I have decided I'm gonna give dying yarn myself a shot. I had interviewed a while back at a local yarn dyer for a job but didn't get it which is why I'm now in an office job. I have a bunch of cool color line ideas for yarn and I feel like it's something I would be capable of. I think if I test it out and really enjoy it it would be something I would consider seriously investing in. Recently I've felt really scared of being in an office job for the rest of my life, and I would have to do that instead of pursuing a passion. But I also have to balance that with beinf practical because I need things like health insurance (booooooooo).
All I want to do all day now is play Fields of Mistria. I'm not someone who has been into "cozy" famring-sim type games outside of Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing (if you can include that in that genre). But something about the progression in this game has been far more satisfying for me to play than Stardew, the dialogue is more involved and varied, and there's a better variety of gameplay. I think I just spent 4 hours playing it today and I could play more. I also just bought a steam deck which means I'll be able to play it while laying in bed too.
Today I visited Yellow Springs here in Ohio, it's a really cute little town with lots of local shops. It's such a nice place to visit,if it wasn't so hot today it would've been nice to hike at John Bryan State Park too. I really missing getting to hike and backpack a lot so i think it would be a good place to visit again for a pretty easy hike.
We got another cat! Sort of! My little sister adopted a cat yesterday, I live at home so I'll be around her a lot before I move out. She's super cute, it seems like they're settling on the name Phoebe for her. The good thing about having a new cat in the house is it means I have to be patient and wait until I move out to get a dog. Here's a picture of the new little lady:
I want to go back tomorrow before I seriously consider putting in an application. I've never been much of a dog person, but my boyfriend is and yet he's the one that is a lot more hesitant about it which is funny.
I think my best bet would be getting a job at a university, something I've wanted and would prefer anyways. Hopefully my current job gives me enough experience to do exactly that.

I try not to over-romanticise being in Kyoto or Japan because realistically there's still downsides to being there like there is anywhere. Especially when I don't even speak the language. Plus I really hate the way people in the US tend to talk about Japan, like it's just some crazy cool place that is living in the future or overemphasizing a lot of the cultural differences.
Anyways, I still really miss Kyoto and think about it all the time and how at peace I felt there. Heres a couple of pictures I took there back in March:
