@mizunocaitlin I can never get a good score due to a genetic condition and an autoimmune disease. I can have a great score on everything, but because of the treatment I get marked as a D or E 🤷‍♀️

Oh, and I got marked down as obese/the hip-to-waist ratio while pregnant🙄

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@ohazassu Oh no! That multiplies the possible answers 😅

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

Okie, so my MCAS experiment worked the way I kind of didn't want it to 😓

Going to bring up the results to my doctor at my next visit because Rx treatment will be much cheaper than OTC treatment 😭

Working on typing up a blog for my Life in Japan with Lady Caladium page. I haven't updated it in some time, but because what I want to write doesn't really fit with my Emi in Fukui blog, I decided I would publish it on the old site.

I'm not really sure what to do going forward with the blog stuff because I don't want to lose my old posts but it seems weird to have two different blogs going. While I enjoy blogging,

I'm also not exactly sure I should stick with my current hosting site. Maybe this is an issue on all sites, but I find it frustrating how a post or page will be formatted the way I want when I create it using my laptop, but it will look different (weird spacing or breaks, text or photos in a different place, etc.) when I look at it on my phone.

Anyway, the post isn't up yet, but feel free to take a look at my old blog (and yes, I also need to start posting on my new blog...).

@bunburyoudoujp Congratulations! Nice job!

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@dadsweb67 Impressive! Congratulations!

I need to get on one of those 😓

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@bunburyoudoujp Gifu is beautiful. Good luck!

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@RaraSensei But people were being vicious in the comments…any video or post I see about it the comment section is horrid!

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@RaraSensei I meant if he was never issued a 5 year or 3 year visa…I’ve been here 13 years and have only had one 5 year visa (before I had enough time to apply for PR), then onto a series of 1 yr visas because I moved prefectures.

You can also check all the boxes but not be approved, so 🤷‍♀️

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@davidrmunson @TheStarLi It’s at the point where if they want to see me, they have to come here…

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@bunburyoudoujp others.

Following one’s religion is also fine as long as you aren’t restricting others. For example, as a Catholic there are fasting days or days where meat isn’t consumed. That doesn’t mean everyone else has to follow those restrictions 🤷‍♀️ Religion on a personal level…

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@bunburyoudoujp My view is if someone asks me about religion/my religious views, that discussion is fine. Sharing religious views when asked on a small scale is nice and often leads to discussion on similarities and differences. But I think that is very different than imposing one’s religion on

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@ohazassu Okay, that’s what’s going on…was driving and my phone started going off 👀

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

I was playing around on my TikTok…

@KevinEspiritu Yep, I live in Fukui…been watching your videos for a few years now and when I saw this post come up I was like “wait a minute…”

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@KevinEspiritu Ah! Nice! I was down in Miyazu earlier this spring. Enjoy Kyoto!

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@RaraSensei @themoderntimes_ Yes, consistency throughout the document is important in my opinion.

[Emily/エミリー @EAMahon]

@RaraSensei Noooo!
