2020.2.6

It was fine but very cold.

After work I went to a monthly meeting which started at 6 pm and I was late for 30 minutes. It was full and I could not find a seat at first, but I could sit later. I could clear my question and felt relieved.

After that I went out for dinner. So I came home late.

It was a nice day.

2020.2.5

It was fine.

Almost every week day I go to a convenience store to buy lunch. There are two of them across the street of the office. I go either one depending on the traffic dignal.

I usually buy salad, bread or rice, side dish, and dessert. I bring tea bag and soup from home. 

Every time when I go to one of them they ask "Do you have a point card? " I did not and I have been wondering how to get it. So today I asked how to get it. It was so easy. They have a bunch of cards at the register, and you can save the point from the first day.

Since today is the day of tiger when is a good day related to money things. So I started saving the points. Usually you get one point for yen 200. But today was the day of double points. 

I felt lucky.

2020.2.4

It was fine.

Today is risshun (立春), one of nijyushisekki(二十四節気), 24 solar terms. The last one was daikan (大寒) on January 20, and the next one is usui (雨水) on February 19.

Risshun literally means stand spring. It is the first day of spring.

These years I got a new custom on this day. It is to write risshun daikichi (立春大吉) which literally means stand spring big fortune, and post at the entrance. This is a kind of magic to drive evils and invite fortune.
