Hello, good evening I'm sumomo 😊🍑.

It's been about a month and a half since the new fiscal year started, and it's time to start feeling tired 😣.

I know it's different for everyone, but this time of year, the busyness that starts at the end of the fiscal year continues after the start of the fiscal year, and I have the image of being tired before I know it 😵.

The company I worked for after my second year as a new graduate had a tatami mat break room in my department.

One day, when everyone had gone home and I was alone, I felt so tired that I laid down in the break room (:З"∠).

(I usually don't feel comfortable lying down in the office 😂)

It's just about this time of year.

It was the beginning of the New fiscal year, so I was very busy and didn't realize how tired I was, but the moment I went into the break room and was alone, I got distracted and realized how tired I was.

I thought at that time 🌱that I should be conscious of taking a rest because sometimes you don't realize how tired you are.

It is difficult to do so, though (--;)

"It's that time of the year when you start to feel tired, is everyone OK? I was going to write something like that, but it turned out to be too long, but I'd like to get down to business!

--------------------

I will post a blog this time🍀.

If you don't mind reading the words, please read it ( . .)" 💛

I climbed a mountain during Golden Week ⛰.

I climbed "Tsurugi-san", the second highest mountain in western Japan.

At 1955m, it is roughly half the height of Mt Fuji (3776m) 😊.

Hmmm...

......🤔

......... doesn't ring a bell 💦.

As someone who doesn't usually climb mountains, the height doesn't ring a bell for me at all even if it's explained in words only.

However, when I actually climbed up and looked at the view from the top, I thought "it's so high"!

--------------------

Climbing was tough...

I think it is quite difficult for a non-climber to climb a mountain with an elevation of 1955m, but in fact, this mountain can be easily reached by car up to the halfway point and by lift from there to the elevation of 1,750m.

In other words, the actual walking distance is only about 200m above sea level.

I think it is easy for people who usually exercise.

I almost gave up many times during the climbing breaks because of my lack of exercise and weak windpipe 🥹 lol.

By the way, I took about 10 breaks (too many breaks).

My friend who went with me seemed to be a regular exerciser and looked relaxed when I was zeeing and ahhing.

I don't think he would have taken a single break if he hadn't come with me 🫥.

--------------------

I arrived at the top!

I finally made it to the top, even though the dry, cold air was almost killing my windpipe!

I'm glad I didn't give up and climbed!

At the top I took a selfie for the support site 📸.

All of my clothes were from home, so I wasn't conscious of anything other than keeping warm, which is pretty appropriate 🙄.

I only have makeup on my eyebrows and I'm squinting because of the glare, so I guess my face looks different from when I take cosplay selfies 👀💦.

--------------------

How did I feel when I got to the top?

The view from the top was beautiful and the breeze felt great.

I don't usually see mountains from the top, so it was refreshing to look down at other mountains.

Looking down from a high vantage point makes everything around you seem smaller.

It made me feel better not only about what I could actually see from the top, but also about my own problems because they seemed so small.

Also, I think it is well known that climbers greet each other when passing each other for safety reasons, but even if they are complete strangers, I felt a connection to the fact that we were sharing the same experience (climbing the mountain), which was also healing.

I would like to climb again if I can forget the physical hardship soon.

Video of us talking while descending on the lift (I posted it on my Instagram story and will post it here as well)

Thank you for taking the time to read this long article to the end!

I'll post one more cosplay photo this month: 🇨🇳

I'll let you know what I plan to post next month then 😊.
