Recent days

Now there are two members in the house.

Last week, there was only one in the house, it was me.

My husband went to America on business.

I thought I would go to TOKYO where my mother and my daughters lived.

But fortunately (or unfortunately) I have a job.

And the last week I went to a nearby school all day as a volunteer teacher twice, and I went to TOKYO on my job.

In the daytime I was surrounded with lots of kids and in the evening I talked with adults teachers or friends).

But at night I had dinner alone, a little bit sad I was.

Probably it was the first to time to spend one week alone since "I was born".

I haven't lived alone. Until I married with my husband I lived with my mother and my brothers.(My father passed away when I was 20.)

Sometimes my husband went somewhere on business, until last year I was with my daughter.

(Until we had a baby, probably my friend came to stay with me in such a case.)

Living alone is really hard, I think.

Well,

these days my younger daughter makes lunchbox eagerly.

She sent a photo.

Now she was 19. When she was a high school student, it took more than one hour to peel three potatoes.

I asked my husband to small articles to my students. He bought them.

It is a good opportunity for my students to learn American history.

And February is just around the corner. I'm going to make something as a Valentine craft.

The craft is -- making felt balls. Do you know how to do that?

And it means January is going away.

This is the last sweets I got in the New Year's vacation. It is a Chinese sweet, the name is Spring rice cake".
