New Nickname

I got a new nickname this week: はれ女

Hareonna (or “sunshine woman”) is a person who brings nice weather with them wherever they go.

I think the name was meant in the literal sense (not a symbolic one?) since the weather is getting brighter outside and I have had amazinly good luck with the weather on race weekends, but I think it’s kind of cute that my coworkers have started to use it...

It seems it’s getting sunnier everywhere right now, so hope some of those rays are hitting you, too! I, for one, am getting very ready for spring!
