Today, on the way to get the medicine, I saw acorns growing on a tree. It made me feel that fall is here.

I need some autumn clothes.

I think that I am overwhelmed with my circumstance right now. But it’s okay.

I hear the sound of rain right now. And I love the sound of rain.

Why did Pamela need to die so suddenly?

When I said to ダン蔵

Life is difficult.

ダン蔵 said Life is not difficult but not easy.

I love his attitude. I respect the positive way of his view.

I visited to my dermatologist. My skin problem made me Kawaikunai.

I am in a bad mood.

I’m, so to speak, a blunt person. When I was a high school student. One of my classmate said to me that I am a Kawaikunai person, however…

I think “Kawaii” is a word for pretty or beautiful in Japanese and it is kind of familiar words of Japanese like Tsunami, Tempura, sushi, Fujiyama.

My friend accused me that not my appierrence but my attitude is not Kawaii.

私は、何というか、言うなれば、ぶっきらぼうな人間なのですが、高校生の時クラスメートにみにこちゃん、可愛く無いよ。と言った。.. 可愛いって、津波とか、天プラとか寿司とか富士山くらい、知られてる言葉だと思うけど、私の友達は私の姿ではなく、態度が可愛く無い、と言って注意した。

I think it was a very good advice. However, she was a pretty girl raised in a wealthy family but she never hesitated to do shoplift. Therefore, I never respect her. However, I often think of her and appreciate that she told me about my bad face.

とても良いアドバイスだったと思います。 しかし、彼女は裕福な家庭で育ったかわいい女の子でしたが、万引きをすることを躊躇しませんでした。だから私は、彼女のことを尊敬してなかったけど、時々彼女を思い出して、彼女が私の不機嫌な顔について文句を言ったことに感謝しています。

Today, during lunch, I told ダン蔵 that I hadn’t heard from Pamela lately and I needed to contact her. Then, after that, I opened my email, and I found an email announced her death. I am shocked and despondent. I am so sad.

She was an amazing person. I can’t believe she is no longer with us. You never know when your life ends.

I am a little stressed out today. It’s because I am not strong enough. It’s all my fault as I am a weak mind. I feel sad, but it’s all my responsibility. So, I am okay. I can make tomorrow better.

My favorite lifestyle shop on Avenue A is closing and will be gone for good. I am so sad that so many shops were gone because of Covid-19.

On the other side, new shops are appearing. I notice especially many new tiny hair salons are now on business. On my way home to my work, I see many small, independent hear salons.

Actually, they are costly. $80 for a haircut. I want to ask those hair salons, are you serious?

My haircut is $20. I’ve been my neighborhood Chinese hairdresser for more than ten years. My hairdresser Michael can’t speak English, but we don’t need to talk in our longtime relationship. I went there, saw each other, nodded each other, and he did my hair cut without any words.

It was $17, but after Covid-19, it increased by $20. I want to ask Michael, my hairdresser. Are you serious? What can you do with only a $3 increase? But, instead of asking questions to him, I give him tips because our relationship is without words.

At Fiat cafe; Today’s dessert, the strawberry on the chocolate mousse. The starwberry was cut like rose petals. It reminds me of the vinegared red turnips that my mother used to make. My mother cut the red turnips like a rose petals. They were beautiful and labor of love. I respect all of her hard work and kindness.

Tonight was the opening of a new exhibition at my gallery.

However, I realised that I didn’t take any photos of the evening. Why?

Anyway, it was very good opening. I’m glad.
