Wednesday - Sunny in the am, bit of snow later on

Had a mostly good day today. I went to bed with a hot water bottle that was really hot so think I’ll wrap it in a towel tonight. It is nice to keep my feet warm on though. F offered to let me put my feet on his back when I come to bed, but I think I’d have to sleep at a very funny angle to do that!

Watched a bit of TV in the am, then didn’t watch anything for a long time. I read the paper, and wrapped F’s presents. Well, some of them. I have misplaced one of his presents. He got me to buy him a shirt and I can’t find it! I’ve looked in the usual places, but I must have really outdone myself this time. Sigh.

In the evening after F came home it got a bit tense. He has been shovelling snow at work everyday and his back can’t take it. He comes home and is really tired and in a lot of pain. During the day, I had taken out our electric nabe and washed it in preparation for dinner tonight. He saw it in the drainer and apologised for not washing it last time…but he did. He got confused and (I think) he thought we’d had nabe last night. Anyway, it wasn’t a big deal, but then he went on the hunt for food and “stuff”. He wasn’t making much sense and he was driving me crazy with the noise.

We ended up going out before dinner to my school to set the heater and to the grocery store so F could get some noodles for the end of the nabe. He really wasn’t doing well, I could tell by the way he acted.

At home again, F put the nabe together and then we ate. It was pretty good, although the soup smelled funny to me. We used a miso ramen base tonight. I made some tea and we enjoyed our dinner.

I did the dishes afterwards. One of the nice things about having nabe is there isn’t much clean up. Yay.

We settled in for the evening. F watched inane Japanese TV…yup, the regular stuff. I thought Grey’s was on tonight, but it wasn’t. At one point tonight I begged F not to make me watch Japanese TV all though the New Year break. Note to self, bring home mini dvd player from school. Remind me, would you all?

Anyway, F went to bed early, but he’s not sleeping that well. I can always tell. I have an early class tomorrow and if I have to shovel snow I’ll have to leave quite early so I had best get off the computer and catch a bit of sleep. Got to go. Night!
