ゆっくり過ごすことの贅沢

朝起きて9時半。カーテンの外は明るく清々しい気分だった。徐々に落ち着く季節に身を移していく感覚がした。今年の夏はとてつもなく暑かったので、秋が近づいてくる感覚が既に嬉しい。ここ2週間は仕事が忙しく、お盆休みがあったにもかかわらず月の残業時間は最高記録を更新してしまっていた。毎週土曜の午前中は水回りの掃除が習慣だが、今日ばかりは掃除をサボり、何としてでもゆっくりしようと心に決めた。かといって、じっとしていられるわけでもなく、せっかく時間を過ごすなら家計の精算をかねて自分の金融資産の現状を把握するくらいはしておこうと思い、macbookを取り出して仕事さながらの作業を行うことに。作業は捗り、最近の収入・支出状況をExcelファイルに整理することができた。これまで家計アレルギーだった自分にとって、大きな一歩だと自負している。これからの自分の人生にちゃんと責任を持って生きていこうと思う。お金のことだけでなく、自分のことは自分で管理できるようにしていきたい。家計の整理で変にいつも使っていない脳の領域を使ったせいか、妙に疲れてしまった。夕方にベッドで昼寝。ソファでなく、ベッド。とても贅沢な時間だった。

When it's 9:30, I got up in my bed. It was already lightened up outside and I felt cool that time. I felt like we're shifted to the autumn season little by little. Since It was so hot last summer, I'm really glad to feel the autumn atmosphere. The overtime hours went over than ever even though I had summer vacation (Obon-yasumi) in the middle of this month, so I've been gradually worn out over last 2 weeks. So, I made a perfect decision to chill out in my room instead of cleaning my kitchen and bathroom that I make a rule to do every Saturday morning. However, (this is based on my character) I couldn't help spending my valuable time with doing something helpful, I stood up and started to check my household account of these days just because I wanted to know how much money I spent in each items. Against my  expectation, I succeeded to have done with my work to calculate the numbers and organize my expenditures and incomes in an Excel file. Because I've been not good at checking the household account (more of a person who have an allergy to it),  today's work was kind of a big step toward a decent adult man. I want to live on my own and be responsible for my own life. I want to manage not only my household account but also myself. I got worn out a little bit more by calculating my money; my brain didn't get used to work for such a calculation. Finally I fall asleep in my bed even though the sun didn't fall yet. Not on a couch, but in my bed. It was a gorgeous time.

9時半になると、僕はベッドの中で起き上がった。外はもうすっかり明るくなっていて、涼しさを感じる時間でした。少しずつ秋に近づいているような気がします。去年の夏は暑かったので、秋の気配を感じられるのはとても嬉しい。今月中旬に夏休み（お盆休み）があったにもかかわらず、残業が増え、この2週間で徐々に疲れが出てきました。そこで、毎週土曜日の朝は台所と風呂場の掃除をすることにしているのですが、その代わりに部屋でゴロゴロすることにしました。しかし（これは私の性格上）、せっかくの貴重な時間を何か役に立つことに使わずにはいられない私は、立ち上がり、各項目にいくら使ったのか知りたくて、ここ数日の家計簿をチェックし始めたのです。予想に反して、収支を計算し、エクセルファイルで整理することに成功した。家計簿をつけるのが苦手（というよりアレルギー）な僕にとって、今日の作業はまともな大人の男への大きな一歩になったような気がする。ただ、一人で生活して、自分の人生に責任を持ちたい。家計簿だけでなく、自分自身の管理もしたいだけなのだ。お金の計算をすることで、また少し疲れてしまった。そして、まだ日が沈まないのに、ベッドで眠りについた。ソファーの上ではなく、ベッドの上で。ゴージャスな時間だった。

I woke up at 9:30 in the morning. Outside the curtains it felt bright and fresh. I had the sensation that I was gradually shifting into a calmer season. This summer was incredibly hot, so I was already happy to feel autumn approaching. Work has been busy for the past two weeks, and despite the Obon vacation, my monthly overtime hours have reached a new record. Every Saturday morning, I usually clean the water around the house, but today was the only day I decided to skip cleaning and take it easy. However, I couldn't sit still, so I decided that if I was going to spend all that time, I should at least take a look at the current state of my financial assets as well as my household finances, so I took out my MacBook and started working on it as if I were at work. The work progressed well, and I was able to organize my recent income and expenses into an Excel file. I am proud to say that this is a big step forward for me, as I have always been allergic to household finances. I am going to take proper responsibility for my life from now on. I want to be able to manage not only money matters but also my own affairs. Perhaps it was because I used an area of my brain that I don't usually use for organizing the household budget, but I felt strangely tired. I took a nap in bed in the evening. Not on the sofa, but in bed. It was a very luxurious time.
