クリスマスは3連休！
カレンダーを見ていたら...今年のクリスマスはなんと3連休！年末は神戸に帰省するので、あんまり高い所や遠出はできないけど、1泊2日で近郊の温泉にでも行きたいなぁ～。早速、リサーチしてみようかな。When I was looking at the calendar, I noticed that this christmas is a 3 days weekend. For New Year's holidays, we're going back to Kobe. So we can't go anywhere too expensive and too far. But it would be nice if we can go way to a nearby hot spa for a night. Well, I guess I better do some research on this.

推薦入試の季節
私の働く大学でも昨日から推薦入試が始まりました。出勤前に学食の自販機に缶コーヒーを買いに行くと、最後の追い込みの復習をする高校生の横に父母がいるという姿を多数見かけました。その姿を見て、本当に初々しいなと思うと同時に、私にもこんな頃があったもんだとも懐かしく思いました。今週はつかの間の秋季休暇ということもあり、キャンパス内は昼間は閑散としていて、推薦入試だというのに、なぜか学食までもが閉まっていました。かろうじて、近くのコンビニがやっていたからよかったものの、危うく昨日は昼ごはんを食べ損ねそうになりました。この状況、今日まで続くらしいので、今日はさすがに弁当持参！なんとか食いっぱぐれなくて済みそうです。（苦笑）The university I work for started its reccomendation entrance exams yesterday. Before going to my office, I stopped by the cafeteria to buy some coffee at the vending machine. As I was walking into the cafeteria, I saw many highschool seniors preparing for their exams for the last time and their parents sitting by them. I thought these highschool students looked really fresh and it made me bring back my memories of when I was taking my entrance exams as a highschool senior,too. Because it's a short autumn break this week, the university campus is very quiet. Although there are reccomendation entrance exams, all the cafeterias were closed,too. Thanks to the nearby convinience store that was open, nor we wouldn't be able to eat any lunch yesterday. This situation will continue until today. Today I'm bringing my lunch! , so I don't have to worry about eating lunch today.

短期ダイエット
最近、気持ちちょっと太ったような気がしないでもない今日この頃。少なくとも独身時代よりは少し太った気がする。結構身長が高いのが幸いして、見た目にはそうは見えないらしいけど...実はかなりヤバイ？！もうすぐ年末年始。実家に帰れば、ご馳走もならび大人数で食事をするということもあり、ついつい大食いする可能性も極めて高い！そういうことで、今日から短期ダイエットを急遽敢行！とりあえずおやつと缶ジュースや缶コーヒーをやめ、夕飯の時もご飯を1膳だけにすることから始めようと思っています。とりあえずの目標は－3キロ。けっこう目標が定まったら、意思も固くやり遂げるタイプなんでできないことはないだろうと思っています。正月が来る頃には今よりもスリムダウンしてるぞぉ～♪Recently I feel that I've gained a bit of a weight. Atleast I gained some weight since I was single. Because I'm tall, thanks to my height!, I don't look too fat at all. But I'm not all that alright! It's almost time for New Year's holidays. Going back to my family means I'll be eating alot because there's alots to eat with many to eat with,too. This means there are very high possibilities of over eating! So I decided to go on a 1 month diet from today. First I'll start off by not eating snacks and drinking canned juices and coffees. I'll also start eating only 1 bowl of rice for dinner everyday. My plan is to lose 3 kgs. I'm a type of person who trys hard when the goal is set. So I think once my mind is set on it, I'll have no problem at it. Just wait and see, how slim down I'll be by New Year's!

マンション耐震問題
最近もっぱらニュースをつければ、マンション耐震問題ばかり。でも、この問題は我が家にとっては他人事でもありません。今後ゆくゆくはマンションを購入することを考えている私達にとってもけっこう気になる今後の動向です。私の祖父は1級建築士でした。しかもどちらかというと職人気質の。じいちゃんがこんなニュースを聞いていたら嘆いていただろうなと思うと同時に、購入時に相談できる信頼おける業界人が身近にいないのは本当に残念だと思います。今後、何をどう信じて一生の買い物をすればいいんだろうね？？When I turn on the news, all I see on it is about the problems concerning earthquakes proof mansions.For us too, it's not a problem just for the ones involved in it now.In the near future, we too, are thinking about buying a mansionof our own. So the conclusions of this problem is something we areinterested in.My grandpa was a first class architect. He was a meister like architect,too.If my grandpa was here and heard about this, he would be mad.At the same time, it's too bad we can't consult a professional whomwe can trust.What can we trust when we are shopping for our life??

我が家の呼び名
私達は結婚する前もあまり名前で呼び合ったことはなかったけれど、結婚してからはそれ以上に名前で呼ぶことがありません。私はhiroro（ニックネーム）と呼ぶし、私は逆になぜか「奥様」と呼ばれています。だから、たまに名前で呼ばれるとなんかくすぐったいというか、変なカンジ！この呼び名、子供ができたらやっぱり変わるのかな？！We hardly called eachother by our real first names before we got married. But this is still continuing after we got married,too. I call him, "hiroro(nickname)" and he calls me "Okusama(meaning Mrs. in Japanese)". Sometimes I'm called by my real first name and the sound of it is a bit ticklish and feels weird,too. I wonder the way we call ecahother will change after we have kids?!

昨夜は泥のように眠ったせいか？！頭が真っ白で、今朝の寝起きも珍しくいい！なんか心身共にリセットされたようなすがすがしさ。月曜日の出だしがこんなカンジだと、やっぱ気持ちがいいよね。今週はなんか頑張れそう～。Maybe because I slept alot last night?!My head is all blank and I was very good at getting up this morning.It feels like I've been resetted both physically and mentally.It feels very good to start Monday like this.I think I can carry out the rest of the week well.

募るイライラ...
最近精神的に疲れてるせいで、ささいなことでもすぐイライラしてしまいがち。今日もちょっとしたイライラの反動で、机をたたいたら自分の思っていた以上に力が入っていて...思わず「いたぁ～」と声をあげてしまった。あまりの痛さに今、湿布を貼ってます。（涙）珍しくやり場のない怒りだったので、我を忘れてしまいました。トホホ...今後はこういう自暴自棄にはくれぐれも気をつけなくては...Recently, I'm a bit worn out mentally.So sometimes small things just annoy and irritate me alot.Today, something annoyed and irritated me and I banged my fist on the desk.But I banged it harder than I thought.And it hurt so bad that I couldn't resist saying "Ouch!".Because it hurts bad, I have a cold pack on my fist.Because it was an anger that I couldn't blame anyone for,I just forgot myself.I must be careful acting like this from now on.

静かに過ごす？！
なんか今週は精神的にどっとお疲れ！今週末はあんまり動き回らず、静かに過ごします。さぁ、ほんとに動きまわらず静かに過ごせるかな？！（苦笑）私をよく知る人ならば、↑の疑問の意味がわかることでしょう。（笑）I'm mentally tired out this week.So this weekend, I'll spend it quietly.But will I actually spend it quietly?!Those who know me well, you know waht I mean,right?!

