It rained like crazy today. It's okay...it HAS to rain, but don't want it when I have to do so many things outside like today!!!
Started my day doing the laundry. No time to hang the laundry because we were late for Julie's SADO (Japanese tea ceremony) class. Yes - Julie, 8 years old, she's learning Japanese culture! She saw me doing it and she got inspired by the movements and silence, and asked me & my husband if she can learn! We didn't believe that such a young girl would be SO interested in SADO, but she's been learning for a couple of months and she loves it! Yes, go on girl! Inherit the Japanese tradition!!! And she's a fast learner!
Quickly went home to hang the laundry, then off to the dentist. Did some grocery shopping for the weekend, came home, cooked lunch & dinner at the same time, munching a sandwich))) JUST SO BUSY to sit and eat! What made me so busy was that I had this interpreting job to do for a friend who is giving a wine seminar in the evening. Being a housewife and a mom is not so simple. Plus if you have work, who's going to cook and do housework? My husband doesn't cook, Julie's too young to cook for the family...which means that I need to do that. I am very thankful to my husband, for letting me do all kinds of work that I'm interested in, letting me do whatever I want to do...As an appreciation, or I can say, in return, I really must do all the housework and cooking!!! My responsibility is to keep my family happy. If Julie's happy, and if my husband is also happy and satisfied in the house, I feel great.
But...ABSOLUTELY I'm so grateful that Asahi-chan is here! She is helping me so much. She helps me prepare meals, do the dishes, and babysit Julie!!! Maybe that's why I could go out tonight to work...
It was my first time, actually interpreting for a wine seminar. Honestly speaking, I don't really know about wine because I can drink only a tiny bit...But I thought I should give it a shot and see how it goes. Even if I don't drink so much, it's always good to know new things. Always think positive! And I DID learn a lot and it was actually fun!!! My curiosity made me enjoy the event! I liked the people who came today too! And I loved the restaurant!
Now...from tomorrow a big international conference will start in Nagoya. Have you heard of MOP5, COP10? From 190 countries, over 8000people are coming to the site. It's a big conference for biodiversity. And I'm going to take part. Interpretation at the press conference room!Working except for Thursdays and Sundays, from morning to evening. Just like a full-time worker!!!
What I worry is the communication with Julie and meals!!! I hope I could do everything smoothly...Asahi-chan is going to cooperate, which I reallly appreciate!!! She made chocolate mousse today! I'm so excited to eat it tomorrow!
Cheers!;)
