ndbekah: Today I took a boat home from work. Didn't save me any time, but a gorgeous way to end the day.

ndbekah: I'm leaving Nakameguro this week. Moving to Yokohama, ready for a bedroom and a kitchen and an extra hour of sleep. But today, feeling sad about leaving one of my favorite places, my convinence store was closed. I probably shopped here five times a week.
