Nice Nurses

Standard

Ms. H, one of the most soft-touch ladies ever seen, took care of Mei-Shun as a young mother at the hardest night after operation. She is interested in learning English. Ms. T has been found to be vice-head nurse. She looks boyish, maybe therefore very friendly and kind. Her best point is being an incredible listener to patients’ voice.

Cure All

Standard

Mikan-chan has returned to normal health. She eats well, drinks much, uses her restroom nicely, plays actively and – sleeps after sleeping. Good girl, your job is just this. Keep cute as well.

Keep Healthy

Standard

Mikan-chan had a loose bowel last week. Thanks to her home doctor, she looked recovered for a while. However, she had it again … Sorry, baby. Mom should have used all medicine given from Dr. O.

Japanese Culture@wkday

Standard

Today is節分; setsu-bun, the last day of winter. We throw roasted soybeans toward outdoors calling “鬼は外; oni-wa-soto” while into the room saying “福は内; fuku-wa-uchi”. This ceremony has been held at home to invite health and happiness, hopefully with coming warm spring. 立春; risshun, the first day of spring comes tomorrow.

Horrible Season

Standard

So they’ve come. Yes, cedar pollens. Shin is seriously allergic to them, has only to take medicine and sleep to stop sneezing. And his mother does the same downstairs. Ohhh … Mei-Shun currently has no symptom, yet who knows when and how she joins them?

After 2 Years

Standard

Shin has brought home a wild vine when he had a business trip to Nagano. The fresh fruit tastes nice, yet a bit too sour. Mei-Shun therefore made it soaked in white rum. We tried this beautiful violet color at the end of 2013 – it gave a fine scent as well. And to date, it has been separated into bottled liquid and fruit.

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.

Very Merry

Standard

A little earlier Christmas gift has come to Mei-Shun. 2 weeks before, Shin’s doctor found his blood in terrible conditions. It might be caused by a cancer, he said. Today’s second, closer examination has resulted in “the reason is not clear, yet no cancer”. So, anyway, we’ve got rid of the worst.

Strolling

Standard

Mei-Shun (and Shin on weekends) started walking toward the nearest shrine. Daily exercise including dance practice is indispensable for her healthy life. It is a nice day, while a dragonfly escorted her through a narrow path between rice paddies. We are satisfied to have such a beautiful environment conserved well.
