Finally, a full day at home

     It has been non-stop since I got back from Mongolia. First, I had to move. I had three weeks before I had to return the apartment. I moved several boxes a day. Then my father came to help. While he was here, we had to drive to Kochi, which took three days. I drove 12 hours each way. Then it was moving week for both me and my cousins. A day before we actually moved the last of the furniture, my cousins got a phone call. It was dreadful news. Their father had passed away due to his illness. As soon as we finished moving, or more like shoving things into the house, they had to prepare to go back to Mongolia for the funeral. That week was horrible.      Then it was time to look for a parking spot for the car. The house comes with a parking spot, but we have two cars, so we needed to find a spot for the second car. It was a stressful week right after my cousins had left for Mongolia, because I had to park the car at the coin parking since my cousin hadn’t f...

2024.09.29: Day 1

     Today, I had another X-ray of my foot. Thankfully, the cast came off, so I can walk, albeit at a snail's pace. It hurts so much when I walk. The doctor instructed me to put only 1/3 of my body weight on the injured foot. Since I am using crutches, calluses (I don't know what to call them) are developing on my hands. It will be weeks before I can walk on my own.       On a positive note, I was finally able to wash and moisturize my foot today. It had been feeling incredibly dry like a dry desert.  After returning from the hospital, I asked my cousin to bring burgers for both of us.      Also, I am crocheting a blanket for my friend. She has been checking up on me and making sure I have a stock of what I need. She has a beautiful baby daughter. As a thank you, I started crocheting a bright orange baby blanket. Will upload a photo when I finish it.

It is weird to restart this blog.

So far, I have been living in Japan for 6 years. My Japanese language level is conversational and I am doing okay if I evaluate my current situation. However, there are constant battles with my weight. I lose some and gain that back. Total yo-yoing. A month ago, I hurt my foot and cannot walk. I have been working from home (Thank you, Boss.). Thankfully, I didn't gain any weight even though I cannot move like I did before the injury.  Then, I realize I am overweight and my annual health check is coming up in about 3 weeks. Also, there are only 3 months left till the end of the year.  SO, I decided to give myself upcoming 3 weeks and 3 months to lose some weight. I am being realistic. If I put my goal weight somewhere I will be disappointed in myself because I am not reaching the goal yesterday. That being said, I will write how much I lost every week. However, I will post every day how the day went and what my struggles were.  If you are reading this, you have to understa...
