[Independence Day]
Woke up at 8:00am, went to swim in the morning but since the pool was busy
for the holiday, I had to wait for the vacate lane. Spent afternoon at
office, coming back to my apartment around 7:00PM, then headed outside for a
short run. The weather today was raining in the morning but sunny in the
afternoon. Saw a guy driving a car at high speed and being chased by a
police car near by my apartment, and soon it was crowded with the
cruisers... Going to bed around 11:00PM. |

midnight due to reading books until late... |

Woke up at 7:00am, went to swim in the morning.
I was able to get my lane this time so I swam for about 40 minutes, and
additional 10 minutes at sauna before heading back home. Took afternoon
really easy. I did very much nothing. Went out outside again in the evening
before dinner for running, took shower. Today is sunny and hot, but breezy.
Although the wind did not help since the temperature was up around 80s even
at 10:00PM. It seems to me that there was a power outage while I was out, I
had to reset clocks on few items. |
| 7/8 |
Woke up at 7:30am, went out for 2 hours for a
walk. It was breezy but sunny and hot. Drove up to a car wash, then to the

going on and everything was fine, at least until tomorrow morning... Stayed
there until 6:00PM and headed back to my apartment. Still, hot and topping
around 95F, I kept all the windows open. Going to bed around 11:00PM. |

cooling off my room again since the daily high went up to 95F. Going to bed

[Indianapolis Motor Speedway won't renew
contract with FIA, no more formula ones]
Woke up at 6:00am, went out for a walk before
heading to work. Stayed until 6:00PM then headed to gym after dropping off
my stuffs at my apartment. I had really good workouts and come home,
relaxed. It's been not too hard but still a busy week. I was expecting some
rain but none. Oh well. |
| 7/13 |
Woke up at 6:00am, I guess the workout yesterday
must have really good on me. I was so energetic from the morning and able to
arrive at office on time. Worked whole day but able to catch breath by going
to a Japanese restaurant with coworkers. Stopping by gym before heading home
to pay test fee for the coming weekend, then went to Meijer for groceries.
Going to bed around midnight. |

which was a bit busier than my regular hours but I did fine. Drove up to a
book store, Japanese grocery store before heading back to my apartment. I
had to be at office for the afternoon to run some experiment, but able to
finish up by 7:00PM, drove back home, and went out for a walk. My knees did
not feel well so I guess I should not run. I saw a train crossing a road
nearby. I wonder what it was. Coming home, relaxed in the evening. Going to
bed after midnight. |
| 7/15 |
Woke up at 7:30am, I had a good rest. Went for a
morning walk but since I could not run yesterday, I decided to run for a
while. The whole exercise became shorter because of that. Cooked noodle for
lunch, then headed out to office to take care of the stuffs I could not
finish yesterday. Wrap up everything around 6:00PM and drove up to Meijer
for fuel, and groceries. I used $1.00 coupon for the gas but ended up
getting a $3.00 off coupon by the time I am done shopping... The gas price
is around $3.30/gal so it is good to me anyway. Cooked fried rice for the
week, relaxed in the evening since Japan office is on holiday. Going to bed
by midnight. Sunny whole day and warmer than yesterday! |
