Hi all!

For the first time in ages, I went shopping for SMALLER clothes! Losing 86 pounds in almost 9 months is great, especially when you feel better in all aspects of life. I have gone from 52 to 48 in jeans and 4x to 3x in shirts.

Mary, I have not forgotten your question about my way of eating. I'll get back to you soon on that.

EDIT: BAM!

Cool. My brother whined to me on the phone, last night, that his doctor gave him some really bad news. His kidneys are failing, his liver is in bad shape, he is 91 lbs overweight and he needs one of those sleep things at night so he keeps on breathing. His doctor told him no alcohol, no sugar, no bread or pasta and to stop smoking and get some exercise. He blames it all on his job, he is a pastry chef at a New York hotel and it is not his fault that he surrounded by good food all day long. They said he has to see a nurtition person and the doctor said a Keto diet is probably the only way he lives much longer. I just do not think he can do it. The last time we were in the same room, I watched him eat a slice of apple pie with ice cream, a creampuff and then he had a huge sandwich in like 30 minutes. His idea of exercise is getting up from his cigarette and Scotch to go to the fridge to get something to eat. The really bad part is that his partner or whatever they call it, is just as bad. All he does is eat pizza and drink beer, but because he is younger and works at JFK, he is not as chubby. Even their dogs are fat. Really sad.

Kind of bored right now. It is pouring down rain and I just heard some thunder. We had the grandkids last night and they wore us out. Too much energy, but both are now playing with a train set Chris set up this morning and they are mad at me because their snack today is carrots and apples. The daycare they are usually at gives them cheese and crackers. They are really going to hate lunch, Chris is making them tuna sandwiches and celery sticks. No cookies, candy or cakes today. They should be happy, Chris has tons of toys for them to play with and when Katja gets home, it will be video games and cartoons. Chris even made Bayley read a Dr. Seuss book and she was not happy. Ok, my turn to play with them. Chris has to run out to his Japanese cartoon store, he got a package there that he ordered.

Back from fucking Connecticut. Brother had a bad Friday. After I talked to him on the phone, he started feeling chest pains and he had to go to the ER. We get a call Saturday morning like at 3 that he was in bad shape and we should get down there. We get there like around 11 and he is already booted from the hospital and they said he had an anxiety attack and that he needs to give up the drugs, booze, cigarettes and fatty foods. No kidding. Chris just said we should get out of this nuthouse. But, my sisters and brother were on the way and it had been a long time since we were all in the same room, so I talked Chris into staying. That was stupid. There is a reason we do not have family reunions, we honestly hate each other. Chris was not happy either because Grace's husband tried to talk to him and Chris told him to go away and that started a couple hours of him trying to get Chris to like him or something. Finally, Chris had enough and told him that he does not like Grace and because he is married to her he does not like him. So, Chris said to him that if he gave him a 20 would he go away until forever. Grace likes to try to talk down to me and likes to say that only reason Chris married me was because I was a kid or something like that. I think that is why Chris hates her. she talks stupid shit and it is all Chris can do to not have a long talk with her and straighten her out on some things.

Me and Carmen got into a shouting match because I do not call her. She is not wrong, but everytime I talk to her she tries to get me to let her spend 6 months with us or something and I would have to kill her after a week. Then my brothers started in about mom liking me best. Really both are like 13 years older than me and that is still a problem. My mom has been dead for years and they are still butthurt, a bad choice of words I guess, because I got the biggest amount in the will. Then I had enough and told them maybe mom was not happy about the gay thing. Mom was kind of old school and she seemed to know way before either one told her. Two days of this and I told Chris lets rent a car and drive home because I think I might blow up a plane. Even leaving did not stop the bs. Carmen had to send me an email asking for me for our new address, I gave her the condo address and hope she can take a hint. I already know that Katja and Paula hate her and we have a big backyard, if she visits I know Chris would think of places to bury the body.

Right now, Chris is making a sandwich for both of us and playing with the dogs. I just want to eat, have an ice tea and sleep for about 20 hours. But, first, I am going to drag my tired ass into the bathtub and see if I can forget about my family. Laters.

Hi, watching an old movie with Chris. Forbidden Planet. I kind of like it, but Chris loves it. Today was really kind of nice, we were thinking of getting in a round of golf but it seemed like eveyone else had the same idea and we could not get a tee time. Instead, we just hung out at the pool and goofed off all day. Katja got all mad at us when she got home. She had a fun day, It was so hot today that she said she sweated through her skirt and had to change twice. She said every office building she went into it seemed had problems with their air conditioning. I guess when you do not use so often, it might break. So, she was miserable when she got home and seeing us lounging by the pool, she said it was not fair. Even Jos had a better day, her bank is nice and cool. Katja said tomorrow is a personal day after her morning appointments in the city.

