Earlier this year, I cleared out the oshi-ire in our living room and set up a desk space on its shelf. I decorated it and installed some shelving for my books and things, but months later, I realized I didn’t use it as much as I imagined I would because the makeshift desk was too high to work comfortably on. And since it’s a closet, I need to always have the work lamp on.

This morning, I went to the dentist for the first time in four months. I work from 4PM to 7PM on most days, so I had plenty of time to kill after my appointment ended at eleven.

I've been wanting to write again, but have only done so in my journals. I wanted to revive my old Wordpress blog, but it had stuff I didn't want to bother with anymore, and Wordpress has become a lot more complicated to use. I really am getting old.
