Full moon

Today it is the day of full moon, though we can't see the moon yet at 8 PM.

Do you have a custom to enjoy the full moon?

We have it, we decorate horse grass and have sweet dumplings.

 

So we get some horse grass at a super market nearby for free, and got two big dumplings.

Today Yuki came back early to have dinner with M and me, it's an unusual thing.

So I prepared Japanese dishes and Italian? dishes which are loved by M and Yuki.

 

 

Yuki got mussel's ???? " Mejillones Fritos en Escabeche con Aceite de Oliva" ( we don't understand it), anyway it's canned food. It was his today's special.
M really wants to eat garlic, so we made shrimp "ajillo".
For two things, good French bread was necessarily, so we got one at a good baker which is a little bit far from our house.

I hope we would see the full moon clearly.

September has come

Our daughter and Akari are staying with us. They are going to go back to TOKYO on September 20. There are only 20 days for us to spend with our daughter and Akari.
Of course I love Akari. But what I feel  is  that it is the time for my daughter M to leave us truly. I have a strange feeling. Our elder daughter seems to have left home naturally, though she still lives next to my mother's house. On the other hand in T's case we seem not to have decided to let her leave from this house. When she went to TOKYO to study, she lived with her sister, and after she decided to marry, she started to live with her husband. So she has no experience to live alone.
For these three months we are talking lots and we each other seem to decide to go each way.

Last weekend, M's husband came to stay with us. So I grilled chicken. Recently when we have guests, we usually go out to eat dinner, but now we can't. So I cooked.

 

M seems to have own relax time these days. So she sometimes make crafts.

She drew a picture book for Akari.
She made simple mobiles.

 





Do you know how to measure the amount of breast-milk?

Akari is almost breast-feeding.
But, M  worried whether her breast-milk was enough or not.
So I took her to the hospital to measure the amount of he beat-milk.

Do you know the way?
To tell the result, though 25 years passed since M was born, the way doesn't change.

A midwife of the hospital said "Come here with Akari before one and half hours  you want to give  you breast-milk to he".

And ---
First the midwife measured the weight of Akari.
Then M gave her breast-milk to Akari.
And as she finished doing it, the midwife measured the weight of Akari again.

What a --primitive or simple way it was!!!!

Anyway the amount of her breast-milk is enough. So she can almost breast-feed, though sometimes she bottle-feeds her. (And Yuki, I, or M's husband sometimes can do it.)

Now Akari is almost one-month old.
She can hold up her head little by little.

So when she is in a good mood, we try to read books.

As soon as we start to read, she starts to yawn.

And when we move on to the next book, she falls asleep.

OBON

This week many people have one-week vacation, or 3-day vacation in Japan, it is OBON.
Yuki got one-week vacation. And M's husband got also one-week vacation. And our elder daughter T got 3-day vacation.
So during OBON in my house  there were 5 adults and one baby for three days.

 

Yuki got a good excuse to drink some kinds of alcohol. He usually drinks SHOUCYU to save household costs. Our elder daughter T drinks red wine a little. Our younger daughter is allowed to drink white wine a little. (I don't know who allowed he to drink alcohol.) Our son-in-law loves whiskey. And Yuki believes beer is necessary to welcome men. So Yuki was allowed to buy various alcohol, and drinks all of them.

 

When our mothers come to stay with us, we usually have dinner outside, but this time we don't go out.

So I cooked meat on a big pan (we call it HOTPLATE), and another day I was allowed by myself to buy some things at a restaurant and take out to our house. Most of the dishes in the photo are made by a popular French restaurant in Utsunomiya.(I made some of them.)

 

It's fun to eat with many people. We had a good OBON vacation.

 

Now Akari is sleeping on my lap. Our daughter and our grand child are staying with us for a while.

a day of Grandmother

Since Akari was born, two weeks passed. She is getting a "baby", it means she has lots of things to do.
I got up 6 o'clock, and cooked breakfast quickly, took out the garbage and so on, while doing the laundry (though I just tuned on the washing machine.)
Yuki got up about about 7o'clok, and we had breakfast. Unfortunately M had to give breast-milk to AKARI. After we finished breakfast, M started having breakfast. At that time I held AKARI and burped her. She is not so good at burping, so we need to burp her often. Though she burps as soon as she drinks milk, it's not enough. After 30 or 40 minutes she starts crying to be difficulty in her breathing.  So we need to burp her again.
And when she seemed to settle down, suddenly we heard a big sound. She pooped. So M changed her diaper.
While M was taking care of her, I started doing the dishes, cleaning the rooms. Watering the garden  was Yuki's job before he went to work.

