September is already here but it's still warm outside, so why don't we get extra summer-ish with Hermione and her holidays at Malfoy Manor 😉☀️

Junk Journaling: Finding ephemera to use

Since we just talked about how to make a junk journal last post, now let’s talk about what you will use to fill it up and make it pretty. Junk journaling is like going on a treasure hunt where every little piece you find can tell a story. You can use almost anything to create your journal. First off, you might want to start with the basics, like old book pages. These can be from old novels,…

Tomorrow’s outgoing mail to my friend Gentry!

I actually had no idea what to do with this one for a long time, i went through multiple different ideas for a theme but none seemed to be working for me. In the end i decided to make Kiki’s Delivery Service theme! i was originally going to go for My Neighbor Totoro but i felt like i didn’t have many things to use so i went for another one of my favorite Ghibli movies! I also printed out a picture of Kiki flying on her broom and turned that into a flipbook. Not very happy with how the inside looks though so I didn't include a picture.

眠れない・Can't Sleep

眠れない。2時間だけ寝て急に目を覚ました。嵐が来た？猫が遊んでいる？子供が泣いている？トイレに行きたい？いいえ。ただ目を覚まして眠れない。

Can't sleep. I slept about two hours but suddenly woke up. Is the storm here? Is my cat playing around? Is my kid crying? Do I need to go pee? Nope. I just woke up and can't sleep.

明日、しなければならないことが多い。リビングを片付ける、お土産を買う、空港行きバスの時間を確認する。心配も多い。娘は日本語がまだまだ足りない。台風はいつ来る？したいことも多い。姉に電話したい。絵を描きたい。娘のハロウィーン仮装を作りたい。自分のハロウィーン仮装も作りたい。あっ、そうね。昨日、スーパーに行ったのに、あれを買うのを忘れた。頭がうるさいね。眠れない。

I have a lot of things to do tomorrow. I need to clean up the living room, buy some souvenirs, check the airport bus schedule. I have a lot of things to worry about. My daughter still needs to learn more Japanese. When will the typhoon finally get here? I want to call my sister. I want to do some art. I want to make my daughter's Halloween costume. I want to make my own costume. Oh, right. I forgot to get something when I went to the grocery store yesterday. My head is too noisy. Can't sleep.

夫は今どこにいる？飛行機に乗ってヨーロッパに飛んでいるのを知っているけど、今どこにいる？ふむ、夜9時出発だったら、多分中国の上にいるだろう。夫は寝ているかな。私は眠れない。

Where's my husband now? I know he's on a flight to Europe, but where is he now? Hmm, he left around 9pm, so he's probably somewhere over China by now. I bet he's sleeping. I can't sleep.

アメリカの大統領の選挙について考えたくないね。あの人が勝ったらどうする。嫌だ、絶対嫌だ。勝つわけがないだろう。8年前もそう思ったが、結局勝った。4年前に負けたから、今回も負けるだろう。負けて欲しい。あの人が負けても、アメリカに帰りたくない。家族に会いたくても、アメリカに帰りたくない。眠れない。

I don't want to think about the upcoming presidential election in the US. If that guy wins, what will I do? Awful. Totally awful. There's no way he can win. 8 years ago we thought that too, but in the end he won. He lost 4 years ago, so he's definitely going to lose this time, right? I hope so. Even if he loses, though, I don't want to go back to the US. Even if I want to see my family, I don't want to go back. Can't sleep.

猫は本当に可愛いよね。今飼っている猫が世界一かもしれない。耳の形がいいし、鼻が茶色くて可愛いし、目の色が素晴らしいし…この猫が大好き。昔飼っていた猫もとてもいい子だった。ナタリーちゃん。初めてのペットで本当に良かった。喉頭の問題のせいで、ナタリーの「ニャー」が「ギャー」になった。いつも一緒に寝て、朝に起こしてくれた。兄妹3人で森に遊びに行った時、ナタリーも一緒に行った。ある冬、ナタリーが凍った池に歩いている時、氷が割れた。ナタリーが冷たい池に落ちて、私に救われた。よどんで臭い池に落ちたナタリーをコートの中に入れてあたためた。ナタリーのいい思い出のおかげで、眠くなってきた。

Cats are so cute. The cat I have now just may be the best in the world. Cute-shaped ears, cute brown nose, beautiful eyes... I love this cat. I had a great cat when I was a kid, too. Natalie. I'm so glad she was my first pet. She had some problem with her voice box, so her "meow" was more like "gaa." She always slept with me and woke me up in the morning. When my siblings and I went to play in the woods, she often came with us. One winter, Natalie was talking on a frozen pond when the ice broke. Natalie fell into the cold water, but I quickly saved her. She was so stinky from the stagnant pond water, but I stuffed her inside my coat to warm her back up. Thanks to these sweet memories of Natalie, I'm feeling a bit sleepy.
