          Today is a sudden change from the cheerful early summer atmosphere to a cloudy and cool Monday. The temperature drop makes it a day better suited for warm clothing rather than light ones. I have decided to wear my light blue half-coat, whic

          Several years ago, I used to follow the "one meal a day" diet. Now, I have switched to three meals a day. During a recent blood test, I weighed myself and noticed an increase compared to last year. The doctor pointed out, "You seem to be ga

          Stumble at a railway crossing

          Although I told myself to be careful not to fall, I fell on my way back from the chiropractic clinic. It happened at the railway crossing step. Well, considering there was a major accident there in the past (though not recently), I'll just

          At the hair salon

          I had an appointment at the hair salon for a haircut and hair coloring. It took an hour and a half from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. I had a lively conversation with my usual hairstylist about caregiving. My mother has been hospitalized since
