After perhaps 10 years, we’ve finally gotten rid of our big sofa. The fabric in the arms was so damaged by the cats that it was just too embarrassing to keep. Actually, I was fine with it but Mariko said it was time to go. It was a little sad to leave it at the curb, especially because it rained all night on it. But thank you, sofa, for serving us well! 😊

こんばんは。How’s it going?

For several years I have resisted listening to audiobooks, but a few weeks ago I downloaded the Overdrive and Libby apps, connected them to my public library account and have been enjoying listening to them on my commute. It is wonderful! I enjoy podcasts as well, but I have found audiobooks to be much more satisfying as audiobooks/books have a higher level of writing/editing*. And with only so many hours in the day, I guess I’d rather spend my time on a good book than a podcast.

By the way, Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson is fantastic!

I hope you had a nice day!

We were watching the Oscars when this commercial for The Conners came on. I thought something looked familiar… 😄

Speaking of the Oscars, for the past few years, our family has filled out ballots and held a little competition. This year Koa was the big winner, only getting three categories incorrect. Incredible! I was happy that Bay was able to play along too, even though he is at school. I miss him!

Here’s a photo of mine and Koa’s ballots, folded so that Mariko cannot peek at our choices.
