Sunny but cold.

I got up this morning for a quick trip to the loo and looked outside. The world was white. Sigh. Over the rest of the day however, most of the snow melted. There is still a bit in places that are shady, but most of it is gone. It is still rather cold outside.

We had a relaxing morning. I slept in as usual, but Fumihiko didn't seem to get annoyed with me. We went out for sushi for lunch, then came back home. He was busy with "apartment management" things.

He left a little after 6 to go to his meeting, and came back quite late. I was a little surprised how long he was. It was well after 8 before he came back. He'd eaten a bit, and also brought some food home for later.

I hadn't eaten though, so I requested a real izakaya, and that's where we went. It's near the sushi restaurant, so really I didn't travel that far today. We had quite a nice mixture of dishes. Fumihiko suggested some sashimi, but I reminded him that we had sushi for lunch so he agreed that we didn't need more fish. He ordered it anyway. Then seemed a little hurt when I didn't want any. He had forgotten his wallet, so I paid the bill.

We went to the grocery store afterward and got a few things. I think I'll make dinner tomorrow night. That's the plan at the moment anyway.

When we came home, Fumihiko did pay me back, so I'm not broke anymore. We also talked about watching a movie. My friend had sent me Atonement on DVD from Canada, but it was on WOWOW tonight. It was his chance to see it with subtitles if he wanted to. He said he didn't need them, and we didn't watch the movie. Sigh. I'm a bit glad as the book, while wonderfully written, was quite sad. I didn't need that before bed on a Sunday night really.

After Fumihiko went to bed I got the garbage all ready for him to take out in the morning, and set up the coffee pot for us. Oh what fun.

I can hear noises from the bedroom that tell me my husband isn't sleeping yet. It really gets on my nerves. I try to put off blogging until he's asleep, so I can have some calm time, but it doesn't always work.

Anyway, I had better go. I don't want this to turn into a rant about my husband. He was very nice today, so I want to keep him like that!

Night.

From your comment "i'm not broke anymore" does that mean you don't share your finances?

Just wondering how other couples do it. Yasu takes care of all our finances and gives me a weekly allowance that i can spend on whatever i like. I didn't know if that is the normal way or what, so was intrigued by your statement...

Dinner and groceries last night took most of my cash that I had on me. DH paid me back, so I had money in my wallet again.

Talking about money in depth on a public forum isn't something that I'm comfortable doing.

Thanks for commenting though ;-)