訃報続き
やはり寒くなると体調を崩したりするケースが増えるのか？！師走が近づくに連れ、気持ちもせわしくなり、事故を起こしやすくなるのか？！今週は友人に続き、親戚にも不幸がありました。最後に会った時はあんなに元気だったのに！？と思うと突然過ぎてピンときませんね。今週は年齢なんか関係なく、明日はわが身かも？！って死を身近に感じずにはいれない1週間でした。ご冥福を祈ると共に、後悔せぬよう、毎日やりたいことをやって一生懸命生きなきゃいけないと痛感するのでした。When the cold winter season comes around, maybe there aremany cases of ones getting very sick?!As December comes around, everyone is busy so maybe there are many car accidents?!This week, not only my friend passed away but my relative had passedaway,too.The last time I had met them, they were so fine.They were so fine, that it's still hard to believe that they had passed away all of the sudden.This week, I felt very close to death.It made me think no matter how old one is, it might be me next,too.As I pray for the dead, I think one must live one's life at the fullest everyday, so one can end it's life without any regret.

こたつでも、あと五分！
あと五分！これをやるとあとが大変だから、なるべく意を決して起きるようにしているけど...最近布団の中ではなく、こたつの電気を毎朝入れる際にちょっと温まろうと思いつつ...ついついやっちゃんだよな。あと五分！やはり私は冬はどうやら本当にダメなようです。（涙）Only 5 more minutes!If I do this, I'll be late for work, so I try hard to wake upwhen the alaram clock goes on.But now not only do I do this in bed, but I do this when I'm in our kotatsu when I turn it on in the morning.I just can't help saying "Just 5 more minutes!"I guess I'm really not a winter person, am I?!

米国旅行計画
おととい、悲しい知らせを実家の母から聞きました。私達が父の転勤で米国在住中に家族ぐるみで付き合っていた米国人家族のお母さんが交通事故で他界したという知らせでした。この家族、うちの妹と同級生の子がいたのと家が真向かい同士だったということもあり、子供たちはまるで兄弟のように育ちました。もちろん帰国してからもそんな家族ぐるみの付き合いは変わることはありませんでした。まだ55歳という若さと突然の事故での他界で、未だに信じられません。これを機に彼女の墓参りと乳癌で闘病中の米国人の友人にも会いに行くことを決めました。日米間、そうはいっても遠いのでそんなにめったにいけません。今まで闘病中がゆえに、会いにいくことで最後になってはという思いもあり、ためらってきましたがやはり後悔しないうちに会いたいという気持ちが今回の訃報で強まりました。行くとしたら仕事の都合で春になっちゃうけど、今から行くための貯金や計画を徐々に始めたいと思っています。Day before yesterday, my mom called me and told me a sad news. The mother of our family friend, when we lived in the U.S. had been killed in a car crash. This family had a girl who was my sister's age and we lived just across from eachother,too. So, us children grew up as sisters and brothers. Ofcourse, our family friendship were still continuing although we returned to Japan. She was only 55 when she died. And because she was so young and it was all happened too suddenly, we just can't believe it! I want to visit her grave and give my prayers as well as visit another good friend of ours, who is fighting against breast cancer. Because Japan and the U.S. is far in distance, it's not very easy to travel and make a visit. I wasn't able to make my decision to visit the U.S. because I was too afraid, if I visit my friend who is fighting against breast cancer, it'll be our last meeting. But I don't want to regret that I didn't visit her, even if I could of. So I decided to make this trip possible. Because I'm working now, I won't be able to get a long holidays till spring. But while I wait for spring to come, I'll save up some money and make my plans to travel.

引出しの中のサプライズ～♪
今朝、いつものように文房具を取り出そうと机の引出しを開けると...そこにはちいさな透明の袋に入ったお菓子（飴やチョコ）がありました。そして、小さな付箋で「○○さんへ ××より」と貼ってありました。実は隣の机の先輩がこっそり私にくれたのでした。小粋なサプライズに朝からニコニコ！お礼をいうと、「いつもよく働いてくれるから」とのこと。こういうことされちゃうと、単純なんで断然仕事にもやる気を出しちゃう私。（苦笑）今日も1日、頑張るぞ～♪When I opened my desk drawer to take out my pen as usual,I found some candies and chocolates in a small see through bag.It said, 「To○○ From××」It was a surprise present from my elder co-worker, who issitting next to me.Because of this surprise, I can't take off a smile from my face.When I thanked her, she told me, "It's because you work so hard!"Because I'm a simple person, if something like this happens,it makes me want to work hard.Ofcourse I'll work hard today!

こたつで昼寝
最近寒さが増してきていることもあり、家にいるとほとんどこたつに入りっぱなし。なんなんでしょうね。一度入るとなかなか出れないですよね。（苦笑）そして、最近ついついやってしまうことは気づいたらこたつで寝てしまうこと。しかもテレビも電気もつけっぱなし！これは本当にやめなきゃね。だって風邪ひいちゃうものね。It has been getting cold recently. So when I'm at home, I'm usually sitting in our kotatsu. I don't know what it is, but once you sit in the kotatsu, I just can't get out! What I do recently is that I take a nap in our kotatsu. And I usually have the TV and the lights on,too! I really have to get out of this habit because I'll catch a cold.

すっかり元気！
昨日はすっかりのんびり、まったりできました。日頃の疲れも取れてすごく体調がすっきりして、軽い気がします。寝違えた首はまだ少し痛むけど、今週もあと二日だからすごく気楽！（笑）休日が近づくにつれて元気ハツラツ！？（笑）I spend a relaxing day yesterday. I rested well and my body feels light today. Although my neck still hurts a bit, only 2 more days to go! As weekend comes closer, I think I become more energetic.

寝違えた！？
今朝起きたら、ちゃんとコーヒーはできていたが...首が...首が...なんかイタイ！左は向けても、右は向けない！どうやら久々に寝違えたようです。（涙）寝相の悪さが覗えますね。（苦笑）さすがに今日は首が痛いから、寝相良くして寝れるかな？！When I got up this morning, coffee was made butmy neck hurts.I can turn my neck to the left, I can't turn my neck to theright.I think I twisted my neck wrongly when I was sleeping.You can imagine how bad I toss around in my bed.Maybe I won't toss around in my bed much because my neck hurts today.

のんびり祝日
今日は祝日。週のど真ん中が祝日で休みだと、1週間が短く感じられるのですごくうれしいな～♪今日は夕方からhiroroは都内で同業者達との飲み会です。今日は夕飯も思いきり手抜きができるから、1日のんびり過ごしましょう～♪Today is a holiday. When a holiday comes in a middle of the week, it makes me happy because it feels like a week will pass by faster. This evening, hiroro is going out to dinner with his fellow researchers in Tokyo. So I can cook a simple dinner for myself today. I guess I'll take things easy today.

