Sunday - Cold and Snowy

We slept in a bit this morning.  F got up and made his mother some breakfast, I stayed upstairs.  He asked about going out a bit later and that was fine with me. I suggested going to my Indian Restaurant from yesterday so that’s what we did. It was really cold in there though, but the food was good. We both had the all you can eat naan set. I had chicken curry, F had a paneer curry. They were both good.

After lunch, I asked that we visit a craft shop. I’ve been eyeing those “Shawls in a Ball”  things and wanted to see if they had any on sale. Well, they did as a matter of fact. I bought a couple of balls since I’m a little larger than the typical Japanese woman! I also got some warm socks for around the house. Yay me.

We visited the drugstore before this. I wanted some medicine for my gum. I’ve got a sore spot and with us planning to go away on New Years Day didn’t want to be searching for open drugstores on the way. F said I should go to the dentist, which of course would be my preference, but it was Sunday and the Sunday before New Year.  Not too many dentists open. He did have the good grace to agree with me.

We went to Doutor in the mall to have a drink and relaxed there for a while. F’s former back doctor came over and said hello. It was nice to see him.  After our drinks, we bought a few things from the grocery store and brought them back to the house.  K was in bed when we arrived, I think she’d been in bed the whole day.  She got up to eat her bento from yesterday. I went upstairs with our shopping. 

F and I decided to try to go to karaoke in the evening, but I suggested calling first to see if they had space for us. Of course, none of the places did. Some did invite us to come and wait in their lobbies in case there was a vacancy, but we decided not to go. 

We went over to the Internet Cafe for some massaging chair time. We were both able to get chairs so we stayed there for three hours. I enjoyed it. I did a touch of crochet, watched some videos, had dinner and got to relax. 

We left when our 3 hours was up and then came back to the house. F took his shower first, and then I did. I had planned to bring up some of my Christmas Pudding for us, but he got a bit snippy with me and so I decided he didn’t deserve any. I didn’t have any either. 

He went to bed but has been coughing for hours. Finally, he got up around 2:30. I’ve offered him some tea, but he keeps turning me down. Oh well. 

I’ll most likely be posting tomorrow night, but we’re planning to go to Yamagata City for a Costco run on the 2nd so I won’t be here on the 1st. Of course, it all depends on a lot of factors like weather, grandmothers and mothers and whether F and I can stay in the car together.  Come back and see what happens before all that!  Until tomorrow….
