Day 741:  November 12, 2023 Sunday –  Rumoi x Obira It's a cold Sunday morning here in Rumoi City Today was a busy and productive day filled with various household chores and preparations. As winter is fast approaching, we decided it was the perfect time to clean, organize, and rearrange our home to make it more comfortable and efficient for the cold season. We sorted through our belongings, put away lighter clothes, and brought out the thicker blankets and winter gear.  I drove to Moda Self Rumoi to buy kerosene We also made sure that our heating system and kerosene supply were ready for the dropping temperatures. Speaking of which... It snowed while I was buying kerosene Later in the day, I drove to Shell Self Rumoi in Motokawacho to purchase kerosene, known locally as touyu ( 灯油 ) , to refill our home heater and keep us warm in the coming days. After finishing our errands and completing all the necessary preparations for winter, we took a well-deserved break and enjoy...

Pockey Day 11.11 Of course, we bought Pockey during our last grocery trip as we didn’t want to miss out on the fun.  We didn’t do anything special today, though. We just stayed home and kept warm.  Movie day - American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story To make the day more interesting and to kill boredom, we watched several movies on Netflix, like the 2021 sports/drama film American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story and the 2023 Thriller The Killer. Both were good films and were worth watching. Good night, Kai! Before calling it a day, my daughter begged me if we could wat...
