It was fine and hot, and rather windy.

I stayed at home all day long.

Today my 132nd ebook became No.1 in the USA.

In the morning I read an ebook I got by Kindle unlimited.

In the afternoon I received the book I ordered before releasing and read it at a time. It was released on September 18. There were two parts. It was interesting and informative.

At night I attended a zoom seminar which was interesting and inspirational.

2024.9.4

It was fine and not so hot.

I was rather busy at work.

Present campain of No.130 ebook has begun.
To my glad it's been No.1 in Japan.

I am enjoying communication with friends after informing.

Recently I knew my neighbor's life story was published, and I bought it.  I finally read it. It was about war time story. I did not know about most of her life story. It was a nice opportunity to know about her.
It is POD, Print on Demand which is good.

It was fine.

My winter holiday started.

I went to Shinagawa first to attend a meeting and to Yokohama to see movies. I watched a Japanese movie and an English movie "Wanka."

I went to a bookstore to buy "My Book 2024.'' It is a blank paperback we can use as diary. I have used the series more than 20 years.

I published the 110th ebook today. This is the 50th ebook of this year.

To my delight the 107th ebook became No.1 in the USA and Japan.

At night I attended a zoom year end party.

2023.10.4

It was a rainy day. To my lucky I did not have to use an umbrella. 

It was rather cool.
They say it will be hot again tomorrow.

Today my 100th ebook became No.1 in Japan.I am glad to see some reviews and direct messages.

100 is a landmark.Some asked me if the next target would be 200. It took about four years and a half to come here. First few years I published once a month pace.Until the end of last year I published 60 books. 
I hope to publish 120 books within this year. So I must publish 20 books in three month, that is about 7 books per month.

What kind of books do you want to read?

It was another hot day. But it seemed to have rained early morning.

There was a traffic jam this morning and it took longer than usual.

I published the 94th ebook about waterfalls in Nikko. There is one of the three greatest waterfalls in Japan there. I visited four waterfalls. All were fine. There were more so that I hope to visit there again.

The 93rd ebook is on campaign and it's been No.1 in Japan.

I cooked corn rice three or four times this summer. It is easy and delicious.Last summer when I cooked it for the first time, I did not think it was so delicious. But it is.

Regarding 86th ebook I heard some friends wrote reviews, but they are not appeared yet.

I have a sore throat, stuffy nose, sneezing, and stomachache. It seems I have a cold.

I watched and listened to the recorded programs.

2023.4.24

It was cloudy and very cold like winter came back again.
It seems tomorrow will be colder.
Weather this year is strange. 
Warm weather made cherry blossoms bloom earlier than usual.
But cold again.

Everday I am looking for the lunch menu at the cafeteria. There are three every day.
At the entrance I saw the salt-grilled Pacific Saury, but at the cashier it was changed to red fish. 
When I returned the dishes, it was changed to something different again.
Is menu A so popular??
Dessert was sold out unfortunately.

After having dinner I made two books; one is about my trip to Izu peninsula last month, the other is the new series of wonderful nature and about waterfalls.

Since today is  ichirvu manbaibi (一粒万倍日) when one grain becomes 10000 times.
I hope the new series will be a big hit.

I need to study for the exam this weekend.

It was fine.

I slept long.

I was going to stay home all day long, but since today is the election day for city councils, I went to vote first and shopping later im the evening.
It would be nice if we could vote online.

My 75th ebook campaign was over, and I started making the new book which is about my trip to Izu peninsula last month.
There are many pictures for three days. So it is very hard which to choose.

After all I decided to make a new series for waterfalls which I have thought of for a long time.

2022.6.16

It was cloudy and rainy but I did not have to use an umbrella.

I could finally cancel the Value Pack of the Smartphone contract which I have not used at all. I should have done so much earlier. I must return the ground-wave digital tuner near future.

There are many things to throw away in my life.

I have read two given books this week. It's  been long time since I read paper books. These days I enjoy reading ebooks instead of paper books. But I like reading books that someone I know wrote.

2021.3.12

It was cloudy in the morning.

I started the day with the laughter yoga. We were supposed to go to Oyama mountain tomorrow, but because of the estimated bad weather we postponed the climbing until autumn.

Today was the day of telework.

I got a call from someone of a stock compamy. She had to leave the office because she needs to take care of a senior family member. It is sad to hear that.

At night there was a zoom meeting. There was a recommendation about a book and two books ftom the Facebook live. I found them ftom Kindle unlimited and bought them. I am looking foresrd to read8ng them.

2020.5.13

It was fine.

I got up earlier than usual.

I stayed at home all day long.

There were zoom sessions in the morning and at night.

At night I got the goods I ordered the other day. There was something I did not order. But it was my mistake. I thought I ordered the sandal, but it was the picture of leggings. I was shocked to find the fact.

7 days book cover challenge came to me. There are some books I want to mention and have tried to find them, but can't. Instead I found some books I felt interesting.

2013.9.2

I was off today.
In the morning I cleared the books into a carton box.  I happened to find a notebook in which I wrote the impressive sentences from the books that I had read.  The date was 10 years ago.  I think the writing is a future gift for myself.  I have written diary for many years, and it's been more than 12 years since I started using a 10-year diary.  It is interesting because I know what I did last year or the year before last on the same day.  I recommend you to use it.
In the afternoon I went to bank to withdraw money and pay the 2nd citizen tax.  After leaving job, we have to pay the citizen taxes according to the income of the previous year.  We have to pay it every three month.
At night I went to practice the small ball exercise.
