Fruit for breakfast?
There's more. I made avocado toast for you.
No butter and jam?
Just taste it.
Ugh... Hmm... It's not bad. I'm still hungry.
Here's some spinach salad.
Raw spinach?
I'd like to stick to healthier food choices for breakfast.
This is going to take some getting used to.
You'll thank me for it later.
Maybe, maybe not.

Wow! That was heated.
Very cold salad, too.
Yes.
But, you know, that would take some getting used to if you like jam and butter on your toast.
Yeah.
Or warm pancakes.
Oh!
Is that what you have for breakfast?
Sometimes.
I have avocado toast sometimes.
Oh, you do?
You do too.
I really like it.
Wow, that makes two of us or three of us. I like to have avocado toast with "furikake" on top of it.
Oh.
My goodness.
It's a Hawaiian style, say, everything with "furikake."
Really?
I'll have to try that.
Yeah, you should.
Although it might take some getting used to.
I'm sure it might. I hope you enjoy it.

And keep on devouring avocado ... No. Just keep on smiling.

I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I don't have time to exercise anymore.
(rut = わだち、決まりきった型、ワンパターン、マンネリ a situation that is boring and difficult to change)
Me, either. I'm too tired after work to work out.
Oh! Here's an idea. Let's make it a habit to exercise before work.
Oh, that'd be a big challenge for me.
You can do it! Meet me at the park at five tomorrow morning.
How about 4:30?
Okay. Wear your walking shoes.
I'll wear my running shoes.
Either or... Just be there.

Christa! You're early!
Doesn't the party start at eight?
Yes, but I've always known you to show up fashionably late, so to speak.
(fashionably late = late [5 minutes or so] to give the impression that you are a busy, popular person that was held up with other business.)

I've changed my ways, Brad.
Really? How did you do that?
I got a planner. It changed my life.

It's true. I can only stay until 8:15. I have three more parties to attend tonight.

Three more parties. I would need a planner too.
Here's a quick question. Do you use a planner?
Yes, I do.
All right. Jeff?
I do too but I've changed my ways. It's now on my smartphone.
Oh.
Goodness! Yeah. I need to change my ways because I use a pen.
Oh.
This is the pen I use, you know.

Jamie, stop playing games on your phone.
Whatever.
We're spending less and less time talking to each other.
Whatever.
Everyone is glued to their phones.
Whatever.
You've got a point. Let's make it a rule to turn off our phones during meals.
Fine with me. Pass the soy sauce, please.
How about listening to Rajiei while eating?
