How do you like these cherry blossoms almost in full bloom? I think they are both someiyoshino, a variety of cherry tree in Kyoto City. Someiyoshino cherry trees bloomed four days ago, on March 29. It usually takes about a week for them to fully bloom, but they were almost in full bloom in just four days. Today is Tuesday; I was thinking of viewing the blossoms on Friday, three days later, but it is supposed to rain in the meantime, so it will probably fall by Friday....
That being said, I had an internal medicine and a psychiatrist's appointment today.
As usual, I went from internal medicine. First, blood and urine samples were taken.
HbA1c 6.5
The doctor told me that my HbA1c has been at this level for the past several months and that it has been stable. Then, my weight decreased by 1.3 kg. I have lost 1.3 kg, probably because the clothes I wear have become lighter.
Well, recently I have stopped eating sweets. Maybe it is good that I eat a little fruit every day.
Then I went to a psychiatrist.
At first, I told the doctor that it was hard for me because I hated cleaning, and that I didn't feel like doing anything else because I was in a bad mood when I cleaned. The doctor didn't seem to understand how I felt. He said, "If it were me, I would clean the room completely and then do whatever I wanted to do. But it takes me a long time to clean up completely.
After the examination, we did casework. I bought curtains, so the caseworker told me that I could put them up with the visiting nurse the next time she comes. She also told me that a vacuum cleaner is heavy, so I should use a quick wiper or something like that, and that they sell them at 100-yen stores. I would certainly like to do the unpleasant cleaning in the easiest way possible.
It was a beautiful sunny spring day.

どうですこのほぼ満開の桜。京都市内にある、どちらもソメイヨシノという品種の桜だと思います。ソメイヨシノが開花したのは4日前、3/29です。普通は1週間くらいはかかるのに、たった4日でほぼ満開になってしまいました。今日は火曜日。3日後の金曜日に花見しようかと思っていましたが、その間に雨が降るそうなので金曜日には散りそうですね…。
それはそうと、今日は内科と精神科の診察でした。
例によって内科から行きました。まずは採血、採尿です。
HbA1c 6.5
ここ数カ月HbA1cはこの値で、先生からは安定していますね、と言われました。それから体重が1.3kg減りました。多分着ている服が軽くなったからでしょうけど。
まあ最近はめっきりお菓子を食べなくなりました。毎日果物を少し食べるくらいなのがいいのかもしれません。
そして精神科へ行きました。
まず診察で、掃除が嫌いだから辛い、掃除すると機嫌が悪いからあと何もする気がしない、と言いました。先生はその気持ちはわからないようでした。「僕だったら、すっかり綺麗に掃除してしまってから好きなことしようと思うけどなあ」と言われました。でもすっかり綺麗にしようとすると時間がかかるのですよ私は。
診察のあとはケースワークでした。カーテンを買ったので、今度訪問看護師さんが来たときに一緒につければいいじゃないとケースワーカーさんに言われました。あと掃除も、掃除機なんか重いから、クイックルワイパーみたいなのでいいと思うよ、と言われました。100均にも売っているからと言われました。確かに、嫌な掃除はせめてできるだけ楽な方法でやりたいと思います。
よく晴れた春の一日でした。