When Akari finally settled down and went into sleep, M and I made some dishes.

Well, well, Akari got up, so M was busy again. I? --- I opened this computer and did some paperwork.
Around 12, we had lunch together.
Today M's friend came to see Akarai, so I went to gym for my workout.(This week someone comes to see her in the afternoon.When my friend comes, I talk with her and M took a nap.)

 

Around 3 o'clock , it is the time for Akari's bating.

And She drank milk, was burped, pooped and went to sleep.

M took a nap, I started to prepare dinner.

Around 6 o'clock, we had dinner.

And it's time for Akari, again. When M was taking care of AKARI, I was doing the dishes. Then I was holding Akari when M was taking a bath.

 

My grandmother's job was done.

This week I don't have lessons at night, so I seem to have enough time to do something at night, but I'm too tired to do something. I go to bed earlier than usual.

 

See you tomorrow.

 

 

Akari's bathing

In Japan, after babies appears, until they become about 2 or three months, they take a bath in a baby bath. Then they take a bath in a usual bathtub with an adult.

 

Usually they don't take a shower.



I have a question. When do babies start to take a shower in your country?

Akari is fine and active. She drinks mother's milk and bottle milk very well, sometimes cries, and often poops. (While I'm writing this blog, I heard poot. I have to change her diaper.  I did it.)

She wants milk about each 2 or 2 and half hours. After that it takes 30 or 40 minutes to belch after drinking. And after 30 minutes she poops and she wants some milk again.
After that she sleeps well for a while.

We are not so busy, but we feel rushed.

Akari's case -2-

M, and Akari sleep on the second floor at night, and in the daytime they spend in the living room on  the first floor. In this case Akari sleeps in this cradle. I know it's called bouncer & cradle. In my time we didn't have one.

 

 "  Is it Japanese tradition for the new mother and baby to stay that long before and after the birth?  And, they want to know why?  Here, unless there are other small children already in the family that require care or there is surgery or other complications (such as compulsory bed rest before the delivery), it would be very rare to stay for that length of time...and usually the mother or mother-in-law would be at their home."

 

 Here in Japan, mothers stay in the hospital usually for from four days to one week.

And after that they go back  ---- it depends on the situation, to their home or their mother's home or their mother-in-law's home.

 

Anyway not so many husband take days-off to take care their babies. so mothers need someone to help themselves.

When they go back their home, usually their mother or their-mother-in-law stay for two weeks.

It is said it takes at least two weeks for mother's bodies to recover.

When they go back their mother's house or their mother-in-law house, and they had birth at a different hospital from a hospital they had gone to health check during their babies had been in their bellies, they stay there at least for one month. Because they have to go to the hospital where they had birth in one month after they had birth.

So my daughter will stay with us at least during August.

 

" Second question was about you paying for the delivery.  Is that also a Japanese tradition?"

It depends on the family. Most of cost (it costs from 5000$ to 7000$) is covered by maternity allowance. So the couple needs to pay at least 1000$ more.

Anyway most parents give celebration money  to them.

There is a tradition which is dieing out. If mothers stay at their mother's house, their husbbands' parents give some money to their-daughter-in-law's parents.

(Well, in my case, it didn't. And M's husband wanted to give some money because we take care "our daughter", but we didn't accept it.)

 

 

I've noticed that the decline in the number of children happens in not all developed countries. Why in Japan we have such a serious problem? (though we have the aging population problem in all  developed countries.)

Do all women want to pursue improving their carrier?

I don't think so.  We have a problem in the way to work.

 

Akari's case -1-

M and Akari are fine.
Well, I got some questions about childbirth in Japan.
Some people use FUTON to sleep. Futon is kind of mat and we put it on the floor (usually TATAMI floor) directly, some people use bed.
When our daughters were babies, they used to sleep in FUTON, but now they are getting used to bed.
So now M sleeps in bed in my house, and Akari sleeps in a small bed next to M.



