though I cannot feel any change in the room [clear my clutter]
[English class]
I met 2 parsons who helped my work
and their teacher this evening.
They are learning English after their work
and I could join them.
Though the English talk is very interesting,
I could listen only a third of it.
I want to improve my listening skill.
[gratitude]
I read the book written by Fudeko-san
and am clearing my clutter.
Though I cannot feel any change in the room,
I discarded about 50 magazines and books this morning.
I continue clearing.
I am grateful for the book.

now I can access internet again
[now I can access internet]
I stayed at the home of my relatives for a while
from end of the last month.
I could not access internet from the house.
Then I came to a countryside.
Here I cannot go to a shop or anywhere without a car.
At first I got a used car. Then I went to a dental clinic and
a shop of K's Denki (a shop of electrical appliances)
and bought a Speed Wi-Fi NEXT to connect internet.
I visit Kyoto at the middle of this month.
Then I stay at the home of another my relative
until the end of this month.
After that, I am not sure where I am.
But I can access internet with my laptop from today.

I will pick up 2 developed films at the camera shop

throwing away oil, dressings and pancake mix [clear my clutter]
[throwing away oil, dressings and pancake mix]
Since I leave the present apartment soon, I have to finish food in the apartment.
I was wondering how to do about too much oil, 2 dressings and pancake mix recently.
Today's sweets, dinner and tomorrow's my breakfast are pancake.
I made potato salad using the remaining dressing.
I fry vegetables with the remaining dressing tomorrow.
But it is not possible to finish them without throwing away.
I searched how to discard them.
I boiled the oil and 60% of the dressings (~1 cup).
And put pancake mix (~1 cup) into it.
I don't dump food usually.
My heart aches for throwing away the food.
I decided not to buy too much food from now on.
During the main decluttering in the next month,
I am sure that my heart will ache a lot.
I should not buy too much things.
[gratitude]
I gratitude that I could decide not to buy too much food.
I don't want to discard food again.
I would like to think about a case I suddenly die in my daily life.
I should keep reasonable or only in the needed amount of food.

insufficient sleep causes a waste of time [health]
[insufficient sleep causes a waste of time and health problems]
Yesterday I was trying to write something for 3 hours and I could not do so because of headache caused by lack of sleep.
Recently, I found that I cannot write at all when I am sleepy or I have headache.
I wasted the 3 hours since I was sleepy and tried to write.
If I went to bed early, I got up early and could use the 3 hours.
I understand that I should go to bed early to save time and I cannot do so.
I should find out the reason why I cannot sleep enough.
Then I have to make a good habit, to go to bed early.
Insufficient sleep causes a waste of time.
Sometimes it also causes other serious problems such as a stroke, mental instability, allergy disease, weakened immune system, obesity and so on.
[gratitude]
A person and I were invited for a farewell dinner.
Since I didn't expect it, I had another plan.
I changed my plan to accept the invitation.
I would like to prepare some messages for the dinner.
I appreciate the people who invited us.

gift [health]
[gift]
Probably you sometimes prepare gifts for others.
How do you choice the gifts?
I am bad at finding out what he/she wants and don't have good taste.
So I gave up to select suitable gifts for each person.
I usually select edible or drinkable gifts or flowers.
When I select gifts, I look for something below.
1) not a burden to him/her
2) consumable
3) small
4) light (opposite of heavy)
Since I move at the end of this month,
I purchased a lot of small packages of tea bags and small boxes of chocolates.
About close friends, I sometimes find something that may please him/her.
But this happens by chance and I cannot plan it.
[gratitude]
I am grateful for I owe many people a lot.

bakery, bookstore, and antiques shop [health]
[bakery, bookstore, and antiques shop]
I met a young couple and their daughter at the nearest shopping street.
I could show them my favorite bakery, bookstore, and antiques shop.
Customers' age of these shops are a wide range.
At the bakery, one can have a lunch with their sandwich or can have a tea time with their delicious cakes or cookies.
I love their almond cake (Almond Bar), almond cookie (Almond Macaroon),
breads, sandwich, quiches and so on.
At the bookstore, one can find many interesting and elegant books.
The staffs are kind intelligent ladies and willing to help you to fine your books if you ask.
There is an incredible wide assortment in a small area.
Display of the books is always lovely.
Today, I bought a tiny book of Peanuts, "Be Brave", as a gift for the lady who is helping me (She is Peanut freak. According to her daughter, she also has ORIGAMIs of Snoopy).
Though a paperback "Churchill" attracted me, I didn't purchase it since my English is not good enough to read it.
Maybe I think again about the book at the bookstore in a few days.
At the antiques shop, one can find a lot of beautiful antiques and vintages and some daily necessities such as soaps with scent of flowers.
I bought a vintage knife and a vintage tiny silver cup made in England at the shop in the last year.
Though they are not made in Japan, they are simple and match well my goods made in Japan.
Though I love heavy goods, I am careful not to purchase heavy goods recently.
At these shops, there are a lot conversations between customers and clerks or owner.
Many customers come to the shops to see clerks or owner and may not buy things.
It's OK since sometimes they find what they want to have and purchase it.

I am grateful that I can enjoy a lot of shops at the nearest shopping street.
I will miss them for I leave here at the end of this month.
