Sunny and hot. Nice day.
I woke up this morning around 8:15, got up, checked for news and as I was watching NHK it started. A jackhammer going at 8:30 in the morning. Honestly. This country has no sense of my sacred quiet mornings.
I closed the window on that side of the apartment, but still got the noise, so didn't really sleep more. Later, I showered, did a load of laundry and also vacuumed. Amazing.
Fumihiko came home a bit after 1:30 and immediately had something to eat. It annoyed me because we'd planned to go out together for lunch. We did anyway, but would have been sooner at the restaurant. We went to Hyakukenburi, a restaurant near the university. It's on a lake and sells locally made food, food that the University students produce. It was lovely. F had noodles and I had chicken. Mine was so pretty when it arrived. My chicken was in a box, sashimi was on a leaf in a bed of ice...just so nice. After we both had something to drink, mine was herb tea while hub had coffee.
He drove me to the dentist's office after lunch. I was examined by the dentist and he told me that I have a cavity, or actually two, where two of my teeth meet. He was able to fix them today. However, I have another problem going on in my mouth, my jaw has been sore for a bit. He hoped that the fillings might help, but if not, I should go back. He has another place that he thinks it might be. Sigh. I think I'll have to go back honestly.
F was still walking like a 90 year old, so he wanted to go to the doctor, I on the other hand wanted to go shopping. So, he dropped me off at S-Mall, and I did a bit of looking around. I bought some stickers for my classes, then visited the 100 yen shop. F called me when I was there. He met up with me and we left the store. Now, while I was waiting for him to meet me, I had bumped up against a rack of magnets. One fell on the ground so I picked it up and put it back. Didn't think anything else about it. Hubs and I decide to go for coffee, take the escalator downstairs and as I get off the escalator I heard something fall behind me. It was a package of magnets! It probably had attached itself to my handbag (it's like a small backpack, so I wouldn't have noticed) or to my jeans...my cellphone was in the pocket. We were both surprised to say the least. We took it back to the store. I REALLY hope they don't think I stole it, I shop there all the time.
After a lovely coffee drink we went to karaoke. I wasn't sure that I could go as my mouth was still frozen, but something about the drink seemed to clear out the freezing. Yay.
We went to Manekineko and had a great old time. I was thrilled to discover that "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred was finally available, so I did it. It's such a fun song. (I love the Right Said Fred disc Up. It is so catchy and happy.) I sang a bunch of songs, mostly my favourites, but I tried a couple of newer ones too. I tried Allison's song from American Idol, Alone and thought it wasn't too bad, and I tried something else that was on Idol and all I could think about was how Simon would ream me out (deservedly) for the way I was singing!
We left around 8 and had dinner in New York, New York. It was okay. It still hurt to chew though, then came home via the grocery store. I decided to cook tomorrow. Hurray.
At home we relaxed for a while and then watched American Idol. Tonight was the "Anything you want from top downloads" week. It was okay. A few people really did well, some not so much. I am surprised, but I often agree with the judges.
And that's it. My day. It was fairly good, although I really hope that my mouth starts feeling better soon. Got to go. Night!