In my generation, most of mothers used to use cloth diapers when their babies became 6 months.
Nowadays most of mothers use paper diapers. This is a trash box for paper diapers. It completely stops the smell. And we dispose them on the day of burnable garbage day which comes twice a week.

Fortunately M's breasts leaks milk, so she can breast-feed. She doesn't need to start work so early, so for a while she breasts feed. But not she is into breast-feeding, so she uses formulas. And of course we and her husband helps her to give milk by bottles.
Do you know this cushion? In my time, such cushion wasn't so popular. It is very useful  for new mothers to breast-feed, and sit down (because they feel pain under their bottom.)

  Well, M said an interesting thing. Before she became a mother, she said " I don't mind breast-feeding or using formula". In Japan many mothers tend to stick fast to breast-feed. But as soon as she became a mother, she understood why mothers stick fast to breast-feed.It comes from mother's instinct. She is surprised at herself who changed. And I'm also surprised that M suddenly has become a mother.

 

-- to be continued--

AKARI finaly appeared!

My daughter M gave birth to a girl in the early morning at 3:30 yesterday. The girl's name is "Akari". Aka means bright or active, and Ri means home.
I bit she'll become active and kind to all people.

M's contractions started at 2PM two days ago.
The doctor said "when the contracions are apart 5 minutes and last 30 seconds, you'll come to the hospital."

So I'll take her to the hospital at 7PM the day before yesterday. (It takes just 10 minutes from here to the hospital by car.)

Yuki also came to the hospital.
But at the hospital (though the rule is different depends on hospitals.), only one observer is accepted, so and in her case the observer is M's husband, Mr.Y. So we had do leave the hospital when it was 8 PM. Fortunately Mr.Y could come on time, so we said "take it easy " to our daughter and went back our home.  Mr.Y witnessed his daughter's birth. He said "I'm so impressed". (In my generation, men couldn't do that.) Yuki and I were waiting for the call. And Akari appeared at 3:30 AM yesterday.

Most of the clinic. after mothers give birth, they hug their babies for a while, and on the day they separate. Mothers sleep in a hospital room without their babies on the day.
When mothers hug their babies, they give their babies their first breast milk, but after that, they don't do that for 24 hours. (The babies are given something special and milk by nurse.)
And after that, the life with  a mother and her baby has started.
So today I can hug my grand child "Akari".

Now M's condition is good, so probably she'll stay at the hospital for four days. And next Monday she and Akari will come back to this home.

She is not into giving breast milk, so if she has lots of breast milk, she gives it to her, if it's not enough, she gives milk.
And nowadays most of mothers use disposable diapers. Some mothers who are into natural life use cloth diapers, (such women tend to use cloth pads.)

Here in Japan the cost is said about from 4000$ to 70000$ when it's a natural birth.
It is mostly covered by maternity benefits,so usually mothers pay 1000 $. (In M's case I already paid to the hospital as a deposit. What a generous mother I am! )

Anyway I'll go to the hospital with my son-in-law from now.

I'm just waiting.

 

 

 

I'm just waiting for -----????

Finally my daughter M's contractions has started sine last midnight. The contractions are 10 or 15 minutes apart. When the contractions are 5 minutes apart and at least 30 seconds, I'll take her to the hospital. Now I'm waiting for the time. And we'll see our baby soon.

 

Well, last night I made curry. There was a reason.

 

In my generation, I don't know any jinks about delivery.

So it was interesting to hear three jinks about delivery.

 

The due date for our baby is tomorrow 7/24. But M was tired of waiting for her. So she told me three jinks.

 

If a parturient mother eats "YAKINIKU" (Korean style indoor barbecue),  the baby will come out soon. Last weekend four of us eat YAKINIKU at a restaurant, but she didn't come out.

 

If a parturient mother has energy drink, the baby will come out.

Last Monday she did, but she didn't come out.

 

And if a parturient mother eats curry, the baby will come out soon.

So last night I made curry, and her contraction started at 2 PM.

 

I know it goes just on plan. But anyway she ate curry last night.

 

 

 

This is Massam curry. These days when I make curry, I made Massam curry with coconuts milk.

Our grandchild doesn't come yet.

Well, last week, the doctor said "She might come this week". But she doesn't come yet, though her birthday is going to be 7/24. My daughter M seems to be tired of waiting her daughter.
The most important thing for her is to keep or to decrease her weight. So I have been cooking for her using vegetables and mainly fish. And it's troublesome to cook every meal, so I make homemade delicatessen. (I don't know how I call it. In Japanese it is called JYOUBI-sai.) They can keep for about three days in the fridge.

