Birthday celebration 8/25/2024

Today was my husband’s birthday. We already celebrated his birthday with some gorgeous beef steak cook-out while we were in Navajoland, so that I cooked another nice beef dinner for him. Even though my daughter and I don’t eat animal meat that much, my husband still loves animal meat, and that was his request on his special day. I appreciate him for being my life partner and having a live with me.

Useful information from a Japanese judicial scrivener’s seminar 8/24/2024

In the morning, I received 2 packages via DHL global mail. I thought the packages came from my brother in Japan, but the packages were sent by my local bank. My guess was wrong. I wonder what my brother has been doing in investigating our late dad’s inheritance. I guess I have to proceed the procedure on my own.

In the evening at 4 p.m., I attended the online seminar regarding the Japanese governmental procedures presented by a Japanese judicial scrivener.

6-hour live lesson event 8/23/2024

My family and I went to the bowling array. The summer program is going to end at the end of this month. We will miss this generous program, because this year is the last year for us to be qualified. My bowling score has been recovering gradually. I started very well three years ago as to the highest score of 186. After that, my score has not been stable. Sometimes it gets great, and other times it gets pretty low. Nowadays my score has been recovered being around 160.

In the evening, I attended the live lesson of the professional homeopathy. It was the only one day live lesson event for us the second grader of the school. The live lesson was an all-day-long class. In my time, it started from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., for their morning class, then their evening class started from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. in my time. I was still feeling tired from the long drive, I could not attend their evening class. I will need to wait 2 weeks until the school will upload the recording in our student portal page.  

Navajoland visit Day-4, 8/22/2024

We were planning to wake up early and leave Navajoland by 7 a.m., but as usual, my family took their time doing this and that, and we finally could departed at 8 a.m. It was acceptable though, because I understand my husband wanted to spend time with his mom as much as they could. We came back safely in the early evening at 3 p.m.

The local FB page announced that Mr. Trump visited our local area to check the actual condition of the border wall. We were here in Navajoland so we could not see the area. I wonder it got crowded with a whole bunch of people or not.

Navajoland visit Day-3, 8/21/2024

It was our third day of visiting Navajoland. In the early morning, I woke up early and cooked curry and rice for our lunch. As a thank you to my mom-in-law, we cooked beef at the outside grill. We were supposed to do so yesterday to acknowledge my late dad-in-law’s departure of 3 years ago.

After the lunch, we needed to go to the clothing support office to submit some more documents.

In the late afternoon, we opened my late dad-in-law’s medicine bundle and performed a cleansing ceremony with using sage leaves.

Navajoland visit Day-2, 8/20/2024

It was our second day of visiting Navajoland. We went to NTUA to apply for the water pipe to our homesite. The application procedure took them for a long time. When it was done, we went to another office to apply for the kid’s clothing support. We went to the office listed in their official website, but nobody was there in the office. We asked around and finally got the right direction through people. The office worker at the office was very nice and supportive. When only two application was done, it was already afternoon.

My mom-in-law offered us to buy a lunch, and we went to the town. We had a very nice lunch together. We helped her at the shopping by lifting several heavy items such as dog food and cat food. I bet it is tough for her without anybody’s help to carry such a heavy item every month.  

Navajoland visit Day-1, 8/19/2024

In the morning, we headed to Navajoland. The traffic was not bad at all. It took us 7.5 hours to get there. When we arrived there, my mom-in-law showed up to the trailer with a cane on her right hand, walking slowly with pain, and her voice was harsh with sore throat. But within one hour chatting and laughing with us, she seemed to enjoy having us as her company so much, that she didn’t need to use her cane and started walking normally. And her voice too got back to normal. I am glad that she enjoyed staying with us so much.ky.

Getting ready for the trip 8/18/2024

Another busy day getting ready for the upcoming visit to Navajoland. My daughter could finish up all the to-do list items for one week during our trip. I myself am still behind the schedule, but I am working on it little by little. We are so excited to be back to Navajoland and visit my mom-in-law and Bucky, our chihuahua. My daughter finished packing lots of toys that she will give to Bucky.

Busy with the school work 8/17/2024

My daughter has been vigorously working on her school works because we will visit my mom-in-law for the upcoming one week. I was busy because I needed to teach her whatever she didn’t understand fully. I spent my night time to catch up with my own studies of homeopathy course. I am already behind the schedule. But I know I will be fine by catching up with it, after the trip.

Mystery package coming 8/16/2024

I received an email from post office notifying me that I would receive 2 packages via DHL global mail package. I wonder what these mails are for. It says global, so I was thinking they might be the letters sent from my Japanese brother. We will be out of town for 4 days, so we will miss the delivery though. I am curious about the global mails, but I’d better not to worry or concern. I decided to just enjoy my current moment.
