2026.10.2

It was cloudy.

It was the last day for my 220th eBook campaign.  To my glad my 221st eBook has been No. 1 and the 220th eBook has been No.2 for a while in Japan. 

I am not sure why, but I have had a stomachache at night for two days. 

There were many email communications and a zoom meeting today and I overworked till 8:30 PM or so and came home around 10:40 PM.

I have been looking for a restaurant to have lunch with a friend at night.

2026.10.1

 A new month has started.

October is jugatsu (10月 十月) or kannazuki (神無月) in Japanese.

There are some rituals I follow on the first day of the month.  One is to change plants, rice, salt at inhouse shrine, the other is to visit the nearby shrine which is called otsuitachimairi (お朔日参り), another is to post the good day information of the month's calendar.

It was cloudy at first but became fine after a long interval.

This morning I visited the Immigration bureau to check the status of the participants' COE. From today handling charge are raised; therefore, there were so many people stood in line yesterday. It was not so crowded today.

From today my 221st eBook promotion campaign started.

2026.9.30

 The last day of September.

It was a rainy day.

There was a farewell party at night. Therefore, I walked to the station in the morning, and came back home by taxi.

Since we have been very busy, this was the first time for us to have dinner together. It was supposed to be all members, but two could not join and one became later, and one left earlier.

I live in far away, therefore I only joined the first party.
