A free day

My husband, Jack, went on a two-day business trip to Japan alone. I had a serious case of indigestion and was afraid of the loneliness at night. At first, I worried about how I would spend my days. But to my surprise, I felt freedom!

I normally have to think about what to eat for dinner everyday and it is not easy especially because Jack doesn't like what I like nor does he like to eat what normal Korean people eat such as bean-curd soup, Kimchi, grilled fish, etc. He likes chicken(he is crazy about fried chicken!), pork cutlet, Korean barbeque, hamburger, steak and things that are crispy. On the other hand, I like Namul(cooked vegetables usually in Bibimpbob), Korean soup, tofu, fish and things that are soft. So I have difficulty deciding what to eat for every evening. On top of that, I am worried his health, especially his high cholesterol level, because his diet mainly consists of meat. These are the kind of things that give me a headache every evening!

But yesterday, I was free! I didn't need to think about what to eat and there was no need to cook for someone. So I went to my mom's house and my mom set the table for me and cooked porridge and various soft vegetable side dishes to help my sick stomach. Normally I wash the dishes but yesterday, she did all the dishes including my lunch-box and took care of me. As I was leaving, my mom packed me more porridge and side dishes for the next day.

I was totally free from my housework, plus I was taken care of by my mom. It was a wonderful feeling! How nice it is! I realize now how important and how thankful I am to have my mom. Only my mom can give me these feelings of security, reliability and warmth. Nobody else.

By the way, Jack is coming back tonight, So I am free until tonight. I will go to my mom's place again to enjoy my last free night! Mom, I love you!

P.S) Certainly, I miss Jack too :) Maybe he will understand my freedom.

Start blogging!

Well, finally I made my blog account here. I am not a good storyteller, but everytime when I read Joanne( who is a friend of mine)'s daily blog, I could know and feel her and her life.
It is a great way to keep connected with friends. So I decided to create my own blog but in English.^^ Actually I have a Korean hompage, but it is written by only Korean. So for Keeping in touch with my foreign friends, I had to have global(?) blog in English.( I am not a native!!! It is not just easy comparing to telling by my own language!)

By the way, I thought about my blog's name again and again. But I couldn't think very unique name yet, so I decided very simple title for now. Jin's story about my thinking, life, feeling, likes & dislikes. Is anybody have good idea for my blog's title? =)
