  It was warm today, so I washed some clothes that needed to be washed by hand and put our futon outsideto dry.I also walked to the store to buy some groceries.After lunch, I wanted to go to my vegetable garden, but I didn't.I had a slight headache, so I rested and took a nap.In the evening, my husband came home from his business trip.He visited his hometown as welland brought back some souvenirs —driedseaweed and shrimp rice crackers from the seaside town.Tomorrow is the start of another weekday.I hope we can stay healthy and spend our days well.

- A Day at Design Festa 2026
  Today I went toDesign Festa 2026 at Tokyo Big Sight.Before having lunch with my colleagues, I spent the morning walking around the venue and exploring the booths.It was my first time joining the festival, and I wasimpressed by how many creators were there.Right after entering the hall, I found a pair of lovely earrings that perfectly matched my taste, so I bought them immediately.（KIKI'S GALLERY）There were so many beautiful things that I wanted to take home, and it was honestly hard to stop myself from shopping.I also watched a few stage performances.One woman around my age danced jazz with such powerful energy, and there was even a singing-and-dancing show featuring "butlers" from Swallowtail, which isa butler café in Ikebukuro.Seeing all these performances made me realize that there are so many unique worlds I had never known before.It was refreshing to experience Tokyo Big Sight not as a work venue, but as a place full of creativity and individuality.

- Three Difficult Days
  These past three days were quite difficult.I had a persistent headache, and even simple tasks felt heavy.I still made breakfast and a lunch box for my son every morning, but it took a lot of effort.My husband prepared dinner, but I couldn't eat much.I wanted to rest, but I had to work every day.I hope I can finally take it easy this weekend.

- A Bit of a Tough Day
  My son left early this morning, so I headed to my vegetable garden before seven.I pulled some weeds and sowed mini radishes, and before I knew it, an hour had passed.When I got back home and started working, I realized I had a pretty bad headache.I still made it through two meetings, but I wrapped up work early.I hope it’s gone by tomorrow.

- Sunday in the garden
  I swung by a plant shop this morning and grabbed some okra and green bean seedlings.After that, I spent some time in my garden planting them.I picked a little lettuce,arugula, shiso, and my first snow peas this year.The taro was just starting to sprout, so I put cups over the shoots to keep the sun off them.

- Short study session
  I studied marketing today.I need to pass the Marketing 2nd Grade exam, even though I'm not very interested in the subject.It's not easy to stay motivated, but I'll continue studying because it will be useful for my work.最近はマーケティングの勉強を少しずつ再開しています。興味がある分野ではないけれど、仕事のために必要なので、無理のない範囲で続けていこうと思います。

- Winter Cards
  My husband made curry and rice for lunch. We had a nice long chat with our son before he headed back to his place in the afternoon.After that, I wrote some winter greeting cards.I didn’t send New Year’s cards this year because my husband’s mother passed away last year, so we didn’t celebrate the New Year. But I received some cards, so I’ll send replies.My work starts tomorrow, and I feel a little nervous. I forgot to reply to some important emails, and I need to write a few documents… And I have to wake up earlier than I did today.But I enjoy my work now, so I hope everything goes smoothly.I’ll stretch before bed so I can stay healthy for tomorrow.Thank you for reading my diary today.

- An Ordinary Day with Gyoza
  Today was a warm and sunny day.But I felt a little bit sad because my son will go back to his house tomorrow. So I wondered if I could cook something he likes.I made gyoza. Usually cooking gyoza takes about an hour and a half, so I don’t make it often.I chopped cabbage, green onion, mushroom and meat, and I made 50 gyoza.We ate them with ramen.My family ate 46 gyoza, and they looked satisfied. Seeing that made me feel happy.In the afternoon, my older son went out to see his friend,and my younger son went to juku (cram school).The ordinary day had begun again.Tomorrow my son will leave in the morning.I’d like to see him off with a smile.Thank you for reading my diary today.

- Watching the Hakone Ekiden with Takoyaki
  Today and tomorrow are the days of the Hakone Ekiden.It’s a traditional New Year’s university relay race in Japan, and my husband always looks forward to watching it because he loves jogging.Every year, we watch the Hakone Ekiden together and make takoyaki. It has become a small tradition for our family at the start of the year.My husband took out the hot plate this morning and smiled—he knows it means fresh takoyaki.I cut the octopus, cabbage, green onions, and red ginger, then mixed the flour, eggs, and water.The hot plate has 20 little holes. I poured in the batter, added the ingredients, and poured a bit more on top. As I turned each piece, they slowly became round, golden balls.Because the hot plate is electric, it takes time for everything to cook. But today we weren’t in a hurry. The slow pace matched the holiday mood, and it felt like the perfect day to make takoyaki.Thank you for reading my diary today.

- A New Year with Matcha
  It was warm and sunny this morning, and I felt happy that the new year started so beautifully.My son returned home late last night. He went to a shrine with his friends to celebrate the new year, and I didn’t notice when he came back.We aren’t celebrating the new year this time, since my husband’s mother passed away last year. In an ordinary year, we eat osechi, traditional New Year dishes, but not this year.After lunch, I whisked some matcha and enjoyed it with castella.I sometimes whisk matcha because I used to belong to the sadō club.The quiet rhythm of the whisk made me feel peaceful.In sadō, we usually eat sweets before drinking matcha, but at home, we enjoy them together in our own way.Thank you for reading my diary today.
