たばこの気持ち

9月5日、文京シビックホールで開催された「全国高齢者集会」を終えてから、有志でちょい飲みしました

お店は「たかの家」水道橋店です。店内は禁煙でしたが、狭いながらも喫煙室があり、ありがたく利用させていただきました

On September 5th, after the "National Senior Citizens Gathering" held at Bunkyo Civic Hall, some volunteers went for a drink.

The restaurant was "Takanoie" Suidobashi branch. Smoking was prohibited inside the restaurant, but there was a small smoking room, which we were grateful to be able to use.

かつてないほど、私は重苦しい日々が2ヶ月ほど続いていました

明日以降もなにかと用事や出かけることは多いのですが、今週まで続いた山場（繁忙期）を皆さんとのチームワークで乗り切ることができ、少なからず安堵しています

本日(2024.9.6)のランチお弁当と、デザートは鹿児島名物「かるかん饅頭」とお煎餅でした

かるかん饅頭は、 OB会の定期総会に出席されたSさんにいただきました

お煎餅は、本日の詩吟教室で生徒さんが差し入れしてくれました

I've been feeling more depressed than ever for the past two months.

I have a lot of things to do and to go out from tomorrow onwards, but I'm relieved that we were able to get through the peak (busy period) that continued until this week with the help of teamwork.

Today's (2024.9.6) lunch box and dessert were Kagoshima specialties "Karukan Manju" and rice crackers.

The Karukan Manju was given to me by Mr. S, who attended the regular general meeting of the alumni association.

The rice crackers were brought in by a student at today's Shigin class.

本日（2024.9.4）、OB会の定期総会を事務局長として、なんとか無事に終えました

この後の懇親会ちょい飲みは、田町専売ビル地下「◯気」さんで、私はキリン一番搾り生ビールと、山形・栃木の日本酒を飲みながら、美味しい料理をいただきました

年に一度の再会なので、一次会で終わるわけはなく、二次会は「魚屋のマグロ食堂」田町店でした

個人的には、本日の阪神タイガースが気になっていましたが、中日ドラゴンズに打ち勝ち、首位との差を縮めました。嬉しいです

振り向けば横浜ベイスターズではありますが、横浜市民としては、ご健闘を祈念するところであります

Today(2024.9.4), I managed to successfully complete the general meeting of the alumni association as the secretary general!

After the meeting, we had a small get-together at "◯Ki" in the basement of the Tamachi Senpaku Building, where I enjoyed Kirin Ichiban Shibori draft beer and delicious food while drinking sake from Yamagata and Tochigi.

Since this is a once-a-year reunion, there was no way the party would end after the first meeting, so the after-party was at "Uoya no Tuna Shokudo" (Fish Restaurant in Tamachi).

Personally, I was concerned about the Hanshin Tigers yesterday, but they beat the Chunichi Dragons to close the gap at the top of the table. I am so happy!

As a citizen of Yokohama, I wish them the best of luck, although I turn around and see the Yokohama Bay Stars!

雑事徹底。本日（2024.9.3）はそんな1日でした

明日の重要な、2年に一度の OB会定期総会を直前にした諸準備、再確認に労力を費やしました

帰宅してからも、3人から電話やメールが届き、やっと落ちつきました

「心配するな、安心するな」の格言を胸に、明日は臨機応変に出たとこ勝負ですね

というわけで、最近の私の愛妻ランチお弁当です

We will do our routine work properly. Today（2024.9.3）was such a day!

I spent a lot of effort preparing and reconfirming things just prior to tomorrow's important, biennial OB Association General Meeting.

After returning home, I received phone calls and e-mails from three people, and finally calmed down.

With the adage, "Don't worry too much and don't let your guard down because you feel relieved," in mind, I will be flexible and play it by ear tomorrow.

So, here is my recent lunch box for my beloved wife!

昨日の朝ごはんは、アパホテルの豚肉生姜焼きとサバの塩焼きお弁当でした

久しぶりの都内で1泊、たくさんの学びがありました

Yesterday's breakfast was an APA Hotel lunch box with ginger-grilled pork and grilled mackerel!

It had been a long time since I stayed overnight in Tokyo, and I learned a lot!

