Welcome to 2026.

     First of all, Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. I hope this year will bring you what you have wished for.       Secondly, as the new year begins, we all like to put some impossible challenges in the name of resolution and changing ourselves. I did that every single year. Then every single year, by the end of it, I blame myself for not completing the things that I said to myself that I would accomplish that year. So, this year, I said to myself that I would do only one thing. That is, I will not put a challenge for myself. I will do things that I will like and do those things with a mindset of someone who wants to be a better human being.       Lastly, I would like to see new areas and take an international trip.       That is it for now.       I have more things to share about our family roadtrip and work ski trip. Also, all the drama about my work, of course.     ...

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...
