I'll find a way so I can say working from home has helped me lead a more balanced life.

New Normal.

Now that I spend most of time at home, so I'm studying English a lot! 

It'd be great if I can say that. Actually, I've been busy at working from home and overwhelmed by new things I have to learn according to teleworking. Not having to commute makes things easier for me. On the other hand, successive web meetings are draining my energy.

I'm out of it.

Sometimes, I miss the days when I shared the food with my friends at the restaurant while we enjoyed chatting, laughing, and filling in each other. Oh, this cheese nachos looks so GOOD!!!

I was expecting buying an autumn high-heeled shoes, but I decided to postpone it. There won't be a chance to go out with such elegant shoes. I recognize fashion is changing to more comfortable design.  

It's no fun not having any reason to dress up. So 2 days out of a week I work at the office is my chance to dress nicely. Dressing casually is good, however, I need another chance for me to be what I am.  

I want to go out for lunch or dinner with my close friends at times. I believe the day will come again.

Let's just start by getting up earlier from tomorrow. I need to freshly start studying English. Beauty, English, (and Collie) matter to me. I want to stay true to myself. I can get back into the swing of things.  And then, I will say  －

"Working from home has helped me lead a more balanced life."

 

Detroit views by Collie and a little something extra by Rose

 Hello guys. :)

It is raining outside... I'll just sit back and relax at home. Today, I post some pictures sent from Collie in Michigan. He seemed to go to Detroit in his free time. 

It is one of the nicest things I can post something about Michigan when I am stuck in Japan. I can't fly anywhere not only this summer but also maybe next year.

It was Tuesday. It is great that churches are open to the public even except Mass times. Every person can come in and spend a quiet time there.

I am also going to some places I like in Tokyo. For me, it is mostly Otemachi as I introduced to you in my blog. According to the coronavirus outbreak, I got to go out alone more often. I hardly have a chance to be taken pictures of myself. So...I got to take a screenshot to tell him my latest update. It's quite a good idea, isn't it? My company provided each worker with a web camera. We could choose what we wanted within the budget.

I think I am going to send him this screenshot later😊

I'm hungry. I will enjoy my meal while watching a movie from now.

Please sit back...and you too have a good relaxing weekend...   Rose

Three glasses of sparking wine in the lovely terrace of Le Beurre Noisette

Hi... It seems like that I got tired and need to rest. I should use the remaining summer holidays even if I don't go abroad. So several times I went to Otemachi to enjoy a fantastic street scene.

One evening after work, I could make it to the happy hour at Le Beurre Noisette. It's totally fantastic! They offer all-you-can-drink alcohol and soft drinks in the terrace from 17:00 to 18:30 on weekdays for only J¥1,000. It's including sparkling wine♪ This dish J¥400 is part of the service charge. What nifty snacks to enjoy drinks leisurely with!

As I introduced several Otemachi scenes in my blog to you, I had a great time there in this summer. Pretty busy with my work, but it was nice to have made time of it. 

It's not always necessary to order from the food menu since I already had the small dish as a service charge, however, I added a soft-boiled egg & avocado dish. I found it was cooked with chili powder.

The inside of the restaurant from the place I sat.  

Walking fast from the office, I arrived here at 17:50. Still, I could have a relaxing time because I could be here after the last order time 18:30. The staff was kind and when I was trying to take a photo of the table before I left, he tried to help me to take a photo of myself. Should I have said "Yes"!? 

On the way to the Otemachi Station, I passed by another restaurant with a cool atmosphere.

Well... I will take my time until I visit there someday. I really need a rest for a while.

Wherever you are, please have a good weekend. Joy, Peace and Happiness... Rose
