It's raining.

The day before yesterday, when I got home there were 3 stink bugs in my entrance!! I'd never experienced anything like it, so I was surprised. On October 1st, Shizuoka Prefecture announced its first 'Pest Outbreak Forecast Warning' for the prefecture, stating that the number of stink bugs observed in regular monitoring had reached approximately 20 times the average year. When I heard this news, I thought, 'So that's what it is!!' 😭 I'm not in Shizuoka Prefecture, but I feel like various insects are being found in large numbers nationwide, based on my own experience 😭 How are things in your area?

Let's do our best today too!

There are so many problematic behaviors from foreigners, isn't there anything that can be done about it? I have a lot of foreigners around me too, but compared to the ones you see in videos or on X, they generally have better manners and morals. It's really just a tiny minority of those 'certain people' causing a ruckus, and it's a shame for the decent foreigners. This applies to Japanese people too, but when you go abroad, you absolutely must follow the laws, rules, and manners of that country at a minimum. It's the principle of 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' This might sound harsh, but if you can't abide by them, you don't deserve to be in that country. Don't cause trouble for trivial reasons like 'looking good for the 'gram' or for profit. It's a huge nuisance to those who are trying to do things properly.

Good morning~😊 It's Tuesday today. I had a weird feeling in my throat yesterday so I took the day off work.😅 I still feel a bit off today, but I'm thinking of going to work as long as I don't push myself too hard.🤔 I can't keep taking days off like this.🤔 If my throat was really hurting, I would have gone to the hospital though.😅 It's just a subtle feeling.😅 It's the change of seasons, so everyone please take care.🙇

It's been almost 2 hours now... I heard something clearly and can't sleep, so I'm writing here. Around 1 AM, before going to bed, I went to the kitchen... It's quiet outside because it's the middle of the night, but from beyond the curtains, I clearly heard "Fu, fuｯ"...! The sound was like laughter, but not quite, which made it even scarier. Beyond the curtains is the balcony, but I'm on the 4th floor. For reference, the curtains are about 1M from where I was. It wasn't from outside the window on the balcony, but from really close behind the curtain... My neighbor also has a woman living there, but it wasn't from that far away; I really heard it from right behind the curtain... I was so startled, I froze, my breath catching, thinking "Huh?" I didn't have the courage to open the curtains.

Maybe it's because I was so tired when I drank, but I don't remember when I slept and woke up at a weird time, and I haven't been able to sleep for 2 hours already. Great! Waking up tired pattern. What was the point of sleeping early!!!

As autumn arrives, the daylight hours get shorter each day~. We're gradually approaching winter.

Anyone else struggling this time of year? My allergies are kicking my butt, what about you guys?
