Weekend 110: December 9 -10, 2023 Day 768: December 9, 2023 Saturday – Rumoi Today is the hottest day of this year’s winter with temperatures expected to rise to 11 degrees by noon.  Road trip? Nope! Just heading out to accomplish some tasks First stop: Ebata Dental Clinic Next: COOP The significant snowmelt prompted us to seize the opportunity and carry out our scheduled tasks for the day. Our initial stop was at Ebata Dental Clinic for my wife's dental appointment, followed by a visit to COOP for grocery shopping and a quick trip to Jabba Laundromat to dry our clothes. These activities comprised our agenda before heading back home. Last stop: Jabba Laundromat Upon our return, I noticed that the snow around our house had substantially melted. Eager to utilize the chance, I spent time digging around Chidori Children’s Center in the hopes of finding my wife's phone. Unfortunately, despite hours of effort to clear the remaining snow, I was unsuccessful. Accepting the reality, I ...

Week 110: December 4 – 8, 2023 Day 763: December 4, 2023 Monday – Rumoi Rumoi High School 12.4.2023 It’s a cold but clear Monday morning. It didn’t snow last night, and it was probably warmer as some of the snow melted a bit. This made some areas slippery. I slipped several times on my way to work, but thankfully, I didn’t fall. I’m back at Rumoi High School for today's school visit for my usual Monday schedule.  Here’s my workload for today: (Cancelled) 2nd period – Performance Task presentation @ 3-4 of Sengoku-sensei 5th period – Performance Task presentation @ 1-56 of Matsuda-sensei Classes were canceled after the first period, and the students were asked to go home However, after the first period, Kyoto-sensei called for an emergency meeting. All classes were canceled, and the students were asked to go home. This is because of the ongoing flu pandemic. It was so bad that one class only had 9 / 25 students present.  Rumoi High School also declared Tuesday and Wednesday t...

Weekend 109: December 2 – 3, 2023 Day 761: December 2, 2023 Saturday – Rumoi City It's a bitterly cold Saturday morning here in Rumoi City, with temperatures as low as -6 degrees. Despite not having any travel plans for the day, several important tasks still needed to be completed, which required us to venture out into the city. Ella enjoying her task of clearing the snow Before leaving the warmth of our house, my daughter and I decided to clear the snow around Ruru , our beloved car, and the parking area. It was an uphill task, but we knew it had to be done. In addition to this, I took a walk towards Midorigaoka Elementary School in a hopeful attempt to find my wife's lost phone, which she had misplaced somewhere along the path. Sadly, my search yielded no results. The phone is likely hidden beneath the layers of snow by now, and if we are fortunate enough to find it, it will have to wait until spring when the snow thaws. It's not a road trip, but we did the "mandato...