11月22日「いい夫婦の日」
最近はデパート商戦の策略でいろんな記念日が作られています。本日、11月22日「いい夫婦の日」もその一つ。先週末、お歳暮を買いに行った時にもデパートの内はお歳暮、いい夫婦の日とクリスマス商戦一色でした。その時、私が「いい夫婦の日」をアピールしてみたが、見事にhiroroの耳を素通りしていました。ところが、今夜驚くべきことが！？いつものように夕飯を食べに研究室から一時帰宅したhiroro。なんと、手にはケーキの箱が！「どうしたの？？」と尋ねると、「今日はいい夫婦の日だから、お土産ね。僕たち、いい夫婦でしょ。」思いもよらぬサプライズに今日は本当に感激してしまいました。結婚してからの1年半ちょい、楽しいことよりもしんどいことの方が多かった結婚生活。でもこういう小さくて、ささやかな幸せがあるからしんどくても乗り切ろうとか頑張ろうとか思えるのかも知れませんね。来年はもっといい夫婦になれてるかな？！Recently, many departments make original events and anniversaries topromote many sales.Today, November22 is one of them and it's "happy married couples day".Last weekend, when we went to the department store to buy winter season gifts, department store was promoting sales for winter greeting gifts, happy married couples day and christmas.When we were there, I tried to make an appeal about "happy married couples day". But he wasn't listening at all.And tonight, there was a surprise!hiroro came home just to eat dinner as usual.But in his hand, there was a box of cake.I asked him,"What is that??"He replied back, "Today is happy married couples day, so this isa souvenir. We are happy married couple."Because I didn't expect this kind of surprise at all,it was really touching.It has been a year and about 7months or so, since we got married.There were more hardships than fun times.I think maybe we can overcome our hardships of our married life, because there are some small happinesses like this one.Can we be more happy married couple next year?!

NGやっちゃったよ：コーヒーメーカー編
今朝もまたやっちゃったよ。朝からNG!コーヒーメーカーのコーヒーを飲もうと思ったら...あれ？！コーヒーできてない！電源が入っていることを確認もして、なんで？？そして気づいた。コーヒーメーカーの給水に水が入ってなかったことを！いそいそと給水して、気を取り直してコーヒーを作り直し。こんなNGばっか繰り返してると、近いうちにコーヒーメーカー壊しちゃうんじゃないかと内心ヒヤヒヤしています。（苦笑）I did it again! I had a NG this morning.I wanted to drink my morning coffee but there's no coffee ready!I checked to see if the AC was on and it was on.Why??Then I realized that I didn't pour any water in the coffee maker.I quickly poured some water and made my coffee again.I'm a bit afraid that if I continue my NGs like this one,my coffee maker will break soon.

ささやかな幸せ～♪
昨日からやっと職場の暖房が入ったものの、やはり通勤中は寒い。帰宅する頃には身体の芯まで冷え切っています。帰宅して一目散にすることは部屋の暖房を入れ、お風呂のお湯を入れること。まずはお風呂で冷えきった身体を解凍しないと、夕飯を作る気にもなれません。温まりながら、お風呂に入ってボッ～とするのが今は私のささやかな至福の時だったりしています。Although my office turned its heater on, it's still very cold when I commute. By the time I come home, my body is frozen. So the first thing I do when I come home is to turn on the heater and make a hot bathtub for myself. I don't feel like cooking dinner until I defrost myself in a hot bathtub . My petit happiness is to warm myself in a hot bathtub and just make my head blank.

うれしい再会
昨日は幼稚園の頃の幼馴染、女王様（HNよ！）が遊びにやってきました。以前ここでも書いた通り、1ヶ月程前にネット上で劇的な再会を果たした私達。再会をすごく楽しみにしていたので、朝からわくわく、そわそわ。久々に会うなり、二人で互いに互いの顔を見て、「昔の面影がそのまま残ってるよ」と再会できて満面の笑み！それからhiroroを紹介し、お互いの家族の現在の写真を見せ合いして話しをしたり。うちの妹くんの成長ぶりに彼女は一番驚いていたかも知れません。だって、当時妹くんは3、4歳だったので。その後ご飯を食べてはしゃべり、お茶を飲んではしゃべり。もうひたすら色々なことを互いに話しました。本当に時が経つのを忘れて話し込んだのはいつ以来だろうと思うくらい。でも、一番うれしかったのはあの頃のまんまの彼女だったということ。私もあの頃のまんまだねと言われましたが...（笑）hiroroが私達の子供の頃の話しを聞いて、「二人とも子供の頃は相当やんちゃ娘達だったのね。」と後で言われましたが...（苦笑）この偶然の再会で復活した幼い頃からの友情は、今後一生続いていくことでしょう。Yesterday my childhood friend,Jyouousama(By the way, it's internet name) from kindergarden days came to visit me.As I have written here before, we had a dramatic reunion on the internet.I was very happy about this reunion, so I was very excited about it this morning.As we reunited, we looked at each other and said to one another,"You still have that resemblence in you from those kindergarden days." with a big smiles.Then I introduced hiroro to her and we both showed the recent photosof our families. I think she was surprised to see how grown up my sister became because last time we played, my sister was only 3 or 4 years old.Then we ate and talked. We had cups of coffees and teas and we talked. We talked about many things. I can't remember the last time I had talked on and on without noticing how many hours had gone by.But what made me really happy was it was the same little girl that I had known many many years ago.She said the same about me,too.Later hiroro said to me after listening to our childhood stories, "You two were really mischievious little girls, weren't you??"Anyways, our childhood friendship that had coincidentally reunited us once again will be a friendship for life.

子供の頃の好奇心：ヤクルト編
今日は幼稚園時代の幼馴染に再会するということでその頃のお話しを一つ。私は子供の頃から好奇心旺盛な子供でした。ある日、その好奇心がそそり、いつもおいしく飲んでいるヤクルトはどうしてあんなに小さいんだろうと思いました。そして、ある日、冷蔵庫からこっそりヤクルトを全部出してきて、一番大きなコップに移して飲んでみました。今でもあの時のしつこい甘さが忘れられないくらいまずかった！当時の教訓、やっぱりヤクルトはミニサイズが一番ね！そしてそれが母にばれ、ものす～ごく怒られた記憶だけが今でも残っています。Since I'm having a reunion with my childhood friend from kindergarden, I'll tell you a little story of me, when I was in kindergarden. When I was a little girl, I was always full of curiosity. One day, I was curious to why Yakult that I always loved to drink, came in such a small package. So one day, I secretly took a whole pack of Yakults from the refrigerator and poured it into big glass. I still remember the terribly sweet taste of Yakult in my mouth. I learned my lesson that Yakult tastes alot better when it comes in a small package. And my mom found this out, and she got very angry with me. That memory, I remember well.

