#FukushimaJustLife | Sun. 9 Mar.
Yesterday, every choice seemed to misfire, the gears slipping, never quite catching. But a new day turns the page, offering the quiet promise of a reset.
The swiftest remedy? My mum’s smile. Wanting to see that unmistakable glow, I stopped by #Dennys, picking up her favourite meal. The moment she saw it, her face lit up—soft, radiant, effortless joy.
A simple gesture, yet enough to set the world right again. And with that, the day begins anew.

#Lectin-free #Snack | Mon. 10 Mar.
I strayed from the lectin-free path yesterday, and my gums didn’t take kindly to it—especially the upper right, now swollen and tender. A gentle yet firm reminder that the lectin-free path leaves little room for missteps. Still, no need to dwell. Today offers a fresh canvas—a chance to recalibrate, refocus, and move with renewed intention. Every choice shapes the journey—I intend to make mine a graceful one.

#Lectin-free #Breakfast | Thurs. 7 Mar.
I couldn’t accompany my mum to her appointment, so I sat alone at the breakfast table. The crisp morning air, laced with a sharp chill, had left its mark—a whisper of nerve pain in every movement, especially in my face. Even the simplest tasks stretched endlessly, yet time slipped away too fast. In the silent room, breakfast faded into a fleeting moment—delicate, yet distant.

#Lectin-free #Dinner | Mon. 3 Mar.
An evening woven with laughter and the delicate artistry of sushi—so captivating that the thought of taking a photo never crossed my mind. Some moments are best savoured in real time.
Still, the night called for an encore. A quiet Italian spot, a beautifully plated dish, and a crisp Italian white to match. Perhaps it was the lingering joy, but tonight, everything tasted exquisite. A day to remember.

My mum, who has #schizophrenia is making brunch a bit later than usual. Since it won’t be ready for a while, I wanted a little something to settle my stomach. A small bowl of Sweet Beans with perilla oil and coffee did the trick.
She usually makes these with raw cane sugar, but I’m trying to reduce my intake, so I swapped it for erythritol. Still adjusting, but they’d go perfectly with Japanese tea.
