She's Blossoming

Living anywhere long term presents a unique set of issues I hadn’t anticipated. This is the longest I’ve lived anywhere. Eight years. And I plan for this to be my forever home, so I realized I had to address this new issue. Too. Much. Stuff. And it was about a year ago that I felt… — read more

Yesterday, we went to Uwajamiya. I bought the last few volumes for Frieren, a Frieren artwork book and a Jolyne magnet. I mainly went there to check inventory for things I typically buy online.
