Last night my family and I came back from the airport. When we finally arrived at home, it was close to midnight. I was eager to take a long bath. My daughter joined me. We got out from the bath and dried our hair completely. It was already past 2 a.m. when we finally went to bed.

It was so nice to sleep in my own bed with my family.

This morning my husband and daughter needed to wake up early for their work and school. After I saw them off, I could have gone back to bed to get some more sleep, but I didn’t. It was a nice sunny day. I went to the backyard and sat in the chair with my barefoot. I needed to earth myself from the long flights.

My morning and afternoon went by so quickly. I did laundry, unpacked my luggage and put the items to the appropriate places, wiped off the luggage, cleaned the house, and cooked dinner. I actually enjoyed all the chores. Doing something at my own house was refreshing.

In the evening I talked with my Japanese friend through LINE app. She had been a great support me mentally during my trip. Since she is my lifelong friend, she knows my parents since we were 11 years old. She is the only and best person who has known my life very well, and so, she has given me the appropriate advice and encouragements. Without her continuing support during my trip, I would have collapsed from sadness and stress.
I truly appreciate her friendship.
