It was a super busy and tiring day.
I woke up 5:20 a.m., and left for the grocery store. After I came back with a whole bunch of grocery for my family during my trip to Japan, I organized the food neatly in the refrigerator, the freezer, and the food cabinet.
I prepared breakfast for my daughter and escorted her to the school bus stop. After that, I cooked some stock foods for them for the week that I am away from them. I kept them in the freezer.
I made some phone calls with the travel agency and purchased a round trip airplane ticket to Japan departing tomorrow and coming back one week later.
I did some research about cell phone and Wifi that I can use during my trip. I decided to purchase a pocket Wifi that I can rent in Japan for one week. It was my first time to use the poket Wifi, so it took me some time to read through their procedure and prices.
In the early afternoon, I went to my daughter’s school to escort her to the library.
After came back home, for just one hour, I talked with my Japanese friend through the online chatting app. I mentioned her about my flu. I seldom catch a cold, but I recently caught a flu and just recovered from the symptom. My friend told me it was understandable. We have such an unexpected and huge discharge from our body as a part of process of life transition. I agree with her. I am facing at one of the baggiest life changing transitions.
After the conversation with my friend, I quickly drove to the library to pick my daughter up.
Then I cooked dinner for everybody.
After dinner, my family and I went for our regular exercise walk.
After the bath, I finally finished packing for the trip.
We all went to bed at 8 p.m., but nobody could fall asleep right away. We all were feeling nervous about my trip to japan. Since my daughter was born, I was never away from my family, even only one night. It will be totally new to all of us family of my leaving away from my family for one week.
My daughter and I cried for a while for feeling lonely and anxiety of missing each other.
At the same time though, we both knew we would be okay. We will grow mentally through this experience.
