another rainy day : October 16 2025

yeah, it is always like this. tokyo gets lots of rainfall around this time. and when it rains, i do not have the slightest will power to move even an inch.

yet here i am walking for just a bit. i did some errands, bought laundry supplies. it was rainy and yet here i am planning to do some laundry. indoor drying is the key, just make sure that enough odor killers are used.

that simple walk gave me enough spark to jumpstart the day. gave me enough jolt to go to the gym and walk on the treadmill. i have started this netflix series, too. i will share about that soon, i will just have to figure out how to write something so brutal and savage.

at least the rain stopped after my gym time, i got to walk outside a little more.

here is how the japanese do house paint jobs, by the way. proper scaffolding outside with sheets. this is most likely done to keep the dust and paints from splattering all over. they really do not want to cause any inconvenience to others. hopefully this trait can be adopted in other countries, too.

i was also surprised to see a water pump in our park. i see many of these back home, but not so much here in japan. you manually move the lever up and down, and it pumps out water from below ground. too much of these are quite hazardous though as it will leave empty caverns underground. too risky for earthquake prone areas.

i went home not long after that.

as an ender, i'm sharing this cinnamon roll baked by @appleeatingapple. she told us to whisk some cream cheese and sugar as topping. i got no cram cheese though, so here is my blueberry jam version. that was also tasty.
