日本語を話しましょう (Let's speak Japanese)

ペスブクには “Let’s learn Japanese” ページが あります。 私は 新しい 漢字や 文法や 単語を ならって います。 毎しゅう 月曜日と 金曜日に 私は ふくしゅうを します。

Translation:
In Facebook, there is a “Let’s learn Japanese” page. I am learning new kanji and grammar and vocabulary. Every week, Monday and Friday, I review (my lessons).

I did not intend to show off my Japanese writing skills, but merely illustrate how I’ve been spending time during my three and a half hour “oil-change”. I feel somewhat productive, and with that and my almost daily lessons and practice reading Japanese posts in Facebook, I feel that my skills are improving. I am pretty sure I have a bunch of gramatical errors in that three-sentence post.

On a health note, my energy streak is coming back. In the last few weeks, I have had a summer cold, pinched nerve on my toe, gout, and that time of the month (ugh!). ENOUGH already! I’ve missed my workouts at the gym and the pool (which probably gave me the cold). I am glad I am at the tail-end of things. Maybe next week, we’ll do laps again!