Ok, movie is over and I am going to get some sleep. Allie had the barks this morning and started barking at squirrels or something around 5 and did not stop until 7. I think that is what started Katja's bad day, Allie was so loud that she even woke them up downstairs. Then Allie slept for like 6 hours. I know I felt like making a ton of noise to wake her up. Ok, time to go to sleep, it is past 1 and I would like to get something like 8 hours of sleep. I am not Chris, I need more than 5 hours a night.

Hi, we just got home from a night out. Dinner was great, we found a new Italian place, for us, called Lucciano Torte. I love great pasta and this stuff was great. I had the ziti with veal and Chris has the lamb shanks and fettuccini. The girls, Tatianna and Kajta found us as we were ordering dessert so we shared a tiramisu and then went to see a movie. It was one of those Japanese cartoon movies that I did not get. It is a bunch of girls who play in a high school band and I guess I can say I did not fall asleep but I did not get why those three were all teary-eyed at the end. The high school did not win the contest, so what? We had to stay for the end of the credits and I guess when the lead girl said she was the new captain of the band or whatever, those 3 started high-fiving each other and saying third season. Of course, all 3 are still hungry so we went and found diner where we got french fries, no poutine. I am gravied out. The girls also had to have burgers and milk shakes. Someone is going to get an upset tummy tonight.

Right now, I am watching Wings and Chris is playing some game on his phone. It is some assassin game where you kill the secret agent. I tried it and got killed in like 2 seconds and said no more for me. As soon as Wings is over, I am going to get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, we get the grandkids after swim class and Chris promised them an Anime Store shopping spree. More Pokemon toys. Ok, laters, I am barely staying awake now.

I bought a plane ticket yesterday for my late September trip back to California. It will be my first trip back to the motherland since 2014 and I will be attending the final home series of the season vs the Rockies as well. While I will have fun, I am also going to see some of my older family members whom I am unsure of being here much longer. I also plan to visit my dad's gravesite in Sacramento as his ashes are laid alongside my grandparents. $273 for a plane ticket isn't bad, even for basic economy.

Hi! We are in Ottawa and just saw our Larks beat up the Red Blacks. Lots of our fans there so it was pretty cool. We missed the first two road games because Chris did not want to go to Edmonton or Hamilton and we gave the girls our tickets for our home opener which we won. I am loving Canadian football, it is so much fun with all the scoring and passing. Next week's game is at home, so that will be fun and then we are going to Japan for a month. Everyone is coming with us, dogs and cats get Mikki and Jill to watch them. We had to get all kinds of permits so they could go to Vermont. I know Allie will have fun, like 10 acres to run around at.

We are going to some kind of comic book festival in Tokyo and because it is close to the Boy's birthday, Chris bought him and Domi tickets and Katja, Jos, Tatianna, Andrew and Paula and Thierry and the kids are all going too. They are only going for 10 days and then we are going to Sapporo for 3 weeks for ourselves. Chris and Tatianna are doing cosplay as some characters called Nowfumi and Raftalia from some show called Shield Hero. Domi. Jos and Andrew are doing something from a show called Love is War and Katja and the Boy is going as some people from a book called Tomo is a Girl. I saw the outfit Katja is wearing and it is just a bathing suit, shorts on the bottom and a striped top. I hope it is warm or she will freeze. I can finally let out Katja's secret, she got a boob job two weeks ago and this the first time she wore something that shows a lot of skin and she got the big ones. She went from 34A to 36D and it worked for her. Jos and Chris got them for her for her birthday and now Paula is all ticked because she is bigger than Paula. It was funny because Paula is the same size but because Katja is so much thinnner, kids will do that to you, it looks bigger on her. It was funny because Tatianna looked down at her chest when Katja showed them off and asked her chest, "Really disappointing, boys" I figure she is going to beg her best buddy for boobs for Xmas.

Chris is tapping his foot waiting for me to get done. He wants dinner and it is like almost midnight and I guess Ottawa closes at midnight or something. See you later. I am hungry, too.

