House of Representatives general election

“Impression of a riverside town” Watercolor + acrylic + oil pastel

"Polling place admission tickets" for "General election of members of the House of Representatives and national examination of judges of the Supreme Court" have arrived.。There's also an election survey on my answering machine.、Recorded messages from the election office are now included.。
Although the recent media has been calling it a "House of Representatives election"、Previously, the media also properly referred to it as the "House of Representatives election."。Probably because there are a lot of characters.、I think it is important to indicate exactly what you are choosing.。Because we don't choose the House of Representatives.。As expected from the Election Commission, as above.、It is clearly written。
By the voting day on February 8th、It has been reported that some areas are experiencing heavy snowfall, making it difficult to open polling stations in time.。

tv set、In the media, election coverage seems to be increasing day by day.、It's also exam season、Are public announcements made on city loudspeakers to a lesser extent?、elections are far away。

What's always more frustrating is、The year name (era name) notation on documents submitted to government offices, etc.。“Showa XX year?、How many years ago? "I graduated from △ high school in XX Heisei."、How many years ago? ” while looking at the appendix on the Oshimai page of the notebook.、I have to look it up on my smartphone。This time loss can never be taken lightly.。The historical significance should be respected as such.、Practical use should be unified to the Western calendar.。
There is a meaning for the government office.、Even if it is okay for the government to continue using this、I wish they would stop forcing this on ordinary people.。If there was a political party that would take this up, I would consider voting for it.。

signs of spring

“Still life with pot” Watercolor + acrylic、paper
hotokenoza

the last few weeks、Somehow in the morning、I got into the habit of riding my bike for about 10km.。I used to listen to the radio for about an hour after I woke up.、It was normal to be lazy、It's strange to me that I can now get out of bed immediately even when it's cold.。

Next to the farm road that is my usual walking course、I noticed that a lot of hotokenoza were blooming.。Hotokenoza is one of the seven spring species.、It wouldn't be strange if it had already bloomed.、Didn't catch my eye。Come to think of it, Setsubun will be in a few days.。The day that separates winter and spring。The next day is the "first day of spring"。Spring is coming。Even though it's called a walk、I end up taking a bicycle walk, so I pass by quickly.。Next time, the giant dogfish will greet you with its beautiful blue-purple color.。

I painted this picture in watercolor several years ago and neglected it.。Things around the pot、I don't remember what it was anymore。But、Because it has an interesting shape、I decided to leave it as a mystery.。While preserving the watercolor color as much as possible、I layered acrylic paint。

退院

Still life with whiskey bottle Pen + watercolor

yesterday、A little pushy? I was discharged from the hospital in。I had started preparing for discharge from the hospital a few days ago.、On that day, the doctor told me that I was scheduled to be discharged tomorrow.、I was a little confused。Without thinking, I just said, ``If possible, I'd like to be discharged from the hospital today.''。

Is the surgery going well? Niiki、The recovery after that was also very smooth.。It was local anesthesia、I listened as much as possible to the conversation of the staff during the surgery.。Too bad I couldn't see it with my own eyes、I understand that everyone is working hard.、How did you deal with problems along the way?、The doctor carefully and carefully stitches the stitches together.、Through the tingling pain, I understood。

on the operating table、When the plastic platform over the face is removed、I couldn't help but say, "Thank you for your hard work."。put away the equipment、While wiping off the disinfectant、When I said I wanted to see it myself、One nurse said, ``I wouldn't want to see it.''、Is this even true for people who are supposed to be used to seeing surgeries?、It felt kind of strange。I got off the operating table by myself.、Walk straight to the room where you will hear the explanation.。

After surgery, only prevent infection from the wound.。When infected、I'm careful because the mortality rate is 50% depending on the body part.、Other than that, just eat and sleep。drinking coffee and、I got permission to eat chocolate for a snack.、I try to do what I had planned before admission in a chair outside the hospital room (I tend to fall asleep if I sit next to the bed).、As a result, your back gets worse)。
On the day of discharge and the day before。For some reason, I felt tired from the moment I woke up.。I thought it was because of lack of sleep.、``If possible, I'd like to be discharged from the hospital today'' because I thought ``I'd be able to rest more if I went home.''。-I had a good night's sleep.。this morning、I measured my weight、I had lost 2 kg since the morning of my admission.。
