Thursday - Cloudy, with thunderstorms

A good day.

I got up on time this morning and that was good! I didn’t oversleep. I got dressed, watched the news and also NCIS. I went downstairs a few times to do dishes after breakfast. I spent a lot of the day in my room though.

I was watching the TV and I heard K sweeping the stairs and the hall outside my room. I hate when she does it as I feel it is my responsibility, but since I don’t have a broom, only do it when I can vacuum in peace. I decided to just let her do it today.  I did come out of the room a bit later and I said thank you to her. It’s so hard to communicate with her.

Around 4 pm I started to wrap the presents that we have so far for my sister’s family. I weighed everything, wrote down the values and got ready for sending things. I didn’t finish, but I started and that is a good thing!

F came back fairly early tonight. I asked what he wanted to do for dinner, but he didn’t have any ideas. I thought that he and his mother wanted to go to an onsen tonight, so I suggested going to the Chinese Restaurant in Kushibiki and then dropping me off at the house before going to the nearby spa.  He thought that was a good idea and talked to his mother about it. She decided she didn’t want to go to the onsen anymore, and then F decided that too. 

We went to the Chinese Restaurant and it was good tonight. K had a mabo-rice dish, or spicy tofu and meat on rice, F had his usual yakisoba with starchy sauce and I had my usual stirfry of egg, black fungus, pork and veggies. It was good.  We enjoyed our meals very much. 

We came back to the house and stayed in tonight. I watched quite a bit of TV tonight, including ER and NCIS. F watched a fishing show later on with my blessing.  

Tonight was quiet but good. F and I had a bit of a bonding moment. This house isn’t good for us being together. I’m usually in a different room from him and the physical separation seems really large, even though the room isn’t that big. 


Tomorrow I have to finish the rest of the wrapping if I can, and also make a start on my nengajo. Wish me luck with that!  Until tomorrow….
