Wednesday - Rainy
Happy Halloween!
A much better day.
Today I woke up before F did. When 7:30 came along, I thought F turned off his alarm and went back to sleep. I reminded him he needed to get up and he said he’d put it on snooze. Sure enough, a few minutes later he did get up. He seemed in a fairly decent mood too. He wasn’t too bad before bed either last night.
I got up properly around 9 and watched my morning telly. When I went down for breakfast and to do laundry, K was nowhere in sight. I was a bit surprised, but she’s entitled to stay in bed if she wants to. At 80+ I think she’s earned the right.
I watched a bit of TV in the afternoon before turning it off and buckling down to my column. Over the day, I managed to write the majority of it. I have a couple of films still to feature and then figure out which films I didn’t like this year. Happily, the list isn’t that long.
F popped in this afternoon and brought me a sandwich for lunch. It was nice but unexpected. I had told him on the phone that I was worried about his mother since I hadn’t seen her all day. Of course, she appeared as soon as we hung up! She seemed a little dazed, probably from oversleep. I made her a little bit of toast, I think she liked it.
In the evening, F came back from work and was tired again. He had worked with some chemicals today and complained of a sore throat. I told him he could nap for a while, but that I wanted to go out in an hour. I needed groceries. Apparently, K was fine and didn’t need any more food. She cooked this afternoon for herself.
I worked on my column and about an hour later, F did get up. Yay for that. He was tired, but it was okay. I suggested going to the onsen but when F heard I wasn’t going to take a bath refused to go. I’m not sure why. When I go, I buy drinks, sometimes eat meals there and buy some of the vegetables or snacks they sell. That makes me a customer too. I tried to explain that the water was too hot for me but he said it wasn’t….Umm, seriously? I think I know if it is or not. He told me the rotenburo water was cooler. Yes….but the inside bath isn’t.
We got in the car to go and to be honest, we didn’t have a destination. We drove for a bit and finally, I asked where we were going. F suggested the Chinese place near our old apartment so we went there. We shared 3 plates of food. We had a half chicken deep fried, some stir-fried vegetables with mushrooms in a garlic salt sauce and some bifun or tiny noodles with seafood. That was the one dish we didn’t really like that much.
After dinner, we went to the grocery store and picked up a few things. We came back to the house and F remembered that he was supposed to pick up kerosene since both K and I are using our heaters now. Oops. There’s a little left, we should be okay until tomorrow.
F put together a loaf of bread in the bread maker then took a shower. I did up the garbage and then took a shower. We had a quiet evening tonight. I watched TV with my headphones on. No idea if I’m still under orders to do that or not.
And that was about that. Today was a much better day than the last couple, for which I am very grateful.
I didn’t do any trick or treating and didn’t do anything at all for Halloween this year. It’s a bit sad, but oh well.
Come back later if you dare and see what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
