Break From Usual And Lovers Walk Rally

After work, my usual routine is to rest, turn on Netflix and do house chores. But yesterday, I finally took that leap - I have finally changed my routine. I went outside and collected step counts.

Last month, I went to the hospital and the new doctor in charge of me advised me to lose weight. It's really not easy losing weight in my age and in my lifestyle. I have to make necessary arrangements to incorporate exercise into my routine. I also have to change my diet. I've been getting advices left and right but it's easier said than done. I want to lose weight too. I want to be healthy too. I want to be disciplined too.

Anyhow, since I wasn't as stressed as the recent workdays, I went out. The air is colder now that it's Autumn. The leaves haven't turned into Autumn colors yet but I can already feel the cold breeze. It was a good night to walk.

I usually buy home necessities in the nearest drugstore, but to rack up some steps, I went to the home center that's a bit further. There were uphills and downhills going there so it's also a good point for my elevation gain. I needed to walk fast as if I am running out of breath, as advised by my doctor, and last night was a good one.

On the way to the home center, I was also on the look out for the collectibles I need to find in the bulletin board. There's this event in my city to collect 5 Japanese characters and form them into a word. It's called Lovers Walk although I don't know why it's called that. I was walking alone and not with my lover. Nyahaha

Going home I also took the longer route and discovered more characters I needed to form the word. I found the event form and that to submit, either you have to send your answer via post including your details or submit it via web. Since I was holding the form with the postcard in it, I hurriedly went home to fill in the details.

My partner called me to meet at the burger joint on the next train station so after filling the details in the postcard and dropping the things I bought, I walked to meet him. The postcard was in my pocket and I was so excited to show it to him.

We met, got our dinner, walked home and he got distracted by the fried chicken store that he told me to go home ahead as he would buy from the store. In that moment of walking home alone, I noticed the postcard in my pocket was gone. I got reprimanded by my partner for losing it since it contained personal information and it may be used by bad entities. I also know how crucial personal information is so before midnight, we went back, retracing our steps til the burger joint but couldn't find the postcard anymore. It was a windy night, it must have been carried by the wind to who knows where. Or someone could have taken it. I just hope someone who took it will put it in the post. 🙏

If you're wondering why I didn't drop it in the post yet, I forgot to answer the questionnaire at the back so I was looking for a pen so I could write my answers and drop it to the post. Since I didn't wanna buy a pen or too shy to borrow from stores, I was holding the postcard and thinking of using the pen at home. But it's now all gone.

I just hope the personal information will be safe. 🙏
And I hope we win the event! The prize is a special roast beef. 🍖

Thanks for reading!
See you around! じゃあ、またね！
