I’ve felt down a little today, because I coudnt process dates well although my boss had expected I would be able to do it. We had been talking about it by phone but it didn’t get us anywhere. Maybe yeah, I had more personal reasons, but I can’t write them.
Anyway, I should list some English here then go to bed. Tomorrow is a new day.:

I’d had emotional disorder Since late in Feb. Suddenly I was crying while driving for the office and laugh loud in the public… I know why Id gotten into that situation, but I must not have told about them.I’ve thought it was worst day, when I mailed my friend about my condition. Then he sent me email, yeah, absolutely it was really kind and heart-warming, so every time I read and re-read, I cant help but thinking what an amazing guy he is and how happy I am to have him in my life. Ive never fogotten

Welcome to “Inuya Nekohachi”（犬屋 猫八）
Last Tuesday I went to Kunitachi and Fussa to go to shops there were some goods featuring cat. At first I was head to Kunitach because “Inuya Nekohachi” in there. In Japanese inu means dog and neko means cat, though there were goods only featured cats 
. Anyway this shop wasn’t big but I had seen many funny and cute cats and then bought some postcards.
CAFE SPICE FOODS Arlequin
Next I was driving for Fussa, at there I would have a lunch and coffee the restaurant where I really had wanted to go. Because an exhibition of work featured cat was on display there so I was really looking forward to see them. Definitely there were some cute works and I decided that this shop was my favorite place. Because I didnt only see lovely tables, chairs, lamps and good coffee but furthermore the owners were very nice couple.
Actually there are so many lovely shop in Fussa that I loveFussa.
