Word of the Day: 盆ざる

I still have time to write so I will continue to do that to pass the time.

I have been reading the cooking book: Motto Tsukaeru Kanbutsu no Hon ( The Book on How to Use Your Dry Goods More Effectively ) as a way to practice my Japanese and also to learn how to cook Japanese food.

Last post I was like, I have nothing to do, but I sort of forgot that reading books is pretty productive and perfect for when you're not sure how to occupy your time.

This is also me explaining why my word of the day posts have been a lot of cooking utensils as of late. I am learning all these new cooking terms and it really helps since I watch Japanese cooking streams on Twitch. I don't feel comfortable enough to talk fluently in Japanese to them because I am not sure actually how receptive they are to that. Most of them are studying English and want to use English when talking to a native English speaker.

I have been talking to Reo too, and he graciously uses some Japanese with me but I worry that I am not really practicing as I should. I am wondering if I should invest in an Ai companion to talk to in Japanese but I worry that the translations will be sort of off.

I have a discord server for Japanese so I should try to utilize that more and see if I can organically make language exchange friends.

I am wanting to stream now since I figured out how to turn my phone into a camera.

There are so many challenges in Vocal lately, I thought about entering but I just keep a diary here so I don't think that qualifies as a story. Probably if anything an autobiography book, but that's stretching it.

I could call it " Word of the Day " since that is what I use to mark the different pages as it were.

I know I have to message or call my dad today but a part of me wants a bit more weed. I don't want to talk to him high though so, that is the conundrum there. I think it is mostly because I still have to clean the living room quite a bit and only have 2 hours to do that. Possible, but cutting it close.

I walked into the kitchen pleasantly surprised; I totally forgot I put on more coffee. Now I got nothing to do to drink 3 more cups and then burn up the energy with some cleaning.

Just staring at that Top Priorities category on my todo list... " Call Dad ".... I wrote call, if I just send a message that might be too little.

Then again, I wrote " check out a book at the library " and I doubt I will do that, even if it is requesting a book online. AH! I could see if they have books on medical coding... They do! They have 2 books and 1 was published as early as 2 years ago.

Ok so my intuition counted for something. I guess I am making some leeway on my career now that I know that I can pre-study for free via the library. Great Success~~

Reo sent me a selfie. I didn't have any opinion. I don't know if it is I am scared to have an opinion or if I sincerely just have no feelings for him. I know it isn't fair to him if I am really not this sure right now. Right now, sounds like I have to hurry.
