I got a rice cooker for my room. It feels good to make my own rice. I got a small 1kg bag of rice for 20k. Next I will buy a bigger bag. It will feel good having that. I know that if anything happens, I will have food. Even if I can’t go out for some reason, I can make my own rice at home. It’s a good feeling knowing I have that. Q. How was your day? Did…
After getting rained on a couple times, I finally decided to buy an umbrella. Today I used it for the first time. When you walk outside with an umbrella in the rain, it feels nice. The rain is nice to look at. The world looks different in the rain, and with an umbrella you can go out and see it. At the coffee shop I like to go to, there are big umbrellas to sit under. The storefront faces a…
After the rain, there were puddles and leaves all over the ground. The air was cool and still. There was nobody at the park. Some insects were examining fruit that fell from a tree.

When you get home, turn off the light and take a long nap. Q. How is the…
Nice day off Today was my day off. I didn’t go to work. It was really nice. The sky was solid gray. I walked to a coffee shop, and just as I got there it started to rain.

It was a very simple…
Jealous of attention My coworker got a haircut, and everyone at work was excited and made a lot of noise. But nobody noticed when I got a haircut last week.
