I read some Japanese books that I’ve been wanting to read. One of the books offered to a workbook to answer to the 100 questions to communicate with my higher self. I enjoyed the time to devote to myself. I noticed I had not had time for myself for the last 6 months or so, for catching up with my school materials of professional homeopath and biofeedback operator.

These three days were extremely hot. There were lots of rain clouds in the sky and we had mist-like sprinkles from time to time, but they were not enough for our garden plans. 

Today is Tanabata Festival which is one of the Japanese traditional events. Tanabata is based on a love story about Orihime and Hikoboshi. People write their wishes on colorful paper strips and hang them on bamboo branches. I don’t have a bamboo at our house so I wrote down some wishes on my diary.

I went to the grocery store. The grocery stores had sales items to celebrate America’s 250^th birthday. The special sales of $2.50 included beer, butter, chips, and produces. I appreciated for their generous sales items.

I worked on the house chores after came back from trip, cleaning the house, washing clothes, sheets, blankets, and car. I felt comfortable to clean them.

The watermelons in our backyard garden are growing day by day. It is fun to watch them growing.

It was America’s 250^th birthday celebration. We went to the local park to join their small cerebration.

In the night, we went to the next city to watch their firework show. We usually go see it at our local park but this year we decided to do something different. It worths to have gone there. Their firework show was much more sophisticated than our local one.

It was our returning home day. In the early morning when I tried to start the car engine, the engine didn’t start right away. Both of my husband and I thought it was just a low temperature in the morning, and didn’t worry about it. However, on our first stop at the store, when I tried to start the engine, it didn’t start. My husband tried, and after his second or third trial, the engine finally started.

Luckily it was in the middle of town. We stopped by at AutoZone where a worker checked the battery a diagnosed it was time to exchange to a new one. according to their purchase history, my battery was 8 years old. We purchased a new battery and installed.

I remember the conversation with my family spirits while I was driving my car. At that time, both of my husband and daughter were sleeping. I turned off the car radio and had a conversation with my family spirits. They told me it was about time for me to exchange the battery and tires. Before I heard their advice, I completely forgot about the battery and tires that I exchanged them 8 years ago.

After we came back safely at our house, I went to the backyard and checked our plants. I saw 2 watermelons growing. One is 2-inch diameter and the other one is 6-inch diameter. We are all happy for these watermelons.

Navajoland visit (3) cleaning of car and my late dad-in-law’s office 7/2/2026

In the morning and the afternoon, we focused on cleaning the car and the trailer room. Two people are interested in purchasing my late dad-in-law’s car, which used to belong to me. We wanted to clean the inside and outside of the car before my mom-in-law sells it. It had full of dusty items inside the car and the trunk. Then we focused on cleaning the office room of my late dad-in-law. It was filled with a whole bunch of items that needed to sort out. I am glad we made a huge progress on our cleaning projects.

In the evening, we went to Gallup for the Indian dance event. Today, two groups were scheduled to demonstrate their songs and dances. Unfortunately, one member of the first group got a medical emergency, so that we needed to wait there for about one hour until the second group stated their songs and dances. Even though it was very hot and tough to wait in the heat without shadow, once the show started, everybody was happy to join to their songs and dances.

Navajoland visit (2) meeting about a new trailer house 7/1/2026

We went to town and had lunch at Sizzler’s. Then we went to Walmart for shopping. Our last stop was the trailer house, where we saw 7 trailers and had a meeting with the sales person. Even though our destination places were only 3, by the time we came back home, all of us were exhausted. Maybe it was due to the high elevation and high wind with dust.

Navajoland visit (1) movie: Road to Everywhere 6/30/2026

We left home heading to Navajoland. Today we left earlier than usual because we wanted to go the movie theater in the evening.

The local movie theater close to my mom-in-law had the indie movie specially only for 4 days.

We arrived at her house before 5 p.m., which is 6 p.m. on their time as they take the summer time. we made it to the theater before the movie started. This movie is an indie movie and does not have any famous actors. They didn’t advertise the movie. I felt lucky to be able to see this movie.

Getting ready for the trip 6/29/2026

I was busy with cluttering and getting ready for the upcoming trip. I almost caught up with the training videos of biofeedback device. I have only one training that I need to finish watching.
