Mei-Shun read an interesting, while a little scary article. Researchers on obesity said that the bigger weight you lose, the easier you will regain it. It is caused by leptin, a hormone secreted from adipocytes, inhibits appetite and activates metabolism. Obese people lose a lot of weight along with leptin, therefore tortured by serious hunger and limited energy consumption in resting state all the time. The only consolation is that she has been plump for almost half her life so far, rather than obese.
Here you find a rice planter, for which these lovely boats full of young babies are waiting. It is very nice that watered paddies are not so shiny as Otonuma is even early in the morning. Mei-Shun feels happy to walk along them, greeting several other walkers and dogs.
Two tablets of chewing gum with xylitol after every meal is recommended for your healthy teeth. However, when Mei-Shun followed this advice, she felt a metal covering on a tooth of her lower right jaw moved upward a little. And Dr. M, her home dentist, found it really did. Now is another chance to replace it by ceramic one. Shin’s approval? Of course he gave her.
Here comes Golden Week. It was named by the film industry who gain big profits during these serial holidays, they say. And many farmers use it to water their rice paddies before planting seedlings. Mei-Shun overslept a little this morning, saw two farmers already start working on her way to the shrine. Sorry to interrupt you.
Good morning, guardian.
One of green necklace pods has been found growing it. So cute is this puffball on a long and slender stalk, isn’t it? Each seeds will fly away with one strong message to prosper anywhere. Oh, it reminds Mei-Shun of Dr. A, not a message recorded but saying “Yes” on a phone call at Sunday night.
They followed a pair of glasses from Niijima Island, included in Izu-Shichi To=seven islands of Izu where volcanoes are so active that we can enjoy nice hot springs while 抗火石=kouka–seki, meaning the rare lava-rock, is used as one of ingredients to make such beautiful olive green arts.
… in diet Mei-Shun could be called actually. Since her junior high school days, she has repeated weight loss and gain. It never seems good for health, the more you lose and gain sugar bags all over the body as insuline spike does in blood. Her goal is to reach BMI 22 first of all, and keep it as long as possible — for her whole life, hopefully.
When Shin walks to the station, his wife joins these days. He heads to the west, she does to the north. Mei-Shun is lucky to see two male pheasants on the way to the nearest shrine. They look struggling for territory beside rice paddies soon watered to accommodate frogs, egrets and herons.
Mei-Shun reserved a beauty salon in Shinagawa again, not to avoid a phone call from Dr. A. Shin’s schedule allowed them to meet there only today.
A 加賀(=Kaga, current Ishikawa Prefecture) cuisine restaurant always guides them into a room called 寿椿, meaning celebrated camellia. A wooden “pheasant” welcomes them as usual, yet his blue feather is all different from normal ones. You are a peacock, aren’t you?
… Woops, no message was recorded on our home phone.
