Hiroko’s Diary

Today, I went to a clinic to take a medical check.  I had my stomach examined with a fiberscope.  Before I took the examination, I was told by a nurse that there would be no pain at all.   However, I felt pain and it was hard to me.  Still now, I have a sore throat.   The result was not something I need to worry.   Medical checks are something I need to take, but not not something I want to do with pleasure.

Yesterday, my husband and my children went to see my husband’s parents in Toyama prefecture.    I didn’t go there with them this time.  They stayed one night.   This is the first time for me to spend two days by myself.   Just after I saw them off yesterday morning, I thought how I would spend the day.  A lot of plans occured to me.  I could go to Kyoto to see beautiful red and yellow autumn leaves.   I could go shopping in Umeda.  But what I did was to go to a hair salon and have my hair cut.   I was able to spend time only for myself, but I felt a little bit lonely.   I missed them. 

Today, I went to church and after coming back home, I prepared things for my English classes’ Christmas party.  Whenever I make some crafts for the lessons, my children get in the way and I have to stop the work from time to  time, but today I could do as much as I wanted.  I was happy with that but at the same time I felt lonely.   Oh!How selfish I am! 

They are coming back soon.  I can’t wait to see them!
