Sunday - clear and sunny

An odd and not great day.

I slept in this morning.  I got up a couple of times and F seemed happily ensconced on the couch watching TV or his computer. When I got up he didn’t seem angry or happy just normal.  We talked about going out, but didn’t.  He went back to bed for a while, so I thought he might want to talk, but when I went in to see him, he was playing a fishing game on his cell phone and wasn’t too talkative.

I got up, then he did too.  

We ended up going to Kintaro Sushi for brunch. It was nice.  I enjoyed it.  When we finished the weather was gorgeous and we started driving an unusual route, so I thought we might be going for a drive, but came home. I thought about going for a walk, which I maybe should have, but didn’t feel like it.  I went in and after a while, went back to bed and slept for the next 3 hours, more or less.

When I got up, we went out for dinner after a little bit of negotiating and arguing from F.  His first choice wasn’t available, so we went to another bloody fish restaurant.  Anyway, we had an okay meal there.  I didn’t have fish or rice, twice in one day doesn’t do good things for me.  

We went by my school to set the heater for the evening tomorrow.  F is going to do my taxes up, hopefully! 

We bought a few groceries tonight.  I told him as I was putting things into my basket that I wasn’t going to cook for him.  After last week, when I spent hours making gorgeous vegetable soup and then he threw snit fits about it, I’m just not bothered.  He can live on ramen and other noodles for all I care.  

When we got him, I really didn’t want to go into the apartment. I was standing next to the car, thinking about how to avoid going in when F grabbed my hand.  It was like he thought I was scared of the icy snow.  He walked me into the apartment.  I was really surprised.  This was the nicest thing he’d done for me in days.  

Inside, he set up the bread machine for the morning, and I made tea.  We finished up the last of the Valentine’s Cake and it was fabulous.  Then, we had some of his chocolate from me.  I watched a little TV and when he went to bed, he came over to me and hugged me!  I was seriously surprised.  It must have been the chocolate!  

I know he’s in pain from his back and neck, but the thing is I am so tired of being the recipient of his bad moods.  I have no one to talk about this with and no way to get rid of my stress either.  To be honest, today, I even looked up the cost of flying back to Canada.  One way.  

That’s it for me for tonight.  In the next couple of days I hope to have a new Postcrossing entry up and start my next journal article.  I have so much to do and this is a short month.  Ack!  Night.
