April 30, 2009 - Thursday

Sunny I think. I didn't go out.

Oh dear. Not a great day. Not terrible or anything, just kind of blah. I think I'm going through a bit of culture shock again, plus reading some of my old blog entries makes me miss my family a lot. I went back to Canada a couple of times during Golden Week as it was a long break from work.

I got up and found that the coffee pot was brewing. I was surprised as I hadn't set it last night. Fumihiko had done it as a gift for me. It was sweet.

I had a quiet stay at home day. I watched TV, but nothing too special, then made my lunch. After lunch and the dishes I cleaned the sink. Really, nothing too exciting.

I took a shower after Fumihiko said he was coming home. He came home a bit later and we spent some time together. I was getting cold and hungry so I started to make dinner.

Tonight was a stirfry. It was pretty good, pork with lots of veggies and tofu. I thought it was yummy, and so did Fumihiko. He ate two helpings. I put my second away for lunch tomorrow.

We had a kind of spat over dinner and I think it was mostly my fault. I said that I'd like to go to the mall sometime to do some shopping. These days when we go to the mall it's after 8 pm and we're planning to see a movie. That leaves us no time for shopping. Besides, if you want my honest opinion, shopping with my husband is not much fun. He never has an opinion about anything I look at and I find it ten times more stressful than shopping alone. I pointed out that I had friends who have had babies and I wasn't able to send them presents because I never got to the shops. It's kind of embarrassing actually.

Anyway, he got mad and stormed out for a while. He came back with a huge bag of junk food and beer which he proceeded to eat and drink right in front of me, rather noisily. Bleck. Rather than let him watch some godawful Japanese show, asked him if we could watch last night's Desperate Housewives. He said yes, so I sat on the couch for a while and we watched it together. I restarted my crochet with my new hook. It's much better now.

He went to bed just after the show. I'm really glad honestly.

I won't be posting on Saturday by the way as I'm going to Sakata overnight. Not sure about tomorrow night. I'm thinking about something that I probably won't do. And, on that cryptic note, I'll bid you goodnight. Goodnight!