待ちに待った再会
先日日記にも書いたとおり、私には先日ネットを通じて再会した幼稚園時代の幼馴染がいます。その名も女王様。ちなみにこれは彼女のHNなんですが...（笑）今日はいよいよ20数年ぶりの再会で、明日我が家に遊びにきます。再会してからメールはもちろん、電話でも随分話しをしました。しかし、不思議なことに空白の時間がなかったかのように話しができるのはやはり幼馴染がゆえのことなのでしょうか？？彼女いわく、私の今の写真を見せたら昔の面影がそのまんま残っているとのこと。明日は長年の積もり積もった話しが一気に開花しそうです。As I wrote in my diary before, I had reunited with a childhood friend from my kindergarden days through the internet. Her name is Jyousama(meaning Queen in Japanese). By the way, it's her internet name. It has been 20 years or so, since we have last parted and she is coming over to our house for our reunion tommorow. Of course after our reunion, we have e-mailed and talked to eachother on the phone,too. It's strange but we can talk as if there were no time loss between us. Is it maybe because we're childhood friends?? According to her, when I showed her my recent photos, I haven't lost the resemblence of a little girl that she had once known. We 're going to talk on and on and on, so that we can catch alot up!

？？？バトン
楽天友達のVivi&Carkさんから「もし、あなたがアメリカで暮らす事になったら何を一番やりたいですか？」というフリー？バトンが回ってきました。やりたいことはたくさんあるけど、一番やりたいことは福祉が日本よりもはるかに進んでいる米国で、きちんとアニマルセラピーの勉強がやってみたいと思います。それはアメリカでしか得れないものだから。あとは旅行好きとしては全米の全州制覇かな？！アメリカはやはり広い！まだまだ行ったことがない所がたくさんあるので、行ってみたいと思います。My Rakuten friend, Vivi&Cark had passed on a free question baton. Her question was "What do you most want to do, if you lived in the States?" There are many things I want to do. But what I want to do most is study animal therapy, because social welfare is more developed in the States than in Japan. It's something that I can only achieve in the States. And as a travel lover, I also want to go to all the states in the States. U.S. is big! There are still many places that I have not yet seen. That's why I want to go.

珍しく買い物デー
いつもショッピングセンターに行っても「見てるだけ～」とウィンドウショッピングの私達。今日は珍しく午後から買い物へ。でも、自分達の物を買い行くわけではありません。今日はそろそろ出回り始めたお歳暮を見に行きます。hiroroの職業柄、こういうことにはうるさい業界なんでスルーができません。（涙）ついでにクリスマスプレゼントの目星もつけてこようかな～。そんな楽しみくらいなきゃ、やってられないわ！When we go to the shopping mall, we are only "just looking"and we just window shop.Today we are going shopping this afternoon to buy, which is unusual.But we aren't going shopping to buy for ourselves.We are going shopping for winter greeting gifts.Because of hiroro's job and he is working in a field of job wheremanners are very important, we can't just let it slide by.I guess we'll also look for our christmas presents,too.I won't be able to bear it, if there's nothing to look forward to,too.

職場の暖房、かかったものの...
本来は来週の月曜日から職場の暖房が入る予定だったらしいのですが、あまりの寒さに昨日の午後から入りだしました。冷房の時期にはほとんど冷房が当たらない席だったので、暖房もさほど当たらないだろうと思いきや...今度は熱風がガンガンくるくる～。しばらく作業していると熱風でのぼせそうになります。寒すぎる環境も厳しいけれど...暑すぎるのもどうかと思います。ほんともう少し適度という言葉を労働環境に反映して欲しいなとつくづく思います。The heater of my office was supposed to be running from next Monday. But it had been so cold, that it started running from yesterday afternoon. During this summer, the AC was on but no cool breeze came to my seat, so I wasn't really looking forward to getting a warm breeze either. But I was wrong! Where I'm sitting, I get too much warm breeze! When I'm working at my desk, after a while I feel bit dizzy from the warm breeze. Too cold working environment is not good, but too warm working environment isn't too good either. I wish my office can reflect a word called "average" in my working environment.

大ボケ、今日も炸裂中～♪
こたつに入って温まろうと思い、こたつに入っていた。しかしぜんぜん温かくならないし、中のヒーターもついていない様子。中のスイッチを強にしてみたり、ヒーターが温かいか手で確認してみたり。でも一向に温かくならない。もしかして、こたつが壊れた？！と思っていた矢先にふっと気づいた。実はスイッチを「入」にしていなかったことを！今日も大ボケ炸裂中～♪（苦笑）I wanted to get warm, so I got myself into the kotatsu.But it seems like it's not getting warm at all and the heater isn'ton.I turned the temperature setting to "strong" and I also touched theheater to see if it's on.But it's not getting any warmer.I thought maybe our kotatsu broke down and then I realized something.I realized the main switch of the kotatsu wasn't on at all!My NG switch is "ON" as usual.

福祉のはなし
私は昔、祖父の看護をきっかけに2年程民間老人ホームの事務員として働いていたことがありました。事務員といっても、書類作りだけではなく、薬の管理や病院への付き添い、ヘルパーさんの人手不足の時はもちろん現場でヘルパーさん同様の仕事もやらなくてはいけませんでした。でも、元々性格的にも福祉の仕事に向いていたのでしょう。さほどしんどいと思いませんでした。むしろ、お年寄りと接することから学ぶことも多く、いい経験になりました。その頃の上司が偶然にも現在、都内の民間老人ホームのえらいさんとして働いています。昨夜もアニマルセラピーの勉強やその後の可能性について相談したところ、人手不足の話しになりました。この職種は本当に向き、不向きがはっきりしている職種なんで人の入れ替わりが多い職種でもあります。そこで、出てきたのが「ガイドヘルパー」の話し。来年から福祉に関する法律が大幅に改正されます。その為、資格保持者でなければ福祉関連の仕事に携われないということが法的にもはっきり定まります。そもそもガイドヘルパーは何かといいますと、普通のヘルパーと違い、視覚障害者、聴覚障害者、認知症や難病障害者、障害者をも介護できるヘルパーのことをいいます。このヘルパーはまだまだ少なく、ガイドヘルパーの勉強をすればアニマルセラピーが活躍する幅が大いに広がるとアドバイスをくれました。昨日、初めて聞いたのでこれから調べてみないとわからないけれど、またこれでやりたいことの幅が大きく広がったような気がします。I used to work at an office of private nursing home for about 2 years. Looking after my grandpa who was then very ill made me go into this career. Working in an office of a nursing home doesn't mean just sitting all day making documents. I had to check all the medications of the elders, go to the hospital with them, and I also had to work in the home when there were no home helpers to take care of the elders,too. Maybe working for the field of social welfare fit my personality. It didn't really bother me much about working at the nursing home. In fact, I liked it. I had learned alot from working with the elders and I think I had great experiences from it,too. Now my ex-boss works at a private nursing home in Tokyo as a head boss. Recently, I had consulted with her about studying animal therapy and so on. When we were talking, she told me that she was running out of employees. Working for this job really shows if you really fit working in it or not. And it's common that many quit,too. We talked about "Guide Helpers". Next year, the laws for social welfare in general will be renewed. So from next year, the law will be strict and you have to be certified to work in the field of social welfare.What is guided helpers?? It's a helper 's job including deaf, blind, Althheimer, and other physical disabilities and uncommom diseases.My ex-boss gave me a advice that there are too few guided helpers now, so if I study both animal therapy and guided helpers, it'll broaden the fields of job. It was the first time I had heard about it, so I'll have to look into it. But I'm so excited that it'll broaden up my thoughts toward animal therapy.

