Daily Life in a Care Facility in Minatogawa, Urasoe, Okinawa, and This Morning’s Scene | A Record of Life Under Rainy Skies (September 3, 2026)

☁️ This Morning’s Sky and Seasonal Air in Urasoe, Okinawa

This morning in Urasoe, Okinawa, the sky is overcast due to the typhoon. The temperature is around 28°C, with humidity at about 90%, and the air feels muggy. The rain keeps coming and going, and it’s a morning where you can really feel the seasonal changes in atmospheric pressure. In Okinawa, people’s health tends to fluctuate when a typhoon approaches, and daily routines are often influenced by the weather. Today, I’ll record what this morning was like in Minatogawa.

🏠 Morning Care and My Mother’s Condition

Last night, both my mother and I slept lightly, dozing on and off, so we woke up feeling a bit tired this morning. I prepared rolled omelet and grilled salmon for breakfast, but my mother sat there without picking up her chopsticks; she only started eating after I urged her, “Please eat.”

“I’m so sleepy—I don’t want to get up.” “I’m going back to sleep!”

As she said these things, as usual, she only took her medicine after I reminded her to do so. Today was supposed to be “100-Year-Old Exercise” day, but since she wasn’t feeling well, she decided to skip it and went back to bed.

Due to unstable atmospheric pressure caused by the typhoon, she’s been suffering from a migraine that’s persisted since last week. It’s been a challenge managing her health, as taking stronger medication causes diarrhea.

🌧️ Tips for Living During Typhoon Season

During typhoon season in Okinawa, changes in atmospheric pressure can easily upset one’s health, and for families providing care, daily routines tend to get particularly disrupted. ・Move slowly in the morning ・Stay hydrated frequently ・Lower indoor humidity ・Avoid overbooking your schedule

These small adjustments can help stabilize one’s health.

💭 Looking for Remote Work and My Current Feelings

Ever since before Obon, my mornings have been hectic with caregiving, and I’ve had days in a row where I couldn’t even find time to write my blog. I’m also looking for remote work, but with requirements like going into the office once a week or locations in Osaka or Tokyo, it’s been difficult to find a job that’s compatible with caregiving.

While I wonder if the claims in those videos about “earning money with simple tasks” are really true, I continue caring for my mother today as well.

🌿 Summary

It’s a morning in Minatogawa with the sound of typhoon rain still falling. I’ll keep an eye on my mother’s health and do my best to get through today, one step at a time. That’s how this day begins.
