End of life, separation

I am in my 70s, but I hear that some people are already preparing for end-of-life planning in their 50s.

In my case, I created a Family Living Trust when I was in my 60s.

We are now considering purchasing a living grave.

One tricky thing is the separation.

This is the only thing that does not go smoothly. I guess it would be better if I just throw it away, but...

My husband has the can't-throw-it-away syndrome, which is compounded by me. The garage is so full of unimportant things that there is no room to step on

. We also have 5 fruit trees in the backyard that are not very big

and the trees are so tall that we have to cut them down on a ladder, but I'm afraid they will fall off the trees one day...

I would like to hear from people who are doing life-supporting activities and decluttering.

Thank you very much.

If you store them in boxes or clear plastic boxes,
write down what you put in them and put them on the box for easy identification.
It is easy to see even if they are stacked in a closet.
If you have a computer, you can write
living room, bedroom, closet and other storage locations in Excel, etc.
Write the contents and make a list
so you can open Excel and see where the items you need are stored. It is convenient to know where the needed items are stored as soon as you open the Excel file.

# I agree with 28 Trauma. The good thing about decluttering is that it has changed the way I shop since then. When I was shopping
I started to think about what I really wanted to buy and whether I needed these things or not.

A year and a half ago
I lost my dog, who I loved like a 2 year old child, in an accident.
I spent every day feeling like I was in hell, that it was all the owner's fault and that it could happen to me.
Even now, that feeling comes back to me every day in a flash.
Finally, finally, I can write this story, but
I don't want to go into too much detail anymore, but
please reply if you feel exactly the same way as I do and can share 100%.
I have not been able to talk to any of my dog lover friends about this for a while now.
I was shocked more than when my parents passed away.
I suddenly feel that humans are emotional creatures and if I can share that with others, I would like to share it here with everyone.

That would be your idea.
The next person who loses a dog due to negligence will either not get another dog, or if they want to adapt, they can write the facts and it will be rejected.
There is a difference between being kind and being a Christian and thinking you can be forgiven for anything. The dog may wish it had been born to a different owner.

I entered Japan on October 16. I have not been vaccinated. It is a US passport.
I showed my insurance card at Palos Verdes Medical Group in Palos Verdes and it was free.
There are a lot of Japanese people there, so when I saw the government form, they said, "Travel to Japan, OK!

I downloaded the government form from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare website, printed it out and brought it with me. That's all.
https://www.mhlw.go.jp/content/000799426.pdf

Procedure
Drop the PDF from the MHLW page and print it out.
Make an appointment for the test on the PVMG web.

Bring your insurance card, ID, and government form on the day of the appointment.
The location is 550 Deep Valley Dr #319, Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274
Parking at the mall, 4th floor ( Outdoor parking on the roof ) White tent.

There you will take out the ID government form, fill out the checklist, and have a brief Q&A session with the doctor remotely to do a nasal exam.
You will remain in the car. Brief question. I'm in good health ? I'm vaccinated ?.

test results are in 2-3 hours. Not many PCR tests are done anymore and it was empty, so it didn't take 2 hours.
I'm going to leave for now. I can test in the morning and pick up in the afternoon.

I get a call for pickup and go to the rooftop parking on the 4th floor again.
There you will have easy access to the PVMG office. It is just on the same floor.
You will need to wear a mask to enter the office.
Pick up a piece of paper with the doctor's signed test results and a rubber stamped government form.
Naturally, you don't have to pay because you have an insurance card, it's free.
Then register those two cards in My SOS and you will be blue and ready to go.
It might be a little useful to do Visit Japan as well.

At LAX, show the My SOS screen and the form and they will let you on the plane.
It is natural to wear a mask. The young American who was told to wear a mask got cranky and didn't wear one the whole time.
I wear a mask the whole time I am on the plane. On a different note, ANA had an entertainment set list that was not interesting at all.