Today it is the first day of this week. So I cooked four dishes.
I flash-cooked NIRA-leaves and dipped them into DASHI (Japanese soup) and soy sauce.
I fried fish and marinated them with SHISO-leaves and MYOUGA.
I grilled eggplants and dipped them into DASHI.
I simmered plums with leftover wine and sugar.

Yesterday I did English picture book reading with our group members at the library. Though it is the three-day weekend, more than 10 families came. On the other hand my daughter and her husband went shopping. (because it is the three-day weekend, he is staying with us.)
So I'm free from cooking, Yuki and I went out for lunch.
It's my holiday.
I'm grinning to my self.
Because when two of us are at home, I often say "it's a little boring". But when four of people are at home , I say "it's troublesome".  Anyway I'm enjoying these unusual days.

Do you know LEO LEONNI?

LEO LEONNI is a famous picture book writer in Japan. Some of his works are appear in school textbooks in Japanese or in English.

Now at Utsunomiya of my town, LEO LEONNI exhibition is being held. I'm very happy that such an exhibition is held in such a local city.

 Then, I attended a workshop with my high school student.
A high school in Utsunomiya won debating Japan contest last year, and the team attended "world school debating championship."  The team reported the championship. I'm also happy to hear that a local public high school team won a championship in Japan, and attended the world championship.
This March, the members graduated, but new members entered the team, and this year they won a right again to attend world school debating championship in Thailand. And one of the members used to be my student when he was an elementary school student.

 

These days some people say the difference of financial, education and etc, between big cities (especially TOKYO) and local cities is getting bigger. So I'm very glad to know that an interesting exhibition is held, and we have such a strong debating team.

What's this?

Can you guess what this is?
It's an ASHITSUBO-BOU.





Though I'm embarrased, I'll show you how to use it. The sharp point is used to

press acupressure points on the sole. I'm pressing the point of adreno.

 

 

The roud part is used to massage the sole drawing a line.

I'm drawing a line to less my tiredness.

 

Here in Japan ASHITSUBO-massage (reflexology) is very common. I love it.

So I often do it by myself.

How about you?

The other day, two junior high school students were very tired and seemed sleepy. So I did it on them. They said "hurt, hurt" and of course they woke up!

 

Can you guess how old is a person who calls you on the phone?

Yesterday, a funny thing happened. After that I grinned by myself.
I got a cold call in the afternoon. It was she, and she solicited adding a solar generator on my house.

So I declined immediately, because our house was too old to add it.

But she asked me to respond surveys. I had enough confident to deny all soliciting, so I said "OK".
Well, well, first she asked me "how old is your house". So I said "It's almost 30 years old". I heard her disappointment.

And next she asked me "may I ask your generation? " So I said "I'm in my 50's".

She was """VERY""""" surprised.
She said " I'm sorry I thought you were in your 30's." (I don't know why she said sorry to me.)
And she stopped soliciting. (I don't know why? Probably she understood, if she continued, it couldn't be help.)

And the  conversation was done.
I was grinned.

Well, well, these days I often have cold-caller about "graves".
So I thought that if I said "I was in my 30's", a cold-caller would hang up immediately".

New gadgets

Our second daughter M has stayed since last Tuesday. Our grandchild will come in July.
Well, well, new gadgets come in turn.

 

Yes our grandchild is a girl.

I get used to being alone at home, so to tell the truth, I feel sometimes troublesome, on the other hand she helps me (I'm very surprised to her, she never helped me when she was a child.) so our daily life is smooth.

 

She said an interesting thing to me.

"I noticed that the feelings were different when I came home from high school every day,when I came home from Tokyo on college vacation (at that time she lives with her sister in TOKYO), when I came home on vacation , and when I came home this time as a housewife."

 

I'm very happy to hear that, and I really noticed she has already independent from us. On the other hand she quited from work, so now she is dependent on her husband, but she seems to be able to stand on her legs.

I'm very proud of her.

 

 

 Well, well, now we are in Japanese apricot season. Japanese apricots are very sour and hard.

 So I simmered them with beer and sugar.

And do you know loquats called BIWA in Japanese.

