Hotel life - part 2

In such an unusual situation, there seem to be some tips. I wrote down these things.

Using my brain

  In a hotel, I tend to lie in bed, watching TV for a long time. Lying in bed is easy and relaxing but it brought down my dairy rhythm. It is also not good for the mental point of view because my physical condition had gotten worse. If this is a few days' stays, it may be no trouble. But spending over 10 days might affect our body. My symptoms are like feeling tired, sleepy always, feeling bad. I think it is an initial symptom of melancholia.

So I changed my ordinary routine like this.
 - switch off TV
 - Instead of watching TV, listing music using Bluetooth speaker via PC or smartphone
 - sitting on chair instead of lying in bed.
 - using PC, writing something like this, programming using cloud platform(it's same when I was in Osaka)
 - reading books of kindle
Using the brain is very good because it it stimulates the frontal lobe. (Watching TV for no purpose is not good for brain because we don't use my brain and brain function seems to be weakened)

Constant stress stimulates the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal capsule (HPA), and produces cortisol constantly, damaging our hippocampus and frontal lobe. It is said to be one of the mechanisms of melancholia (https://wedge.ismedia.jp/articles/-/373). So doing good things for the brain above improve melancholia. Especially for me, it had an effect on me very much.

Taking exercise

 In a hotel life, I have a little chance of using muscle because the hotel room is small, so walking around about 1 hour over is good for me. My routine for the weekend is to leave the hotel at about 11 AM, buying lunch boxes, eating it at the park, and walking around the town and go back to hotel about 3-4 PM. Using a pedometer is good because I can check the number of my total steps.

Good sleep

 waking up and going to bed at a fixed time is good for good sleep. Sleep is a very important thing for me. It refreshes my brain and brings a fresh feeling. So managing sleeping time is an important thing for me.

Taking balanced diets

 In Osaka, we have balanced diets but in such single life, caring my body is very important. Writing here is one option.

Earthquake happend in Japan

On Friday afternoon, big earthquake had occured. I worked at office at Osaka. At first, next branch's team used TV conference to Tokyo office and tokyo team said earthquake had occured, and a few seconds later, we felt earthquake. Our office is at 11th floor and swing was very big so we felt very awful if our building was collapsed. It was about 2:30 PM. Afterthat, we switched our TV on and saw what happend in Japan, so our work had almost stopped afterthat. (safely, my house in Osaka and my parents and brother and sister's house in Shizuoka-pref. was safe) Magnitude 8.8 was very huge. Newspapers said it is the biggest magnitude earthquke in japan since authority had a record.

Goldsmith College, UK

When I was a graduated student, I went to London and enjoyed summer school at Goldsmith college for about a month, because I wanted to spend good time at that period. Goldsmith college was located near New Cross station and I stayed at dormitory of this college, because at summer time, dormitory was empty due to the summer vacation time. And I happened to watch Flickr yesterday and search the word "New Cross", then found Goldsmith College's & around this area's picture and felt longing for this town. New Cross is located about half an hour from central London by train, so it is very convenient place to go around central London. And this town is not so big (in another saying, feel a little deserted-looking), so I enjoyed the fist experience of abroad in a relaxing mode, so I liked this town very much. If you see this picture , you can see the dormitory(*) where I stayed about 20 years ago, so I am deeply moved. (*) UK's college is started at September, s

It was about 1.5 hour by car and we arrived there about 1 p.m. and ate lunch at okonomiyaki shop " Ito ". This shop is like normal house, and we make okonomiyaki by ourself and we order big size okonomiyaki and big size yakisoba and cost 1230 yen ($12) and tasted very good ! After eating, we went to NINJA MUSEUM of Igaryu . And inside this museum, there hold Ninja show (needed extra cost 300 yen per person) and the last show started at 3 p.m. so we safely watched the last show.

Our new family !

Image
He is our new family and he is our first baby! He was born on 28 May, and this Wednesday he came our home from hospital and 4 days had passed. He is very very bouncing baby so my wife couldn't sleep well, but we love him very much. He cried very loudly so we tried to ease him in various ways, and this picture is one of ways to be quiet. (this red material is a rattle and if I shake this rattle, he is very curious about it and hear this rattle's sound and sometimes stop crying!)
