It's a cold, cloudy morning, and the chill seeps through my window as I begin my 84th work week. Despite the dreary weather, my spirits remain high—I’m off to Rumoi High School today!
Each visit there excites me, as it’s always a chance to connect with students, share stories, and hopefully make a difference. I’m looking forward to another meaningful day with them.

Check out the serving of this katsu curry |
After work, I brought my daughter to Curry Taisho for dinner. It has been several months since we last ate here. We both went home very full and satisfied.
Overall, it’s officially our first full week without my wife. For my work trips, I visited Rumoi High School, Obira Special Needs School, Embetsu Agricultural High School, and Tomamae Commercial High School. It’s quite a tiring week as the full household responsibility fell on my shoulders, but then again, it was great to do it with my daughter.
