Three years and 316 days in a row have passed since I gave up smoking.
I was able to keep 25-time push-ups for the sixth successive day and over
19-time push-ups for the 22nd straight day.
It's sunny in Nagoya and not so hot ...I mean it's actually comfortable
due maily to low humidity.
Now I'm using an electric fan but sometimes I feel like stopping it, which
means apparently this year's summer heat is about to disappear.
Autumnal weather might have begun....anyway, it's very nice that certified
weather forecaster Mamiko Okamura has come back on a certain NHK TV program.
.....Am I the only one who feels she has become more beautiful？＾＾；；；

I was able to keep no-smoking for three years and 315 days in a row.

the most recent five days of 25-time push-ups.
Actually, it's greatly sunny today in Nagoya for the first time in a very
long time, I feel.
The highest temperature may reach 30 degrees and it's a little hot, but
it's autumn-like because of low humidity.
Well, I have to get prepared for enjoying autumnal weather.

It's cloudy and sometimes sunny with the predicted temperature of 29 degrees,
which is actually unlike August.
I've come to a sudden realization that buzzing of cicadas has completely gone.
Autumn is sure to be on us.

Three years and 313 days in a row have passed since I stopped smoking.
I was able to keep over 20-time push-ups for the nineteenth consecutive day
including the last three days of 25-time push-ups.
Yesterday, to my little surprise, the number of passage increased.
Especially last night during sleep hours, I went to the toilet four times.
Maybe, this is one of the signs of the changing seasons.
Well, I have no clear reason, but I'm sure this is not micturition.
Never ever................I wish.
