Today's dinner, the first meal of the day.
Sushi to go.
I've become their regular customer.
I can go there in a wheelchair, a minute walk from, No, a minute roll from my place.
Pine, Bamboo, or Plum sushi platter; the price decreases in Yen 500 increment.
Today I opted for the mid-priced bamboo platter.
3000 Yen.
The left over of wine from the last night paired perfectly with
The cheese.
Today's happiness received, part one.
I received a humedifier as a gift.
Thank you, K.P.
I tried it out immediately.
There is a trick.
Operated along with a negative ions generator, it would boosed the generation of negative ions and it will have a positive effect for ALS.
It was Mr. K's advice.
There is no medication prescribed for ALS.
Patients have no choice but to try out whatever people say works
And they try at any cost.
A negative ions generator
A humidifier
My can-do attitude
And KP's determination.
Those are all I need.
On switching the humidifier on
Warm steam started to rise
The glass window blocking off the cold outside air started to sweat
I sensed the temperature rise.
The outside is so cold, the inside is warm.
I wished the warm tranquility would last forever.
I wished with my whole heart.
Today's happiness received, part two.
At the head of my solitary bed
I fell asleep holding the steam.
I wish with my whole heart your love would not melt away.
