From Holidays to Daily Mode 《Daily Life from 8/13 to 8/19》

Around this time,
how about a break☕?

Hello. This is RaM.

Today is the time for our regular Wednesday
realistic daily life snapshot diary.

I have taken the liberty of setting a constraint
to express each day in 3 sentences.

It has been quite a while since I started this diary,
and reflecting for 10 minutes every day has become a habit.

If you would like,
please take a peek
at RaM's daily life😊

8/13 (Wed) A normal holiday has returned

Normally, I think this is the day when Obon arrives and we welcome our ancestors, but since I couldn't go back to my parents' home this time, I am welcoming them in my heart.
In reality, it feels like a typical holiday, and the daily life of a housewife busy with grocery shopping and cooking has returned.
My mental fatigue has not yet healed, and I need a little more sleep and time to myself.

8/14 (Thu) Glad I had some time to myself.

I thought about going out for a fancy lunch during the alone time I gained due to my husband's work schedule, but it was so hot outside that I didn't want to leave the house, so I gave up on the idea.
Between reading books, writing notes, catching up on my reading list, and doing chores, my husband's call saying he was on his way home came in the blink of an eye.
Still, it was really good to have some time to myself toward the end of the holiday.

8/15 (Fri) A sweltering heat that felt like it was waiting for us

We went to visit the grave of my husband's friend.
While we were eating, heavy clouds covered the sky, but before I knew it, the clouds were gone, it was completely sunny, and the sunlight was piercing through me.
It has become an August tradition for me to press my hands together in front of a friend I (probably) never met and express my gratitude for their life.

8/16 (Sat) The happiness of watching fireworks from home

While watching the live broadcast of the fireworks, grilling meat, and drinking, I started to feel good, so even though my husband and I usually share one can of chuhai, I opened a second one.
Since my husband cannot drink alcohol, I drank most of the second can, enjoyed a delicious dinner, watched the beautiful fireworks, and when I sat comfortably on the sofa, sleepiness overcame me.
When I woke up from a pleasant nap, I found that my husband, though exasperated, had gone ahead and cleaned up after dinner, and I thought to myself, what a good man he is.

8/17 (Sun) On days when you can't do it, just take it easy

It was a Sunday where I ended up having to handle unexpected tasks while feeling lightheaded from anemia.
No matter how much makeup I put on, I couldn't wake up, I was sleepy, and the only thought that kept coming to mind was, 'I don't want to do anything.'
Since this is something I can't control with my willpower alone, I gave up and decided to shift into a lower gear.

8/18 (Mon) A day where I felt an intense sense of fatigue

It was a week of living in air conditioning, sitting down for long periods with mostly computer work, and not even going for walks because of the heat, and I feel like my basic physical strength has declined.
When I thought that if things continued this way, I might fall apart, it became obvious that I had to change my lifestyle.
I decided that tomorrow, I would definitely not be lazy, I would start working from the morning, and I would get the housework done.

8/19 (Tue) How do I tighten things up after loosening them?

Days where I can't shake off my fatigue are nothing but stress, so I realized that the things I was doing to avoid getting tired were actually leaning toward making me more tired.
I feel my body weakening little by little and start to feel anxious. I keep encouraging myself to do my best to reclaim my body.

Thank you for taking a peek
at RaM's daily life 💐

I hope the 7 days starting tomorrow
will be peaceful days, even if just a little...
