Monday - Cloudy, cold and rainy

A crap day.

When I woke up this morning F was still here. He’d been downstairs and seen his mother.  She wanted to go to the doctor as she wasn’t feeling well.  Around 9 am he took her off and I did many of my morning things.  

I had my breakfast and watched a little telly.  When they came back, K went to rest and F and I went out to see if we could get a flu shot.  We weren’t able to do that today but made a reservation for it for next month.  After that, we went to the glasses shop so that F could have his glasses fixed and buy some batteries for his mother.  

After that, lunch. We went to a local restaurant near F’s house and it was…okay. It wasn’t great. We both had a dish called gratin spaghetti. It was quite unusual.  A salad was included, but not a drink or anything else.  

We decided to go for coffee afterwards so ended up at Komeda Coffee again.  We had a large coffee each and F seemed to fall asleep.  I’d ask him something and it took about 5 tries before I could get him to answer me.  Since we weren’t ready to go back to the house, I suggested the Internet Cafe.  

We got in and spent the next three hours in massage chairs.  It was nice and quite relaxing. 

Around 6 pm we left the Internet Cafe and then came back to the house to check on K.  She was fine and had already eaten, so we went out again.  I suggested that we go to Cocos since we had a dessert coupon for the place. I know that F doesn’t like the place, but the food is quite good and so is the drink bar.

We went in, got a table and ordered. I used my app to get a discount on a couple of things, and F tried to do it too. He’s been having iPhone troubles and couldn’t get the app to work.  He spent the rest of our dinnertime trying to fix his phone. I tried really hard not to talk to him because he always freaks out when I talk to him when he’s reading Japanese. I had half of my main course eaten before he even took a mouthful of his. There was no conversation of course. I was quite sure that if I left and sat at another table he wouldn’t have noticed. 

Finally, our dessert arrived and was quite spooktacular.  I asked F if he was going to take a picture of it and he wasn’t too happy with me. He told me to eat the whole dessert myself.  It was huge and we planned to share it. I suggested that maybe he should give up for now and he got quite angry with me.  I had tried so hard not to annoy him, but honestly, his rudeness just broke my heart.

Dessert.  There was a container of syrup that we poured on the "clouds" and they melted.
Note the iPhone in question.

After the syrup. There was strawberry ice cream, chocolate cake, marshmallows,
fruit and a stick thingy. It wasn't bad at all. 

He did end up eating some of the dessert, but we left a good part of it behind.  

In the car, I got blasted about how he couldn’t listen to me speak in English while he’s reading in Japanese. I pointed out that he had barely talked to me at all during dinner. He said that he would never come to Cocos or Gusto again.  I told him it was fine since I didn’t want to eat with him again anyway. 

I suggested going to the store to get his mother something she’d asked for but he refused.  We drove back to the house.  After a while, he did apologize to me, but I told him the truth. I’m so tired of being ignored when we go out for meals. I look around and people are having conversations. At our table? He’s playing with his phone. I’m guilty of it too, but at least I put it down once in a while and try to talk to him.  

We took showers (definitely not together) and somewhere along the way F cut his foot. I put a bandage on it for him.  We’ve been talking to each other, but not very much.  After F complained about Bake-Off being noisy, he demanded that I wear headphones. I told him that if he found our headphones I would definitely wear them.  He got so antsy that I dug out my headphones for my iPod and an extension cord for headphones and plugged them in.  

That’s about it. I’m really wishing that I could spend a couple of nights away, but it isn’t a good time for me to do that.  I’ll just have to plan a great trip for myself later this year. 


Come back later if you want to see how my Tuesday goes. Hope it doesn’t get any worse than Monday was. Until tomorrow….
