The doctor said I had no problem.
Sigh... I was glad to hear that.
It was not very comfortable but it was not worse than I was worried about.

Last night, I didn’t drink so much but I think my condition was not very good.
I took a day off today and spent most of the time in bed in the morning.
For shame!
I have to be careful for my drinking because of my age.

I bought it last June so the manufacturer replaced it to a new one for free.
I liked the design of that model very much but they no longer make that model.
Luckily, there was the same one remaining in another store, so I could get it.

I checked the result on the web site at the time when they opened the result.
I couldn’t reach the site because of congestion of the line just after the opening time, and I could recognize the result that he passed the test after a few minutes later.
Congratulations!

The doctor said it needs some inspections involving an endoscopy just in case.
I’ve never had an endoscopy inspection for intestines so far.
I made a reservation for that inspection in two weeks.

It was little bit warm like early spring in Tokyo today.
Spring is a season of meetings and farewell.

The soft tennis was modified from tennis in Japan a long time ago and many Japanese students play it now.
It uses a rubber ball and a racket which is lighter than the tennis's one.
I sometimes enjoyed playing soft tennis after graduating University but stopped it about 10 years ago because of my severe back pain.
Recently, my back has been good, so I would like to play it again someday in the future.

I have been very busy consecutive three days this week.
I didn’t have enough time to have lunch so I did PC work with having a bite of some Onigiri - which is a Japanese mobile food something like a compressed steamed rice ball with some ingredients – during lunch time today.
I hope tomorrow will be a calm day.

It is very difficult but important to manage to do several different tasks efficiently.
The task that I can manage myself is OK but the one which needs other coworkers cooperate is sometimes hard to manage.
I was exhausted today.

I had used it over 10 years and I gave it to him.

I am very glad he liked it and uses it with affection.

I used to do exercise walking in the early morning on weekends, but I have suspended it because it is cold and dark in winter.
