It was overcast today. After school, I headed to Vivian’s vocal class. I made such big progress that both Vivian and Jane praised me repeatedly, saying my attitude had changed significantly in just a year. MeeMaw and Mom were so happy and proud that they bought me lots of snacks and a big Dorayaki– a famous Japanese treat made of two pancakes with cream in between. Back at home, Dad was exhausted and aching all over from physical training at the gym. It was funny seeing him hobble around the house! I wish he could lose some weight eventually, but he’s still gaining. He’ll need to put in more effort.