Watching the news and listening to more updates on the horrendous arson attack on Kyoto Animation Studios. So far, eleven dead and 35 injured at one of the greatest (if not the greatest) animation studio in Japan. We were actually planning a two day trip to Kyoto for a tour of these very same studios because they are one of the most respected and worker-friendly studios in Japan. Their animators, actors, etc are actually paid a living wage and it shows in their work. Their list of first rate artistic anime is beyond compare. We just took in their latest movie, Sound! Euphonium and it was a feast for the eyes and a first rate story. The best thing about KyoAni, as they are known in the world of anime, is that every one of their productions is either PG or PG-13. No nudity, no fan service, no swearing, just excellent stories and breathtaking artwork. Sure, some of the topics of their shows are little beyond most children (war in Violet Evergarden, racism in Beyond the Boundary or bullying in Silent Voice) but I would feel comfortable for my grandkids to watch any KyoAni show or movie. There are few studios which can offer anything similar.

Hi! Wow, a week from the last time I was here. I have been playing grandma for the last week. Since summer, Paula has been taking the little ones to the daycare at the hospital, but one of the kids there got chicken pox and because we are grandparents we get the little ones. It was mostly letting them play in the pool, learn their letters and numbers and take naps. Ok, and Chris taking them shopping on most days. Chris kind of did something stupid. On Friday, that anime store he goes to was having some kind of service for all those artists who died in that fire in Japan and some idiot was outside shouting at people that those people deserved to die because anime is porn. Well, first Tatianna slapped the guy and one other girl with them kicked him in the knee. That was when Chris got stupid and told the guy to play in traffic and some other stuff, so the loser goes to get the police. That makes me laugh because when we first got here I thought the police was the Mounties, you know Dudley Dooright. Nope, just regular policeman but nicer. So, the officers talk to the owner of the store and to the people who saw what went on and the police said they should arrest Chris for yelling at the guy. That is when Chris says he is an attorney and asks what law is on the books which makes it illegal to yell at morons, cretins and dipshits. The police officer said Chris scared the guy. So, Chris tells the police officer that the guy made him feel uncomfortable with his racist yelling. Katja and Tatianna told me this story and it was all they could do to not die laughing. The officer said those 2 should shake hands and go their separate ways. Katja says she thinks Chris crushed the guy's hand. Everyone says Chris has a strong grip and sometimes he can go too far.

I asked Tatianna how she did not get arrested and she said she is just lucky. Katja says the slap knocked the guy to his knees and I am not surprised. When she gets pissed, she seems to get real strong. The girls said the service was nice and everyone donated money to rebuild the studio and here is Chris's other stupid move. He gave the Go Fund Me thing like $30K Canadian. I think that is the second donation he made to that company. Tatianna said she heard him on the phone wire transferring money to their website or something. I am not mad but it would be nice to know when he is giving away money. I know how this works, you give someone money and then you got people calling you or knocking on your door asking for money. And most of them seem to be scammers.

I cannot wait for a week from Wednesday. We are all boarding a plane to Seattle to fly to Tokyo. The animals get to go to Mikki and Jill's for a couple weeks and then the girls get back. They only got 2 weeks vacation but they are excited. I know on the first day we are there, we are going to Kyoto where that fire happened and then like 4 days in Okinawa for playing on the beach. Ah crap, I have to stop. I promised to go play UNO with the girls and no one ever sleeps here.

Hi! I finally get to sit down and relax for like an hour. We got a call on Monday afternoon from Chris's buddy, Shota. He asked if we could fly to Kyoto the next day. We were going anyway, so I was ok but then we got the reason. Shota wanted Chris to come to Kyoto because they were going to attend a bunch of funerals over there for those artist kids who were killed in that fire. I guess Chris is the legal for their company and it is all about showing respect. As soon as we got off of the plane we were at a funeral. Different. Lots of incense burnt and these guys have no problem talking business I guess while all this is going on. Same thing yesterday and we have another one in an hour. Last night, Chris was sitting with a kid who speaks English who was writing some contracts in Japanese and Chris had like two Japanese to English law books I guess on his desk in our hotel room. Kid was really too polite. He was always telling me he was sorry to be ruining our evening. All I know is that Shota and Chris were all smiles after the first funeral, but far away from the cemetery. I have to say this, their cemeteries are so clean and the 2 we have been to have these great views of the ocean. I do not know why they were smiling but Chizuru said business will be better now. Ok, I gotta go, traffic here is the worst and even though we are near the ocean, a place a KM away is like an hour drive.

