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.
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.
Lunar May starts from today. Mei-Shun dropped in above shrine, after driving Shin toward the nearest station, to make a wish to Gods while draw omikuji lots. She is quite busy this morning — appointment with her home dentist Dr. M follows at 10 : 15, with Ame-chan on her lower left jaw fell from a real molar just yesterday. A dermatologist is also expected to see her if she could reach his clinic in time.
Princess Maria, great to see and dance with you again. It took as long as 3 weeks for Mei-Shun to recover from her horribly red right eye. Pink cherry blossoms around the field have all gone, left just one tree of wilder breed full of white flowers. It assembles you, honey, whose scar above left eyelid has been cured to be covered up brilliantly by your summer coat.
Mei-Shun went to a research institute with mom-in-law today, to get the 3rd vaccination against that coronavirus still “new” following 4 kinds already found among us human beings. Gods of rain kindly stopped falling when they got on Ms. Scarlet. It was the first time they entered the site. Beautiful trees in light green, white and pink welcomed them under gray sky. It might be why they saw no crowd.
Mei-Shun got her right eye all red in half like a strawberry. It is a kind of injury called subconjunctival hemorrhage. Looking recovered 90%, still a bit weird with yellowish shadow in white part. That is why she canceled an appointment with Princess Maria yesterday, while with another on Thursday. No sweets with no exercise, yet she found nostalgic, bigger ones.
Thank you so much, Dr. A. Mei-Shun asked her to introduce a good ophthalmologist the other day. “All right, she is mother of a classmate of my son, very soft-touch”, the former lady said. It is Dr. N who manages a clinic in Tsukuba, kindly took care of above patient yesterday. She enjoyed driving toward there along many sakura trees in almost full blossom, including 染井吉野 and 大島桜 breeds.
Thanks a lot, Princess Maria. Mei-Shun did not feel very good in the morning, took medicine and a rest for a while. Getting better, she got on Ms. Scarlet. Dancing outdoors with a lovely horsey works best, let her recover in just a few hours. And sweet Mikan-chan, coming home to find your peaceful smile is always exultation of mom. Oh-oh, Dr. A kindly left her phone a “Yes” message.
Mei-Shun visited a clinic just next to her home dentist. She is insured by Shin for annual health check, recommended to people of 40 years or older. So this is her month of seeing various doctors; dentist of course, dermatologist, physician, Dr. A and veterinarian. They prefer her left arm to take blood sample, used the same place to result in a tiny bruise with a slight pain.
Mei-Shun finally saw Dr. A with CT-image taking just before noon today. It should have been at the end of January — when they always said “a happy new year” while “please have a nice end of the year” in July. The former would have been fine; especially 2022 who had lunar New Year’s Day on February 1st, yet the latter a bit weird; changed from midsummer to autumn hereafter. It seems still too soon even for demons to laugh at.