寝坊だけど、なんとかセーフ！
今朝、また地震がありました。ちょうど昨日同様、6時半前後だったのでその頃、目覚まし代わりに起きておけばよかったんですが...迷いなく「まだ起きるのは早い」と心でつぶやき、二度寝！そして、ハッ！と起きたら...8時15分前。もうチャリでもバスでも間に合わない！今日は開き直って、hiroroに車で送ってもらうことにしました。（苦笑）今日は余裕でセーフかな？！There was another earthquake this morning.It occured around just before 6:30AM like yesterday.If I woke up when the earthquake occured, I wouldn't be in a morning panic.But I said to myself with hesitation, "It's too early to get up"and I went back to sleep again.And the next time I woke up...It was 15 minutes before 8AM.There's no way that I'll make it to work by my bike or bus.So I decided to ask hiroro to drive me to work today.I guess I'll make it to work alright!

縁結びのお守り
昨夜、実家の妹から電話がありました。先日、妹に出した手紙が届いたらしい。来月、妹の彼氏が家族に会いに来日し、実家に2週間ほど滞在します。実家の近所に住んでいたら私達も会うことができるのですが、あいにく私達も仕事があり、会いに帰省することもできません。私達の気持ちということで、遠距離恋愛中の二人のご縁が続きますようにという願いを込めて、二人におそろいの縁結びのお守りを送りました。実はそのお礼の電話だったのです。私も昔、遠距離恋愛をしていました。だから、遠距離恋愛中の二人の気持ちがわかります。家族としても、二人を応援しているよという気持ちが伝わればいいなぁ～。Last night, my sister called me. She received my letter. Next month, my sister's boyfriend will be visiting my family and will be staying with them for about 2 weeks. If we lived near my family home, we would be able to meet him. But we can't go home because we're both working. We sent my sister a little present for her and her boyfriend. We sent them a paired love charms that we got from a nearby shrine, with our wish that they will stay together although they live far apart now. She called me to thank us for our thoughts. When I was younger, I used to have a long distance relationship,too. So I can understand about being in love with someone living far away. I hope that they can understand that as a family, we support their relationship.

地震に津波...
今朝、寝ていたらまた地震。1ヶ月程前も多かったけど、ある時を境にパタリと無くなりまた10日程前からまたちょくちょく地震がありました。でも、最近は震度3クラスにはすっかり慣れたのか？！あまり同様はしなくなりました。慣れは怖い！今朝、起きていつものようにテレビをつけたら...津波注意報発令中！と地図が出ていました。幸い、私達は内陸に住んでいるので津波とは無縁だけど、津波があればまた大きな地震があるかも知れないと思うと少し不安。今日はしまっていた防災リュックを出しておいてでかけようっと。When I was sleeping this morning, there was an earthquake.There were many earthquakes about a month ago.But one day, it stopped. And about 10 days ago or so, earthquakes began again.But recently, I have gotten used to earhquake magnitude 3 andI'm not too scared anymore. Getting used to things are scary!When I got up and turned on the TV as usual, there was a map ofcautions of Tsunami on TV.Fortunately, we live in the inner land, so we have nothing to do with Tsunami.But I fear a bit that if there are Tsunamis, then there might be a bigger earthquakes,too.I better take out the emergency backpacks that I had made fromour closet before I go to work.

ウォームビズ？！
ここ1週間ほどの間にずいぶん寒さが増しました。まだ暖房設備の大元がオンになるまで1週間あります。そこでとうとう昔なつかしの白い筒型のストーブが二台登場しました。幸いなことにストーブの1台は私の斜め後ろに設置されたので、これでなんとか寒さをしのぎながら仕事ができそうです。今年からウォームビズらしいけど、少しは働きやすい環境にしてくれないと、みんな風邪ひいちゃうよね。It has been getting cold for the past week or so. Because the heating system will not be turned on until next Monday, 2 old fashioned white round stoves came out. Luckily, one of them was set right behind me. So it'll keep me warm enough to work. My office started warm biz from this winter. But if they don't keep us in a comfortable working environment, we'll all catch a cold!

初はとバスツアー
昨日は私達を含む男女6人で都内のはとバスツアーに出かけました。東京には今まで住んでいたこともあるけれど、東京タワーに行ったこともなければ、はとバスになんか乗ったことがありません。友人の企画でもなければ、おそらく一生参加することはなかったでしょう。昨日参加したのは「東京今昔物語」といって都内の古い観光名所と新しい観光名所を巡るツアーでした。皇居、靖国神社、浅草、お台場、六本木ヒルズを散策しました。皇居周辺では、今月15日に紀宮様のご成婚があるので、厳戒な警備体制が敷かれていたと同時に騎馬兵の予行演習や皇居の衛兵の交代などを偶然にも見ることができました。靖国神社では青空骨董市が開催されており、浅草では浅草寺や仲見世通りを散策し、老舗の天麩羅屋さんでおいしい天麩羅を食べました。お台場ではウィンドウショッピングを楽しみ、六本木ヒルズでは展望台と森美術館などを見学しました。けっこう時間的にはなかなかハードで見たいものがすべて見れたわけではなかったけど、みんな、すっかり遠足気分！友人の一人が誕生日だったということでお祝いあり、男どもの恒例はとバスガイドチェックありなどなど、和気藹々としていてすごく楽しかったです。友人のデジカメで写真をたくさん撮ったのですが、けっこうおもしろい写真がありました。次回はこのメンバー＋数名でコッテージを借りて忘年会（鍋パーティー）という企画が既にあり、それもそれで楽しみです。Yesterday, we went on a Hato Bus Sightseeing tour of Tokyo with our friends. I had lived in Tokyo before, but I have never been to Tokyo Tower nor a sightseeing tour of Hato Bus. If it wasn't for one of our friend's plan, we would never had a chance to join the Hato Bus sightseeing tour of Tokyo. Today's tour was called "Tokyo Story of Old and New". We visited old and new sightseeing spots of Tokyo. We went to the Imperial Palace, Yasukuni Shrine, Asakusa, Odaiba and Roppongi Hills. Because there will be Princess Norinomiya's wedding ceremony on this coming 15th, it was strictly guarded and we were lucky to see Horse Guards practicing for the soon to be held ceremony,too. When we visited Yasukuni Shrine, there were outdoor antigue show. At Asakusa, we walked around Sensouji Temple and Nakamise Street. We ate delicious Tempura at a famous Tempura restaurant in Asakusa. At Odaiba, we enjoyed window shopping. At Roppongi Hills, we enjoyed the clear view of Tokyo area ftom the observatory floor and visited Mori Art Museum,too. Although the tour made us hurry alot and we weren't able to see everything, we were like kids on a field trip. One of our friends had his birthday yesterday, so we all celebrated it and there was also bus guide check with the guys and etc. It was really fun. We took many photos, funny ones on our friend's digital camera. Next time, we are having an end of the year nabe party with these friends and other friends at a rental cottage. That's something we're looking forward to next.

