Janelle Fuji eats breakfast in her dining room, fueling up for a long day ahead with the a bowl of oatmeal. 

Fuji begins her long day of chores around the household. She begins by tackling her least favorite task: laundry.

The day's work has yet to be finished. After all the day's chores and work Fuji still has to prepare dinner, tonight it's scrambled eggs, for her daughter, Alyssa Fuji. 

Kindly, Janelle Fuji helps her daughter by removing all of her sticky notes from this semester's IB Senior English course at Tualatin High School. This must be done so that her daughter can return her books to the library and graduate in a few days. 

At about 9 P.M. Fuji is finally able to relax for the evening. Fuji diligently crochets a row of her afghan every night. She is making the afghan with her daughter's favorite colors. She makes it with the purpose of sending it with her daughter when she leaves for college at the University of California, Berkeley this fall. 

Ready for bed after a long day of chores and errands Fuji relaxes in bed, trying to make herself tired, with a good book and her bedtime companion, Sumi [dog]. Fuji recently rediscovered her love of reading while looking for relaxing and effortless activities to occupy herself with during chemotherapy. 

Relaxed and sleepy from her book, Fuji calls it a day and falls asleep satisfied by a hard day's work around her Tualatin home.
