It was fine.

My 152nd ebook is released this morning.

It is about my trip to Nara in December.

I overworked a little bit.

2025.1.9

It was fine.

I stayed and worked at home.

I received the return gift from hometown tax donation. I pressed the button twice by mistake and I could not cancel. Therefore I received two same gifts.

2025.1.8

It was fine but cold.

There was a new year greeting by the  president. He asked us to change from last year.

There was a new year party after that.

Since it was canceled last year, this was the first time for me to attend this kind of event.

At night I attended Ken Honda's webinar after a long time. This was the first of the three night session. I am looking for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

I am trying to make the 152nd ebook.

2025.1.7

It was cloudy, fine, and rain. It was cold.

January 7 is known as nanakusa (七草), seven herbs. In new year's days we tend to eat delicious foods too much. To rest our stomach we eat rice porridge with seven herbs on this day.

Within today it is called matsu no uchi (松の内), I cleared the new year's decoration of the entrance.

Since it is ichiryu manbaibi (一粒万倍日) when is a good time to start something, I started preparing my 152nd ebook. There were about 600 pictures and I chose about 160 pictures out of them.

I got an airmail from the USA which was posted on December 28, 2024 from Illinois.

This winter I did not send any Christmas card by airmail but sent by email.

I should have sent some.

I got invitations for the events. I can't attend one of them, but I will attend others.

2025.1.6

It was cloudy in the morning and became rain in the afternoon. It was very cold.

Today is the first working day of this year.

I sent an email at 8:30 but it was not sent until 9:13.

I made a Facebook group for the next event the other day. It is a secret group, but the invitation was sent to many people.

I do not know why these things happened.

At work there was an international delivery service I have been waiting since last year  but it was not arrived yet.

I do not know  why.

There was a service I was trying to use but decided not to.

These are things I experienced today.

It was fine.

I went to Tanashi to attend a lecture of Aichi Myth. It was the last session of the 6 lectures series.

Before lecures I visited Tanashi jinja shrine. There was already a long waithng line. At lunch time there was a longer waiting line. After lectures there was still a long waiting line.

I went back to the station with a friend whom I met last February last.

On my way home I went to a shop to return ink.

2025.1.2

It was fine.

I went to Koenbo Hie jinja shrine for the first time because I wanted to see the beautiful scenery of Mt.Fuji through torii gate. It was really beautiful.

Next I went to post the New Year's cards.

Since the postage was raised from yen 63 to yen 85, I received fewer new year's cards than usual and I also reduced to 100 cards.

Then I went to Beisia around 10:10. There were already so many cars waiting and I could not buy fukubukuro, lucky bag.

I watched the first part of Hakone Ekiden on TV.

There was a zoom gathering of announcement of lottery result.I did not gain anything.
