We went to the pow wow again. This time it was not cold; rather, it was very hot. The temperature was raised up to 97F. Considering that last night it was 50F, it was a huge gap within these two days. Native friends told me it is typical to have a variety of weather and a wide range of temperature gap during pow wow because all the different tribes bring the different energy.

I went to the pow wow that was held in the Tohono O’odham Nation. This was our fourth visit to their pow wow. We visited in the morning or early afternoon in the previous years, but this year we attended the evening one started from 7 p.m. I felt comfortable surrounded by Natives and enjoyed watching the dance and listening to the pow wow songs and drums. One thing that was tough for us was the cold temperature. It was 50F with the high wind.

I sent out some portion of the inheritance tax via wire transfer. It took my huge energy away when dealing with the procedure.

I have noticed the strong smell in the tap water for these couple of days. I mentioned it to my family and they both agreed. When we consulted with the city hall worker, he submitted a work order to the Water and Sewerage Department. Greatly living in a small town, two workers from Water and Sewerage Department knocked our entrance door within several minutes from the report. They checked the tap water quality at our house. The chorine level was 0.73. It is within the safety range; however, they admitted the number was pretty high. He promised us that they would check here and there in this area and also would go to the well pump and adjust the chorine amount to be added to the well. I didn’t know until today that the water resource in our area was a well.   

My husband attended the small party to meet with the new company people. I am glad he met nice people there and he was treated nicely with respect.

As for me, I am lacking sleep and energy due to the evil intention from my greedy brother.

In the night at 10:30 p.m., I had an online meeting with my attorney. My husband joined us to ask my attorney for his full-strength support. I needed to stay up for another 2 hours as my attorney attended the negotiation meeting at the family court started from 4 p.m. in Japanese time, which was the midnight in my time. My brother kept on pointing out this and that. His true intention is to torture me by postpone the final decision. So frustrating, not only to my brother, but also to the judge because he didn’t stand in the sold stance. Dear Gods and Holy people, please keep protecting us from my brother’s evil intention. Please guide us to the right direction so that we can close this case as soon as possible in the most peaceful way.

I dealt with the bank tellers in order to know the advantages and the disadvantages when sending the tire transfer internationally.  

I started doing hata yoga since our 2nd spiritual course. It has been one month and half passed since my first day. I was surprised to know my body has gotten much more flexible than my first day.

Today I gave my daughter a haircut by 5 inch shorter. She looks cute in the short hair too.

My family and I went to the Arizona Sonora museum. Even though we have lived this area for 17 years, it was our very first visit to this museum. Regardless of the name of museum, it is actually a fun place for family. It has an aquarium, a zoo, a cave, a botanical garden, and a nice hiking trail. We will definitely go back there. My main purpose to go there was to purchase a chili-tepin plant. I purchased 3 of them.

I purchased some more new seeds and planted to the seed starter pods. I hope they will grow healthy this year. Last year, even though we purchased the seeds from the native people’s authentic seeds, none of them were successful.
