Hot and sunny. I think it's a trend...knock wood.
I have a habit of grabbing a book to read for the few seconds that I need to sign into one of my blogsites. While the computer is doing its thing, I can get a page or two read. Lately my book has been New Moon, the Stephenie Meyer novel and it finally got interesting last night. The result....yours truly didn't go to bed until almost 4. Sigh.
When I did get up this morning it was a pretty touch and go affair, but I did it. There wasn't any news on right away, but I caught the beginning (and then the middle and ending) of The Day After Tomorrow and got sucked in again. I had a quiet morning around the apartment and was delighted to find that I could see both US and UK news on NHK at noon. Yay. After the news was over I decided to go out.
I went to the post office first to make a payment for the book shipment I got last week. I got a bit stuck on how to do it, so I asked the guy, and he showed me. It was a simple thing. I thought I had to press the screen first, then put the payment form in, but it was the other way around, payment form first, then press the buttons. Simple when you know how. Then, I headed off on my bike to Kaneta.
Kaneta is a little clothing and household goods store that is near my apartment. Sometimes I can find amazing stuff in the shop, other times, nothing. I often get reasonably priced children's clothing for my niece and nephew there so I had a look around. I took my time, poked into many nooks and crannies, but didn't find much today. Then, just as I was ready to leave, I noticed some cool tie-dyed t-shirts. They were just Japanese enough to be interesting, but not so out there that my niece couldn't wear them. I picked one out, checked all the seams and that there weren't any mysterious holes or stains and decided to get it. I also got us more dish towels for the apartment. The ones we have now are getting quite yucky so I think I'll cull the lot of them. I paid and biked home.
When I got home I was surprised to see our car in the parking lot. I went in the apartment and there was hubby. He told me that his mother hadn't been feeling well and asked him to take her to the doctor. The doctor she wanted to see was still on holiday, so he took her to her home and then came home. Hmm. We watched Criminal Minds while I showed him the t-shirt and washed the towels I just bought.
He ended up taking a nap while I watched my afternoon telly. Good! He doesn't get to come home and make me miss Re:Genesis! Later, I joined him for a bit of a snuggle.
We had dinner tonight at Edoichi. It was okay. I hadn't eaten during the day, so I was quite hungry. Hubby was too, so it was probably a good choice.
After dinner we went to MaxValu so I could restock my supply of sunflower seeds. We also got the fixings for tomorrow's dinner. F is going to make nameru and I'm going to do pork chops in Worchestershire sauce. Yum.
We came home and watched a rather strange Nicole Kidman film that I had taped last night. It was good, but offbeat. F watched it with me and we both agreed that it was a little hard to understand.
And that's my day. It was quite good. I managed to get a couple of my goals done for the day--post office, Kaneta, and I spent extra time with my hubby. Catch you tomorrow? Night.
