Maitta! Always - Daily Amazing Confusions -

Rail: I was curious when I was reading a book by Dale Carnegie. First I imagined rails trains run on. I looked up the word "rail". Surprisingly its first definition was not something trains run on. It was rather a pipe to support something. Now I've just noticed that the rails of the railway also support trains. The word rail as a verb seemed to be to complain bitterly about something. The section I found the word was about stopping being bitter, because bitterness kills yourself. I have been inactive in expressing what I feel or what I have experienced, but at least there is a good point. I have been much less bitter than years ago when I was in my early 30s. Instead, I have been changed to show thanks for small things.

Decaf soluble coffee I got the other day tastes better than I had expected. It also add to the variation of my coffee time. Although it is decaf, I can enjoy energizing aroma none the less, and I can even enjoy it even just before I go to bed. One point I feel sorry about it is that it's difficult to catch a timing to get it at a reasonable price. I added it to the watch list of a web store to buy later, but when I wanted to get one, it had already been sold out and I only saw more expensive option. Also at a stare in the station building, where I had got one, when I sought another, it had also been sold out. I have enjoyed the decaf so much that I'm thinking where and when to buy another bottle.

Is it because the busiest season has ended? Is it because ski season is ending? I suddenly feel heavy, although I was in a good shape until last week from the beginning of February. It looks like that having a lot of sleep is the most powerful solution, not trying to strongly fight against this heaviness.

2-day skiing trip was over. It was fine on Saturday and Sunday, so we really enjoyed skiing. We had some lessons and had our skiing video taken. Some of lessons focused on using our hips. I had focused on foot so much that it was hard for me to understand the concept of controlling turns by hips. I especially struggled on making long turns. We also skied bumps, and had the video taken. I thought I did well, but when I looked at my skiing, it wasn't cool at all although I made quick enough movements. It may take more practice to get familiar with concepts on skiing I learned through the skiing trip, so this coming Saturday I'm planning to go skiing. Fortunately, the mountain I go skiing frequently will be open until April 10, so I'd like to enjoy skiing until the end of this season.

In this weekend I join in 2-day skiing trip. I have prepared 3 posts to keep my routine to post on this blog daily. Also I have prepared for work on the next Monday to some extent. Right after I'm home after the trip, I would like to have a rest instead of being meddled with the tasks I do in the afternoon and at night regularly. From now on, I would like to enjoy the skiing trip, since I have prepared for the weekdays after the trip to some extent. (This post is what I prepared on Friday night, the day before starting for the trip.)

These days I'm into soluble coffees, especially organic. I drink both ordinary soluble coffee and decaf soluble coffee. Organic coffee, with caffeine or decaf, taste gently sweet even when I drink black coffee. Once I get used to decaf organic coffee, I feel even decaf may awaken me just as coffee with caffeine does. Black coffee is fine, and white coffee is also fine. Especially cafe au lait with decaf coffee I'm into these days (Mt. Hagen Decaffeinated) tastes so good. Cafe au lait (decaf) or decaf au lait?

With a national holiday on Monday and a half paid holiday on Thursday, this week I had 3.5 work days. In spite of this, I had a lot of task to do. I fixed a few web troubles and held a meeting to set goals for the next month. Taking action in advance helped much, but still I have been much tired, so I need to bottom up my mental stamina for work.
