We may be mismatched, but we're just right

I'm Mii, living a laid-back life.

Enticed by the warm weather the other day,
my daughter and I went to Motomachi-Chukagai.

Our goal was
our first-ever "cosmetic acupuncture" session together.

Rather than for beauty,
we just wanted to experience acupuncture.

Since it was during the Motomachi Shopping Street sale period,
this treatment was also priced at nearly half off.

Two days have passed since the treatment,
and there is no bruising or skin irritation,
so everything is calm.

Since we both had the treatment that day,
it took a total of 3 hours.
Our stomachs were growling the whole time😖

After the treatment, we immediately
headed to the back streets to look for a place to have lunch.

We found a few stylish-looking cafes,
but my daughter was shocked by the prices including dessert,
so we ended up wandering around for a while...

It was crowded everywhere, but looking at the menu at the cafe we finally got into,
we found a compromise(?): "Let's eat a good meal here, and have dessert in Chinatown!"
and we settled down.

After eating, we moved to Chinatown and immediately started eating our way through the streets.

What caught our satisfied eyes were
the words "palm reading" and "fortune-telling."

Since we had never had a reading together, we were excited, thinking,
"Let's make some memories."

However, every shop had a long wait, so we initially gave up and started walking home, but we couldn't resist the words we kept seeing everywhere we walked, and in the end, we decided to wait.
*Regarding the fortune-telling, see the next article👇


"The day I learned the 'just right distance' from fortune-telling"

When we finished the reading and went outside,
it had become completely dark.

My daughter said,
"Since we won't be coming here again, let's walk through Yamashita Park and take the train from Sakuragicho."

It's a route we haven't taken since we were a family of three.

Leisurely, the two of us looked at the night view,
and had a lively conversation about the results of the reading.

Starting recently, my daughter
has begun in earnest
to prepare for medical school entrance exams next year.

With the reading results acting as a tailwind,
I hope she spends this year without any regrets...


That's the kind of day it felt like.

As a mother, all I can do
is prepare the environment and watch over her🍀

That is precisely why
the time we spent together remains quietly in my heart.

👣 At Sakuragicho Station...

Having worked up an appetite from walking, we decided to
have dinner before heading home.

I had prepared dinner so that wouldn't happen,
but oh well.

Since we ended the day with smiles,〇 it is!✨
