Saturday - Hot and sunny
There was a big mish-mash of things going on today. F and I started the day rather badly. He ran off to the onsen this morning with his mother. I woke up in an empty house and had no idea he was gone.
When he came back I really didn’t want to see him! Actually, seeing him was fine, it was hearing him that annoyed me. It didn’t make any sense, but he does this thing where he asks me to spell things for his social media posts, he never asks if it is a bad or good time…just will ask “How do you spell …..?” in the middle of whatever. I could be on the phone and he’d still ask. He whined about breakfast, but last night we’d planned not to go out, so I didn’t know what he wanted.
Finally, we got ready to go to the doctor’s office. Things went fine there, but as usual, we had to wait an hour just to be seen for 3 minutes. We got prescriptions afterwards too.
We visited a Farmer’s Market shop and I bought a spaghetti squash, some carrots and F bought a melon. He also got a bento for K, so he delivered it to her. Then, we were off to lunch.
We went to the place on Ginza-dori that we went to last week, Arpeggio. It was nice today, but I wouldn’t say it was great. I had oyakodon and it was okay. Not planning to have it there again. F had tonkatsu and it looked nice. Towards the end, a family with a couple of noisy kids came in and rather spoilt the quiet atmosphere. We had planned to have dessert but changed our minds.
We planned to see a movie later on and then I suggested going to see a shop that sells larger sized clothing. F obliged me and we went for a look. I did okay there. I got a new summery T-Shirt, a camisole with a built-in bra and a pair of shorts. I’ve been roasting up here this summer.
We had a fast drink in Doutor and then zoomed off to the cinema to see The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir. It was light entertainment but did have a few charms. I didn’t love it, but I liked it.
As it was after 6 pm we had to get a bento for K’s dinner. We also picked up our insulated bag and a small thermos at the grocery store. We had to save stickers to get them at a reduced price and tomorrow is the last day for them.
We delivered the bento and then we went off for dinner. F did this thing where he wants me to pick the place, but he vetoes everything that I like. I told him I didn’t feel like Japanese food as I’ve had a lot of it lately. He said that both Indian and Thai upset his stomach. He finally told me to just pick a place, which I did. It is a little restaurant just behind City Hall. I like it a lot. We went and had a good meal in my opinion. F didn’t like it. He complained to me afterwards about his meal. It really annoyed me, to be honest. I’m trying really hard to be supportive of his diet needs, but he keeps being a jerk about it.
After our meal, we just drove back to the house. Sigh. We planned to watch something from the DVR together, but F went downstairs and got waylaid by a call from his uncle. He was gone for a long time.
When he came back upstairs we watched a couple of episodes of The Good Doctor and enjoyed them. I did some crochet and got a few rows done on my shawl. It’s really pretty!
We’ve had to have the AC on all evening. I didn’t have it on very strong and F complained, but when he left the room to go downstairs, really understood the difference when he came back. I always think that it is too big of a difference when the AC is cranked to 24 and the temperature outside the room is over 30. But what do I know?
Not sure what we’ll get up to tomorrow. F has to do community stuff and then hopefully we’ll be able to have some fun or some interesting times. Come back later and see what happens. Until tomorrow….
