☁️ This morning’s sky and temperature in Urasoe
This morning in Urasoe, the sky was **mostly cloudy with occasional sunny breaks**.
At 9 a.m., the temperature was **24°C**, humidity was **71%**, and the wind was blowing from the northeast at **around 8 m/s**—a slightly strong breeze.
Although it feels muggy from the morning, the breeze makes it feel a bit more bearable. It looks like a day when laundry will dry easily, as long as it isn’t too thick.
🩺 Changes in My Health and Medication Side Effects
For the past few days, I haven’t been feeling well enough to write a blog post, and the cause was a **change in my medication for high blood pressure and kidney issues**.
Although my doctor told me that “side effects rarely occur in most people,” it seems I have a constitution that causes severe **fatigue, nausea, and lethargy** every time I take new medication.
I started taking the new medication on Monday, and today (Friday) I finally feel like I’m starting to get used to it.
Those first few days while my body adjusted to the medication were really tough, and I tended to spend a lot of time lying down, but I’ve finally regained the energy to write this blog post.
🍎 My Morning Routine and How My Mom Is Doing
This morning started off just like any other day.
- – Check the weather
- – Run the washing machine
- – Prepare breakfast
- – Wake up my mother
My mother got up once, but when she said, “I’m going back to sleep,” and tried to return to bed,
I told her, “Please eat breakfast, take your medicine, and check your blood pressure before you go back to sleep,” and guided her to a chair.
Breakfast was **half an apple pie and tea**.
After taking her medicine, my mother went back to bed.
Lately, she often sleeps for long stretches after lunch until the evening, and it looks like today will be another one of those days.
🧺 Cleaning Up the Balcony and How I’ll Spend the Morning
I finally got a chance to catch my breath after putting away the stuff I’d moved off the balcony when the air conditioner was installed the other day, hanging up the laundry, and taking out the trash.
I plan to spend the morning writing my blog and doing a little tidying up around the house.
While Mom is sleeping, things are quiet, so I’d like to take it easy and rest a bit, keeping an eye on how I’m feeling.
🚗 Installing the Car Navigation System This Afternoon
This afternoon, I plan to proceed with installing the **Android-powered audio navigation system** I bought to replace my car’s broken navigation unit.
I finished checking the wiring and power supply yesterday evening, so today will mainly involve **adjusting the mounting position**.
This kind of work requires concentration, but I’ll proceed at a pace that doesn’t strain me, while keeping an eye on how I’m feeling.
🌿 To Spend a Peaceful Day
Even though I’m not feeling 100%, I managed to get through my morning chores, care for my mother, and do a little bit of what I wanted to do.
It’s not perfect yet, but I’d like to spend today keeping in mind the motto: **“Do what I can, within my limits.”**
