Sick

 I had great plans for today!

Get up at 5am, make breakfast and obento. Rest a bit more, prepare lunch, 11am meeting with a judicial scrivener to find out about changing the name on the land we have inherited.  Get back home, make lunch. Then spend the afternoon doing Japanese Walking exercise and studying Japanese. 

My day started out alright, even if I did find it hard to get up at 5am. I thought it was hard because the rooms are so cold, and that once I started moving, I would be alright. The past few mornings have been like that!

I got up, put the heater on, and started to make breakfast. I decided to make a quick consommé soup, boiling the water to cook the vegetables helps to heat up the kitchen. After I made breakfast and obento, I realised I was still feeling rather heavy and just bleh, no energy at all. I crawled back into bed, planning to get up at about 9 o'clock, but when my alarm went off, I was feeling worse. 

I finally got up, didn't start lunch, but had to go to the judicial scrivener's office. Stopped by a drug store on the way, that's when I realised I wasn't just tired but starting to feel sick, maybe the beginning of a cold!

Got through the meeting. We want to try and sell as much of the land as we can, but to do that, we need to change the name on the deeds. I thought all the land was in my mother-in-law's name, but some is in my grandmother-in-law's name, and even in my mother-in-law's sister's name. It's going to cost us about 15,00000 yen, about £7000. I was hoping we could do it bit by bit, but we can't! Another thing that I have to save money for!

I gave up on making lunch, I bought obento instead. I went back to bed this afternoon. I'm at the age where I know I can push myself, but that just means being sick longer. If I need rest, then I'm going to take it! I would rather rest for one day than push myself and end up getting so bad that I need a week to recover!

It's now 5:30 in the evening. I started dinner, looks like doing it bit by bit! I'm sipping hot ginger tea and really hoping that an early night and good sleep will help!

I'm not sure if I've caught what Mikey has been battling the past few days, or if the sudden drop in temperature has caused me to feel bad! The weather went from lovely, spring-like days with highs of 19C to freezing winter with highs less than 5C, overnight! There's a forecast for snow tonight!
