Today is the middle of the work week. My husband and I just had a leisurely breakfast and spent an hour talking about random stuff. It started out with my husband talking about work and what his co-workers were doing today. For some reason, we moved on to discussing the differences between American homes and Japanese houses. How my parents and my sister both own … Continue reading Chilled
That’s the way to go. I am slowly getting there, back to the me that I was before this pandemic hit. Five days ago, I went for a run. The first time in two months that I was able to do it. Not the best time in the world because I jogged slowly, at a pace that was a good start but entirely too slow … Continue reading Slowly
Happy New Year. I know, we’re already almost done with the month but I figured it doesn’t hurt to start with that since this is my first post for the year. I just hope this year will be better for everyone. There’s been a lot of good news recently, despite all the bad things that’s been happening, too. Where do we start? My parents got … Continue reading 2021
Yes, you read that right. My husband handed me a small slip of paper the other day and said he was getting a bonus. Oh, right. It’s December. Some workers in Japan, if you’re lucky enough to be working for an organization that does it, get a summer and winter bonus. Hubby is one of those lucky people. I am not. Sigh. So I look … Continue reading Bonus
And in a disappointing, but not unexpected twist of events, the Go-To Travel campaign instituted by the Japanese government has come to a stop–at least in Sapporo anyway. The campaign was meant to stimulate the economy in Japan after these hard few months of asking people to stay home and make sacrifices. I get it. It was hard not to travel during the summer months. … Continue reading The Third Wave
Today is November 23, 2020. In Japan it is Kinrō Kansha no Hi or 勤労感謝の日 in Japanese. It’s meant to be a day to celebrate labor, the productivity of Japanese people. Appropriately, it’s a National Holiday and lots of people have a day off from work. Except for me, of course. But I don’t resent it. I find it extremely fitting that I would be … Continue reading National Labor Thanksgiving Day
“How much do you weigh?” the insurance lady asks me. I give her a number in kilograms. She waves the number away and proceeds to give me advice on how I can approach this application with the best way to lower my monthly rates. If you do X, your rates will increase next year. If you do what I tell you instead (Y), then you … Continue reading Our Insurance Lady
I went a funeral this weekend. My husband’s 86-year-old uncle passed away. We heard the news on Sunday and spent the weekend with family. While the funeral itself was somber, it wasn’t as tearful as I’d expected. Pretty much everyone knew he’d been at the hospital being treated for cancer. Everyone was emotionally prepared for his death, had made their peace with him before he … Continue reading Shuukatsu: End of Life Activities
Oh, the irony. After my last post about being consistent at writing, I drop off from publishing on a regular schedule and miss basically a month of blogging. Sigh. But such is life. The good thing is that things are cyclical and what I love about fall the most is the feeling of rebirth that it gives me. This is my favorite season because it … Continue reading Fall: Rebirth and Renewal
I’ve been doing good so far with blogging. I’ve been really consistent so I’m really proud of myself. I’m guided by the goal of writing at least 500 words a day, if I can. Ideally I would like to journal this much everyday when I can, but it’s just impossible with so many things to do. Right now, I am getting ready for a very … Continue reading 500 Words
