Park with beautiful autumn leaves and headache of my son / 紅葉が綺麗な公園と長男の頭痛 - My Actifit Report Card: December 10 2024

（日本語は後半にあります）

【English】

The good thing about Actifit is that it motivates me to get outside, even though I am not a fan of exercise!

I usually take photos of the places I walk for my daily life and walking and post them along with the number of steps taken. I like to post as many different photos as possible, so it gives me a chance to take different routes and find new scenery.

So today I decided to visit an Asian food store that has been on my mind for some time. It is a store that was recently established last year or this year, and it sells Southeast Asian foods, spices, snacks, etc.

When I entered the store, I was intrigued by the many products that I did not see elsewhere, but along the way I noticed that many of the items did not have price tags 😂

No price tag is a problem... The owner was not very friendly and difficult to ask. Gradually I became uncomfortable, so I slunk out. So I don't have any pictures of my shopping. (Sometimes it is not possible to take a target photo like this...)

I decided to walk back through the park on my way home. The park is located along a road, with residential areas on both sides of the road. The roads on both sides are rather busy with cars, which makes me a bit uncomfortable, but the park is closed to cars and bicycles, so I can walk there without any worries. The trees with red and yellow leaves are very beautiful, and I was satisfied to be able to take good autumnal photos!

I had reached 5,000 steps and was waiting at a traffic light to go home when I noticed that the phone in my pocket was vibrating. I looked at the number and saw that it was the elementary school my elder son attends.

It was a call from the person in charge of the elementary school nurse's office. My son, who was resting in the nurse's office due to a headache, had started vomiting and asked if I could come pick him up. I said I would be there immediately and went straight to the elementary school. My son had not eaten the school lunch that had been brought to him and was sleeping with a futon over his head. He had no fever, and as I had heard on the phone, he had a headache anyway.

There was nothing to do but to go home and rest, so I took him straight home. He took some pediatric headache medicine at home and went to sleep, which seemed to help a little. In the afternoon, my second son had swimming lessons, and since we have been walking to his swimming lessons since last month, my steps today increased considerably.

When I got home, my elder son was completely fine...I don't know what headache or vomiting it was, but I hope it won't happen again!

Actifitの良いところは、運動が嫌いな私でも外に出ようというモチベーションになるところです！

私は普段、日常生活やウォーキングのために歩いた場所の写真を撮って歩数とともに投稿するのですが、毎回同じ写真では… と意識する部分もあり、いつもとは違ったルートを通り、新しい風景を見つけるきっかけにもなっています。

というわけで、今日は以前から気になっていたアジアンフードの個人商店を訪れてみようと思い立ちました。最近… といっても、去年か今年にできたお店で、東南アジアの食材や香辛料、スナック菓子などを扱っているお店です。

入ってみると他ではあまり見かけない商品が多く、興味深くはあったのですが、途中で多くの商品に値札がついていないことに気づきました😂

値札がないのは困ります… 店主もあまりフレンドリーな雰囲気ではなく、聞きづらい。徐々に居心地が悪くなってきたため、そそくさと出てきてしまいました。そんなわけで、買い物の写真はありません。（こんなふうに、狙った写真を撮れないこともしばしば💦）

帰り道は、公園内を歩いて戻ることにしました。この公園は道路に沿って作られていて、両脇は道路を挟んで住宅街となっています。両脇の道路は割とビュンビュン車が走るので落ち着かなくはあるものの、公園内は車はもちろん自転車の乗り入れも禁止なため安心して歩けます。赤や黄に紅葉した木がとても綺麗で、秋らしい良い写真を撮れて満足！

5,000歩にも到達したことだし、さて帰るか… と信号待ちをしていたところ、ポケットのスマホが振動していることに気がつきました。番号を見ると長男が通う小学校です。

電話は小学校の保健室からでした。長男が頭痛のため保健室で休んでいたが、嘔吐してしまったため迎えにきてくれませんか、とのこと。すぐ行きます、と答えてその足でそのまま小学校へ。長男は運んでもらった給食も食べず、頭から布団を被って寝ていました。熱はなく、電話での話の通りとにかく頭が痛いとのこと。

帰って安静にするしかないね、ということで、そのまま連れ帰りました。家で小児用頭痛薬を飲んで眠ったところ、少し楽になったようです。午後は次男のスイミングもあり、先々月あたりから徒歩で通っているため今日の歩数はかなり伸びました。

帰宅すると、長男はすっかり元気・・・何の頭痛、嘔吐だったのか分かりませんが、もう起こらないことを願います！
