Tatami Moon

Standard

She appeared from under a fan. It is amazing how quick our new tatami mats change their color — just weeks have passed since they replaced our older ones. Juliet asked Romeo no to swear by the “inconstant” moon that monthly changes in her circled orbit. Well, so she does even under our feet, dear lovers.

3rd Renewal?

Standard

Now our dishwasher is set after a long wait. They told us that a gas fitter for the hobs would come around 15 : 00, yet he appeared one hour earlier. Well, no problem. We satisfied with his job, precise and speedy. Just before he left, Shin gave his wife a message to recommend a trial operation of the dishwasher. Mei-Shun tried and — oh no, it never starts! She asked the gas fitter for a help, while our contact personnel visited for a check at the same time.

Wait a Minute

Standard

Please let Mei-Shun talk a bit more about her teeth. According to Dr. M’s explanation, any covering except for metals could be cracked if pressed by natural teeth. Occlusion strength does not matter. Therefore, in order to solve Mei-Shun’s problem, another treatment is required to prevent her lower molar from touching its upper counterpart. The former, after shocked twice, must be shaven more to make a slight, indispensable space. Then, the 3rd ceramics would come on it, looking quite better than zirconia.

3rd Tooth

Standard

… has come to cover Mei-Shun’s molar of the lower left jaw. Yes, the third one. It seems her occlusion is too powerful to accommodate ceramics. The first one came into a soft candy, a bit sticky one, which she chewed. The second one had been safe for just a week before it was found broken when she got up in a morning. Dr. M therefore chose a zirconia to replace the latter, saying so sorry. Well, the only wish for the patient is that her choice would be the last.

Tooth Again

Standard

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

Standard

How 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

Standard

These 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

Standard

And 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!

Standard

While 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

Standard

Our 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.
