Happy Thanksgiving 2024
Another lovely Thanksgiving has passed. This year was a bit quieter since I celebrated early with a Friendsgiving in Japan. We are also in between trips, so I wasn’t really up to organizing the cooking or getting people to come celebrate with us. So, it was a blessing to be able to join friends at…

Too Much Travel?!
A pause in our flitting to and fro feels nice. We have been traveling every month to somewhere new according to M’s photo memories. The positive of traveling is that life is always changing and we experience new things regularly. The downside is that it is easy to forget where we have been, and we…

Japan Visit
I just returned from what has become a yearly visit to Japan. My relationship with the country has evolved now that I don’t live there full-time nor need to work to enjoy what the Land of the Rising Sun offers. While I can never quite decide if I would want to live there again, I…

New York Visit
I may have left it too long for my memory to recall our/my latest trip to New York City. It was nearly a month ago now and it seems that despite my promises to update about the trip, I have only just now remembered. Guess that’s part of the brain fog era of life that…

Waiting to Breathe
Well, I had two glorious days of doing absolutely nothing, which was much needed. My energy cup was bordering on empty, which is often when my bipolar tendencies kick-in.

Small Town Regrets
I keep meaning to sit down to write, but catching up on “normal” life and trying to see local friends has made it more challenging than I had anticipated in settling into routine. I feel as if I’m running on fumes. Perhaps, that is also because I might have the tinge of a cold threatening…

Seasonal/Annual Illness
Well, it has happened despite my best efforts to Jedi mind-trick or deny its existence. I am sick. I tried my best to positive energy it away and perhaps it is not as bad as past illnesses have been because of this, but there’s no denying it. I. am. sick. I hate being sick. I…

Japan: Days 8.5 to 13
Well, the remaining days in Japan flew by so that I ended up not taking as many photos since we were busy socializing and enjoying our time. I put together a quick montage of images in video format here, so you can have a look at the whole trip in quick images. Enjoy! ~T 🔥🐉♋️

Japan 2023: Days 8.5/13
We are back in Japan for a visit. It’s been just over three years since we left during the early pandemic/shutdown days. When we left, we didn’t quite know what we were doing but the timing seemed right to try to move with the freedom of online work. Turns out we rode the wave well…

Autumn Bash 2023
We love a party – yes, even me, the introvert! Although I tend to prefer smaller group gatherings for catching up with people, I do enjoy bringing people together and seeing what sort of social interactions will arise to give me food for thought. M loves a large party to play host and to flit…
