nightcrossedWell, that wasn't so bad. I could have done without sweeping, but learning the proper way to prepare tea was interesting enough. I never knew it was such a complicated process or that I had been doing it completely wrong all this time. It's a little embarrassing... I guess I'm not very graceful...
[Tear conveniently leaves out the part about her shoulders, arms, and fingers being stiff from working all day. You might not want to touch her. (You probably shouldn't either way.)]
I've been thinking on things again. It seems like some of the residents are trying to make a new life on this island and others are clinging to the past they can't remember...
What do I want to do? There doesn't seem to be a right or best decision.
Do I want to search for yesterday's me?
Or do I want to simply start over?
Or do I want to incorporate aspects of both of those people?
The problem is not knowing who I was or what I did. There's the possibility that I won't even approve of her (ie. the person I was) after meeting new people and experiencing different things here. At the same time, however, I don't think I can abandon her. Not only is she directly related to the person I am now (...I mean, she must be, logically speaking...), but there's also the fact that I will inevitably remember who she was and what was important to her. As for both? I don't know. I have no desire to contradict myself and I feel that's entirely possible. Then again, I've probably said hypocritical things already.
I have to wonder if people are waiting for me back home. I keep dreaming about Van. What would my brother be doing if he was in my situation, and has he even noticed my disappearance? (Do we even disappear?)
There's not much point in worrying about it, but it's difficult to ignore questions like this.
Anyway.
Mokona suggested that I try a fruit dish next. I was leaning towards pineapples or strawberries since I experimented with apples last time. Does anyone remember any of their favorite dishes from home?
Also, it seems like a family of birds have made a nest in one of the hanging baskets outside the cafe. They're really lively and seem to be singing all the time. I think the eggs will probably hatch soon. (I'm no expert, but...) Please be mindful of them if you visit the cafe, since I don't want them to abandon their eggs.I bet the chicks will be really fluffy and adorable. <3

I think they're meant to be used from a distance. I'm not really sure about the staff, however.
...
...
[Yeah, she's not going to admit her epic failure.]
...But I did notice that the staff was in good condition. It didn't have many knicks or scratches on it. Perhaps I didn't use it very much.
((Or maybe she's a spellcaster and didn't hit many things with the staff directly...))

I might try training again after work. I'd been using the time to look up more recipes, but I think I have plenty for the time being.
Not for a few days, though...
[Yeah, she's not up to it yet.]
