こんばんは。How’s it going?

The other day my fountain pen wasn’t writing well. I thought the nib must be messed up because the ink wasn’t being applied to the paper as smoothly as before. The lines were broken and uneven. Could something be plugging up the slit that the ink flows down? Maybe the tines got skewed a bit. Is there a bit of dried ink somewhere in the nib? I treat my pens gently, so I was kind of angry that the pen company could manufacture something that only writes nicely for about a month, and then breaks from normal use!! Garbage! 😤

Then I realized… the pen was out of ink. 🤭

******************

Today’s photo is of a “Dogijuku” hot dog that I had for lunch at work. It’s the Japanese-style hot dog that I was reluctant to get because I love authentic Japanese food, and often the fusion type foods are not so great. But I have to say, this hot dog was yummy! It had nori, ginger, and wasabi mayo on top of the bacon-wrapped hot dog. So yummy!

I hope you had a nice day!

We made it to Friday! I’m celebrating by sipping on a glass of whiskey with my friend from Osaka. She’s a little odd, but very funny. 😆

I hope you had a great week!

This afternoon I took this photo of our cat Anko and dog Lani sitting together nicely in the same position. And then they moved together, so I took a second photo and made a little animation. Funny, huh?

When they first met, they didn’t get along so well, but just recently, in the past several days it seems, they seem to have become close! Yay!

I hope you had a great day.
