impression the hot springs in the mountain were very good going in the hot springs while getting a view of the scenery felt very nice i heard that you can't wear a swimsuit in japanese hot springs

need to lose a little weight before then i gained about three kilograms in the last two years really you don't look any different though i know it very well myself don't worry about it being healthy

headache but i'm not coughing do you have a fever i had it this morning but right now my temperature is normal that's good to hear the outdoor party from last time might have caused you to get too cold that might be it i was wearing thin clothing that day drink something warm get some rest thank you for worrying about me should i buy you something later um i'm sorry to ask but can you buy milk and eggs of course do you have anything else then also apples and strawberries please got it does it look like you can eat dinner i'm not having much appetite i can make chicken soup if you'd like that's great can you eat tomatoes let's put some tomatoes in too thank you i think i can eat if it's tomatoes chicken soup is the best when you have a cold when i was young my mom often made it for me she's a kind mother yeah i'm really grateful for my mom that must be why you're also very kind thanks for telling me that then i'll buy some things and visit you later i think it'll be around seven thanks for everything no worries when i caught a cold last time you also did a lot of things for me didn't you but you must be busy with work lately i'm busy but today is friday so it's all good when i recover let's do something fun let's do that for now get a good rest yeah i'll do that then see you later yeah see you later father suddenly feel ill i'm sorry i'm late what happened i missed the train that's rare you're usually punctual to tell you the truth i didn't get to sleep much yesterday so that's why you missed the train yeah it was really hectic last night did something happen last night i suddenly got a call from my mom oh really she said that my dad collapsed so i rushed to get there and my dad was lying on the floor oh no did you call the ambulance immediately of course when we got to the hospital they told us he needed surgery immediately oh no that's really horrible yeah on top of that the surgery took four hours that must have been worrisome i was with my mom but i couldn't help but worry the surgery ended in a success though and there was nothing that put his life in danger that's good to hear i'm really grateful for god but his right leg doesn't really move what then what is he going to do from now on apparently he needs to go through rehabilitation from now on if he does rehabilitation will he be back to how he was we don't know yet as of now there's nothing else but to work hard on his rehabilitation oh i see my dad who used to be so healthy is now weak and i'm kind of sad i know how you feel i felt the same when my mom was hospitalized too i guess we are the ones who need to be stronger but thank you so much for listening to a lot of what i had to say no problem i'll listen to you anytime you should go home earlier and get a rest but i have a lot of work left to do it'll be all right if you tell the manager of the situation he will definitely understand everyone knows that you're always seriously working hard but i need to get it done by tomorrow really don't worry about work because i'll also help thanks i'm really grateful no problem we should help each other in times of need my eating habits i always eat a good amount of breakfast for example my breakfast this morning was a salad eggs sausages bread and a tomato soup i love to wake up early in the morning and make a delicious breakfast eating breakfast while feeling the sunshine is the best this has been something i've always done since childhood there were four kids in my family and all of them loved sports everyone had a huge appetite from the morning because of that my mom always woke up early and made a hearty breakfast thanks to that my mind and body worked very well from the morning a while ago when my friend slept over at my house she was very surprised after seeing the breakfast i had prepared my friend is the type who can't eat a lot in the mornings so apparently she always only has a cup of coffee according to my friend if she eats a lot in the morning she feels unpleasant in my case i always lessen my lunch if i eat a lot for lunch i get sleepy in the afternoons making my work efficiency slow down my friend and i are complete opposites because she doesn't eat much for breakfast she gets very hungry around 11. that's why she apparently eats a lot for lunch it seems like everyone has different rhythms for their body i saw on the tv a while ago but there are also people who only eat once per day instead of having breakfast and lunch they apparently eat around 2500 kilocalories for their dinner i'm worried about their health if they eat like that but the people who do that looks very healthy themselves they exercise a lot daily so apparently they don't gain weight even if they eat a lot at night i can never copy them one of my friends only eats a salad for dinner that friend also goes to the gym and is very skinny i copied her once and only ate salad for dinner however i gave up after two days if i don't eat meat or fish for the main dish of dinner i can't sleep in the night because of hunger in the end i woke up at midnight and ate one slice of bread with one glass of milk and then i was finally able to sleep peacefully depending on the country there also may be times when you eat five meals in a day there are doctors who say that eating four to five light meals is more healthy for the body however eating three meals a day is the best for my body i think it's all good if you have a balanced diet and feel like your body is in a good condition invitation to volunteer activities hey emily hi jack are you free this saturday this saturday i promised to go watch a movie with my friend i see i had a favor i wanted to ask you what's it about it's a volunteer work to distribute food but we don't have enough people from what time to what time is it it's from 8 in the morning to 11. i see we plan to go to the movie from 10 in the morning but i can ask if we can change it i'm sorry it's a sudden request i just discussed it with my friend and we can change to watching the movie at night thanks it helps us so much no problem what should i do i want you to divide up the foods and pack it in boxes all right where should we meet up can you come to my house around seven that's fine my other friends are also planning to come to my house earlier after that let's depart together okay jack weren't you bad at waking up early in the mornings that's true but i could just sleep earlier the night before do you guys have this volunteer work every week yeah every saturdays at the same time i can't go every week but i can help twice a month thanks even if it's twice a month it helps us a lot do you have anything else that i could help with hmm can i ask you to get the foods from the grocery store you only have to go there once a month but you have to go there with your car going with my car sounds fine i'm relieved then see you on saturday yeah see you on saturday my daily routine i want to talk about my daily routine today my alarm goes off every morning at 6 20 on weekdays i always wake up around 10 minutes after that which would be 6 30 i go to the bathroom first and after drinking a glass of water i start making breakfast my breakfast is usually a salad boiled egg and one slice of bread when it's seven i go wake up my child who's in elementary while eating breakfast i watch the news with my child or have a conversation my child often talks about school when we talk while eating around 7 40 my child and husband leave the house together i take care of the