Damn, it is hot here. The last 2 days have been hot too but there was a nice breeze from the ocean. Today, no breeze and I swear I had a river running down my back to my ankles. I think I got a liter of sweat when I rung out my dress and tights. That bath when I got back to our hotel room was the greatest thing ever. I just want lunch and I sent Chris to McDonalds, lucky there is one like a block away for McWhatever they got and fries. Chizuru kept on telling me her ass was swimming in her drawers and I bust out laughing. Bad move, Mary. Never laugh out loud at a funeral. I made like I was coughing but I do not think anyone bought it. I gave Chizuru a chop to the head for getting me in trouble. No more funerals until Monday, so I am going to get in some me time tomorrow. They tell me Kyoto is like Los Angeles to New York City, so they gotta have some great shops. First off, I need to find a cute black dress that does not make me sweat. My other big mistake was wearing 6 inch spike heels today so I could be taller than any other woman there. I was but walking over uneven stones killed my ankles and knees. I know I got a couple stupid Gaijin comments because Chizuru told me I was. I do not care. Before my hair went limp and I started melting, I looked pretty damn good for an old lady.

Chris made me laugh, too. I found out that Shota was telling everyone, a bunch of people in the Japanese cartoon industry that Chris is his Jewish guy I thought that sounded racist but Chris explained that a lot of companies like this one have one American or Brit because they are like money guys or stuff like that. I did see about 20 guys who were not Japanese at these funerals. Even one spoke Portuguese. LIke Chris is like the lawyer guy for Shota and I think a money person too. The Portuguese guy, his name was Xavier, is an art director, but like he said, everyone figures he was a kid who loved cartoons, came to Japan because Daddy was rich and pays to be a big shot. At least I am getting to talk to people but I kind of got embarrassed. There was a French guy there talking to Chris and he introduces him to me and he started in on the French and I get like 2 words before he speeds up and Chizuru said I got a stupid look on my face and the French guy never even noticed I was like lost. Finally, Chris saves me by saying I only know like 6 French words. Bullshit, I know like a couple hundred, I just cannot put them together so good. I hit Chris in the ribs. Yay, a Big Mac, fries and a medium, their large, Sokenbicha, a blended tea that is so delicious. The best thing about McDonalds in Japan, the burgers look like the one's in the commercials. Not slopped all over the box or the cheese is not melted and like a pound of lettuce, no these are perfect. I was thinking he would get me a shake, but their shakes are not as thick as in Canada or the US. Chris got some kind of burger with a fried egg on it, I guess a 1/4 pounder and he got 2 of their apple pies. I love their apple pies here, they fry them with the french fries and they are soooooo good. He did bitch because this would like like $13 or $14 dollars Canadian and he said this was like 3000 yen or $30. Ok, I better get dressed. We are supposed to meet up with Shota and Chizuru around 6 out front to go to dinner at a famous Chinese restaurant. I hope it is better than the Italian place we went last night. I was burping up sauce all night long. Finished my burger and fries and seeing as how breakfast was just miso soup and an egg, I was starving. I am going to pig at dinner. Also, screw this, I am wearing pants tonight. I looked outside and the wind is coming up and I am not walking around like a penguin holding down my skirt like last night. Yeah, I forgot to put rolls of coins in the hems and paid for it. Damn wind got me and blew my dress over my head. Thank God for opaque tights. See, if you wear pants in a nice restaurant people here give you the dirty look like you are some kind of hick or something. I am almost thinking jeans and tube top would be fun but Chris's head would blow up, Mr Suit and tie everywhere. I bettter stop, he is giving me the get my ass ready look. Bye

Happy Birthday, Kentucky. We celebrated Chris's birthday almost 2 days ago, kind of. It ls almost midnight here and will be Sunday, but we all forgot his birthday until like this morning. He was ok with it. Because it was not the 26th until, oh fuck it, I am messed up on time changes. We ended up at a fantastic Mexican restaurant for his birthday. Really, good Mexican food. I had forgot just how good Mexican food is when it is not out of a can or is Taco Bell. We have crap for Mexican food in Montreal and you have go to like New York City for anything good. He did not get any birthday gifts, but I told him I have a bunch of stuff back home when we get back.

Wow, I am doing pretty good even though I drank half a bottle of Suntory Whiskey. But that was like 4 hours ago. We got stuff to do tomorrow so I am going to sleep. Church, get some more shopping done and tomorrow is another funeral and then we are done with them and maybe I can go to a beach or something.

Oh yeah, Chris turned 63 the other day. I am back to 13 years younger than him or one teenager. Got to go to the beach today and it was great until a lightning strike in the ocean. Chris made me laugh, time to go was the only thing he said as he yanked the towel out from under my ass. Lucky I was about done on both sides. Got some killer tanlines and my tattoos got a few questions. I notice more of the local girls have one or two small tattoos so it is not a big deal, but I have 13, you can see, and two really nice girls who's English is better than mine asked me about them so that made time fly pretty good. They both had killer tans and blonde hair. Chris called them Gals because of the blonde hair and super tans. He said he has even see some with blue contact lens.