When you arrive at Narita, you can connect to the airport Wi-Fi ( The staff will even connect you quickly ) Things pass smoothly when you present your My SOS blue screen.
At immigration, there is no one at the Japanese passport gate anymore. Only the foreigner gate had about 50 people.
Seems like more than half of the whole group was connecting to Southeast Asia.
Passing through immigration was about 2-30 minutes, and customs was over 2-3 minutes after presenting Visit Japann because there was no line.
Both immigration and customs in Japan are friendly and courteous.
But when I left the gate, there was no TV Tokyo crew there.

The travel agency's website says it costs several hundred dollars for inspection, but if you can move around by yourself and have an insurance card, how about this way?

In Japan, everyone wears masks even outdoors. My friend says to be careful, because if you don't wear a mask, you will be treated as a stranger.
He said that even when eating a meal, you must not take off your mask until just before you put the food in your mouth, and then you must put it back on and munch it down.
He told me to think of it as a game. I don't know if this is true or not since I am new to Japan.
At least I often see people drinking through a straw with a mask on, or pumping the sanitizer repeatedly when entering a store.

Japan is a very considerate country. Everyone is polite. Even if you are driving alone or outdoors and there is no one nearby, people wear masks to prevent infection. I even feel nostalgia for the things that the U.S. did right after the pandemic and are still done in Japan. I will try not to be a stranger.

Mike's Mike,

very clear procedure.
Do Americans have MySOS ?
I thought that if you were vaccinated, you could enter the country normally, like before corona.

I am relieved to hear that there is no congestion.

I will return in December.

Excuse me for the sidebar.
I was able to get a free exam at Palos Verdes Medical Group this past July with my Kaiser insurance.
My friend was also able to get a free exam with Kaiser's insurance, so I don't think any insurance company will have a problem.
As Mike's Mike wrote, I received the results about 2 hours after the test. Many of my Japanese friends around me also use this service.

I had a friend visiting from Japan last week, but he had been vaccinated 3 times and returned home without PCR test.
He said that the entry and exit at Narita was very smooth.
Both Americans and Japanese are required to register for My SOS when entering Japan.
If you have not registered, you will be asked to register at the airport when you enter Japan.
It takes about 15 minutes to register, so it is recommended to complete it before leaving the US.

I hope this was helpful.

For example, if you have been sleeping for a short time before but have no physical problems, you may want to wait and see how you feel. To begin with, what is a normal person's sleep like ( time ? feeling of sound sleep ? ). If you have a specific idea of what you want to do, and you don't want to take medication, how about using a sleep supplement such as melatonin?

It has been almost a year since I requested services for my mother, who lives alone, from a Japanese caregiver company called H Service.
I am no longer convinced that the cost of the service is worth the several thousand dollars per month that the office charges (frequent subs ) and the care giver's work (my mother says he is always looking at his cell phone, is late, etc.).
I am thinking of looking for a private care giver instead of going through a company, but I would appreciate your advice on the advantages and disadvantages of getting services from a company or from a private care giver.

#27 insider,
I agree with what you both said. You are right.
My mother's care giver is constantly complaining about the office. Was she lied to by the office? Was she cheated?
The client's mother hears, "Oh, well, that's tough."
I wish care givers would vent their dissatisfaction with the company to each other.

I'm not talking to you because you're talking away again.
I said in a previous response that you shouldn't talk about it to that extent because you " don't know, but " you said it yourself.
I'm repeating something similar, but the details of care are decided by the family and the company, so it's normal for things to differ from person to person.
"What are you doing for long hours too? " does that mean you can ask that to other full time company employees as well as care givers?

Complaining about the company to the client, complaining about the family to the care giver...
It's kind of sad, isn't it?
I'll tell you more... I'd like to tell you a little more... Care givers have almost no contact with each other, and the company knows this, so even if there is a problem, they often leave it alone because they think it won't become a problem.
Even if you try to think of the client first, the company does not have such a system, so it is true that many people have to deal with problems alone. I know this is off topic, but I hope it happens because finding a good match will make everyone happy.
