Yesterday we received a pack of Buntan -- a kind of orange but has more stiff peel and juicy pulp. You will find it rather expensive at a fruit shop, but we got them as moderate as apples as we ordered them directly from the farmer. I happened to be able to spend the afternoon alone without children. There generally are a lot of things a man can't do with children, like making a kit model, going out to a movie, or enjoying a spicy hot restaurant. That is, it was a rare opportunity to do such grown-up businesses. But I chose to use the free hours to focus on the works which have been a burden to me for weeks. I reckon that the decision turns out well because I managed to finish them! I then offered the family who were at home dinner. There must be no more fascinating moment than unwinding after a load of work with the family and glasses of wine.

I spent most of the day with my daughter as my wife and son went out here and there. She slept well during the daytime, and now she's reluctant to sleep in her bed.

I went to dentist with my son and ate dinner on the way home at a ramen shop. There I had to scold him because he could't stop watching TV during the dinner. Watching TV in itself is not a bat habit. But losing the precious time unawarely is not good. That's what I want him to see.

I argued with my colleague about how tactful the thought of children are. She said she's always impressed by somehow conscious answers made by children, and they must be more deliberate than we adults imagine. However, I was against her view. No matter how deep they think, it can't be measured along with our way of "thinking". There are a sort of framework in our thinking which differs by age. In fact, it's also differ by each people, although the most affecting parameter should be age. In other words, children never think in a way adults think. We can't think in children's shoes, even though we all used to think using the same frameworks with which now children see the world around them. In my opinion, she confused children's precocious answers coming from the framework they are using to think and which are different from ours, with some thoughtfulness.

Writing is a habit. The more you write, the easier you can write. I know that's true in my native tongue, Japanese, so I'm trying it in English too. That's why I have started to do it here. However, there's few thing to be written every day, especially on weekday, because I don't want to write anything to complain about my ordinary life. Anyway, trying to be able to write about nothing using any foreign language should be another interesting, big challenge for me.

Anti allergic medicine makes me feel so sleep during this season. It's far better than without it, but I can't wake up in the morning everyday. So I'm going to the bed now.

I finally wrote the income tax report of the last year. We can get a good amount of money back, because we still have mortgage loan and the amount of medical bills exceeds one hundred thousand yen.