新酒の季節
日本酒好きにはたまらない新酒の季節になりました。昨日はドライブ兼ねて、午後から行きつけの酒蔵へ。目的は新酒の酒粕。酒粕はこの時期にしか入手できません。スーパーで売ってるものとは違って、酒蔵の酒粕はぶ厚く、酒が濃縮されていて、おいしい。しかも500gが300円あたりと安い。しばらくは酒粕を使って粕汁やそのまま、網で焼いて、砂糖をつけて食べたりと酒粕をしばらく堪能できそうです～♪ちなみに新酒の出荷は今週前半だそうです。To Japanese sake lovers, it's a season of new Japanese sake. So yesterday afternoon, we drove to the Japanese sake maker that we always go to. The purpose of our visit is new season's Japanese Sake Kasu(Japanese sake scums). You can only buy Japanese Sake Kasu during this season. Compared to Japanese Sake Kasu sold in supermarkets, Japanese Sake Kasu sold in Japanese Sake Kasu is thick, full of alcohol and delicious! And 500g is about ￥300 is relatively cheap,too. We eat it by making Japanese Sake Kasu soup or bake it on the net, put some sugar on it and eat it. I think we can enjoy delicious Japanese Sake Kasu for a while. By the way, new Japanese Sake will be out in the beginning of this week.

苦手な食べ物：りんご編
昨日の職場で出たおやつ、それはりんごの差し入れでした。実は私はりんごが...大嫌い！あの触感がなんか子供の頃から苦手！アップルパイとかは平気なんですけどね。（苦笑）たまたま仕事が立て込んでいて、りんごが剥かれて各自に配れていることに気づかなかった私。先輩に「色が変わる前に食べちゃわないとダメよ。」と言われて気づいたぐらい。そこに2切れ置いてあってびっくり！先輩いわく、今週前半は風邪で顔色が相当悪かったらしく、「りんごを食べて栄養つけなきゃダメよ。」と追いうちをかけるような一言。せっかくむいてくれて、心配もしてくれている...そう思うと「りんごがキライ」とは言えなくなってしまった小心者の私。嫌いだとは言えないまま...1切れはなんとか頑張って食べたものの、もう一切れは「すみません。もう一切れはお腹いっぱいで食べれなくなっちゃんたんで、お一ついかがですか？」と隣に振ってみた。そしたら気持ちよく食べてくれたので、なんとかその場を乗り切りました。たかがりんごだけど、キライな食べ物だと本当につらいよなぁ～。Yesterday's snack in our office was an apples. It was apples that someone brought in for all of us in the office. To tell you the truth, I hate apples. I hate the bite of the apples since I was a little girl. But I like apple pies. Because I was too busy working on my own, I didn't notice that a piece of apples were given out to everyone. I didn't notice my apple until my elder colleague told me, "You better eat your apples before they turn into a bad color."And I looked at my apples with a surprise because there were 2 pieces of apple. My elder colleague told me that I looked very pale since I had a bad cold in the beginning of the week and she told me, "Eat up! So that you can get over your cold." Because I knew that she had peeled the apples for everyone and she was also worried about me, I felt too bad and a coward to say,"I hate apples." So I tried really hard to eat a piece. But the I couldn't eat two. So I offered it to a person sitting next to me by saying, "Ah, would you like my apple because I'm a bit full right now?" And she said alright and ate my apple. I was able to slide by my apple incident somehow. It's only an aplle, but when it's something you hate, it's just really irritating.

自分のペース
アニマルセラピーの勉強を始めたのはいいけれど、毎晩、心理学の本や動物行動学の本を読むのに追われています。大学を出てから、専門書とは無縁の生活をしていたので徐々に消化していかないとなかなか読み進みません。それに机に仕事以外で長時間向かうということも昔ほどできない。それでもこんなことにめげずに自分のペースで頑張るぞ～☆It's good that I started to study animal therapy.But every night, I have to read about psycology and animal behaviors.But after I got out of college, I had been away from readingbooks in an area of a certain studies.So I have to read it slowly, so that I can understand it.And besides my working hours, it's a bit hard to sit by thedesk to actually study,too.But I'll just keep on studying at my pace!

もう金曜日！
今週はなんかやらなきゃいけないことが多かったせいか？！それとも日が短くなったので1日が早く過ぎるせいか？！それともただ単に医者から出された風邪薬を飲んでいて頭がボッーとしているせいか？！なんだか今週はあっーという間に金曜日になっちゃいました。ラスト1日、頑張ろう。Maybe it's because there was just too much to do this week?! or maybe a day seems to pass by so fast because the daylight is shorter?! or maybe I'm feeling a bit dizzy from taking my medications from the doctor to cure my cold?! Anyways, it's Friday already! One more working day to go, huh!?

クリスマス中止？！
昨日、hiroroのところにこんな迷惑メールがきたらしい。＊＊＊ 重要 ＊＊＊ クリスマス中止のお知らせ 2005年12月25日に開催予定のクリスマスは諸事情により中止になりました。 この決定により、クリスマスイブも中止ということになります。 中止、ならびにこの告知が遅れたことにつきまして、 楽しみにしておられた方々・関係者各位には謹んでお詫び申し上げます。これに乗じて、我が家も今年のクリスマスはパスしようかというので、すかさず「我が家では結婚記念日、誕生日とクリスマスは何年経ってもちゃんとやろうと結婚する時に決めたやろ～。それに君はクリスチャンやろ、ドミニク。」と待ったをかけた私。実はhiroroは義母が敬虔なクリスチャンだった為、幼児洗礼を子供の頃に受けたらしく、クリスチャン名を持っています。その名が「ドミニク」。我が家ではこの名前をhiroroの別名としてよく出てきます。もちろん、現在では教会とは無縁のなんちゃってクリスチャンなドミニクでありますが...（苦笑）私達自身は無宗教なので...あまりのすばやい反応にhiroroもきょとんとしてました。（笑）...っていうことで、もちろん我が家にはクリスマスはやってきます～♪しかしこんな迷惑メール、誰が発信するんでしょうね？？Yesterday hiroro received a spam e-mail.**********Important Notice*************No Christmas this year!There will be no Christmas on Dec.25,2005 due to many inconviniences.Because there will be no Christmas, there will also be no Christmas Eve this year. We are very sorry to inform you this in such a late notice and we are also sorry for those who are looking forward to this coming Christmas,too.Because of this notice, hiroro said maybe we should have no Christmas either. But I gave him a quick reply back and told him, "Before we got married, we promised that we'll celebrate our wedding anniversary, birthdays and Christmas even if we be come old.You're Christian, aren't you?,Dominic ." Because my mother-in-law was a Christian, hiroro was christened when he was a little boy. He also has a Christian name, "Dominic". This name,too is often used at our home. But he is no longer a real Christian, who doesn't go to church anymore. We don't really have a religion that we believe in. hiroro was surprised at my fast response. Ofcourse, we are having our Christmas this year! Anyways, I wonder who is sending such a dumb spam e-mail like this.

