After arriving at the clinic, I found out I have bronchitis, which is a serious bummer. Especially because I was supposed to be doing the Osaka Night Run tonight, and I really wanted to beat my time from last month. When I told the doctor that I was supposed to be running, he looked at me like I was crazy and told me not to exercise for at least a week. Guess I know how Chad feels now...except that instead of trying to watch what I eat since I can't work out, I'd rather drown my sorrows in the shu-cream he bought for me.
And so here I am, crumbs on my lips and typing in between coughs, writing a post I intended to write a few weeks ago. On the bright side, the post is about Halloween fun!
First, I'd like you to take a moment to admire my beautiful nails. This is 100 yen store action at its classiest: orange nail polish + Halloween nail stickers = 200 yen.
Next, I want to show you this:
1. Pumpkin Pudding Kit Kats (which I sadly didn't get to try)2. Halloween Display (Halloween stuff was out way back in September!!)
3. Random Halloween Singing Thing
4. Super Cute Hat for a Costume
Next comes a place that dangerously awaits me every morning right inside the Hanshin Line gates: The Fresh Bakery.
This bakery has the most delicious mango pastries I've ever tried, as well as some pretty delicious blueberry ones. Walking by a few weeks ago, I couldn't resist trying one of their Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Pies. Chad and I split one and it was really nice! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the inside was filled with cooked-down slices of kabocha (Japanese pumpkin). Subtle sweetness and spice!Every year, Halloween seems to get more popular in Japan. This makes me very happy as it's one of my favorite holidays, and because it's fun to share the fantasy and magic of Halloween with kids. At school my kids can't get enough!
Speaking of school and Halloween, I've got a big all-day Halloween lesson tomorrow with parents. Better get to sleep! Take care... <3
