Since my little child gives me a hectic life, my new year’s holidays (12/29-1/3) were completely gone. Because my husband had a very tight schedule for his illustration job and he could not spend time to take care of Chihiro, I took her to my parents house, which is 10 minutes walk from my apartment, for 4 days. My parents were so pleased to baby-sit her. They were no Osechi (special meal for new year holidays,) no new year TV shows holidays. (The only movie that I watched on TV was “Invasion of Astro Monster.”
