Last year's New Year's resolution, it was "walk then thousand steps a day"
昨年の「新年の抱負」は、たしか「歩く」だった。１万歩。
How did that go? ✖ of course.
That said, I almost made it to 8,000 steps most days.
But 10,0000 ―― that's tougher than it sounds.
結果は？ もちろん✖
ただし、８千歩はほぼ達成したよ。でも、１万歩はなかなか難しい。
Now then, what about this year's resolution?
今年の抱負はどうするかな。
Whenever I think about starting something fun, fun isn't free.
何か楽しいことを始めようとするとお金がかかる。
If I knew how long I'm going to live, I could work backward and see how much I can use. I'm still working a bit, but money doesn't come in steadily like when I was fully employed. There are just too many unknowns to calculate properly.
何歳まで生きるのかわかっていれば、逆算して余裕の有無がわかるんだけどなあ。仕事しているといっても現役時代のように定額で入ってくるわけではない。不確定要素が大きすぎて計算できない。
Then again, knowing the exact age when I'll say "goodbye" would be pretty scary, wouldn't it?
Honestly, I'm so selfish LOL
じゃあ何歳で「さよなら～」なのかを知ってしまうのも怖い話だよね。
わがままだな～（笑）
By the way, my favorite stick bread used to come with five pieces, when I happened to notice, it had gone from five to four! Same price, thought. Ah, yes, so that's how it is. The famous "stealth price hike"
大好きだったスティックブレッド、いつも５本入ってたのに、ふと気がつくと４本になってた! 金額は変わらない。そういうことか～。ステルス値上げってやつだ。
In times like these, it feels like I can't decide anything without a calculator in hand.
こういうご時世、電卓片手じゃないと、なにも決められないよ。
So...... what should my New Year's resolution be this year?
さて、今年の抱負をどうしようか……
