2026.4.1

A new month has started.

April is shigatsu (4月、四月) or uzuki (卯月) in Japanese. April is the beginning of fiscal year and academic year.

I arranged the plants, salt ＆ rice, and water of the inhouse shrine as one of the rituals of the first day of the month. 

I posted good days of April calendar as the other ritual and visited the nearby shrine as another ritual.

After visiting the shrine I went grocery shopping.I was surprised to see so many people there because of the advertisement distributed this morning.

I went to Uchisaiwaicho, Nippori, Ueno, and Jinbocho to do many things.

It was rain and very cold.

The last Sunday of March

I stayed at home all day long.

I translated a letter into English.

Today was the last day of 203rd ebook campaign.I thought 11:59PM PDT was 16:59PM in Japan. But it was 15:59PM.

I made the 204th ebook.

I felt tired and fell asleep on the chair and missed a TV program at night.

I attendf a zoom event at night.

End of March is the end of fiscal and academic year. Therefore we are usually very busy.

For me it was the last day of working at the current job and for my colleagues it was a day of moving.

I am glad to have completed all the jobs I should have done.

There was a farewell ceremony and to my surprise we got sweets of La Mar de Chaya from the division members.

We took a group photo by my request. I am glad that all the members attended.

I presented my first book to those who helped me a lot for the past three years. Most of them did not know today was my last day and they were surprised.

My 204th e-book was released and has started the present campaign.

I held the 55th Bilingual Fortune Sharing Tea Party at night.  It was fun.
