Studious Hanako
I started taking Japanese classes again, because Mister T only speaks Japanese, and I find it extremely frustrating that I know less Japanese than a 16-month old toddler. Also, it gives me an excuse to hang out at Starbucks and study again lol.

Fall has always been my favourite season

At The Latin Bar
I figured “It’s been about 20 years; perhaps it’s time for me to try Salsa dancing again.” I think I’ll stick to Lindy Hop.

Presented By Hanako
I was asked to do a presentation on “How I Retired Early,” so I dragged out my old work-from-home tools, fired up Keynote (since I no longer have MS PowerBoink,) dressed all Corporette, and gave an hour long session!

Not Quite Ready for “Big Girl” Shoes
I don’t think I’m ready to start wearing the “big girl” shoes yet. At Forever 21, or as I think of it, “For I was never 21, and none of this stuff actually fits.”

My First Re-Birthday
It’s very hard for me to pin-point the exact moment I decided to start my journey, but I do celebrate the day I started hormone therapy as my Re-Birthday. Hanako is one year old today, and it’s been the best year of my entire life. Dinner (and desert!) at View 202 in Redding, California.
