I have been able to be a non-smoker for thirteen years
and two hundred and ninety-nine days in a row.
I was able to keep above 9-time push-ups for the one
year and thirty-seventh successive day including the
latest five days of 28-time push-ups.

Today again, it is so beautifully sunny in Nagoya and
there are few clouds in the blue sky with plenty of
sunlight, which I feel is a little scorching.
The current temperature at 12:30 was already 30.5 degrees.
While I was walking from a Mac restaurant in the morning,
I felt that the sunlight was much brighter than yesterday.
Very fortunately, the canker pain is getting milder and
milder little by little due mainly to the spray for mouth
ulcers, which is produced by Asada-Ame Co.,Ltd.
However, I feel very irritated by length of the healing
time.

It has been thirteen years and two hundred and ninty-
eight days in a row since I got rid of a bad habit of
smoking.
I was able to keep 28-time push-ups for the third
straight day and greater than 9-time push-ups for the
one year and thirty-sixth consecutive day.

It has been beautifully sunny in Nagoya today.
It is not deadly scorching, but actually it is still
very hot with the current temperature at 12:20 of
31.4 degrees, up more than 2 degrees from the same
time yesterday.
The canker pain is still here and it hurts like a cut.
Today is already the ninth day since I got the canker
sore and I am really afraid that the mouth ulcer is
healing too slowly.

Thirteen years and two hundred and ninety-six days
in a row have passed since I broke my smoking habit.
I was able to keep at least 10-time push-ups for the
one year and thirty-fourth successive day including
the most recent two days of 28-time push-ups.

Although the road was wet with rain when I got out
of bed this morning, it had stopped raining by then.
It has been quite overcast in Nagoya and it looks
like, today again, it is going to start raining
pretty soon maybe due mainly to the typhoon #17.
The canker pain is really persistent and actually
it hurts still even now.
Anyway, I know well that time is the only medicine
for this pain.....There is no option, I'm afraid.

I have succeeded in preventing myself from smoking
for thirteen years and two hundred and ninety-five
days in a row.
I was able to increase the number of push-ups by
one time to 28 times yesterday and kept over 9-time
push-ups for the one year and thirty-third consecutive
day.

It has been quite cloudy since early this morning
in Nagoya, and with gray clouds blocking sunlight,
it is rather dark, which means that it looks like
it is going to start raining pretty soon.
Very unfortunately, the canker pain that I got on
Monday evening is still here and actually hurts.
I tried sprayed the canker with Nodo Nuru Spray.
I feel that it has worked a little.
I really want it to disappear as soon as possible.
