Day 117: February 26, 2022
Saturday - Shoveling Day
It's another cold morning. Like in the past few days, it has been snowing a lot that it came to the point that it almost covered my apartment windows. That's why I decided to spend my day shoveling it before it completely covers the whole side of my apartment and I die of carbon monoxide poisoning.
After 5 hours of back-breaking shoveling, I decided that I had done enough. There was still plenty of snow left but I was already exhausted. Hopefully, it gets warmer in the next few days so that the snow would melt on its own.
Regardless, I believe that I had removed a significant amount of snow that will take days of continuous snowfall before it gets covered with the same amount of snow.
After eating late lunch, I slept and woke up at around 7PM. By this time, I'm slowly feeling the effects of continuous shoveling on my muscles, particularly my back muscles (lats). Hence, I just stayed in bed and chatted with my wife before calling it a day.

Sunday - Package Pickup + Grocery
I wanted to shovel more today but my body said "Enough!" It was then that I remembered that I have to pick up the package from Mr. Toshi at Rumoi's Post Office located 2.9 kilometers away.
I left after eating breakfast but since I was not in a rush to get the package, I walked at a very leisurely pace enjoying the snow-covered view of the city.
I reached the post office after an hour. The process of claiming the package was fast and hassle-free. The whole process took less than 5 minutes to complete.
From Rumoi Post Office, I walked back home. However, I stopped by COOP to buy some groceries first. I got home just in time for my last MBA 102 class. After the class, I slept for a while before calling my wife.
That night, before calling it a day, I spent some time watching crime documentaries. Please do join me on my next week here in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme.
