We celebrated my waifu’s birthday. I just managed to read a bit manga magazines. But I have no regrets spending time with her was more important than reading for me. She said it was a great birthday because we are together.

A little Memories Off VN today, for a new Natively VN book club.
This weekend was rough. I had to work an hour longer than I was supposed to both days, and when I finally got home I was too out of it to Japanese. I somehow got through a short reading at the end of both days that took me about 5 minutes to go through just to keep my streak. Honestly shocked that I could still read hiragana. But reading is reading and my streak still lives!

Back to work today, it was nice actually. I haven’t forgotten how to do eye exams, what a relief. Regarding book, the chapters in this book are too long for tiny reads. I miss Honzuki and Kusuriya for their short chapters.
Also Kanae didn’t leave up the vod for his second stream today of the LoL custom match for some reason, I haven’t found out why yet TuT. ずるいよ. Maybe if I watch his teammate’s vod I’ll find out.

- The rest of the week’s Bocchi reading
- Two chapters of 正反対, I think this volume might be a bit above the rest of the manga’s difficulty level, but will see how I go, but it looks like one substory involving two more complicated and difficult to understand characters is coming to a head meaning they have a lot more presence in this vol

tried some more マタギ but it’s on the low end of average and the useful, informative stuff doesn’t make up for how weak it is as a manga so i gave up. span the randomiser again and got skip and loafer! so i read a chapter of that. it’s nice to read something easy for once. i went over the text from the manabo textbook again which is why the pg number is the same

today’s nhk article was this one (nazca lines)
I love these! I used to knit and crochet, but arthritis has made me give it up. I love seeing other people’s cool creations.
Today I free-read half of Chap. 35 of よつばと!
I’ve missed a couple of days. I’m feeling resistant to Japanese study these days - my attention is being pulled in a lot of different directions. I’m trying to do at least a minimum every day (a Duolingo lesson, some Wanikani reviews, a tiny bit of reading if I can fit it in) so that when I’m ready to be serious again I haven’t entirely lost the thread.

I got back to my nearly daily reading of ノーゲーム・ノーライフ 1 light novel. There is not that much time for reading, I only manage to go at a snail’s pace but sooner or later I will be done reading this book.
Just doing something every day (for as little as 15mins) can be very effective over time. ٩(^‿^)۶

Yesterday I read just a few pages of some level 3 tadoku, and today after quite a busy day I enjoyed an easier level 2 story. I had quite a lovely moment today during watching/listening practice where I felt like I was enjoying it with little effort
Maybe being tired from working on a ton of stuff today meant my brain shut off just the right amount tonight to enjoy Japanese.
