a slow day in japan
This is the first day of my slowing down and what I’m calling ‘making peace with the jizo’. I slept so well last night, with the aid of my now-familiar sleeping tablet, something I hope to become less dependent on as the time passes. But for now it helps with with my healing. i am [...]

hospital food
hospital food my standard lunch in hospital… soup with soba and seaweed, the best sushi i’ve had in ages (it had about 4 different fillings all rolled up into one sushi roll, with tuna and wasabi mayonnaise ontop), piles of pickles, salad and fruit. and condiments, of course. so much better than the western option, [...]
