I was able to keep no smoking for four years and eighty-two days in a row.
Actually, I felt a little cold this morning though the temperatures were
not so low....I'm afraid I have caught a cold.
Weather forecasts say it'll be rainy tomorrow in Nagoya, so it would be
better to buy a pair of rain shoes by today.
But if I cannot have enough time to go shopping due to my work, what should
I do?.....I might have to use some packing tape.

It has been four years and eighty-one days in a row since I stopped smoking.
It was very very windy in the morning in Nagoya, so it was also very easy
for me to come to my workplace due to a strong tail wind.
I'm afraid it will be very hard to go back home....I hope the wind will be mild.
Anyway, today must be the last day with winter-like cold....I really hope so.
Weahter reports say the highest temperatures for the next one week will be
above 10 degrees and the best season for Japanese plum blossoms is steadily
drawing nearer and nearer.

Four years and eighty days in a row have passed since I gave up smoking.
It's been raining since early this morning.
I've noticed that the soles of my rain shoes have been worn out and my heels
have got wet on my way from the bus stop to my workplace.
I have to buy one very very soon.
Anyway, it may be lucky for me that the rain is not so cold unlike that of mid-winter.

I was able to keep no-smoking for four years and seventy-nine days in a row.
It's sunny and I feel a little warm with winter clothing while riding my bike
on my way to the workplace.
Weather officials say it'll be rainy in Nagoya and will get cold especially
on Friday, but they also say it's temporary...."Temporary" really sounds great.
Actually I just now sneezed three times.
Unknowingly, I might have mentally dropped my guard against the cold.

It has been four years and seventy-eight days in a row since I quit smoking.
I'm afraid I've often had a blocked nose recently....
I'm wondering if it's a kind of a sign of disorder....or nothing but one of
the symptoms of pollen allergy?
I hope it's nothing to get alarmed about, but it might be good to be careful.

Four years and seventy-seven days in a row have passed since I kicked smoking.
It's now sunny in Nagoya though it was so cloudy in the morning.
Very happily, just like weather forecasts, I feel it's rather warm.
Japanese plum buds around here are steadily turning reddish and swollen.
Spring is sure to come pretty soon.
I have to get mentally prepared for the next cold air on Thursday, which I hope
will be the last chill in this year's winter season.
