Laziness is creeping up.

Recently, I have been noticing that I am becoming a bit lazier than usual.   Don't give me wrong, I really enjoy a day here and there with absolutely nothing to do or the desire to do. That usually happens every few months.   However, lately I've noticed I don't feel like doing anything.   There are things I want to do in my head, but my body or my mood isn't moving.   Then again, yesterday, when my cousin asked if I could sew up his pants, I did in a few minutes. Then, I felt like I wanted to sew more. Maybe I need a setup or trigger to do something.   So, I tested the theory. I had some computer work. So, I set up my computer and am still working.   But to combat my laziness that is creeping up, I think I will start without imagining the commitments and time that I will be spending. Then it might work?

2024.10.10~16: Day 12~18

    It has been a minute.


    I realized after a while if I am writing pretty much identical things such as "I am walking faster than yesterday or It was a good day", it will get boring for me. So, I stopped posting anything if I felt like the days had a mundane daily routine which was my weekdays.


    On Sunday (10/13), I met up with my beautiful ladies. One couldn't make it due to a fever. Nevertheless, it was refreshing to go out and have coffee and lunch. We went to Bondi Cafe Hiroo. I had coffee. We all had green curry with two types of fries. It was nice to eat out after almost two months of limited travel areas (hospital, home, work). I would have taken a photo to share here, but my mouth was so busy talking and catching up with my friends. Well, the internet has plenty of pictures of the place and food. 


    On Monday (10/14), as usual, I weighed myself and BGL. Both didn't change. Also, I finished my first 24-hour fast at around 6pm. I had yogurt (of course homemade) and some nuts. I was able to do this fast because I was working from home for a few days. I slept a lot during the day cause it is something that is recommended by a lot of people who do fast. 


    On Tuesday (10/15) morning, I couldn't help but weigh myself. I was down 1 kg. It is fascinating what fasting does to your health. Then I broke my 13-hour fast and started right after finishing my yogurt and nuts, with water and coffee with milk. Then off to my physical therapy appointment. It went well. The therapist told me to do the bridge pose to strengthen my butt and thigh muscles. Once I got back from the hospital, I saw the time and noticed I was faster than a week ago. The nicest part of the day was that I went grocery shopping. I know it sounds so silly, but it was nice to stroll and buy things I needed like ginger and sweet potato. Of course, I didn't buy a lot. Then I made udon (it was on sale) stir-fry. It was good and I made enough for 3 days. Towards 6pm, after I had a cup of coffee and a snack, I started another 24-hour fast. 


That is all for now. See you in the next post.

Japan has a sweaty season.

     It is mid-June, and it is starting to get hot. We are still rainy season. However, it is hot when it is sunny.      Japan has a lot to see if you are traveling. On top of that, if you like the summer season, I applaud you.       I don't like the summer season. It probably is my least favorite of the seasons. Japanese summer, I would call it, the sweaty season.       If you are like me who sweat easily, the one you sweat through the crack of your butt, you will not like Japanese summer.       So, the sweaty season of the year has started. At this moment, it is tolerable. There will be a nice breeze, like today, once in a while. I feel overall okay when going out (of course with my hat and sunscreen).        Once July starts and rolls over to August, that is when it becomes unbearable. I would sweat just sitting still. I felt that last year when I broke bones in my foot ...

Stinky Japanese

     Every day has been over 30 degrees Celsius. During this heat, it is smelly if you are riding trains like me. don't think Japanese people realize that they stink.       Imagine this: you are standing next to a guy whose arm is stretched to hold on to the rail. You get a whiff of his underarm smell, and you must stand next to him until he or you get off because the train is packed. After all, it is rush hour. OR… you finally get a seat next to a guy. That guy is talking to someone that is sitting next to him. Every time he opens his mouth, you get the smell of someone who is not in the habit of brushing his teeth. Again, you must sit next to him because the train is packed. AND…you wish you had a mask to put on.       I don’t think Japanese people realize that they stink or don’t care about personal hygiene. Sounds ironic. Japan is the land of onsens and public bathhouses.       The majority of the time, you w...

Going out is a hassle.

 Today, I had a dental appointment. Going out in this heat, I didn't want to but I had to.  As soon as I open the door and step out, the humidity and the heat hit me. I immediately start sweating, and I can feel that my cap is getting wet. I was worried about my body because my stomach was weird last night which made me vomit.  Then as soon as you step into a carriage of the train, it is cold. I felt cold. The extremes of hot and cold affect my body. It sounds weird, but I usually get cold during the summer in Japan because of this.  My dentist got a new chair, and it looked very fancy. She told me that I need a small-headed toothbrush for my molars because my Oral-B head is not small enough to reach back there. So, I got one. On the way home, I stopped by the supermarket. Purchased avocados to make a toast. It was yum.  Right now, I am sitting and finishing my last assignments of a course I am taking online, and sweating.  Oh, I restarted my fasting and di...
