My Actifit Report Card: September 17 2024 - Sprained Ankle

[日本語は後半にあります]

As we enter September, it's getting much cooler in Vancouver. During the day, if the weather is nice, it can reach around 20°C, but in the mornings and evenings, the temperature could go down to 10°C.

It's getting quite dark when I’m walking home (around 8 p.m.).

Since it's getting cooler, I thought I'd start going on walks again. I've been skipping my daily walks during the summer except for commuting to work. However, ever since I started working at a café, I’ve been extra tired. Customer service really is exhausting.

The photo is from the bridge on my way home from work.

In the mornings, I walk 35 minutes across this bridge and take the bus to work. On the way back, I get off the bus and walk 35 minutes to home. Even if I take the bus for that distance, with the waiting time, it still takes about 15 to 20 minutes, so I found walking is less stressful.

Walking can lead to some nice discoveries as well. Like this beautiful collaboration of streetlights and trees!

When I walked by the same spot the next day, though, the heart shape was gone.

And then there's this... Everyone, be careful when walking on dark streets. I was crossing the street Just three minutes away from home. I knew I had to step down, but I didn’t see the street was leveled! I heard a snap and fell on my bottom. I thought that if I sat down for too long, I wouldn’t be able to move, so I quickly got up and started walking, but it hurt so much! Still, as I kept walking, the pain eased, so I thought, “I’m so tough!” as I made it home. But as soon as I took off my shoes, the pain got really bad. Even my eldest daughter, who rarely helps, was surprised and yelled, “Sit down! Put your feet up!” and she prepared me this: a cat scratching cube and a Haikyuu!! cushion to put my feet up. No matter what happens, it seems I’m always supported by cats and anime. Oh, and my family too hehe.

While Tsukki was staring at me, I ate the curry my youngest daughter made for dinner, though she added a bit too much water, it was still delicious.

My ankle is swollen now, but it feels ok to walk as long as I keep the ankle straight. I don’t think it’s serious. I’ll take it easy for a while.

９月に入り、だいぶ涼しくなってきたバンクーバーです。

昼間、お天気が良ければ20度くらいになりますが、朝晩の気温が10度という日もぼちぼち。

帰宅途中（午後8時くらい）はかなり暗くなっています。

涼しくなってきたので、夏の間、通勤で歩く以外はサボっていたお散歩を再開しようと思っていましたが、カフェで働き始めてから妙に疲れます。やっぱり接客は疲れますね。

写真は仕事帰りの橋の上から。

朝、この橋を歩いて渡って35分先のバス停からバスに乗り仕事に向かいます。帰りもバスから降りて35分先の家に歩いて帰ります。この距離をバスに乗っても待ち時間が結構あったり15分から20分かかるので、歩く方がストレスになりません。

歩いていると素敵な発見もあります。

次の日も同じ道を通りましたが、ハートはありませんでした。

そしてこれね…

皆さん、暗い道を歩く時は気をつけましょう。

家まで3分のところで道路を渡ろうとして、段差があるのは分かったのですが、平じゃなかった！

コキっと聞こえて尻餅をついてしまいました。座り込んだら動けなくなると思ったので、すぐに立って歩きましたが、痛いのなんの！それでも歩いていると痛みが和らいだので、自分最強！とか思いながら家に到着。でも靴を脱ぐとすごく痛くなって、普段は動かない長女ちゃんが驚いて「座って！足あげて！」と用意してくれたのがこちらです。猫の爪とぎキューブとハイキューのクッション。

私はどう転んでも猫とアニメに支えられてるみたいです。あ、あと家族、笑

ツッキーの視線を感じながら次女ちゃんの作ってくれた少々水の量が多過ぎたカレーを食べました。

足首の周りが腫れていますが、歩けるので大したことはないと思います。ただ、足首を曲げると飛び上がるほど痛いです。しばらく安静にします。

That’s all for today.

Thanks for visiting!

いつもありがとうございます！
