Friday - Cool and rainy
A good day.
I got up this morning on time, had a quiet morning really. It was nice. F got off to work on time but was a little slow moving in the morning. The weather doesn’t do his back any favours. I had breakfast a little late this morning with K, but it was our usual cereal fest!
I came back upstairs, re-watched last week’s Castle and then grabbed my clothes from the garage. They were dry, or nearly so. I came back to my room and watched a bit of Scorpion too. Not sure about that one. I went down a bit after 1 to do lunch today because I was worried about getting hungry during my evening’s class. K surprised me by wanting to have lunch with me, so I prepared something for both of us. We had two pieces of bread left, some sliced roast beef, and half a bag of salad. I made a roast beef sandwich for us, cut into four pieces. I put the salad in our bowls and then added a little bit of the roast beef to it. I also thought I’d add some instant soup to the fray. Just then, F’s niece arrived with her daughter to visit her grandmother. K invited her for lunch and I was a bit worried because I didn’t really have enough for three people but she said she’d already eaten. Whew! We sat and chatted and watched the baby play for an hour.
After she left, K and I had our lunch and it was quite nice. I got most of the sandwich and the instant soup was pretty good as well. I did the dishes afterwards as well.
I went back upstairs and did a few things to pass the time. During the day, I had put out my clothes so I didn’t have to think about it later. However, I thought about changing the shirt I picked but when I was in my closet looking for another one, a temporary bar that F had put up years ago came loose. It crashed down and put a hole in the paper window shade. Oh no! After all that, I didn’t even change my shirt.
F called me at 5:15 to say he was on his way back, so I quickly dressed and went downstairs so that I could jump in the car when he arrived. He got back around 5:40 and then we were off. He made really good time and dropped me off outside the place where the class meets. I went in and from then on things went well.
After the class, I called F to pick me up, which he did. We had dinner at Gusto. I had hoped for Cocos, but F didn’t want to go there.
After a while in the restaurant, we came back to the house. F is really tired today, so he went to bed quite soon. I’m still up blogging but am yawning away. I’ve been back in Tsuruoka for a week now and Canada feels a bit like a lovely dream. I had such a good time with my family and am not having such a great time here.
I just edited out a big paragraph about why I am not glad to be here. I know that when I was away F found my blog again so I’m not sure that I want to be that forthcoming. I do have plans to make this space better, but I am getting either opposition or apathy on all sides.
Anyway, sorry for the whiny post. I know, First World Problems.
To let you know, I won’t be posting tomorrow night as we’re going off for a night. Hopefully, you’ll hear from me on Sunday! You can look forward to that! Until tomorrow’s tomorrow….
