BloomBloom -the Journey to a Second Career-

I bought a power plug for a junk pc which I bought for training repairing pc. The pc was sold without a power plug. So I bought the plug, however  it was incorrect. The plug size didn’t match the pc. I checked the amount of power but missed the plug size. At last, I bought a connector between the pc and the plug. And it costs additional money. I learned that I should have enough check when I buy something.

I bought a set of repair tools. It includes over a hundred screw heads and various items for repairing electronic devices such as PCs. I also bought a junk PC to practise on. I’ll need to repair laptops in my host country as a volunteer, so I want to get in plenty of practice before I go. I hope my skills will help the people there. The Tools set

Today is my birthday. It’s a holiday called “Midori-no-hi” in Japan. I’ve come back to my parents’ house, so I’m celebrating with my relatives. My birthday is on the same day as my nephew and niece’s — they’re twins. So the three of us are being celebrated together at a big party.

I’m planning to travel to Hokkaido. My family and my parents are going to visit Asahikawa and Biei in Hokkaido. There aren’t many hotels or holiday flats, so I’ve booked a slightly more expensive flat than I expected. Also, there are hardly any rental cars available. I think many people will visit Hokkaido in the summer.

I went to the hospital because the middle finger on my right hand was hurting. It had been swollen for a week. The doctor said that it was just an inflammation caused by bacteria, so he gave me a prescription. I’ll take the pills and see how it goes for a week. If my finger doesn’t get better or gets worse, I’ll have an operation to fix it.

Today, I made a reservation for a yellow fever vaccination. It’s scheduled for one week from now. My host country isn’t in a yellow fever risk area, but if I travel to certain countries, a yellow fever certificate will be required. That’s why I decided to get vaccinated.
