Baba-san came to celebrate my birthday a day early, bringing a delicious bento lunch. I had a wonderful lunch with Sumie-san. For dinner, I also received some home-cooked side dishes prepared by her husband, Tsutomu-san. It was a heartwarming day thanks to this kind-hearted couple. Thank you very much. (Michiko)
It’s another cold day today. I have a regular appointment with the ophthalmologist. When I got home, I made a late lunch. I cooked a warm milk soup with green onions, cabbage, carrots, and bacon. (Michiko)
I don’t have a drum set at home. Until my next lesson, all I can do at home is practice by looking at the sheet music and imagining the rhythm. I do air drumming and mouth drumming. (Michiko)
It’s a cold, sunny day today. February is the coldest month of the year, a month of patience and hope, and it’s also our birth month. Thank you for telling me that I’m a treasure. (Michiko)
I made a warm cream stew with chicken, onion, carrot, pumpkin, and bell pepper. It’s a cold, rainy morning. Today is National Foundation Day, a national holiday. (Michiko)
I finally found and bought my favorite duster. It can quickly clean small decorations in the room, computer keyboards, and more. The fluffy material is made of wool and the handle is made of wood. When I hang it up, it feels like I have a beloved pet. (Michiko)
Warm sunshine in the morning. Cold, cloudy skies from noon onwards. I made ginger sake lees pudding. I poured rum over it. A cold dessert in a warm room. This is a natural immune support for these erratic winter temperatures. (Michiko)
February in Hawaii is often the month for storms and this weekend we have our first storm warning. on Friday night the south winds are supposed to get very strong and on Saturday through Monday the winds will shift to North, North East winds with heavy rain and possible thunderstorms. The North Shore of all the islands has a high surf warning and on Oahu the waves are predicted to get over 30 feet, 10 meters high. Oahu is now under a flood warning until Monday. Many of the tourist boats have already canceled. A normal part of February!