風邪、うつった？！
昨日まで風邪でダウンしていた私。まだ薬を飲みながらなんで、完全復活したわけじゃないけど、数日前に比べたらぜんぜん元気！しかし、今度はhiroroがいささか風邪気味な様子。いつの間にか私の風邪をうつしてしまったみたい。hiroro、ごめんよ！早くよくなってね。I had been sick from cold. I'm still taking my medications, so I'm not 100% well yet. But I'm feeling much better than few days ago. But now hiroro seems like he caught a cold. And I think I gave it to him,too. I'm sorry, hiroro. I hope you'll get better soon!

風邪から復活！
この2日間、風邪で完全KOでした。でも、十分過ぎるくらいの睡眠と昨日から飲み始めた病院の薬が効き始めたおかげで、今日からまた日常生活に復活です。しかし、本当によく寝たなぁ～。やっぱり寝るのが一番体力復活するね。For the past 2 days, I had been knocked out by a cold. Sleeping long hours and the medications that I had been taking seem to work on me, I feel alot better now and I'm back to my daily life again. I really slept well. I guess sleeping is the best way to get my physical strengths back.

病院の常連になる前に...
最近、体調不調で病院に行くことがけっこう多い。土曜日にもらった薬があまり効かず、昨日は1日寝ていたのにも関わらず、かなりしんどかったので今日も病院に行ってきました。今日は点滴と風邪薬の変更。薬はもっと強いものになりました。病院の常連になる前にもっと体力をつけて、健康体にならなくては...（涙）Recently, I had been sick alot.So I go to the hospital alot,too.The medications that I got wasn't making me feel any betterand although I was sleeping all day yesterday, I wasn't gettingany better at all. So I went to the hospital again,today.Today I got medical dripping shot and my prescriptions for my coldmedications changed in to more stronger medications.Before I become a frequent patient of the hospital, I must have more physical strengths and a healthy body conditions.

珍しく風邪でKO!
地味に職場で流行していた風邪にとうとうKOされてしまいました。おとといの夜から喉がイガイガしたので、元々扁桃腺の弱い私は用心をして昨日の午前中に病院へ行って薬をもらってました。でも昨夜から発熱、喉の痛み、咳がまともに出始めて今日はもうダウン。いつもなら風邪くらいでならば普通に起きる私。しかし、今日は起きれずに午前中はずっと布団の中。さすがになかなか起きれない私を見て、今日は家事はしなくていいから寝てなさいと珍しく言われた。その言葉に甘えて、今日はまたhiroroの調達してきたコンビニ弁当を食べて薬を飲んだら、もう一眠りさせてもらいます。今日1日でなんとか回復するといいな～☆I had been knocked out by the cold virus that was quietlygoing around in my office.2 nights ago, I had a very sore throat.Since I have a very weak throat in the first place, I wentto the hospital yesterday morning and got my medicines for thecold.But from last night, I had some fever, very thore throat and some coughs,too. And I had been knocked out by this cold.If it's just a cold, I usually get up.But today, I just couldn't get up and was in bed all morning.Since I couldn't get up this morning, hiroro got worried.He said to me, "Stay in bed! No housework today!"This was something very unsual.Anyways, I'll do what I had been told to do today.I'll go back to sleep after I eat some food that hiroro had broughtme back from the convinience store and take my medications.I hope that I'll be all well tommorow!

再会シリーズ：バイト仲間編
昨日はhiroroが仕事で別行動をしている間、久々に学生時代のバイト仲間に会いました。学生時代の四年間、私は都内の大型書店でバイトをしていました。きっかけは好きな本が割引価格で購入できるのと新刊がいち早く立ち読みできるという単純な理由からでした。しかし、バイト先もお堅い書店だったので一緒に働いていた仲間も結構真面目でまともな学生が多かったような気はします。久々に会う仲間はすっかり主婦をしていましたが、やはり話し始めると不思議とあの頃に戻ります。喫茶店で話をした後、私がアニマルセラピーや社会心理学に関する書籍を探したかったこともあり、二人で懐かしいバイト先へ。求人の張り紙を見て、求人の値段が昔より125円も上がったな！と二人で大苦笑！しました。無事に書籍も購入でき、大満足！そして私が書籍を購入する時に「うちらもこの子達みたいな事をしてたんやね」と言いながら、二人でまた苦笑！思い出を苦笑しながらも楽しい再会でした。今月はまだまだ再会シリーズが続きます。次回は先日ネットを通じて再会した幼馴染み、その次は仕事の師匠である、昔の職場の女性ボス。今から楽しみです。Yesterday evening, while hiroro was off to his business meeting, I had a little reunion with my old friend. She and I used to work together when we were in college. During my 4 years in college, I had a part-time job at one of the big bookstores in Tokyo. I decided to go out for this job for 2 simple reasons. One was that I loved books very much and I heard that I can get some dicount if I worked there. The other reason was that I would be able to read the latest books first in the store. And because the bookstore had a strict atmosphere, the college students who worked there had serious attitudes and were relatively normal,too. My friend that I met was already married and a housewife. But when we start talking, nothing much had changed and it brings us back to our days working together. After we talked over cups of coffee, we decided to stop by at the bookstore where we both used to work because I also wanted to look for some books on animal therapy and social psychology. We found an employment ad by the bookstore. We both laughed bitterly that a college part-timer's wage had been raised ￥125 than when we were working. Anyways, I was very satisfied to be able to find and buy my books. When I was buying my books, we both looked at each other again and laughed bitterly at what we,too had been doing as a part-timer at the bookstore. We probably used to look like these girls,too. Although we had laughed bitterly alot, we enjoyed our reunion. This month, there are more reunions to come! I'm looking forward to my reunion with my childhood friend that I reunited recently through the net and my ex-boss, who had been my mentor in the world of business from a woman's point of view. I'm really looking forward to seeing them!

