Friday - Cloudy and cool.
I woke up early this morning only to discover that F was lying in bed next to me with his computer. He’d woken up. I do wonder if he had anything to do with my early waking up! When I came back to bed we snuggled and then when I really woke up he was gone. Poor thing.
I got up and did a few things early. I grabbed my breakfast around 9 am and ate it soon after. I had a relaxing morning, as much as I could. I reviewed my classes, checked that I had all of the paraphernalia that I needed and then around 11 went downstairs to grab my lunch. I came upstairs and ate. Yes, it was early, but I would be away most of the afternoon, so I had to do it.
I left for work a little before 12:30 and got to the place, taught my lessons, etc. Things were fine. The one odd thing is that there was a Fire Drill going on while I was teaching a class! There were sirens and announcements and bells…it was so distracting. I asked the students if we had to leave, but they said that we didn’t. Anyway, things went well and the classes were fairly good.
I came back to the house by taxi about 3 minutes before F did. He’d sent me a text saying he was done, but of course, I had my phone off. I heard him downstairs and went to say hi. He was going to cook dinner for his mother and asked if I wanted some soba. Well, not really. I wished him well with it and came upstairs to relax a bit.
I found out from my friend whose classes I am covering that more of the classes have been cancelled due to the virus. Sigh. That means that I’ll only be teaching on Monday and then probably one more shift near the end of the month. I’m quite sad about it. Less income for me and less English for the students. I understand it of course, but what can I do about it?
After he’d finished eating, we went to Gusto for dinner. I had an okay meal, Chicken Tatsuta with cabbage and drink bar, F had takoyaki which he complained about. We shared an order of fries and they were good. We stayed quite a while at the restaurant, it was fairly quiet tonight. People are staying at home, which is probably a good thing. I was going stir crazy though and there wasn’t much food at the house for me. One new thing about Gusto is they have a new ordering system. You order by a computer screen. They even have buttons to put it in English, so that was nice.
After we finished, we bought some gas for the car. F’s gas light was on…who does that? So crazy. He didn’t buy a lot, but at least the light is off now. He also told me tonight that he’s taking Monday off work. I told him that I have to work that day. He knows and I hope things go okay for us.
We came back to the house and had a quiet evening in. I watched a bit of TV and F did the YouTube thing. I didn’t watch The Walking Dead tonight because I haven’t watched last week’s episodes. And because I think it is a bit scary, but that’s not important right now.
Tomorrow I have a dental appointment in the afternoon and I don’t know what else we’ll get up to. There are a few films out in the cinema right now that I’d love to see or see again, but I’m not sure if it is in the budget or if it is a wise idea to go to the cinema. (Although, going to see an English movie in this area often means it isn’t crowded and we have lots of room around us! At last week’s Marriage Story, we were the only two people in the cinema. )
Come back later if you will and see what happens. Until tomorrow….
