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.

Crasher Clouts
StandardHow shocking it is to see her glasses broken! A metal frame for drying clothes suddenly fell on Mei-Shun. This is the 2nd time — they always protect her eyes sacrificing one of themselves. Thanks and sorry, kind twins. “You didn’t get any hurt, did you?” said Shin first when his wife informed on the misfortune.
Oh, Babies
StandardThese little sprouts of gingko in our backyard while in a row at 乙戸沼 Park are so cute, looking like green shells. However, the former was found to work as stairs for Tora-chan to reach Mei-Shun, Shin and Mikan-chan living on the 2nd floor. Good girl, we cannot let you in. Please keep free, save your territory including our garden.
Missing Horsey
StandardAnd Mei-Shun is still haunted by it. She had reserved a lesson for this morning; Friday, 90-minute, by Ms. I, it has been the best for her to concentrate so far. Well, similar accident could occur anytime. It looks better to change her schedule, into evening for example. As it gets warmer, annoying flies increase to attack horses. Sunlight burns our skin.
Emergency!
StandardWhile Mei-Shun relaxed at nearby beauty salon, a slight accident occurred in her … lower body. Something began to knock her from inside, getting stronger little by little from a castanet via small and big drums to a cymbal. She immediately left with a frozen smile on the face, drove carefully to home. Yes, she made it — a narrow escape.
16-Year Work
StandardOur dishwasher seems broken. It won’t turn on since last Wednesday — actually it sometimes does, yet never starts. Well, it is 清明=seimei today, the 5th of 二十四節気. Refreshing southeastern wind is said to blow, while it changed from warm-southern one to cold-eastern. Time of amendment might have come.
Eye Protector
StandardIt seems most women like to see mirrors, yet not for Mei-Shun right now. Shin noticed yesterday morning that she had reddish eyes, especially in the left. Her home ophthalmologist Dr. S diagnosed it as subconjunctival hemorrhage, which would take approx. 2 weeks to heal. Such a horrible look prevents her from going out. Just stay at home, play with Ms. Piano, it might say.
Beautiful Dreamer
StandardToday means Cat’s Day, yet let Mei-Shun talk about a horse girl. Actually, she made a break falling from Dreamer’s back last Wednesday. Fortunately, excellent work of an airbag vest prevented any trouble. She only felt a slight stiffness at the back of her neck for a few hours after that accident. Sorry, honey, it must have frightened you so much.
A Big Tyre
Standard… Mei-Shun has grown around her waist. It occurs every year actually, since she has too much sweets, feasts and alcohol of great taste from the end of December to the middle of January. Now she started to reduce carbo, her favorite, in diet. It is the most feared to get weight back immediately, so good cooking to enjoy every necessary nutrient is the key.
Horse in the Rain
StandardThey looked quite all right. It was Mei-Shun whose concentration wondered around the elliptical riding ground, going counterclockwise. She likes to see rainy sight, hesitates to step into it without any gears. However, Shin and mom-in-law never share her feeling — could you stop using her favorite umbrella as a walking stick?
