June 16th I made a mistake the other day. I misunderstood the date to have to fill in, and I wrote another dates down in the forms. This problem interrupted my colleagues' work. I didn't think I made some mistakes, and my procedures was made by asking my colleagues. This issue beat me down and I felt depressed the other day. Yesterday I consulted for my senior colleague in another department, and I felt better than the other day. Although my works would be late, I will check my procedure again for while.

July 14th I was invited to play tennis last Saturday. It was very sunny and dry, so I felt dusty from the ground. I played tennis second time in my life, and I thought it was difficult to start a new hobby in older age. I assumed my movement would be different from my image, but I didn't know because I recorded my play...However, it was funny to do something I had never done. After that, we went for lunch. We ate Korean food. I ate it after a long time .

July 4th I didn't noticed yesterday was Independence day. I don't usually take care for the date, so I was surprised to see there were just few of people in town and my workplace. I researched about Independence day on web site, and it showed me that the day is one of the special day in U.S. I thought it is nice to prize their memorial day. After finishing my duty, I wondered whether I went to sightseeing or not, cycling beside a river or not, and so on. However, I decided to go home because I don't like to be with many people. It would give me more stress. In my house, while watching TV, I read a book, did another work and laundry. At night, I heard fireworks outside. I noticed that I didn't have food in refrigerator, so I went out for a shop. However, although it had opened in afternoon, it was closed earlier at night.

Sadness of June In this July, Osaka was hit by earthquake. I lived in Osaka, at the north side, 4 months ago. Japan has many earthquake because of several borders of crustal plates and we often hear the news even if an earthquake was small size. Then, at first, when I checked it on web site, I didn't know whether it was small size or not, and disastrous or not. I emailed ex-colleagues in Osaka, and he told me that our workplace was suffer from being flooded because the water tank on the top roof was broken. In addition, I got several information about this disaster. I was sorry about it. I hope it will be fine as soon as possible.

June 23rd I was invited to play the tennis last weekend. I have never played the tennis. There were 7 people. 3 of 7 were first people I have ever met. The senior one taught me how to swing a racket. It seemed to be difficult to do it for the first time, but I got to be used to play it somehow. After the tennis, we went to lunch. I ate Kaki-fly, which is flied-oysters. I was satisfied with lunch. After going home. I fell asleep.

June 21th I went to a social security office yesterday again. I had already applied to a social security number about two months ago, but I didn't get it yet. I went there by bike because it was sunny and wind was very comfortable. The contrast of the river and buildings is very striking. In the way, I went wrong direction and it took 30 or 40 minutes (although my navigation had showed that it would take 17 minutes...). I waited for about 30 minutes and the staff called my number. I told a staff that my card didn't reach my address, although I had already finished my process. She told me that it was not registered without apology. I applied again and it will come two weeks later. Will it come, doesn't it?

June 10th I did Kendo yesterday after a long time. I was busy on May, so I had not been able to go to a Dojo. I arrived there a little late and I couldn't exercise enough. When I moved my body,I felt comfortable for stiff muscles at first. However, more I moved, more I felt tired. At last My image of my movement and actual foots movement were so different that I stumbled. I recognized that it was important to exercise everyday for my health and a prevention of injury. I am feeling muscle pains and tired, but I have to go to work...

June 2nd, 2 I met ex-colleagues whom I had worked with after a long time. We went to watch baseball game which is Seattle Mariners vs Tampa Bay Rays. When audiences were very excited, we drunk beers and talked to each other. I don't forget that it was in comfortable atmosphere because the beer in the stadium seemed to be tasty, a home run was hit, and everyone was excited to watch it. I called a seafood restaurant to make a reservation while in the game, and after the game, we went for dinner. We ordered clam chowders, raw oysters, calamari and local beers.

June 2nd, 1 I went to Seattle for the first time. I felt that the view around the airport was rural, but the downtown was very modern. In addition there were many slopes, so I got tired to go up to the hotel. I visited the Public Market.There were many people and many shops which sold fish, flowers, wine, arts and so on. I was hungry, so ate clam chowder and raw oysters before going to the first Starbucks. They were very tasty. There was a long line in front of the Starbucks. I waited in a line while taking some photos and got into the shop. I went around the seaside with drinking coffee.