心の余裕
今日の夕方、hiroroが都内で仕事のミーティングがあるというので、一緒に都内まで出かけることにしました。ミーティングの時間まで都内を一緒に散策して、hiroroが仕事をしている間、私は友達に会う予定。ここ最近、昔（東京在住時代）の友人達との再会が多い。住まいが以前より（昔は神戸だったんで...）都内に近くなったということと私自身も自分の時間を作れるようになったという心の余裕の表れかもしれませんね。再会も大事な出会いだから、ひとつひとつ大切にしなくちゃね～♪This evening, hiroro has a business meeting in Tokyo. So I decided to go to Tokyo with him. During the day, we'll just hang out in the city and while he is working, I'll meet my friend in town.Recently, I have alots of reunion with my old friends(Friends that I made when I was living in Tokyo.). It's because I live alot closer to Tokyo now(I lived in Kobe before) than before and now I have a time of my own. I think having a time of my own is a fact that I have a room in my heart. Reunion is also priceless, so I should treasure it.

Z カフェ
昨日、ドライブ中におもしろいカフェを発見しました。その名も「フェアレディーカフェ」。まだできて間もないようでした。二階建ての空間は二階はカフェで一階は日産フェアレディーZの初代モデルから現代モデルまで展示されているギャラリーでした。オーナーの日産フェアレディーZ好きがこうじて作った店らしいです。実は私の家族は、自家用車は日産派。父が日産のフェアレディーZやスカイラインが大好きということもあり、国産車ならば日産しか乗らないという環境で育ちました。しかし、現在我が家の愛車は三菱パジェロミニ。本当はうちの実家のスカイラインを譲り受けるはずでしたが、義母からhiroroがもらった唯一の義父の形見(義父が長期入院する間際まで乗っていた車でした）なので、現在はそれが本当に乗れなくなるまで乗り潰すつもり。それまで本当に乗りたい車はおあずけです。（苦笑）それに私自身も女性のわりには車に詳しく、車好き。そしてhiroroも車好き。それもあり、通りがかりだったのですが入ってみました。このカフェ、マイカップ制というのがあり、初回にカップ代（地元、笠間焼きのコーヒーカップで持ち帰りも可能）を払うとマイカップをキープできるシステムがありました。登録するとキーチェーンをもらい、それには番号が書いてあります。このキーチェーンを持参するとキープしていたマイカップで好きなコーヒーを飲めるというシステム。自宅から一時間弱のちょうど気分転換のドライブにはいい距離ということもあり、私達もマイカップをキープしてもらうことに。昨日は車好きな人のおもしろい話も聞けて、おまけに限定のフェアレディーＺのトミカももらいました。(笑)またちょっとした穴場が見つかり、うれしいな！Yesterday, during our drive, we found an interesting cafe. It was called "Fairlady Cafe". It seemed like a new cafe in town. The 2nd floor was cafe space and the 1st floor was a gallery of Nissan Fairlady Z. There were first model Fairlady Z to the modern day Fairlady Z. The owner of the cafe loves cars, especially Nissan Fairlady Z and he made a cafe. My family car is Nissan. Because my dad loves Nissan cars, especially Fairlady Z and Skyline, I grew up in an environment where our family cars had always been Nissan cars. Our car that we ride now is Mitsubishi Pajero Mini. We were supposed to get Nissan Skyline, my family car. But Pajero Mini was the only memorable item(It was a car that my father-in law rode until he was long hospitalized) of my father-in-law's that hiroro received from his mother. We are going to ride it until we can't ride it and until then, whatever we want to really ride will be put to hold. Anyways as for me, for a woman, I like cars and I think I also know alot about cars,too. hiroro also loves cars. Although we were just driving by, we decided to have a coffee break. This cafe had a my cup system. You pay for your favorite cup(It's Kasama ceramic coffee cup and you can also take it home if you want,too) and you can keep it at this cafe. When you resgiter for this, you get a keychain with a number printed on the back. Next time you come, you show your keychain and you can have a cup of coffee with the cup you had kept before. Because it's an less than an hour drive from home, also a good distance for a nice drive, we decided to have our cups kept at the cafe. We were able to listen to interesting stories of cars from other car lovers and we were given a limited version of Tomica FairladyZ, too. We were happy to find another favorite place of our own.

紅葉狩り
今日は「文化の日」の祝日でお休み！本当は木曜日ではなく、金曜日だったら３連休になるのに...それが少し残念だけど、休みはうれしい。久々に爆睡もできて、身体もすごく軽い！今日は天気もいいし、そろそろ紅葉も本格的に色づき始めてきたので、朝昼兼用のご飯を食べたら、ドライブ兼ねて紅葉狩りに行ってきます～♪Today is "Culture Day" and it's a holiday. I wish today was Friday instead of Thursday, then we would have a 3 days holiday instead. Anyways, it's nice to have a holiday! My body feels light because I was able to sleep well,too. Today is nice and sunny. The leaves are also beginning to turn colorful,too. So as soon as we eat our homemade branch, we're off for a drive to the nearby mountain to see the colored leaves.

hiroroの寝言
ここ最近、寝言が多いhiroro。先日も夜中に、ふっと隣で声がするので目を覚ましました。すると、hiroroが天井に向かって指差しながら...「あのお酒、入れてちゃいけないものが入っていたんだって。」と繰り返して言うのです。その日はたまたま日本酒を飲んでから寝たので、思わず「あの日本酒になんか悪いの、入ってた？」と尋ねると「違うよ。あれ。」と天井を指差して、そのままストン！と寝てしまいました。朝、起きてその話しをしても本人の記憶にはまったくないらしい。私はあれから何がなんだったんだか？！今もまだ少し気になったままであります。Recently hiroro sleep talks alot. The other night, in the middle of the night, I was woken up by a voice next to me. It was hiroro's voice. He was pointing at the ceiling and saying, "There was something in that liquor and in it, there was something that was not supposed to be in it." He would repeat saying this several times. That night before going to bed, we drank a bit of Japanese sake. So I asked him, "Was there something bad in that sake we drank before going to bed??" But he replied,"No! In there." and he pointed at the ceiling. Then he just fell straight back to his sleep. I told him what had happened the next morning, but he doesn't remember at all! As for me, I'm still curious and wonder a bit about what all that was about.

暦も寒さも11月
カレンダーももう11月！しかし、それ以上に寒さもすっかり11月！4月は頑張って6時起きをしていたけど...今は7時過ぎ。しかも日に日に布団から出るのが5分ずつ遅れている。（苦笑）今日からは職場でも私の友人が新しい仲間として働き始めます。今日から少しは気を引き締めなおして、寒さに負けず頑張ろう。The calendar is already November!But the coldness is already November,too.In April, I woke up at 6AM, but I wake up at little past 7AM now.But it seems like I'm getting up 5 minutes later every day.My friend is going to start working with me from today.Starting today, I'll try my best again with a new feeling.
