The world best cleaner? 世界一の洗剤？
Sink and bathtub 洗面台とバスタブ I had been thinking about deep cleaning sinks and a bathtub for a while. AND I had been so lazy to go shopping and tired of getting new stuff. I just happened to remember that I had baking soda. After scrubbing with baking soda, a little water and my muscle…Voila❣️My sinks…

Eco Field Trip to Holiday Shop by ReClaim It エコな遠足でReClaim Itのホリデーショップに行きました🎁🌲🔔
This is not just about saving materials from going to landfill, it is more about decreasing the consumption of new materials. You know, making new stuff costs the environment, by mining, manufacturing, shipping, using and at last, sending to landfill. Do you know what the stuff you buy is causing around the world, at mining…

How to choose a car (in my way) part 3 (私なりの)車の選び方パート3
I cannot believe it’s been already 2.5 months since I wrote part 2 of my car buying journey. I had been very busy with my second work as a Metro’s committee member. But I am back here! 前回パート2を書いてから2ヶ月半も経ってるなんて信じられない。Metroの委員会の仕事でとっても忙しかったのよ~。でも戻ってきました！ What I was going to write about…was how I actually bought a car at a dealer. で、何を書こうとしてたんだっけ。。。どうやってディーラーで車を買ったか、だった。…

How to choose a car (in my way) part 2 (私なりの)車の選び方パート2
As written in Part 1, I have decided to buy an EV. There are soooo many now! (well, we can’t buy Chinese brand in the US, though😜) At first, I was thinking about buying a used Chevy Bolt (discontinued in 2023) since it is cheap and has decent range, but there are other affordable options…

Time to Say Goodbye さよならをいう時
14 years since my ex and I bought this car and almost 10 years since I started driving it, the time has come to replace it. The car was still good if I would have got it fixed, but it came to the point that it doesn’t make sense to do it and continue using…

Stop Explosion💥 ストップ、爆発💥
Explosion happens all the time. しょっちゅう爆発してます。 Almost every day. 毎日のように。 At waste transfer stations. ゴミ収集分別所で。 It is dangerous⚠️, may cause fire🔥, injury 🤕and disrupting operation. 危険⚠️だし、火事になるかもしれないし🔥、怪我人が出るかもしれないし🤕、ラインが止まる。 So, please stop putting batteries in trash or recycle bin‼️ だからやめてね。電池をゴミやリサイクルにいれるの‼️ Not just bare batteries. Also electronics. 裸の電池だけじゃなくて。電気製品も。 In unincorporated Washington county where I live, we can recycle batteries…

I don’t know why but I made my co-workers laugh😜 よくわからないけどウケた😜
“You are welcome to bring your own bag next time😊” 「次はマイバッグを持ってきてくださいね😊」 That’s what I said. AT MY PHARMACY PICK UP WINDOW. って、言ったのよ。薬局の窓口で。 I don’t know why but this made my co-workers laugh😜 よくわからないけど、これがウケたみたい😜 My thought process went like this over several months. -(We automatically put medications in a brown paper bag and give it to…

My First Darning ダーニングに挑戦
You may wonder why the image doesn’t match with the title. Or, you simply wonder what darning is. The image above is the reason I repair stuff rather than buy a new one. もしかすると、写真がタイトルと合ってない、と思っていませんか？そもそもダーニングって何かしら？実は、私が新しい物を買わずに修理をする理由が上のイメージにあるんです。 Stuff is made out of some ingredients and the ingredients don’t magically appear from nowhere. Everything is made out of resources…

My MacBook is broken…マック壊れた。。。
I hadn’t had a chance to post anything new since August last year. But here I am. I am back! 去年の8月からブログ書いていませんでしたが、戻ってきました！ In the meantime, my MacBook died on me😢 I took it to an Apple Store, but they couldn’t fix it. They couldn’t even turn it on…and I was also told that it is too…
