Mei-Shun has enough HDL cholesterol in blood, a bit higher than average. Dr. A always jokes calling it “tasty blood”. Well, it might be tomato juice that circulates within her body. And T-Bil is as well a little higher. Is it why she has often been asked if she ate too much oranges?

Missing Tora-chan
Standard… for a whole day. We saw her bend the right, rear leg yesterday. It looked clear that she had a pain there, yet she never let us touch it. Did you fight with somebody? Or get a poisonous bite by a horsefly? Oh, you had no breakfast. We worried about her all day long. In the evening, when mom-in-law started watering the garden, she unexpectedly appeared from the mint bush. Welcome back, darling.
After 14 Wks
StandardSigh of relief again. This is the 4th visit to the hospital to see Dr. A after Mei-Shun left there. However, another sigh is for her plan of diet, which miserably failed so far. It is awful. Obesity is a kind of disease. All the same for the plump, or even worse because they tend to take themselves still approved to be healthy. Such an idea already looks unhealthy, doesn’t it?
I’m in good health.
After 10 Wks
StandardSo happy to hear from Dr. A that Mei-Shun has no problem in the blood, either. The scar is getting smaller thanks to a “magic” tape, which actually works with steroidal agent. Further efforts (including diet!) would lead to better conditions. July 10th is set for the target to lose X kg.
Watermelons
StandardWhole ones are still in the field for finishing sunbath. If you are on the waiting list, find cut ones at stores. They are reasonable and ripe enough, but might be too cold for some stomachs. Nature knows what to eat right now.
Lazy Days
StandardRainy days makes you feel like doing nothing, don’t they? Sleepy anytime, slow for anything. And that makes Mei-Shun put on bigger tire around her waist … ohhh, she must escape from such a vicious circle as soon as possible.
Lesson Resumed
StandardMaster Mei-Shu gave Mei-Shun the first lesson after the latter left hospital. Three-month intermission does not seem too long to get their concentration back. Fine perspiration. We love Japanese dance, the best and admirable art.
Thorny Rose
StandardWe found a camellia tree in the backyard of our neighbor full of toxic caterpillars! That tree is not ours, but blooms nicely in winter. It therefore seems our duty to keep her healthy. And our own health must be cared as well.
After half a year
StandardThe eldest son of Professor S is a doctor, managing a clinic in Nakano, Tokyo. It is so nice to come here by train, chat with him before taking a kind of aesthetic treatment. A diagnosis requiring an operation has prevented Mei-Shun from enjoying this little monthly journey, yet now she is very happy to resume it.
Typhoon in May
StandardIt was awful last night. Typhoon Noul, changed into an extratropical cyclone, rushed over Japanese Archipelago. Growling and shaking houses like an earthquake, it really scared us. Further torturing is such a torrid weather afterward – we are not yet used to it. Let’s be careful not to have a heatstroke.
