Tuesday - Cloudy and rainy
It was a struggle to get up this morning. I knew that my friend was coming over but I was really tired. I stayed in bed much longer than I should have and it wasn’t until I received a message from her that I got out of bed! I got dressed in something newish and nice and then went down near the time when I thought she’d arrive.
I let K know that I was going to go out with my friend today and she invited me to sit and wait in her room. Since I hadn’t done it the other day, I decided that I would today. Little did I know but my friend was waiting for me outside! We texted each other and I left, after saying goodbye to K.
We had a nice, yummy lunch in Komeda Coffee along with some nice beverages. We had a nice chat and then went off to Mikawa to do a little wishful shopping at a furniture store. For my friend, it was basically planning, but for me it was wishful. I did see a little loveseat/couch that I thought might fit up here in my room if I ever find a place for my clothes! We looked at curtains and beds and I gave her the benefit of my expertise. I’m joking a little but did let her know about some bad points of something she looked at.
After a little while of looking and dreaming, we went over to the mall proper for a drink and more chat. We went to Mr. Donuts and had a drink and a sweet thing. Sadly, she had to go so I walked her over to the door and let her go.
I spent the next while doing some window shopping for clothes. I didn’t buy anything, didn’t even try anything on, but had a nice look through the store. I even visited the yarn section again, but again, didn’t buy anything.
I went all the way along the mall, checked out the hundred yen shop and…didn’t buy anything. I just wasn’t in the mood. It was getting near the time that F would finish work so I wanted to be near a place he could reach easily. I looked through the bedding and kitchen area of the department store. I looked for bedding for our queen-sized bed but didn’t find any. I wonder if we can order it through them? I noted that there were chopsticks on display, not too expensive, but quite nice. I thought I might ask F if he’d like a pair. His usual pair have broken and since I have a fancy pair that I got two years ago, thought he might like a new pair too.
When F came to the mall, we went for a drink to Doutor. I tried their tapioca drink, well one of them. I had the Royal Milk Tea one. It was okay, but I don’t really think I’ll bother again. It is expensive and not really my thing.
While we were relaxing, I asked F what he wanted to do. I had planned to cook dinner tonight but I’d have to start from scratch when I got back to the house. Dinner might be a bit late. He suggested that we eat in the mall and then take his mother something for her dinner. I thought that was an okay idea, so that’s what we did.
We both had bibinba upstairs, the same one for a change. We each had a pork kimchi bibinba and it was really nice. Mine had been made slightly earlier I think since some of my rice was quite crispy!
We ate, bought K some yakisoba and okonomiyaki, and then on the way back to the car, I took F by the chopsticks stand and asked him to pick out a pair that he liked. He did, and I bought them for him. I told him that it was his White Day present! I might give him something else too, but if I’m not out, at least it is a present that he can use.
We came back to the house and F gave K her dinner. He spent a little time with her and I came upstairs and turned on lights and the heater.
We had a quiet night in, but it was nice. I watched some TV, F watched some YouTube and we both took showers.
I was supposed to teach tomorrow, but my classes were cancelled due to the Covid-19 epidemic. I’m quite sad about it as I liked the students, but understand that having a group of students in a small room may not be the best idea at this time.
So, I’m not sure what I’ll get up to. If you are interested, come on back and find out! Until tomorrow….
