Today was my first day of hospital visits this year. I went to an internist and a psychiatrist.
In the morning, I was feeling a bit tired and didn't want to go to the hospital, but I forced myself to get on the bus. 30 minutes later, the bus arrived at the bus stop closest to the clinic.
First of all, I didn't have any money, so I went to a nearby bank and withdrew some money, and then went to a doctor's office. As usual, I had urine and blood samples taken, and my blood pressure and weight were also measured. After a while, I was called into the examination room.
HbA1c 7.4
The doctor told me that this number had not changed from last year and that it was not good. He told me to exercise and lose more weight. I thought I really need to work harder. Come to think of it, the only time I can say that I walked during this year-end and New Year's holidays was when I walked along the shopping street at the end of the year and when I paid a visit to a shrine on New Year's Day. I should go to a shrine every day. I can walk a lot, and it might bring me some good luck. (Just kidding.)
I also went to a psychiatrist and told him that I have a hard time moving most days. I also told him that I was going to ZINE Festa Kobe to sell my zines. The teacher was surprised that such a thing existed. Yes, there are all kinds of festivals.
After the doctor's visit, I stopped by the pharmacy to get some medicine and left.
I was too tired to take pictures this morning, so the pictures I took were all on the way home from the clinic.
First, here are some pictures of leaf peonies. It is a lovely leaf peony with several small plants gathered together. The leaf peony is considered to be a plant of good omen because of its multiple layers of leaves, which means “good luck will come to you”.
Then there are pictures of camellias. It is a precious flower that blooms in winter when flowers are scarce.
And this is a storefront of an antique store near my house. A headless mannequin is dressed in a kimono. I have not had a chance to take a closer look at this store, but it looks interesting.

今日は今年最初の通院日でした。内科と精神科へ行ってきました。
朝はとにかくだるいというか、病院に行きたくなくてたまらなかったのですが、無理やり気合をいれてバスに乗り込みました。30分ぐらいでバスはクリニックの最寄りのバス停に着きました。
まずお金がなかったので近くの銀行に行ってお金を引き出し、内科へ行きました。いつもの通り採尿、採血をして、血圧、体重も測りました。そしてしばらくして診察室に呼ばれました。
HbA1c 7.4
先生には、この数値は昨年と変わっていない、よくないなあと言われました。運動と減量をもっと頑張りなさいと言われました。ちょっと本当に頑張らなければいけないなと思いました。そういえば、この年末年始で歩いたと言えるのは年末に商店街を歩いたのと、初詣だけです。いっそのこと毎日神社へ参拝しましょうか。よく歩けるし、ご利益あるかもしれないし。（冗談です）
そして精神科にも行って、動くのがつらい日が多いことをまず伝えました。それから私が作っているZINEを売るためにZINEフェスタ神戸に行くことも伝えました。先生はそんなものがあるのかと驚いていました。はい、いろんなお祭りがあるのですよ。
診察が終わって、薬局に寄って薬をもらって帰りました。
今日は朝はしんどくて写真を撮る気にもならなかったので、撮った写真はみなクリニックからの帰りのものです。
まずは葉牡丹の写真です。小さな株がいくつも集まって可愛らしい葉牡丹です。葉牡丹は葉が幾重にも重なる姿から「吉事が重なる」ということで縁起が良い植物とされています。
それから椿の写真です。花の少ない冬に咲く貴重な花です。
そしてこれは自宅近くの古道具店の店頭です。頭のないマネキンに着物を着せてあります。ここはじっくりと店内をみたことがないのですが、面白そうな店です。
