Monday - Cold but sunny
A mostly good day.
Yesterday was great. The drive to Koriyama went fast and we found our hotel easily. There was an earthquake soon after we arrived though.
In the evening we went out with a couple of my ex-coworkers and had dinner. It was very nice! I even ate oysters and didn’t mind. I tried to watch Hanna on the Video on Demand system in the room, but F was making so much noise I wanted to throw something at him. I’m not talking about about his cough, but his searching for things, rustling paper and just general male noisiness.
This morning I got up before him. He didn’t want to get up at all. When we finally went down for breakfast he got rather mad at me…okay, we got mad at each other. I couldn’t read the sign and thought that the jug full of an icy beverage was water, but apparently it was apple vinegar. I took a bit in my cup but smelled it. As it smelled like apples I held it up to F to smell it too and said it was vinegar. He grabbed it and drank it. I have no idea why. I got mad and looked for the water, before I finally found it. Then I got a lecture on how selfish I was.
We checked out after I took a shower. We tried to find a coffee shop with parking so we could spend some of the time between our appointments, but couldn’t, so F dumped me off unceremoniously at the station and went on his merry way. I did a bit of looking around the station and then met up with Judi around 11. We went to Tullys and had tea or coffee and a cookie each.
We talked about our club stuff and then she gave me a guided tour to a department store with great stuff in it, before she left for work. I hacked the store for a few hours. I bought a few post cards, but nothing else. I wanted to, believe me, but I didn’t have the money or the need.
I walked back to the station after a while and had lunch. I was nearly finished when F called to say he was done, and was going to the meeting place. I finished, went to a store for an import bar of chocolate, then crossed the streets to the Mr. Donuts. I had just arrived, when I saw F’s car coming down the road. Good timing!
We had a quick meal at Denny’s. Okay, I didn’t, F did. He had noodles, I had an avocado gratin that was really delicious. We headed home soon after this and started the long trip back to Tsuruoka.
It was mostly uneventful. I fell asleep for part of it, as usual, but for the most part stayed awake I think. We stopped a few times for drinks, eats, and toilets.
When we arrived in Tsuruoka, we went to New York, New York for dinner (steak—we had discount coupons), then my school, the grocery store, then home.
We spent a quiet evening at home. I had a lot of email to read, F watched stuff on his computer while I watched Harry’s Law. That was about it. I’m really tired now, so I think I’ll just end this and go to bed soon. Night!
