This weekend, we went to KFC and we went to McDonald’s. At KFC we had chicken. At McDonald's we had TSUKIMI-pie. Do you know it?

Good morning 0927

 

My cholesterol value does not change, keep high score. So I don’t take medicine yet. The doctors said “ you might gain weight three kg more, but don’t need fat, need more muscle “

I said “it is easy to gain weight with fat, but it is “ impossible “ to do with  muscle”. He laughed.

I went to the gym in the afternoon.

Today, I hold our laughter yoga meeting. Then in the afternoon I go to seee the dentist. So today I will “skip” to go to the gym. 

Can you get fat within”only “ muscle? (Does it make sense?)

Good morning 0926

 

This picture was taken on Tuesday. Today I go to the clinic and take blood check. What is my cholesterol level? Is it getting higher?

Anyway without breakfast I will leave home in 30 minutes.

Good morning 0925

 

It got really cool. Today’s my mission is going to the gym. I haven't gone to the gym for this two weeks. Additionally the first month of this year I went to the gym in a row. So if I  go to the gym the rest of this week, I will reach my target number of going to the gym  of this month. 

Of course Yuki goes playing tennis , today. It is the good season for outdoor sports, including walking exercise. 

Good morning 0924

 

The three-day weekend was over. Today’s our mission is going to the Legal Affairs Bureau in this prefecture. (It is the first time to use this big Englsih word, and probably in Japanese.) A small trouble has occurred on Yuki’s brothers.

Then I  go take my new glasses at the mall.

It seems to be a long day. 

Of course we will have lunch outside. It is our today’s pleasure.

Additionally it got suddenly cold. Our heater in the dining room is “on”.

It is Monday, but it is a holiday in Japan.

We have no plan, we will stay home lazily. Probably we will visit a nearby shrine.

Yesterday Yuki became 65 years old. Last year he was in hopsital. We are really happy that we are together. We had good SASHIMI. 

Today we will have the small stake for our lunch.

Yesterday it got suddenly cold. So I finally changaed the summer clothes in my closet into autumn's clothes. I was going to put some summer clothes away, but I could do one. Additionally I could discard some pairs of socks.

It was really difficult for us to live with minimum things.

Oh, I forgot to say that. Yesterday Yuki trimed trees. It got cooler, so I will resume weeding little by little. 

Good morning 0920

 

Though it is still cloudy, it will become sunny and a hot day according to the weather forecast. Yesterday during  getting CBT , I got an advise. I usually write down my negative sites and try to see the big picture from the positive sites.

But when I see the report again, I tend to focus on negative reports.(it is one way of CBT)

So the doctor says “how about trying to write down only happy things, and filling up with them on your notebook “. 

It sounds good. Well where do I complain?

Ok, I complain on this blog in my poor English. Are you all right?

When I try to write something in English, I need to think it again how to write and what I want to really write. 

Good morning 0919

 

It is raining. Today we go to Costco. It means it is the day I take CBT.

Yesterday  a former student came to my house and borrowed some English books. I was really happy.  She borrowed English cooking  mainly. She remembered some dishes once we cooked together in our lessons.

In one and a half hour we will leave home. 

Good morning 0918

 Yesteray’s moon was called “ chusyu no meigetsu”. It means mid-autumn harvest moon. Sometime  the moon gets a full moon on the day. It happened last year. This year,  today the moon gets a full moon. The photo was sent from Yuki’s friend. Every year Yuki also took the photos of moons. But finally his camera was taken by our elder daughter. It was difficult to take the photo of the moon by iPhone.

On the day of mid-autumn harvest moon we have a custom to eat sweet dumplings.  I was going to buy some. But fortunately or unfortunately yesterday we got lots of donuts. So I didn’t buy the dumplings. 

Good morning 0917

 

Yesterday a friend visited us with figs. It was the first time for us to have figs.

Finally it is getting cooler, though it is still hot. I have still a trouble of my dizziness, I manage to control it. It is funny that I am not feeling well physically and mentally without severe illness, on the other hand Yuki keeps in good shape with no symptoms. Some of his tennis mates have some troubles on their backs, knees, or elbows. Additionally some of my gym mates have also some trouble on their back, knees, and shoulders. When I feel such pains, I take acupuncture immediately as soon as possible. 

Today two pairs of a mother and her kids will visit my home library.

 This month Yuki could take his immunotherapy again. We were really happy.

Probably next month, it will be the last treatment. After that we will talk with the doctor about the nest steps.

What are the ways to prevent its recurrence? It might be difficult.

On the other hand for a while he has to face to his pneumonia,though luckily he has no sympoms. It is controlled by steroid. However it is a good thing to be controlled.

