Smartwatch

Now, many people wear a smartwatch. I also wear one.

I believe I was one of the early users of smartwatches. A friend of mine wore one and recommended it to me. I liked it. I quickly ordered a smartwatch.

Smartwatches have developed nicely. But the old models were not so “smart.”

My smartwatch evaluates my sleep every day. Sleep is important for health. I started to care about my sleep. The smartwatch can share my sleep information with my family and friends. Actually, I don’t use that function. If you can share sleep information with close friends or family, it might be fun, though. But if you take a nap during work time and everyone knows that, it would be embarrassing.

Once, I went to a dental clinic for a regular checkup. After the checkup, a dental hygienist removed tartar from my teeth. I hated that. It was a very unpleasant experience. The machine was noisy. I couldn’t move during the treatment. It took almost one hour.

After that, I bought a soft drink. I had a small celebration party by myself. The next checkup was six months later. I didn’t need to go to a dentist for six months, as I didn’t have any tooth problems. What a relief!

Then, I checked my smartwatch, which linked to my smartphone. I was shocked. My smartwatch recognized that one hour as a nap. I didn’t sleep! Who can sleep while having tartar removed? Am I a big shot? Was the smartwatch really “smart”?

I recommend smartwatches to you. New smartwatch models never make this kind of mistake anymore.

Towels

My mother used to fold towels into three for storage. That was our family style. I assumed everyone folded towels into three.

When my mother had Alzheimer’s disease, helpers started to come to her house. They did many tasks, such as laundry. Then, I realized most people fold towels into four. I didn’t have any reason to tell them about our family style. I adopted their style and started to fold towels into four.

But at my house, I kept our family tradition. My wife I and folded towels into three.

My mother has since passed away. And I found my wife now tends to fold towels into four. At my wife’s parents house, they fold towels into four. She had adopted my style before. I fold towels into three; my wife folds them into four. That is not efficient. Differently folded towels are not good for storage.

From now on, I will fold towels into four.

Goodbye, Mommy.
