I am still pissed off that we lost. How could we lose at tennis? If I could play every position, we would've won. Of course, that's completely unrealistic, but still. Losing. At. Tennis. Ugh.

Back in Yokohama. Managed to schedule tennis with Sanada, Yanagi, and Kirihara. I might have partial hearing loss from that. My sister is being kind and spending a couple of days with her big brother before abandoning him to go hang out with her friends. Mom made me promise not to spend all my time in the garden and dad locked up his art supplies so I wouldn't "borrow" any. I brought my own, but he has this clay that I've wanted to work with for awhile now. Maybe I can convince him to take me to the art supply store and get it for me. Silver Week gift or something.

Anyway, I'm glad I'm home. I was spending far too much time obsessing overthinking one of the paintings I'm working on. The time away should help. Besides, I have art history to study for.

That would be really generous of them. I almost made you a card with that paper this year, but I thought you'd be happier if I bought an extra carton of eggs instead.

[jimihi]

I was very happy for the extra carton of eggs this year. Your omelette making skills are becoming more formidable, Kentarou.

[jimimi]

We can save up for this year, Masami, and have hokkaido cheese in the omelette too.

[jimihi]

What a treat. We should try do it for New Years. Are we going to do it in your room or mine?

[jimimi]

Let's do it in my room. Our basil plant is growing really nicely. Let's hope that it stays strong through the winter so we can enjoy the flavor.

[jimihi]

Growing some herbs was a good idea. They really add to our meals.

[jimimi]

What do you think we should grow next? If we want to be very daring, how about cilantro?

[jimihi]

What a wild idea. I vote also for cilantro. We should go to the gardening shop tomorrow and see if they have any advice for keeping the basil growing well.

[jimimi]

I wonder if we should grow from seeds, or if they have a small plant in stock. They had such wonderful tips for us last time. Do you thing we should bring them a little bit of basil as a thank you?

[jimihi]

Maybe we could try both and see which is more effective for our skill level.

That's a nice gesture. Let's do that.

[jimimi]

What a bold suggestion, Masami! It's not exactly cost effective, but really important for us to know for future herb growing.

I'll pack some to stay cool.

[jimihi]

Yes! If we put in a bit more work now, we can see if buying the cheaper seeds is just as good as growing from seedlings and we can ultimately save money in the long run.

They'll be surprised to see us with some basil.

[jimimi]

Imagine having a real garden someday. Or at least a large enough balcony for a few pots.

It'll be a huge shock.

[jimihi]

That's the dream, Kentarou. Let's work hard together to aim for it!

[jimimi]

That's right. We can make it happen!
