I’ve been suffering from a thyroid disease and going through tough days.

Do you know about subacute thyroiditis? I didn’t even know the name of this disease until I got it. It’s a condition where inflammation occurs in the thyroid gland, causing tissue damage, which leads to symptoms such as pain, fever, increased heart rate, fatigue, and overproduction of thyroid hormones. I’ve been feeling unwell for a month, but initially, I thought it was just a cold and that delayed my doctor’s visit. Finally, treatment has started this week, and now, thanks to the medication, the physical discomfort has eased.

Being ill makes me re-appreciate the convenience of my normal life, which I usually take for granted. Conversely, it shows how much we neglect our health.

Last night. I went to bed and put my head on the new pillow I bought and within 3 minutes, my neck badly hurt. I’ve been putting medicine on my neck all day, but the pain hasn’t gone away and it’s unbearable. This damn pillow. Unbelievable.

Did you know that there is a butcher shop in Japan that sells croquettes that have a 43-year waiting list?

I have been living in Japan for a long time, but I learned about it for the first time today. I was astonished that a business that makes you wait 43 years for your purchase to be delivered after you pay the money can survive, when no one can foresee what will happen to themselves or their surroundings in 43 years. I thought it was some kind of joke at first.

In case you’re interested, their croquettes are on sale for 2700 yen for 5 pieces plus shipping.

It’s a sunny day after several depressing, chilly rainy days.

Sunlight is so bright! Producing vitamin D!
