Tuesday - Cloudy with a little rain

We both slept in this morning, but F was up before me today. He decided to take his mother to the onsen, which was fine with me! They left and I took care of a couple of personal chores including having breakfast!

When F came back we went out soon after with a mission. F wanted to take his phone to the mall’s iPhone Doctor. He hasn’t been able to get it to work for a few days, and he’s tried a lot of things. What he didn’t try, I did! 

We put it in and went to eat.  We went to the new fish restaurant on the second floor. I think our meal was fine, F wasn’t quite as happy with it as I was. During the meal, the iPhone Doctor called and said that he couldn’t fix the phone. Oh no! What to do?

I sent F off to pick up the phone and then I went to the hundred yen shop.  I picked up a couple of things and we paid and left.  We had a drink in Doutors and planned what to do. F decided to bite the bullet and get a new phone. 

We drove to the shop where we got our phones and F spent the next hour and a half getting his new phone. He has a nice new shiny one. 

We came back to the house via the grocery store to pick up a few things. K had decided to cook today and she made some tonjiro or pork stew.  We came back to the house and ate. I wasn’t really into the stew, to be honest. It wasn’t bad, just not what I wanted. I’d already had a lot of Japanese food today, didn’t want any more. I had decided that I would NOT be washing the dishes tonight. I often have to cook and do all the clean up…no blooming way was I doing it alone tonight.  I waited to clear the table until F was ready. He washed, I dried and we were done. He was in a foul mood too.

I came upstairs after I was done and he was already in bed wrapped up like a burrito. I reminded him we had to go and get food and he said he couldn’t. I suggested he take a nap for a while and then see how he felt later.  He did.

Just before 9, I went downstairs for a minute and when I came back, F was getting up. He said he’d go now. We left in the car but didn’t go the usual way. F changed direction a couple of times so finally I asked him where he was going. To Don Quihote in Mikawa! What?  He wanted a case for his new phone and might be able to get one there.  We went and found a few good things to pick up! F even did get a case for his phone. 

We came back to Tsuruoka, got some groceries and then some gas for the car and came back to the house. 

I took a shower and watched The Handmaid’s Tale which is getting quite…hard to watch in places. It’s really well done though.

And that’s about it. F is still up, he can’t sleep or something. I think he’s just not feeling well, poor thing.  


Tomorrow I hope I’ll be able to catch up on some of my column writing and do a little laundry or something.  Come back later if you like and see what happens. Until tomorrow….
