A Medical Checkup and a Night Out

I went to city hall just before 5 pm and got my My Number Card. After that, I had a medical checkup. It was a group medical examination, and the cost was only 800 JPY. I went to the bar Nagomi. I met a familiar staff member who is a university student. I had not seen him for over a year. I returned to my parents’ house, but there was not much dinner, and I felt uncomfortable. These days, I hate my father, and his presence makes me feel disgusted. I left home again. I visited the bar Kitaro. I did not have much fun, so after having a beer and some cucumber, I moved on to the bar Tachimachi-ya. I met a man whose wife worked at Amazon Japan. His story was interesting. I met another man who had been a university student when I first met him, but he has since gotten a job and currently lives in another city. In the end, I talked with a regular customer, Zuka-san. However, I was bored with the topic of her job. I moved on to the bar Ajia-tei. The bar owner, Oki-san, gave me some nice small dishes. Furthermore, he gave me a small cup of stir-fried rice. I was able to maintain a moderate drinking habit that night. On the other hand, I felt a sense of emptiness. I read a book for a while in bed and fell asleep at around 1 am.
