🎶 Here’s a song by one of my favorite singers, Aiko. I’d love to see one of her live shows someday.
Have a nice Wednesday!
Recovery Day
“Break of Dawn” Cedar Park, 2017
こんばんは！How’s it going?
Today I stayed home and worked –I still don’t feel so great so I took it easy. Of course, I’m busy busy busy with work, but at least I could be more comfortable and wear pajamas all day. 😄 Hooray for loungewear.
Today’s photo is of the sky getting lighter as dawn breaks. It looks pretty cool, doesn’t it? Nature is amazing.

Under the Weather
“Yummy Dinner” Cedar Park, 2017
こんばんは！How’s it going?
I had a rough day today. It started out fine, but after I got to work, I started to feel ill – my whole body was achy and I felt the chills. 😩 So at around 10 AM I headed home to rest.
I mentioned in another post that I have trouble regulating my temperature, and today was no different. The chills had me shivering, and I tried to warm up by staying next to the space heater, but inside my body I was still cold. So… I made a bowl of instant ramen with egg and voila! I was warm again. 😌 It’s a little sad looking, this bowl of noodles, but it really made me feel better.

After that, I was able to do a little work before I started feeling awful again, so I laid down and watched some TV for a bit. I promised my son to take him to see a gym he is interested in going to so I wanted to at least have enough energy to make it through that.
That evening outing to the gym actually felt pretty good, so when we returned home I was able to eat a delicious meal with my family, which is the photo at the top of the post.
And now I really need to sleep… hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow.
Take care of yourselves!

Kaiju Nite 7
“Kaiju NIte 7” Cedar Park, 2017
こんばんは！How’s it going?
Tonight we hosted Kaiju Nite 7 at our house. It’s a get together we have with a few friends in which we watch Japanese kaiju, or “strange beast”, movies. Our first Kaiju Nite back in 2014 featured Godzilla movies, and tonight’s double-feature was Daimajin and Daimajin Strikes Back.
These movies were a bit different than the “normal” kaiju movies because they are set back in old feudal Japan instead of modern times. Also, the kaiju “Daimajin” mainly appears in animated form during only the last 15 or 20 minutes of the movie.
I was impressed by the quality of these films, which were released in 1966. The cinematography was really cool, with interesting camera angles and the special effects were great. The plot was very basic but still a lot of fun!

As usual, Mikey chose the movies, provided some background to each of the movies, and even brought some toys. And of course we had plenty to eat and drink before and during the movies. 🍴
It was a fun evening, and I am looking forward to Kaiju Nite 8. 😄
