Friday - Rainy then sunny in the afternoon

I woke up very early today and then fell back asleep. I didn’t hear F leave, and I woke up a bit later.  I managed to watch the news and then I watched ER, the final episode. It was really good. I have so enjoyed having something excellent to watch when I first get up in the morning. They’ll be putting Bones on next. I like Bones, but the later episodes weren’t as good as the beginning ones.

I did a load of laundry in the morning and hung things up in my room to dry. I was supposed to do some of my sashiko but didn’t, I was supposed to do some Postcrossing but didn’t. Sigh. Oh well. 

I went downstairs to grab lunch and since it was mostly leftovers decided to share them with K. I was a little worried that she wasn’t eating.  There is a lot of food for her in the fridge, but she hadn’t taken it out or cooked it at all. Hmm.  Anyway, I gave her some of last night’s pasta mixed with a bit more sauce and some of Monday’s leftovers chopped up and heated. I also made us each a slice of cheese toast with my lovely Havarti. Yum. 

When F came back from work we talked about what to do for dinner. We hadn’t bought groceries last night and I didn’t really want to cook tonight. I suggested either bento or going to a restaurant. I rattled off a few suggestions and F picked Youme Shokudo near the post office. We invited his mother and soon enough we were off.

We went to the restaurant which was very nearly empty tonight and had a nice meal. K had her mackerel, F had Chicken Namban which is what I usually order, and I had a mapo-vegetable combo. I enjoyed mine a lot, it wasn’t as spicy as mapo-dofu usually is. 

We brought K back to the house because she wasn’t feeling well and F and I went to Starbucks. I really wanted one of their cold-brewed coffees with lime. F had it too tonight, but I don’t think he liked it. He told me he thought it was tea?! Of course, F sucked up all the wifi and wouldn’t leave until after 10 pm. Sigh.  

We bought a few groceries for K for tomorrow. F and I are planning a quick trip to Costco tomorrow, so if we go, we need to make sure that she has something to eat. Since she’s a little under the weather, we bought a few things that might tempt her appetite.  I suggested Chawan-mushi, also F picked up some tofu and some bean thing she likes.  We also got her a noodle dish for her lunch or dinner.  F is making bread overnight too, so there’ll be something nice and soft for her.  

Having said all of this, I may not be able to update tomorrow. It depends entirely on how I feel when we get back to the house and what kind of day we have had! There is supposed to be bad weather in the afternoon too, so that could be a downer. 

So, if I’m not here tomorrow, don’t worry too much. Come back later and see what happens. Until tomorrow?