I also got some loquats. They are not mature, so I made jam.

For a while there are three members, so we don't have enough leftover. It means I'm busy in cooking.

 

an interesting idea

These days I'm into Chikirin blog.
Chikirin is a nickname, the author is a woman who seems to be in her 40's.
She exists an secret blogger, but she is really famous.
When I read her blog, I was very surprised and thought "In Japan we have such a woman, so our future might be not so bad". And I knew her blog has been very famous and she polished some books that caught a big hit. So I thought we have lots of readers who are fan of Chikirin like me, so we Japanese are still positive to our lives."

(These days watching and listening to our prime minister's opinion, I tend to be negative. Because the rich are getting richer, and the poor or the middle are getting poorer.)

Let me introduce a part of Chikirin's opinion
If you read Japanese, please check this site.

There are three types of people. Some people are good at thinking, some people are not good at thinking, and most of people are in the middle.

Some people who are good at thinking and achieve results are kind of genius.
Some people who are not good at acting with their intuition and achieve results are another genius.

So what usual people should do?
We try to combine thinking and acting. So we need lots of experience. If you think that you are not so good at thinking, you should go out and try something that other people surrounding you don't do.So you need to observe other pepole surrounding you.

If I were better at English, I would tell you her appealing opinion. ---I'm afraid I can't.

Now we are in a rainy season.

This week cooking

Let's enjoy this week.

 



 

Tochigi's scenery

Since I started to live here, more than 27 years has passed. And yesterday I knew that the scenery is one of typical scenery in Tochigi.

I know the scenery of green rice garden in May is one of typical scenery in Japan.
Can you see the contrast of the yellow part and the green part?

The green part is a rice garden with fresh rice seedlings. We have have just finished planting rice seedlings. And the other part is wheat that is waiting for their harvest.
Here in Tochigi, we crop wheat twice in spring and in fall. So this season wee see the contrast of the yellow of wheat and the green of rice seedlings.

For me it had been a usual season. Now I got smarter.

Community organization

Do you have your community organization? We call it JICHIKAI.
I live in a town, and though I don't know the exact figure of group number, they are divided into some groups. And there are about 240 households in our group. And the group is also divided into some small groups. Our house is belong to 14 group and there are 17 households. This year our house is sub-leader of this group.
becoming a leader and a sub-leader is operated by a rota system. This year our neighbour on our right is is a leader. So next year, we are leader, and our neighbor on our left is a sub-leader.

My friend asked.
Where does the organization come from?  The city government?
It's not a rule. It's a kind of habitual system. So it's free whether to become a member or not. Anyway all our neighbors are belong to JICHIKAI.
 Who runs the meetings? 
Every year the leaders and sub-leaders have a meeting and select board members. Of course they are voluntary.
And this is an important question.
What would happen if your 17 homes decided they didn't want to be a group?

Yes, it is a big problem, but not a big problem.
because nothing will happen.
So though our group is still managed by many residents without any problems, but these days the number of people who are not belong to JICHIKAI is increasing.
Because there are not so big benefit. On the contrary we should pay some money.
(Though the cost is depends on the group, in our case we have to pay 400 yen a month, and now we are planing to build our community house, so we also pay more 400 yen a month.)

What JICHIKAI can do?
Though JICHIKAI we order some things to make our area better.
To put security lights.
To plant some flowers along the street.

And we do some voluntary work by ourselves to live easily.
To clean the garbage station.
To watch children at crossroads when they go to school and come back home.

And  it is getting the most important thing these days.
To visit senior people who live alone, or live with two.
This visiting avoid to let senior people alone.

Every thing is a voluntary work. And who can do these things? Young or middle aged people too busy to do that. So mainly semi-senior people, or housewives do that.

Do you have a community organization?

cooking in this week

Let me show you my preserved dishes I cooked this week.

Grilled turnips, GOBOU and lemons with apple vinegar.

 oil-marinated green leaves.

 

 Flash-cooked pork , sliced onion and avocado with soy sauce and rice vinegar

Hijigi-seaweed and beans with sesame sauce and rice vinegar.

 

Thanks of these dishes, my meals became fulfilled without much ado.

What is your treasure?

The other day I attend a meeting. There are 8 participants, and they are in various generation. Probably I'm the second oldest person.
Well, whey we introduced ourselves, we had to talk about our treasure in one sentence.
It was really interesting.

