My family and I went to the big city to have a picture taken by a professional photographer. We went to the park with a lake. The water of the lake looked as deep green. It was beautiful and look like a resort ocean like Hawaii or Okinawa. The photo session itself was about one hour. The photographer will send me the picture data in one week. I am looking forward to the pictures.

I was surprised at their gas price. While it costs $3.67 per gallon in our area, the average gas price in their city was $4.67 per gallon. Their gas price used to be 10 – 20 cents lower than our prices, but their price went much higher than ours.

I am waiting for the commissions for my very first annuity purchase. The application was submitted on the end of March, it was approved on 4/3/2023. The commission was sent from the annuity company to my agent company on 4/5/2023. I am still waiting for the agent company to send my commission to me.

I installed the weed protector sheets in the backyard. After pulled out all the weeds with the spikey thorns, I also installed some lumber around the garden area. Hopefully these installations will prevent weeds from growing this year.

I attended the online seminar presented by a realtor. She updated the current situation of the housing market. Based on her information, this year’s housing market has been going well. The year of 2022 was one of the hectic years for the housing market. Some of the examples between July 2022 and March 2023 are as follows.

The average days took after putting the market to the purchased day: 16 days in July 2022 and 43 days in March 2023.

The average APR: 7.0% in July 2022 and 6.0% March 2023.

The average inflation rate: 9.1% July 2022 and 5% in March 2023

These numbers show how hectic year the year of 2022, and things have been calming down gradually this year.

The mushroom has grown to big enough, so I harvested some for our dinner. They smelled good and tasted pretty good. I am waiting for the lower part of the box to grow more.  It is always good to see vegetables grow in our house and garden.

I saw an announcement post in the FB community page regarding a photo session. I have been looking for a professional photographer to take a business profile picture, so I contacted the person. She offered me a reasonable fee for one hour session. I appreciate her generous offer and look forward to our photo session day.

I am glad that spring allergy season has already passed. Every year in March, I had suffered from allergic reaction of sneezes, runny nose, itchy eyes, and headache from pollen. This year was different. I didn’t need to use a nose cleansing nor a throat steamer. I am thankful that maybe I have overcome the symptom.

I have been working on the grasses and weeds in the backyard and the garden. All our plants are still small, but their roots are becoming strong. The seeds are in the process of germinating. Even though they are small, I can feel their powerful energy to come out.

I received the test instruction about the family homeopathy certification. The school final test will be in May and the final certification exam will be in July. I need to start studying for the exams.

From today my daughter will have the state test days for three days. The teacher told me to come back to the test venue 2.5 hours later. I went to the grocery store alone. I felt weird because I always go to the grocery store with my daughter. She started homeschooling from 2020, so it has been three years for us to stay together all the time. I seldom could spend time alone in these past three years, and I missed the time. Being alone just only for 2.5 hours made me feel weird, then I started feeling lonely. Now I realized how much I am attached to my daughter.
