Sweet Snow

Standard

Mei-Shun and mom-in-law visited a nearby clinic to get the 4th shot of vaccination against that “novel” coronavirus yesterday. For the first time used the one made by P. Inc., the former feels a bit weird. Or she just forgot her adverse effects against others by M. Inc. except higher fever after 2nd and 3rd. Anyway, white-covered Mt. Fuji would cheer her up on behalf of Shin who stayed in 海老名 last night.

Great Grapes: 3

Standard

The other box of above fruit arrived at happy hands of Mei-Shun last night. She actually had a slight cold, staying home all day long. It therefore seemed like a get-well gift from Shin via Master I. Yes, thanks to it, she recovered toward 80% of normal condition today. Fever has gone, let her vacuum rooms in the morning. After lunch, which is better to go to nearby ENT clinic, or to walk to the nearest shrine?

Fine Fountains

Standard

Mei-Shun made a new rule: walking on days when she does not go for horsey riding. During recent severe summer, she perspires with no exercise. Or such activity is advised to refrain from, never serves for muscle building. Thanks to cool evening, she enjoyed looking around 乙戸沼 Pond on foot today after 4 months. Oh, beautiful 5th crescent welcomes her and Mikan-chan back home.

Standard

… and 3 days have passed since Mei-Shun left the hospital when Dr. A kindly gave her a “Yes” phone call this afternoon. The former lady said that next CT scheduled on 14th, March 2023 could be the last. Well, that scanning is no burden if added to one of half-an-year checks. And her body under neck, above legs are precisely examined. Only good things it has.

Mei-Shun saw Dr. A for a half-an-year check today. There were many outpatients at the hospital, forced her to make a queue for every procedures. Ah, next week has two of our national holidays including Respect-for-the-Aged Day, that might be why. A room to take blood samples were full of elder people. They are lively enough to come here, while most of inpatients are not.

Bite at Night

Standard

Do you kind followers like to have sweets a bit before going to bed? Shin and Mei-Shun do, or are forced to when a gift from a client of the husband is due within that day. And it seems practical for him to eradicate rice, the most loved food from every meal. On the other hand, the wife was satisfied with numbers on a scale. She therefore might deserve it even if failed in dance with horseies.

This is Mountain Day, one of the last national holidays set in Heisei era. We adults have obon summer vacation from August 13th to 16th, while children for as long as one and a half month from the end of July. The former Mei-Shun has a few spots between right fingers, became aware of several scores to play Ms. Piano make her feel itchy. Tempo does not matter, yet fingering.

Safe Schedule

Standard

Mei-Shun saw her home dentist Dr. M in the evening. The former patient asked to change a reservation previously set at the end of last month — scared if such torrid weather might burn her in daytime. However, it has become much cooler from last week thanks to our friend Typhoon Aere. There was no problem in her mouth, while a little on the way to home with a slight traffic jam.

Cool Crescent

Standard

晴耕雨読 means “sunlight to work outdoors, rainfall to read indoors”. However, this torrid week gave Mei-Shun an antonym — she studied at home to avoid sunburn and other troubles, went shopping after showers including one by hand. Such an occasion teaches how much every horsey works to get her in shape. 松の緑 also helps, while  never depending on weather.

Single Smile

So this is the end of solar June or 水無月=minazuki that Shin and Mei-Shun enjoyed one of their favorite seasonal delicacies, called the same as above month. They wish the other half of 2022 would be prosperous and felicitous for you kind 473 followers as well. Actually the wife is not sure if she deserves sweets at night: she was forced to cancel lessons at her horsey riding club by the severe heat.
