I turned a full time job this year, in 2026 from freelancer. Today, I went to Umeda office for the first time.  But from the beginning, I was tired. I felt nervouse, and I don't like office building anyway. Becouse the corridor is dark, I become negative. if I stay there working, I start to feel depressed. The office felt stuffy and uncomfortable. There are too many co-workers and people. I get exhausted that atmospere. and just commuting back and forth drains all my energy! I realized I probably can't go back to being an office employee ever again. Remote work is the only style that really works for now.

I took the TOIEC test for the first time. The test place was Notre Dame University in Kyoto. It's been in the news, becouse it will close next year. Kyoto Kitayama is fancy area. it's kind of Daikanyama in Tokyo. The house there are huge, and there's music hall & Gakushuin-related schools nearby. It didn't seem like a place that close. I haven't gotten result yet! But I really studied for it........ It's very difficult to study while raising a child!!!!!!! And getting good score is very different from being able to speak English. On that day, my headache was crazy terrible. because I just recovered from COVID. And even though I could get a good score when I practiced at home, but I could't do as well the TOIEC test. At the venue, I feel nervous of the atmosphere, and near the end I just wanted to stop. I ran out of time and marked some answers randomly.. Recently, there was news about people getting zero scores on Eiken by mistake . So I hope...

We want to a restaurant we hadn't been to in a long time!!! We went to an Italian restaurant at a Ace hotel Kyoto! The customers were almost all foreigners. I loved that kind of atmosphere. Of course we enjoyed it.... but my daughter was so excited.  She wanted to walk the restaurant garden all the time. The customers next to us looked like an American family. They has small kids and they were very quiet. Is it always difficult to have a fancy dinner with kids????!