Also got a lesson in Chris's do as I say and we are not in Rome. I was thinking of some super skimpy bathing suit this morning and Chris said no to that. He said it is not like Okinawa where they love Yankee tourists and their money. Here, if you are gaijin, you go conservative or they think you are some kind of tramp. Now, the funny part, I see all these Japanese girls wearing bathing suits I would be too shy to wear. It seemed like half of the girls had most of their asses hanging out and I saw more crack than back when my son and his friends would use our pool back in high school. Reminds me, Boy needs suspenders or a good belt. The last time he visited us, every time he bent over you either saw ugly ass boxer shorts or ugly ass.

Got some shorts and a tank top on and looked out the window and it is pouring outside even though it is steamy hot. Oh cool, thunder and lightning. This is funny, we can see the ocean from our hotel but there are people walking around in this monsoon like it is nothing. I hope it stops raining, we spotted a ramen place on the way back from the beach and that sounds really good. Thanks, Chris, for runing my next few days. He says it will be thunder and lightning for the next 4 days including tomorrow. Another funeral and it will be almost 100 and raining. I asked him what the weather will be like in Okinawa, he said more thunder and lightning. How about Tokyo, 3 days of thunder and lightning, so Tuesday morning we are going to Tokyo. At least I know they have good air conditioning. We got fans here but you gotta run the A/C at like super high from 6 in the morning to about 9 at night by then there is ice forming on the curtains and my nose. Then you can open a window if you do not mind the sounds of traffic. I do not. Chris got me a bento box for lunch. So good. Rice, sushi, fried prawns, little hots shaped into monsters, veggies and fried tofu. It is like little portions but you get filled up. He also got me some ramune. I love the sodas but I get mad at that little glass ball because I always get it stuck in the hole. Oh cool, Chris found a Korean soap opera. I do not understand a word but you can figure out the story just from the looks on the faces. Sorry, time to watch some steamy tv.

Hi, late at night here. We got here in Tokyo early this morning. I love the Bullet Train, so comfortable and it was like no time before we were here. I also love our hotel. we had a driver waiting for us and we got to see the new stadium for the Olympics and yes, we are going. We are actually renting an apartment for the month. I guess it is like BNB or something like that, but Chris found us a nice apartment not far from Akihibara and close to some of the events. I think I am going to bring a Canadian and US flag just because I can do that.

After we unpacked, we decided to walk around and see what's new. Like every time we are here and we walk around, Chris gets asked if he plays basketball. He thinks it is funny because he is 63 now and I cannot remember the last time him and Katja played basketball. That is the best about Japan, you can walk down streets and you never have to worry about someone hassling you. You do that in New York and you always bump into some guy or girl who has a screw loose and wants to fight or yell. Had to have ramen for lunch and we found a place that had a huge line and because we had nothing else to do, we got in line behind these German tourists. They were funny. This was their first time in Japan and they were trying to see everything. I told them, we have been here a lot and we are not even close to seeing everything. The best part is when we got into the place, all the people working there knew some English. It makes it easier to get water or extra garlic or something, but it was one of those places where you come up to a board full of buttons with pictures of food on it and you push a button for a token and when you have all the stuff you want in your bowl, you give it to the girl who hands them to the cook. I got mine with green onions, a pork cutlet, shrimp and extra garlic. Oh man, so good. I even drank all the broth, which is kind of hardcore here. Chris got his with the pork, green onions, peppers, tofu and lots of garlic, too. He also got rice for his extra broth so he did not waste anything. Lucky we always bring gum because garlic breath is kind of nasty.

We ended up walking all over the place and by dinnertime we were near a little Szechuan restaurant and loved the smell. Oh wow, it was so good but my tongue is still on fire. We had a bit of everything it seemed and most everything was spicy but so freaking good. We are going to take everyone here when they show up. We had to get a taxi back to the hotel because our feet were killing us and I ate too much. The bad part is that we bought nothing except for food. Tomorrow, we are doing some shopping. I already have a driver hired for a shopping expedition to Yokohama, they have something like our outlet malls there and I am jazzed to see if I can find some bargains and Chris is going to see his Vietnamese buddies and probably spend stupid money. I think it is time for some sleep while Chris is watching some cartoons. Laters.
