Navajoland visit (3) –a deep conversation with my mom in law 5/31/2025

We went to town again. Today we visited at a Navajo clothing store. There they have lots of nicely handmade Navajo traditional dresses and outfits. The prices are about $500 per dress, which we cannot decide right away.

Then we went to the flea market and walked around. We had a Mutton stew and frybread for lunch.

After dinner, I had a deep conversation with my mom in law. While I was talking about my Japanese parents and marriage life, I shed tears. My mom in law was shedding tears with me and for me. I appreciate her to listen to my story and shed tears with me.

In the night my mom in law shared her accessories with my daughter. She said she is happy for doing so, so that my daughter can pass them down to her children in the future. We let them spend alone time. It was a beautiful time for them.

Navajoland visit (2) water piping work update 5/30/2025

In the morning my mom in law and my husband went to the utility company to check the status of their work schedule of our water piping to our homesite. The worker was a young woman and she casually said they don’t have our application form anywhere. She just handed the new application packet to my husband and told to fill out it and submit. My husband came back in a furious attitude. After that we left to the town. While we were in the clothing store, my husband received a phone call from the utility company. It was the different male worker who was nice and sincere. He said they found our application packet so that we don’t need to fill out the application form again. I am glad they have an honest person like him to support our homesite project. I hope they will lay water pipes on our home site within this year.

My mom in law treated us a lunch at a steak restaurant. In return, we helped her to go shopping at grocery store and DIY store.

We also stopped by at trailer store. They have currently on sale on all of their trailers about $3,000 discount. The sale will end at the end of August. I don’t think we can buy it this year. Maybe next summer.

After we came back, we helped her to fix her house. My mom in law said she wants us to stay 1 – 2 weeks as a summer vacation so that we can spend more time with her. I understand how she feels. We will try to visit her as more frequently as we can.  

Navajoland visit (1) 5/29/2025

My family and I headed to Navajoland. Our last visit was in January, so it has been 4 months passed. It has already entered to students’ summer break. There were many more vehicles on the road that it took more time to get there. My mom-in-law was so happy to see us again. We enjoyed catching up with each other with a beautiful sunset view at the Navajoland.

Food poisoning 5/25/2025

Yesterday we ate at a hamburger restaurant where we often visited. First my husband got a diarrhea. While we were walking around the shopping mall, he needed to run to the bathroom three times. After we came back in the evening, my daughter suffered from severe tummy ache with throwing up and diarrhea. She suffered from pain even after we went to bed. She could not sleep well. As for me, I ate all the same as my family but I was totally fine. My digestion system worked properly and didn’t have any tummy ache. I have a habit to take a ship of On-Kokin that I purchased from the homeopathy store on last autumn. I believe this is helping me to maintain heathy intestinal bacteria. My family rejects to intake On-Kokin due to the strong smell, which I get used to it by now.

Botanical garden visit 5/24/2025

As a cerebration of finishing my final exam yesterday as well as my daughter’s school completion, my family and I went to the botanical garden. It was a nice garden that we saw lots of unique plants and insects. We saw a white lizard wagging its tale as it was running close to us. It was super cute to see the lizard happily running around with its tail wagging.

2nd year final exam 5/23/2025

In the morning at 9 a.m., I took the 2nd year final exam of the professional homeopathy course. The test itself was 3 hours. Last year, the school added extra 20 minutes for the elderly students who are not good at typing texts in a computer, so I expected the school to do the same. But this year the test time was set just only 3 hours. At the beginning I was nervous because I used the full 200 minutes to type all my answers. Once I started proceeding the test, I noticed the test content was changed into much simpler than last year. After I answered all the questions, and I reviewed thoroughly. I could finish the test about 2 hours or so, instead of using the full 3 hours length. I felt so relieved that I could finish the final exam. I believe I did very well and would pass the exam.

Meeting with my attorney 5/22/2025

I attended the online class to observe the homeopathy counselling session from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., then right after that, in the evening at 9 p.m., I had a meeting with my attorney. We discussed our next step to fight in the family court in next month, the beginning of June. I appreciate my attorney for supporting my situation.
