Sleepiness and urgency
When I make breakfast, I explain every step of the breakfast-making process to the people I am talking to while on the voice chat.
This wakes me up and reduces the number of mistakes.
I have just woken up, but the people I am talking to have been up since the night before.
While riding the train to near my workplace, I became very sleepy and dozed off.
I was dreaming.
A woman with long hair was pushing a stroller on the train.
When I woke up it was a dream.
By the way, on 25 May this year, I went to karaoke with my husband and we both sang Kenji Ozawa's 'Aishi Aisarete Ikirunosa'.
My husband sang Kenji Ozawa's part and I sang Megumi Mashiro's part.
The performance was so good that I have been listening to the recording over and over.
Listening to it cheers me up.
Unlike my husband, I am not used to harmonising other people's songs, and I tend to get caught up in melodies that are not my own.
However, it is not good if I concentrate only on my own melody, so it is not easy.
So far, I have sung in the musical Mozart!'s 'Aishite Ireba Wakariaeru' at karaoke with my husband, but the song was difficult.
We are from the generation directly hit by Flipper's Guitar, so we remember the songs from Kenji Ozawa's hit album 'LIFE'.
We are thinking about what song we should sing together next, but it is difficult to find a candidate.
Yesterday, I was putting nombre in the notebook I use at work.
Nombre is a word used in Japan and it means number of pages.
It is easier later on to know what is on which page if you have a table of contents.
However, I doubt if I have the time to go back and read what I have written.
Today I will have more time alone at my desk, so I want to transcribe what I have learned.
I'm in a hurry because I haven't caught up with my notes.
Anyway, I want to leave something I can refer to, whether it's a paper notebook or a spreadsheet.

Today, during the day, I tried to do by myself what I had been taught until yesterday, but I made a big mistake.
If I make a mistake there, I can't go on to the advanced part.
The day ended with attaching readable letters beside the worm-like letters I had scribbled in my notebook.
It is a different kind of difficulty than I have experienced before.
I could number the pages and make a table of contents.
I could not transcribe the content.
In total, I worked eight working days.
The first five working days were like having a gas pedal on the floor all the time.
It's impossible to keep that up all the time.
So it's only natural that I'm slowing down now.
