Tough Tokyo

Standard

Mei-Shun changed today’s reservation at a hair saloon in 御徒町 for a cut, newly into one nearby 東京 station next week. The latter gave her a phone call to inform their suspension in April, yet returned to normal business 2 weeks after that state of emergency lifted. This is also the day her beloved father went on a long journey 11 years ago. She hopes to see him at mom’s home soon.

His favorite hydrangea in sky blue is missed as well.

 

Last Weekday

Standard

… of this month we have today. How was it for you kind followers? Mei-Shun feels it quite fine, which has become nice time to rethink about her life (slightly described here) with kabuki dance, Mikan-chan and Ms. Piano. Precisely, she is so much grateful to all of these loved ones: she experienced almost no stress under that stay-home campaign. Thanks to them and … her great sponsor Shin of course.

PM’s face masks were delivered to Shin’s office, not yet to home.

Knew It

Standard

Meow, my day of the month comes as usual, with longer time for dad working at home these days. Mom does not change so much from how she has been so far, wondering what would come next onto black-and-white keys of Ms. Piano. What, Spanish test expected to be held in June will be canceled, for the same reason why he prefers staying with us to going out? Please calm down. Lick, lick, purr …

Miss U

Standard

Oh, Princess Maria, Ms. Last One, Mr. Tea Time and Ms. Sagittarius, Mei-Shun has to wait for at least 3 weeks to see you all again. A horsey riding club they belong to informed her that it would be closed until the state of emergency goes ineffective. Well, it might be right: although members can stay away from three Cs outdoors, indoor environment is almost the same as other business.

 

Sakura Moon

Standard

Meow, sudden shower, stormy wind and weird virus have forced me and mom to stay at home from weekend. It is just as usual — my realm is here, she prefers to keep social distance. Let’s therefore enjoy warm sunlight through windows in daytime, bright moonlight at night, purr. We are expected to see a full moon tonight. Called with “pink” or “super” before, it is the biggest in 2020.

Welcome Back

Standard

Ms. Scarlet was renewed by four tyres. Cost performance much improved, handling lightened. Thank you so much, Shin who always gives priority to safety of Mei-Shun. And same to you, Momo-chan who has bloomed at the end of several branches. Popular cherry breed 染井吉野 in Tokyo is expected to do tomorrow, so it is you who won the first blossom of the year.

Curtain Calls

Standard

Meow, it was too late. Mom did not feel good enough to walk to the nearest shrine in the morning. Neither did I, and rain followed soon. Since it locked us into home, she chose a photo of lovely yellow flowers below, taken the other day during her exercise above. So we are on a stage, yet still behind a curtain. Mom, it seems your condition affects mine. Please take care of yourself for our better performance together.

Sleep Well

Standard

Meow, mom lets me stay free from the cage at night these days. It is very comfortable to relax on the sofa covered by clean blankets, with warm wind coming down from an air conditioner. Two restrooms became available; one I’ve used from my kittenhood, another bigger set beside a refrigerator. Thanks mom, I feel much better. You are always welcome to get up before dawn. Hold me for a while, purr. Purrr …

After 4Y + 45Wks

Standard

Mei-Shun had a phone call from Dr. A meaning “Yes” on weekend. Now she can live another half an year without thinking about it. It is her greatest pleasure, thanking everyone close to her whom she loves so much. One of them Shin, on the top of her list, is on a business trip to Germany. Staying at Frankfurt am Main, he visited Munich, Antwerp in Belgium before coming home tomorrow.

 

Curled Up

Standard

Meow, mom admired white friends the other day, while silver was heard among them. I know her favorite is my coat, no need to hiss with jealousy. Now, today is so gray that I can sleep all day long. Here is my favorite bed, her legs covered with 半纏 or kimono-shaped jacket. She is good at smoothing me by hand, makes a fluffy doughnut whose topping sometimes glistens in green.
