Angelique arrived home from her third day of midterms and a study session and dinner out. Keiko Kashigawa waits patiently and quietly for her the whole day, and then starts barking happily when she arrives.

Didn't snack at M.'s cafe tonight. Too many customers near my favorite seat. Snacked, instead, in the kitchen, then had a Cubao cocktail--a finger measure of brandy mixed with sangria. It not only makes me sleep well, it cleanses me the following morning.
