cherry blossoms and grumbles

I'm in a bad mood. I couldn't sleep last night. My brain was busy chugging away and worrying about crap. Like, Jesse's birthday. What will I get him? What will I do? To make it special? Like, our trip home. Will we see my friends? Will we see my family? Will we be on the road the whole time? Like, the pill. Will I have breakthroughbleeding every single GODDAMN month? I was angry.

Anyhoo, here're some pictures from our holidays last week. It was the week of the cherry blossoms and that's a big deal in Japan.

So we saw some. Here they are:

And here's a pretty tree from a walk at dusk.

We went on a hike in Oirase gorge with Yuko, Jaya and Dahlia.

We had a lovely picnic under a tree and next to a yellow car.

And we did a lot of other stuff, too. It was a really lovely and sunny and beautiful week.

And last, here are some beautiful dogwood for my momma and grandma.
