A Shock!

Standard

This weighing scale is broken, isn’t it? Five weeks have passed since Mei-Shun left the hospital. She had made it – lost a good weight, felt no pain and fine. However, it is never easy to keep such condition. A tire has begun to grow up around her waist little by little to date, and … does it cause a pain in the scar as well?

Burned Corn …

Standard

It’s normally all right. Mei-Shun is not so bad at making popcorn. However, she turned a wrong page this morning – most of them are browned or even blacked, smelling burned. Oh no, we would like popped ones. Tomorrow again.

Nicely Returned

Standard

One night later, shocked garlic looks all right in a soy-sauce pool. And that strong scent is recovered. Good boys, Shin would be satisfied with you. Osechi, rice cakes and sweets have made us weigh a little (?) more, so see you next week.

Shockingly Dried

Standard

Mei-Shun’s mother has a recipe of soy sauce-soaked garlic chicken. It tastes good, Shin likes it very much. Looking into the refrigerator, Mei-Shun found a bundle of garlic. It seemed all right, but quite light … wow. Completely dry! After peeling, they are just like cashew nuts.

Let’s Be Happy

Standard

Shin came down with a nasty cold this weekend. Since he is working for a food company, year-end is the busiest time; he has to work 7 days a week. Mei-Shun therefore felt happy to see him stay at home, yet unhappy for his condition. So did Mikan-chan.

Black Out, Blue On

Standard

In the evening, a sudden cacophony of thunder fell, let all lights off. Only cooking fires with which Mei-Shun was preparing dinner left on. Simmering sound and blue gas fire caught our attention until TV voice, microwave alarm, phone recorder, etc. came back to cover them. 5-minute halcyon, old days might be a gift from the nature.

Headaches

Standard

Mei-Shun caught a cold. A slight fever, stomachaches, a sore throat and running nose, sleepiness … might be among the worst happenings in preparation for a stage performance. She only hopes that accumulated training so far works well.

Painful Batty

Standard

Mei-Shun received a letter of estimate for a batty-repellent measure. Shocking price – it costs as much as she dances on the stage twice. Oh, you are shocked? Yes, amateur dancers have to pay for rental costumes, make-ups, stage settings, etc. by themselves.

Batty Returns

Standard

An expert visited us today, said “yes, bats are in”, taking a glance at the eaves. They are quite small, go easily through a narrow slit which works as an air vent. “This family consists of 30-50 members.” Okay. Our home has celebrated Halloween all through the year …

Oh My Girl …

Standard

Mikan-chan sometimes forgets her rest-room place. It’s not so often, but when Mei-Shun is too busy, she cannot help ignoring her daughter’s love call. Mikan-chan feels displeased, and … oh, stop it, darling.
