Thursday - A bit rainy

A good day.

I woke up around 4:30 this morning feeling like I had stopped breathing. It was the oddest thing. It really unsettled me for a bit. I went back to bed and sleep, but when I woke up in a few more hours didn’t feel too well. I felt a bit “off” for the rest of the morning.

I did my usual things today but didn’t do laundry. I will have to do it tomorrow. I need a bunch of things for my trip next weekend. As usual, I didn’t interact with K at all during the day. I think at one point she walked right past me, but she didn’t say anything and even though I did, she didn’t hear me. Sigh.

I grabbed lunch and had just taken it upstairs to eat when F called to say he was coming by the house for a moment. It was nice when he arrived, he brought me a cream puff! 

I did a bit of work on my Christmas ornament too. I got it very near the finishing point and only stopped when F called to say he was on his way. I spaced on doing Postcrossing too. Sigh. I’ll try again tomorrow. Then again, I haven’t written my Christmas Cards either. Oops. I think Canada having a postal strike has a bit to do with that. Yep, Blame Canada!

F and I decided to go to the onsen with his mother tonight. He didn’t want to take me as he thought that she’d find it strange that I would go there and not take a bath. I told him we’d already done it before, so no big deal.  

We drove out to Haguro and the two of them went off to their respective bathing sides and I went to a chair and did more of my ornament. First I checked apps and such, as is my habit. 

After K and F finished their baths, we had dinner in the spa’s restaurant. It isn’t fancy, but the food is quite good. I had my almost usual Yakiniku plate, without rice and miso soup, F and his mother had soba. I think they liked it.

We just came back to the house afterwards. K went off to bed fairly soon, F and I stayed up for a while. I watched some telly, I even let F watch some tonight too.  I made some microwave popcorn and we had that. It was just a fairly nice, low key evening. 

F asked me if I’d like to go to a concert in the Aquarium on Saturday night and I probably will go. It’s a Jazz concert and since we are “Passport Holders” at the Aquarium, it is free for us. Yay! Of course, the cd that we usually end up buying isn’t free for us!

So that’s about it for me for today. I did finish the ornament tonight. I won’t be able to post a picture of the finished one tonight, but I’ll post a picture when it was halfway done…and would you like to see the other ones I’ve done?  I thought you’d never ask!

I just finished this one tonight so no complete pic yet.

Traditional Christmas colours.

Come back later if you like and see how Friday was. Until tomorrow….