本日、私は OB会のお手伝いをしていました。午後4時半近くまでてんやわんや状態でした

来月初旬の定期総会に向け、長寿および功労者への表彰状作成や必要物品を送付しました

ランチは、いつも愛妻弁当（のり段々）で、午後5時から、慶応仲通り「丸一酒場」のちょい飲み反省会に合流し、冷たいレモンサワーを飲みながら、餃子🥟、肉豆腐、枝豆、フライドポテトなどを美味しくいただきました

「丸一酒場」同様に、慶応仲通りの居酒屋前では、「たばこ吸えますよ！」という声を耳にし、「喫煙OK」看板を目にします

Today, I helped out at the alumni association. It was hectic until almost 4:30 p.m.

In preparation for the regular general meeting early next month, I created certificates of commendation for longevity and distinguished service recipients and sent out necessary items.

For lunch, I always had my beloved wife's lunch (Noridandan), and at 5 p.m., I joined a light drinking reflection meeting at Maruichi Sakaba on Keio Nakadori, where I enjoyed gyoza 🥟, meat tofu, edamame, and french fries while drinking cold lemon sour.

Just like Maruichi Sakaba, in front of the izakayas on Keio Nakadori, you can hear people saying, "You can smoke!" and see "Smoking OK" signs.

本日、私はOB会のお手伝いをして、のり段々のお弁当を食べ、午後4時から会議に出席しました

ちょい飲みは、大金星田町店で、生レモンサワーを飲みながら、卵焼き、定番焼きそば、ヒジキとこんにゃくの煮物、肉団子と野菜の黒酢炒め、大きな餃子などを美味しくいただきました

店内のテーブル席で、飲み食べしながらたばこ🚬を吸えました。私はウィンストン・キャビンとploomXキャメルを吸いました

Today, I helped out with the alumni association, ate a lunch box from Noridan, and attended a meeting from 4pm.

I had a quick drink at Daikinboshi Tamachi, where I drank fresh lemon sour and enjoyed tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), the standard yakisoba (fried noodles), hijiki and konnyaku stew, meatballs and vegetables stir-fried with black vinegar, and large gyoza dumplings.

I was able to smoke a cigarette 🚬 while eating and drinking at a table in the restaurant. I smoked a Winston Cabin and a ploomX Camel.

ちょい飲みの締めは、1人で「なぜ蕎麦。」田町店のつけ蕎麦の大盛り800円

食べ終えて、出口に向かって出ようとしたら、自動ドアじゃなくてガーンって頭をぶつけてしまった

超久しぶりに、額にたんこぶができたかな？と思ったけれども、子供の頃からのいし頭、喧嘩の得意わざは頭突きだったから、しばらくしたら痛みも消えて、なんともないよ

To finish off a quick drink, I went to "Naze Soba." Tamachi branch by myself for a large bowl of tsukesoba for 800 yen.

After I finished eating, I was heading towards the exit when I hit my head on the automatic door.

It's been a long time since I've had a bump on my forehead, I thought. 

But I've had a bad head since I was a child, and my specialty in fights was headbutting, so after a while the pain went away and I was fine.

じじい、走る

午前中、じじいは歯科医院で、入れ歯の型取りをして、愛妻弁当を食べ、12時半からの会議に出ました

午後4時40分に会議が終わり、午後5時からの懇親会に、遅れてはいけないと思い、じじいは走ったのです

Old man, running

In the morning, my grandpa went to the dentist to get his dentures made, ate his wife's lunch, and went to a meeting at 12:30.

The meeting ended at 4:40, and I (the old man) ran to make sure I didn't get late for the social gathering at 5:00.

現在、突貫工事で9月4日OB会定期総会用の議案書（案）を作成しています

ソースネクストの「いきなりPDF」をパソコンにインストールしていたのですが、使い方がよく分かりませんでした

今回、やむに止まれず使ってみたら、Adobe無料版では不可能だった各種編集ができることを知りました

作業がとても進みました

I am currently working on creating a draft agenda for the alumni association's regular general meeting on September 4th.

I had installed SourceNext's "Ikinari PDF" on my computer, but I didn't really know how to use it.

I had no choice but to try it out, and discovered that I could do various edits that were not possible with the free version of Adobe.

I was able to make great progress on my work.
