tonight. 1st ever outing with my 2 young #friends from work, at last. dinner at #thai-ish(?) restaurant where i had a good (smooth) rice dish in tea — #ochazuke, then we moved on to a new #chinesedessert place around the corner. excited to see them again & it's as if not much time had passed since we last saw each other. i somehow must've expected more talks of work but it turned out we were sharing many of our personal stories and worries, and we laughed (and cried a little). 2 #special people.
