My Actifit Report Card: May 22 2024 👟 First time in a long time to exceed 7,000 steps / 久しぶりの7,000歩超え

【English】

I've been a little tired lately and have been away from posting blogs (and my computer has been acting up and I can't press enter). Not that there was anything in particular wrong with me, but maybe it was the lack of sleep and the bad weather.

Also, a few times a year I get to a point in my life where I want to write something but can't get any writing done at all, but maybe that was it... I think I'll be able to write something today, so I'll be back from actifit!

Today's step count was over 7,000, making it a day of so-so walking. I walked around the neighborhood this afternoon when I had some errands to run, and in the evening I went shopping with my second son at a supermarket a short distance away. Lately it has been raining or windy, so I have not been walking outside very slowly, but today I saw hollyhocks blooming near the post office and was a little surprised to see how the season is progressing.

I love this flower. I find the way they grow straight up to the sky and bloom with their large size flowers very cool. I remember seeing them blooming by the garage at my parents' house. The one I saw today is rouge, I guess. I often see pink hollyhocks, but the rouge color is also very nice.

In the evening, I went shopping with my second son. The supermarket is larger than the one we usually go to and has a large selection of goods. I don't like to take my second son to this kind of supermarket as much as possible... because he gets very confused when choosing snacks. Even at the small supermarket where we usually go, he has a hard time choosing just one snack he wants. There was no way he could make a quick decision at a supermarket like today, where there are so many products... As expected, it took him a very long time.

I put natto (fermented soybeans), bread, detergent, and other items in my basket, returning to the snack section each time to check on my son, but he remained motionless with his arms folded and staring at the merchandise shelves. The other day, when I took him to "Okashi no Machioka," he was in a state of confusion. It's easy for my elder son to make a quick decision at times like this, though.

I feel like I have walked a lot for the first time in a long time. I want to actifit a lot before it gets too hot.

このところちょっと疲れてしまって、ブログ投稿から遠ざかっていました（PCの調子も悪いし）。特に何があったというわけでもないのですが、多分寝不足だったのと、天気が悪かったせいかな。

あと、年に数回何か書こうと思っても全く文章がまとまらない時期がやってくるのですが、それだったのかな・・・今日は何となく書けそうなので、actifitから復活です！

今日は7,000歩超と、まあまあ歩いた日となりました。午後に少し用事があって近所をウロウロしたのと、夕方に次男と一緒に少し離れたスーパーまで買い物に行ったのとで歩数を稼ぐことができました。最近は雨だったり、風が強かったりであまり外をゆっくり歩くことがなかったのですが、郵便局の近くにタチアオイが咲いているのを見てもうこんな季節か！と。

この花、好きなんです。空に向かってまっすぐに伸び、大判の花を咲かせている様子が何ともカッコいい。実家の車庫の脇にも咲いていた記憶があります。今日見たのは臙脂色、というのでしょうか。ピンクが主流なイメージがありますが、これもまたカッコいい。

夕方は次男と買い物へ。普段行くスーパーより大きく、品数も豊富なスーパーです。こういうスーパーには、できるだけ次男を連れて行きたくないんですけどね… というのも、次男はお菓子選びでめちゃくちゃ迷う奴なんです。いつも買い物に行く小型のスーパーでさえ、欲しいお菓子を一つ選ぶのにものすごく悩むんです。今日みたいな、商品数が多いスーパーですぐ決められるわけもなく… 案の定、とても時間がかかりました。

私は納豆、パン、洗剤、と商品をカゴに入れ、その都度お菓子コーナーに戻って次男の様子を窺うのですが、腕組みをしてじっと商品棚を睨んだまま動きませんでした。先日も「おかしのまちおか」に連れて行ったところ、大混乱状態でした。こういう時、長男なら大抵即決なのでラクなんですけどね。

久しぶりにたくさん歩いた気がします。暑くなるまえに、たくさんactifitしたいと思います。
