いやーよく雨がふりますね。It really rains a lot.
It's still drizzling.
最近のカラオケ事情。The latest karaoke news.
Usually, squalls come, followed by a heavy downpour, then sunshine, and then the rain ends, but this year it's been joined by light rain, making it a long rainy season.
The northeasterly monsoon, the Amihan, is not blowing either.
It is being lazy, the southwesterly wind is blowing.
The temperature is also low, at 24.5°C at 6am.
Even during the day, it never exceeds 30°C unless it's sunny.
Due to the heavy rain, the noisy on-board karaoke boats have been closed.
Many people who come to the bathing bring their own sound equipment.
They sing at a lower volume than on the karaoke boats.
What's interesting is that they bring the pots and dishes they use at home to the beach and eat there.
They don't think of making rice into rice balls or repacking side dishes and soup into separate small containers.
On the way back, they carry all the pots and dishes, the sound equipment, and the other items they brought together.

したほうがよい、いや絶対にするべきだ。 You should definitely look into it and fix it. In fact, it would be better to do so.
Thinking this might be due to my medication, I looked up the dosage of the three types I had been prescribed.
The orange APLXABAN tablet, shown in the photo, seems to suppress the formation of blood clots.
It is administered at 2.5 mg twice daily, which is the correct dosage.
なお、年齢、症状により適宜増減するが、重症の場合は1日20mgまで増量できる。
Adults are usually prescribed 10 mg of atorvastatin to be taken orally once daily.
Depending on age and symptoms, the dosage may be increased or decreased; in severe cases, it may be increased to 20 mg per day.
It was prescribed 80 mg once daily to me.
I reduced it to 10 mg per day.
The recommended dosage is 500–2,000 mg per day, divided into one or two doses.
Initially, I took 2,000 mg per day, divided into two doses, but I reduced this to 500 mg per day, also divided into two doses.
Two days after reducing the dosage, the diarrhea stopped, and the back stiffness and the cramps in my fingers and legs resolved.
However, my stomach, which was damaged by the medication, has not improved.

私は今新しい静かなものを使っています。 I'm now using the new, quiet ones.
The sound of the fan oscillating and rotating was barely audible.
I still use ones I bought 15 or 18 years ago, but they're noisy and don't oscillate smoothly.
I bought two floor-standing fans.
Having quiet fans that oscillate smoothly is stress-free.
I gave the old ones to someone who wanted them.
I'm now using the new, quiet ones.

英語力がないのは悲しいですね・・・ Sadly, I'm not good at English...
Yesterday, I was turned down because I had eaten breakfast.
The person in charge told me not to eat anything after 10 pm the day before the blood draw.
I had supper at 6 pm last night.
Today, I was again turned down because too much time had passed since dinner the night before.
I asked them how many hours after eating I could take the test.
A Japanese technician with a strange intonation also came and listened to my question.
I apologised to those waiting, "I am sorry to keep you waiting." They laughed and said it was OK.
Those words and that smile were a lifesaver for me.
Sadly, I'm not good at English...

薬物治療。 medication.
今服用している薬は今まで服用してきたものとは全く別種の薬だ。
悪心はするし胃がやられた。
夜間の睡眠を妨げる副作用もあるようだ。
3っ日前に引いた鼻風邪が長引いているのでよけい堪える。
アレルギー症状の出ない快適な生活を送ってきた身にはとてもつらい。
今まで苦諦の生・老・病・死とは縁のない生活おくってきた。
今は 老・病 の辛さを実感している。
The medication I'm taking now is entirely different from anything I've taken before.
I'm feeling nauseous, and my stomach is upset.
It has a side effect: it keeps me from sleeping at night.
The cold I caught three days ago is lingering, which makes it even more unbearable.
This is very hard for me, as I've always lived a comfortable life without allergy symptoms.
Until now, I've lived a life free from
the noble truth of suffering
old age, sickness, and death.
Now I'm feeling the pain of old age and sickness.

プライオリティ万歳。Long live Priority!
There was a long line at the ATM.
I decided to withdraw my money at the counter inside the bank.
Senior citizens are given Priority and are called before others.
The two people who had registered ahead of me were not there, so I was able to finish quickly.
Long live Priority!