This week two visiters are going to come to my home library.  I try to forcous on happy things!

On the day we are at hospital. It was a really long day. I took onigiri (rice ball) for my snack.

Good morning 0913

 

Yesterday, we had a call from our lawyer. So we went to see him. The last document was sent from my brother. I think it is the last work about my mother’s inheritance.  In my case I was in deficit, because I asked  the lawyer the procedure. However thanks of the lawyer I could avoid to talk with my younger brother. It is a sad thing for me. I did’t want to break up our relationship, though it can’t be helped.

Before visiting the lawyer  Yuki and I had a coffee break at a cafe. Unusually Yuki  said “ this iced coffee is tasty.” It means he understood what a cheap bottled ice coffee  he drinks at home. (I seldom drink iced coffee)

Well, today it is the day we go to the hospital. Yuki’s condition is good, so probably he will be able to take immunotherapy today. 

Good morning 0912

 

Yesterday, instead of the  visitors who were interested in my home library, Ms.M  who lives next door,  came. We made “shiso “ juice here. When I was cutting shiso leaves which grew too much, she talked to me. So we decided to make shiso juice  together.

In the afternoon I was almost taking a nap. I think now it is my charge time, so I accept myself who doesn’t do anything .

Good morning 0911

 

I finished my performance with my friend. This time we had much audience. We were very happy.

Today a mother was going to come her kids to my home library. So I have no schedule. Do I go to the gym? I stay home quietly without exercise. I will do yoga.

Once I got ill, I started feeling depressed sassily.

Can!t something done about this depressed feeling, though I take medicine?

I will make youtube of yesterday’s performance. I have some things I do today. 

Yuki has already gone to play golf. 

Good morning 0910

 

I suffer from summer fatigue. I had lightheadedness badly, so that I was taken to the clinic. I took the medicine, and was asleep yesterday. 

Today I am not so bad. Anyway in the afternoon I am going to karaku cafe to play the  piano. Yuki is going to take me there. Anyway  he is with me now. I depend on him simply. (I won’t think about our near future.)

Our elder daughter is busy in preparing for traveling to Senegal. She is going to make something there for one month. An art gallery supports her and Japanese Embassy in Senegal helps her. This is kind of  culture exchange project. 

Every member in my family do their best each day. I should do what I can do.

Recently I often make eggplant comport. Have you made it?

A new week has started. This week we should go to the hospital.

Good morning 0906

 

It is the last wee day of this week. This eeek seems to pass faster than usual. Probably the reason was that we were outside on a Wednesday all the day. 

Today I will go to the library in the morning. I was asked to tear apart a kimono from my friend.  So luckily I have a thing what I should do while watching TV. 

Though I have some things I will try every day, but it is not necessary things. So I tend to skip —- like going to the gym, practicing the piano, studying English, making haiku, and so on.

It seems to be hot. Anyway we do what we can do today. 

Good morning 0905

 

It is sunny, and probably it will be hot. Yesterday, Yuki went to play tennis and came back earlier than usual. I went to the gym and one circuit exercise. Then we went to the concert at noon at the city hall. It was free, but it was wonderful. We listened to the music by Japanese instruments for the fast time in a long time. 

This concert was about 15 years old. This time we went to see their concert.

Good morning 0904

 

It seems that the scorching heat has gone, though it is still hot. We sleep without air conditioner  at night. I am thinking about going to the city hall to listen to a 40 minute free concert  at noon alone. It means I am thinking about skipping the gym. If it had been rainy we would go to the concert.

Anyway what I should do the first is going to the gym. After I come back to the gym I will think about to go to the concert. 

Good morning 0903

The Disaster Prevention day is on September 1. Many people (probably) do something.  Actually at school, or at office disaster drill exercises are hold. 

We check our emergency kits. Some emergency foods are near the expiration days. So last night we had boil-in-the-bag curry. And I ordered new ones on net.

I also drew up voluntary picture cards of this moth. I take them to the community center today “before going to the gym.

This weekend "I" stayed home because of the typhoon. But fortunately we didn't have any big troubles. Yuki could join the live stage in KUROISO which is the next next city.

I decided to stay home during the typhoo. So I took the courage to open ZOOM meeting at my English Picture club HP in the afternoon.

I thought no one would come. Becayse I have a few customes of the HP. Than I expected everytime someone came. Two were my old friends, And the other two were new people who sometimes drop by the HP. 

They are intereseted in my home library, so probably they will come to my home library and  look at my collection directly.

Keeping my home library is not a business. It is one of my way to keep coneection with society. It was a really happy weekend.
