Saturday, and some thought

katriona_sAfter a busy and rather exhausting week, yesterday (Saturday) I visited my friend's house in Tokyo with another friend, we 3 have enjoyed nice homemade food (not by me! XD), drinking (mostly tea in my case but my friends enjoyed wine - I think they have drunk at least 3 bottles.) and talking. It's good to spend a day with friends, relaxing and talking. But it's not just enjoyable. One of my friends has been fired from the office she had worked for about 1 year. She couldn't complain because she was hired as a temporary staff then, and she soon found another job. Though it's not as good as the one she'd lost, and she has had good relationship with co-workers in the former office so she feels very sad to lose it. We are all single so the human relations in the office can mean more for us than for the workers who have their own family. Another friend there also has much trouble in her job, and both of them were rather drunken so they complained much about the unreasonableness in the offices.
We are just in the age when women begin to feel various physical disorder, our parents are now old, and generally, the society is not kind to middle aged women. Many of my friends(women friends, I mean) have problems about their health or their families, in their job and human-relation in the office, sometimes rather serious financial problem. As for me, now I have some physical disorders but not serious, my mother is still healthy for her age and I have quite decent relationship with her and with my sister living with her husband and children in Tokyo, I have a not bad job with moderate salary, my own house and some (not much, still!) savings. So I think myself quite fortunate and am thankful for it often. And to me, sometimes it could be a bit awkward to being with the friends who are not as "lucky" as I. I can do nothing for them, though at least I can listen to what they are whining and hope we all would have better days in the future...
At home, my new rabbit Tako is now accustomed to her new territory, looks more relaxed.

Also our familiar homeless cats still visit us very often. TOday it's raining and some of them are relaxing on our wooden terrace, taking shelter from the rain.
(A grooming cat XD)
Yes I'm a lucky one, and thankful for this peaceful days.
