Today my friend Mrs. Ochiai came to help me out with my computer. Over the years Mrs. Ochiai has given me advice about my computer, come to my rescue when I am digitally confused and installed software for me. She is the friend who got me started on blogging in the first place! Today she gave me a lesson in making a Christmas/New Year's card with some software that I had forgotten how to use. Throughout the 5 hours that she was here I think that Mrs. Ochiai was tactfully trying to tell me that this computer is so old and slow and out-dated that I should just break-down and buy a new computer. That alone would solve a lot of my problems... but I'm not ready to do that yet so I have to ask her to figure out some way to make my slightly obsolete computer do some things that are really supposed to be easy to accomplish. Anyway, thanks to Mrs. Ochiai who reconnected me to MSN, hopefully I'll be able to get in contact with Takumi again. I also hope to make my cards this weekend before I forget all she told me today!
Although we had a very nice time, one minor problem is that Mrs. Ochiai doesn't like cats! (She likes dogs though.) Of course she knows I have four cats yet she willingly steps into my cat filled house to help me. If only the cats would just leave her alone! But no, they seem to be not the least bit insulted of Mrs. Ochiai's aversion to them and would suddenly jump up on the computer desk or even dare to leap onto her lap. We finally had to lock them out of the room which meant we played with the computer in the cold. I'm sure Mrs. Ochiai was exhausted just from protecting herself from my cats all day! (If you look carefully you can see all four of them sitting together in that chair!)Thank you Mrs. Ochiai!

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blog each day. It's fun taking a peak into your life and seeing that we are all so much alike no matter which part of the world we live in!
Hope you get your computer to last a few more years! LOL...I finally broke down and replaced mine this month. I really love how fast the new one is ... didn't know how slow the old one was until I got the new one.
Aren't they adorable! I love cats as does my mom and when I was little we had two that lived with us. My mother had employed a piano teacher to teach me with private lessons. The piano teacher had a great disliking to cats and one day during my very strict piano lesson one of the cats (Smokey) decided to do a duet with me and walked down the keys. The teacher was furious and quit on the spot! My mother didn't mind...she was going to fire her anyway! LOL
I don't like cats either, mostly because I am allergic to them. And yes I am the one person whose attention they want. I am told this is because I am the least threatening of the group, but it is irritating nonetheless.
isn't it amazing how cats seem to gravitate toward those that like them the least? :-) Glad you were able to spend time with a friend and get the computer to do what you wanted again though...
Mrs. Ochiai is a good friend.......
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!to you in Japan.
Hugs
ciao ciao
Mrs Ochiai is a good friend to brave your cats. Aren't cats funny. Gom says he doesnt like cats, but they always come to sit on his lap or smooch around his legs.
So sweet of your friend to help you out. LOVE the pic of all the kitties in one chair - so sweet.
Oh man! That is just the best picture of all four of your cats huddled together in that chair. So sweeet and adorable! Just makes me want to cuddle with them.
