Busy Tuesdays 9/26/2023

It was a busy day. I helped my daughter on her understanding of math. Right after that, we had a zoom meeting with her homeroom teacher. In the early evening I took her to the coding club.

In the night finally I had my own to study the homeopathy course lectures.

Tuesdays are always busy with lots of chores.

Preparation for an IUL for my mom-in-law 9/25/2023

During our last visit, my mom-in-law showed her interest in purchasing an IUL. I started creating some illustrations for her case. As a starter, this morning I woke up early so that I could talk with the insurance company workers over the phone. The workers are in the area where the time is 3 hours ahead of us. I noticed if I call them at 6 a.m. in my time, it is their 9 a.m., and they are still nice and helpful.

My mom-in-law currently has a term life insurance that will be expired on next month, and she wants to purchase an IUL newly with larger death benefit.

After I talked with a worker of the insurance company, I had some good ideas on which products I should advice to my mom-in-law.

Catching up with the lectures 9/24/2023

I finally felt normal health by getting rid of the sleepiness and tiredness from the long drive and the trip.

I hurried up watching some homeopathy lectures that was released during my trip. Even though my mom-in-law pays around $200 monthly fee for the internet service, their internet connection is not good at all, so that I cannot watch the lectures and videos there.

Seminar for Japanese people living abroad 9/23/2023

I attended the online seminar presented by several Japanese professionals including an attorney, an accountant, and a realtor. The seminar is mainly for the Japanese people who wants to return to Japan in their elder days. I am not planning to return to Japan at this moment, but I still like to gain lots of knowledge. I might be able to share the knowledge with someone who needs it in the future.

It was a peaceful and quiet day. I still felt exhausted and drained from the long hour drive of yesterday though.

Navajoland visit day-4, 9/21/2023

We visited the medicine man who is my late dad’s cousin.

I’ve known this medicine man and his wife since 1999. My main purpose visiting them was to ask about a medicine man or medicine woman who can lead a sweat lodge ceremony for our Navajo retreat tour, but they started talking about the necessary ceremony that needs to be done for my late dad-in-law’s medicine bundle. When all the explanation was done, it was already past lunch time. We were planning to eat mutton stew and fried bread at the food stand in Window Rock, but unfortunately, when we arrived at the stand, they were closed the store. These food stands are open only during lunch time. We will definitely make it on our next visit.

Navajoland visit day-3, 9/20/2023

Today we spent all day with my mom-in-law. She needed our support to get some quotes to exchange the all four tires for her truck. We visited 3 different tire stores and got quotes. After we had lunch together at the Mexican restaurant, we stopped by another three more stores. I am originally not good at people crowded area. on the way back home, I suffered from headache and nausea. After we came back home, I needed to take a 2-hour nap until I regain my normal state. At least we were happy to see my mom-in-law fully enjoying having us as her company.