child on sunday mornings my husband and i take care of the garden on sunday afternoons we all do what we want my husband often takes our child to go watch some sports i go shopping or to the hair salon one week ends in a blur however being surrounded by my children and husband whom i love i'm happy asking for directions to the bookstore excuse me we'd like to go to this bookstore but how do we get there it's some distance to go there how much would it take by foot around 20 minutes if it's around 20 minutes we're okay with it can you see that there's a bank there yes i see go right at the path on the side of the bank and walk two blocks oh yes next if you see a grocery store on the left hand side go left at the corner of the grocery store then walk straight for about three blocks if you see a five-story building on the right-hand side next go in there this bookstore is on the third floor of that building oh i see thank you very much you're welcome okay let's head to the bookstore you really do love bookstores yeah it's because when you go to a bookstore you can see a different unknown world i often buy books on the internet when you know which books you want to buy i guess it's easier to use the internet what kind of books do you like i love science fiction novels i also like mystery novels too how about you i like historical novels it's my first time at a foreign bookstore so i'm excited me too there really isn't anything to do today so let's take our time to look at them are you going to buy a lot well i want to buy as much as i can from my budget after we

pay with cash or credit credit please also can we get it to go box yes sir thank you for coming today it's i who should say so thank you for the delicious meal i'll come in again in the near future discussing whether to stay with mother i have something i want to talk about sure you know that our child will be born in two months right yeah i can't wait to finally meet our baby me too but it's my first delivery and i don't have any child-rearing experience there's anxiety right me too but if the two of us work hard together it'll definitely go well but you're busy with work and i also love the work i'm doing right now so i want to get back to work as soon as possible how about hiring a babysitter but i'm worried about letting a stranger take care of my baby then what do you want to do i actually got a call from my mom today she suggested us to live together with her for a while after i deliver our baby i appreciate the sentiment but how do you feel about it if we live together at her house our rent would be free she would also do all the house chores and take care of our child and we can consult her of parenting too i don't think it's just all good things my friend also lived together with their parents for a while but it seemed like it was really difficult for them why first of all since their ages are different their rules and rhythms of daily life are different but since she's my parent how about we just discuss it with her not only that but they also start interfering with a lot of things apparently they can only barely get any personal time as husband and wife there will be a distance between the husband and wife relationship too my mom is really nice so i think it'll be okay my mom lives alone so she doesn't feel like she is in need and feels sad but doesn't your mom have friends that go walking together even if she does have friends that go walking with her it's not like they see each other every day nor have meals together does your mother cook by herself every day my mom isn't motivated to cook for just herself and apparently she just eats randomly for her meals but if we do live together as a family she said that cooking every day will feel a lot more fun well there's a lot of merits but i'm not keen on this idea i want to live like how we used to with freedom if our baby is born we won't be able to have freedom like we used to have on top of that if we are both tired it's likely that we're going to be stressed that's certainly true too are there any good ideas how about this we won't live together with your mother but how about we rent a house near your mother's house if we do that she could help us out with baby and we could eat together some days of the week at the same time we could also keep our personal time too that's a pretty good idea i'll tell my mom tomorrow she'll probably be happy all right let's go search for a property this weekend sounds good i'm looking forward for it we have to buy a lot of baby products too we also have to choose a name for our baby there's a lot of things to do from now on but i'm so excited speaking practice let's read aloud with the voiceover scheduling a weekend meetup with a friend are you free this saturday i'm free then do you want to go eat some italian food together sounds good since i haven't been eating italian foods lately i know a good place what kind of place is

get it to go box yes sir thank you for coming today it's i who should say so thank you for the delicious meal i'll come in again in the near future discussing whether to stay with mother i have something i want to talk about sure you know that our child will be born in two months right yeah i can't wait to finally meet our baby me too but it's my first delivery and i don't have any child rearing experience there's anxiety right me too but if the two of us work hard together it'll definitely go well but you're busy with work and i also love the work i'm doing right now so i want to get back to work as soon as possible how about hiring a babysitter but i'm worried about letting a stranger take care of my baby then what do you want to do i actually got a call from my mom today she suggested us to live together with her for a while after i deliver our baby i appreciate the sentiment but how do you feel about it if we live together at her house our rent would be free she would also do all the house chores and take care of our child and we can consult her of parenting too i don't think it's just all good things my friend also lived together with their parents for a while but it seemed like it was really difficult for them why first of all since their ages are different their rules and rhythms of daily life are different but since she's my parent how about we just discuss it with her not only that but they also start interfering with a lot of things apparently they can only barely get any personal time as husband and wife there will be a distance between the husband and wife relationship too my mom is really nice so i think it'll be okay my mom lives alone so she doesn't feel like she is in need and feels sad but doesn't your mom have friends that go walking together even if she does have friends that go walking with her it's not like they see each other every day nor have meals together does your mother cook by herself every day my mom isn't motivated to cook for just herself and apparently she just eats randomly for her meals but if we do live together as a family she said that cooking every day will feel a lot more fun well there's a lot of merits but i'm not keen on this idea i want to live like how we used to with freedom if our baby is born we won't be able to have freedom like we used to have on top of that if we are both tired it's likely that we're going to be stressed that's certainly true too are there any good ideas how about this we won't live together with your mother but how about we rent a house near your mother's house if we do that she could help us out with baby and we could eat together some days of the week at the same time we could also keep our personal time too that's a pretty good idea i'll tell my mom tomorrow she'll probably be happy all right let's go search for a property this weekend sounds good i'm looking forward for it we have to buy a lot of baby products too we also have to choose a name for our baby there's a lot of things to do from now on but i'm so excited you
