Sunday - Cloudy, then a bit of rain

We didn’t go to bed last night until after it was getting light, so I didn’t set any alarms for the morning. In fact, I’d even turned off my reminder alarm to take medicine but happily did wake up just after it was supposed to go off. I took it and then went back to sleep, after eating a couple of pieces of F’s yummy cranberry and cinnamon bread. 

When I woke up a couple of hours later I had some very PG-snuggles with my husband and then I think I got up. Around 2 I requested that we go out to have something to eat. F said it was fine, but by 3 pm he was still in bed on his computer. I got annoyed, grabbed a couple of pieces of his bread and took them downstairs. I toasted them and added cheese. I tried to give one of them to him, but he wasn’t having any of it. 

We finally went out. It was nearing 4 pm and I hadn’t had a proper meal all day and I didn’t for hours yet. We went over to Yamaya and picked up a few things for the kitchen, and beer for F. At my request, we went to a hundred yen shop, I got a couple of things that I think I needed. We went for coffee and cake at Komeda. I tried their new lemony cake and it was nice. F had their old chocolate one and liked it. We were there for about an hour before we left. 

We went to MaxValu near the coffee shop and looked for things for tomorrow’s dinner and tonight’s dinner. We got something for tomorrow and the two of us looked at bentos. F found something for himself and K, I didn’t find anything appealing. There wasn’t a lot of bentos on offer and I just didn’t see anything I wanted. Normally I’d cobble a couple of things together and be fine, but I couldn’t do it today. I told F I’d look at the freezer section and get something there but he got all huffy and put his bento and the one he’d picked for his mother back. Okay then. In the freezer section, I did see a couple of things that I would have enjoyed, so I really don’t know why he was so odd. Whatever.

On the way back to the house he decided to go to another shop and get his mother a bento there. He did. I got some yogurt that I like there and not too much else. We went back to the house, K got her bento, I unpacked a bunch of stuff and put it away. 
Then, we went out again. 

We first went to Gyomu Supa and checked things out. I got a little junk food as it was very cheap, and some dried vegetables for soup making. F got some cheap noodles so he was happy. I noticed that they had filled up some of the freezers now, so there were actually frozen tortillas. They have smaller, whole wheat ones, which I really like! I didn’t buy them as I have some of the bigger, non-frozen kind and we don’t use them often enough to stock them in our freezer.

We next went to Gusto which is next to the Gyomu Supa and had dinner. It wasn’t too busy. They’ve changed a few things and it was okay really. They don’t have actual menus now, just a tablet to order on. The nice thing for me is I can set it in English. Woot. We both ordered stuff that had discount coupons from our phones, and for some reason (rain) the drink bar was free tonight, so we had that.  The food was okay. F had an omurice and I had chicken and a hamburger, and he didn’t complain about it! I liked mine so I was good. At the drink bar, we weren’t allowed to bring our glasses/cups back for refills, which makes so much sense! They didn’t have a lot of ice out which was sad, but they did refill it after a bit. 

We left and then hit up the grocery store again! We didn’t get too much there, some decaf coffee since F has started using the coffee maker finally, and some Japanese long onions. My main purpose in going there tonight was to get rid of the meat trays that we’ve been collecting around the house. Gone!

We came back to the house and unpacked again. We relaxed a bit and F went to bed. I took a shower and here we are. I think F has finally gone to sleep or at least is trying to sleep. He’s been staying up so late lately. He blames me, but he can go to sleep alone, but he won’t put down his computer. Often times, I go to bed and he’s still watching things on his screen, so I don’t think I can be blamed for that!

No idea what I’ll get up to tomorrow. I should do some laundry, but I hate doing laundry on Monday so you never know. I might go out if the weather is decent. That would be a good thing!  Come back later if you will and see what happens. Until tomorrow….
