ブレーン フォグ。 Brain fog.
The other day, my vision suddenly brightened, or rather, my head became clear.
It felt like the thin film that had been covering my head had disappeared.
As a long-term drinker, it seems that alcohol had become accustomed to my brain and was causing inflammation without me realizing it.
Because this had become the norm, I didn't feel like my head was misty.
Apparently, the thickness of the cerebral cortex can return to normal after about eight months of abstinence.
I've been sober for six months now, so I'm two months short of eight.
Perhaps my brain has given up on the alcohol that wasn't coming back.
I've decided to think that my brain's repair process has conveniently begun.
Unlike before, I now want to go to the bathroom as soon as I wake up in the morning.
When I go, my stomach feels refreshed.
I then take a shower and groom myself.
I'm observing myself from a third-person perspective, realizing that so many things are happening.
The dry season has begun.
We've been having lovely, sunny days.
The temperature is rising.
I occasionally get the urge to drink.
I crave a cold beer, whiskey soda, or gin and tonic.
This is dangerous...

余裕のある朝は素晴らしい。 A leisurely morning is wonderful.
あさ目を覚ますと薄暗い中で白いカーテンが薄青く見えます。
シャワーを浴びて身体を洗い歯を磨き髭を剃ります。
薄青かったカーテンが自然な白い色に戻っています。
ドアを開けてカーテンを開いて部屋の空気を入れ替えます。
早朝の風は帆を張った漁船が沖に出やすいように陸から海に向かって吹きます。
洗濯機をまわします。
果物とヨーグルトを食べます。
コーヒー豆を挽いてコーヒーを淹れて机に座ります。
庭の木々の緑はしっとりと露にぬれています。
背の高い椰子の葉は風にそよいで揺れています。
コーヒーを飲みながらゆったりと背中を椅子の背もたれに預けます。
働いていた時には出来なかったことです。
酒を飲んでいた時には出来なかったことです。
コーヒーカップを洗いながら朝食のメニューを考えます。
When I wake up in the dim light, the white curtains appear faintly blue.
I take a shower, wash myself, brush my teeth, and shave.
The faintly blue curtains have returned to their natural white color.
I open the door and unroll the curtains to let in fresh air.
The early morning breeze blows from land towards the sea, making it easier for fishing boats with their sails out to sea.
I do the laundry.
I eat fruit and yogurt.
I grind the coffee beans, brew coffee, and sit at my desk.
The green of the trees in the garden is glistening with dew.
The tall palm leaves sway in the wind.
I sip my coffee and lean back comfortably in the chair.
This is something I couldn't do when I was working.
This is something I couldn't do when I was drinking.
I wash the coffee cup while thinking about what to have for breakfast.

きょうもよく晴れています。 It's a nice sunny day again.
The temperature at noon is 31°C.
The song is Princess Poo-pooly from Hawaiian Serenades.
お知らせ。 Announcement.

丈夫な山刀を買いました。 I bought a sturdy machete.
(Minimum temperature 24°C, maximum temperature 31°C)
If I don't process fish and squid quickly after cleaning them, they will start to rot and develop an odor.
Garbage collection is twice a week.
Sometimes it's only once a week.
Sometimes they don't even take the food waste.
Until now, I've been tipping the waste disposal person, but it hasn't improved, so I'm now burning the garbage.
I was having trouble with non-burnable fruit and vegetable peels and coffee grounds from the food waste.
I tried putting firewood on top of the food waste to burn it.
The firewood was too thick, so it didn't light properly.
I bought a sturdy machete.
With this, I can split the firewood into thinner pieces and make the fire burn more strongly.
It also eliminates the leftover food waste.