The youngest man (from me he was a  boy), who is a college student and now he is a about to start his NGO group, said "All people, I want to make a world which is kind to all people."

The second youngest man said "My treasure is my parents."
A lady who is a mother said "I want to hear my child saying."

Another man said "my friends".
Another man , who is a writer said "my treasure is this pen".

The oldest lady said "my ground children"
The youngest lady who is a mother said " my son"

I was very interested in their opinion. I was surprised how different they are depends on the generation.

I don't know what my elder daughter would say. Is her treasure the environment she can keep her art? her works? her zeal for art? or her parents (it means us)?
And probably my younger daughter would say "my husband", and in two months it will be "my baby".

Anyway I realized, when kids start to say "my  treasure is my husband or my wife, or my child", it means they have left parents

Cooking in this week

This week I tried to cook one dish each day which can be kept well for a few days.
Roasted Toufu

boiled GOBOU with sesame

Pickled vegetables with lemons

marinated verious kinds of mushrooms

It's very useful to be always  prepared some sidedishes. Instead of makin lunch boxes called Obentou, it's becoming a new chore for me.

noble obligation

The title sounds exaggerated. Anyway, let me tell you today's story.
This morning Yuki and I went to a city garbage center to dispose of our FUTON. which is a kind of mattress. There were two sets of FUTON. They were too big to dispose of them as a home garbage.
The  cheapest way to dispose of them is to take them to the center by ourselves. It's free.
The next cheapest way is to ask to take them to the city garbage office. In this case each costs 840 yen, so total it costs about 3500yen. And it takes three or for days for them to come after we call.
The next cheapest way is to ask to take them to garbage & recycle company. In this case each costs about 1000 yen, so total it costs about 4000 yen. As soon as we call, they come to take them.

Nowadays, disposing of something costs money.
On the other hand recycling is meaningful, if someone can use it.
Our FUTON is not so bad, so I look for recycling sites. FUTON seems to be used in poor foreign countries. Some NPO groups collect FUTON. --- They don't earn money, but if we send FUTON, we donate the export fee. It costs more than 7900 yen, because FUTON-sets are very big and heavy.

If we were very rich, we might have donated them to a NPO group.

Jobs which might disappear in 2020 in Japan

I read a really astonishing report.
The jobs which might disappear in 2020 in Japan are written.
What do you think of it?

 1 train motormen, and conductors, because most of trains will be run automatically without men.
 2 cashiers at supermarkets, because most of tags will be read automatically
3 interpreters, and shorthand writers, interpreter  because automatic speech translation system will be introduced.
4 computer programmers because programing itself will be done automatically
5 mailmen now mails are delivered by post men, but other things are delivered by other home-delivery companies so probably mailmen are absorbed by such other delivery companies.
6 newspaper carriers, paperless period will come.
7 rental video shops, download system will be introduced.
8 gas station, we won't use much gas, so gas station itself won't be run, they will be absorbed by car dealers.
9 toll men, because ETC system will be completely introduced.
10 middle traders because dealing style will change into direct dealing.
11 farmers with a side job because only big farmers will be able to survive.
12 major electronic power companies because the period of electricity deregulation will come
13 companies associated with natural energy , they won't be able to survive without subsidy.
14 Upper house members, --- I don't know, but it can't be helped.
15full-time housewives --- really? Mothers will "have to" work to earn "more " money because of financial crisis
16 Japanese board members, because Japanese companies have to be globalized.
17 middle-level executives Only skilled executives will be able to survive as an office worker.
18 clerks at company offices -- to cut labor costs
19 secretaries -- to cut labor costs
20 call center operators -- don't need to operate in Japan
21 traveling salespeople -- Internet shopping will be main measure,
22 mold craft men-- automatically
23compaines associated with printers --paperless time will be come, so such companies will be difficult to survive
24 brokers -- don't need to be in Japan
25 hedge fund managers -- don't need to be in Japan
26 financial planers-- only skilled financial planers will be survived
27life insurance sales ladies --Life insurance companies won't be able to afford these people.
28 teachers-- the number of children is decreasing, so the number of teachers is also decreasing.
29 police officers who work at a police box  Convenience stores will be in charge of this job.

I think some jobs will disappear, but --- if it's true, it must be difficult to live for elderly people, it means "my" senior period.
