- A Camellia on New Year’s Eve
  Today is the last day of the year.The parking area was completely empty, since many familieshave gone back to their hometowns.On New Year’s Eve, we eat soba for long life. My husband buys soba from the noodle factory near our house every year.I prepared my son’s futon for his return. He went to Comic Market at Tokyo Big Sight with his friends. He had always wanted to go, so it was a dream come true for him.After lunch, I caught a TV show and then picked up a coaching book. The whole town just felt so calm, like you could really sense the year quietly winding down. And when I closed the shutters, I spotted the first camellia blooming in the garden.It made me happy, and I wished for a peaceful year ahead.Thank you for reading my diary today.

- A Mild Day with Yuzu Compote
  It was warm today, and there was no wind. I took the futons outside to dry and cleaned a few rooms.I made yuzu compote for the first time. It simmered for about two hours. It looked delicious, but it turned out a little bitter, so I’ll use it in yogurt.After that, I went out to my vegetable garden and picked some carrots, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and crown daisies. Crown daisies can usually be harvested twice, and since I’ve already picked them twice, they’re not growing much anymore. They’re small now, but I still enjoy picking them.Thank you for reading my diary today.

- A Warm Winter Day
  Today was warm and completely clear, so I put the futons outside to dry. I didn’t sleep very well, but I still got most of the things on my list done.In the morning, I picked some yuzu from the garden. My husband was going to a party with his friends, so he cooked a few dishes in the kitchen before leaving.Later, I went shopping and stopped by the dry cleaner. There were kadomatsu at the entrance of the supermarket, and the store was crowded with people getting ready for the New Year.Thank you for reading my diary today.

- A Slow Day
  I stayed home today because it was just too chilly to go out, so I couldn’t pick up my husband’s suits from the dry cleaner.After breakfast, I stocked the fridge with plenty of meat and fish for the New Year holidays.After that, I have to admit I didn’t do much—I was just feeling a bit lazy today.Thank you for reading my diary today.

- Preparing for the New Year
  Today I had quite a few things to tackle.First, I swept the floors and got that out of the way. Then I took my husband’s suits to the dry cleaner and did some grocery shopping.I stocked up on food and fruit since my son is coming home for the New Year holidays.After that, I headed to the library to return and borrow some books.It was really cold and windy, so I ended up pretty tired, but I feel really satisfied because I got so much done.Thank you for reading my diary today.
