Here Mei-Shun relaxes at a nearby hair salon. Both she and the owner successfully reserved vaccine inoculations against the novel coronavirus yesterday. The former took 30 minutes while the latter a whole hour, saying “it was already full on the 1st Monday, so I chose the 2nd”. Well, just half an hour gives such a difference. MS saw all dates available except for one Saturday.
Mom, who is this one? One of my species living around the nearest station, I see. Dad sometimes catches their nice shots like above, while she takes my photos almost every day. You received an “Yes” phone call from Dr. A, look delighted. So if the next appointment with her next January could see you inoculated, everyone of our family except for ME would be a bit safer.

Yes, six years have passed. Mei-Shun saw Dr. A for half-an-year examination today. The former had another matter to ask the latter lady: vaccine inoculation against the novel coronavirus sounded available at this hospital. However, a small piece of paper on the wall met her eyes by chance, saying they already run out of it. Many outpatients seem to prefer a place they are used to.
It was today of 12 years before. Mei-Shun phoned mother who sounds satisfied saying that her younger daughter never forgets this date. Well, she makes it a rule to listen only — no criticism, no opinion yet “yes” and “you are right”. It is all different from their usual conversation, let an almost-octogenarian continue to talk for an hour and a half. Dearest Daddy, is it correct?
Meow, following are my friends toward delicacy. Mom serves me stewed meat in bigger one while jelly in smaller other. She has used the former only, yet worried about a kind of noise I make in full mouth. Since her Ame-chan has gone caused by teeth grinding, she is scared of my losing any. From a few days before, she holds a stick to let me lick it little by little, putting above latter on her legs to receive drops.

It was cool and all-through rainy today. Mei-Shun visited a nearby hair salon, enjoyed a glass of pineapple juice while waiting for dyeing medicine to calm down. She found a little slide in a park across a lane, nearly covered with wild grass on lower steps. Perhaps no children play here after the pandemic shock — astounding reach of a global disease.
It is the last date of April, on Friday this year. Mei-Shun feels it nice because her weekday schedule ends with a month. Golden Week holidays started from yesterday, yet Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and Hyogo Prefectures are under the 3rd Covid-19 state of emergency. Faraway from relaxation in mind, she would just be careful not to gain any sugar bag around waist.
Mei-Shun often has a sore throat after catching a cold. Coughing for weeks has lead to awful bronchitis. Such a condition is too inconvenient to balance with active life, she concentrates on care by gargle, iodine lotion and medical drink. Yes, water plays a very important role; a glass of it easily lets slight fever go, humidity weakens viruses including that novel one perhaps.
First in 2021
Today’s music aired at the horsey riding club reminded Mei-Shun of her repertoire again — Impromptus, Opus 90, Allegro composed by Master Schubert. She practiced that bright tune too much after dancing with Princess Maria, has got a bit hurt in fingers. The former is currently better at reining the latter lady, might receive message from the great artist.

So we would see the first full moon of lunar 2021 tomorrow. It is a bit cloudy from this morning, relieves Mei-Shun of hanging futon mats outdoors. Almost no sunlight, yet open windows for fresh air. It has become one of new customs to avoid infection of the novel coronavirus. She heard that less people passed away in our country last year, partly thanks to such manners perhaps.
