Friday - Rainy, slightly warmer.
Well, yesterday ended badly if you remember, today started okay. When I woke up in the morning I talked to F, he talked to me, things were fine.
He invited me out for lunch and I went. It was to his favourite fish restaurant in Tsuruoka, we got a decent room, one with table and chairs so I was fine there. I don’t really like their lunch specials but always feel I have to order them since the things I prefer are quite expensive!
Over lunch, I asked F to check a FB update from a restaurant I like to see if I was right that they are closing. He told me I was. Then, I told him that he must be happy about it. He asked me why and I reminded him that he hated the restaurant and never wanted to go there. He got angry at me. In retrospect, it wasn’t a great thing for me to say, but I do think it was true. He doesn’t like it when I accuse him of “hating” something because he thinks it is childish. It may be, but I have a lot of strong feelings about things and he doesn’t respect them at all. He told me that he wished I wasn’t there anymore and the rest of our meal was in silence.
He ran a couple of errands after lunch and then we went back to the house. I had received a notice to renew my My Number card before my birthday and I had asked him to take me to City Hall “someday” before then. He wanted to go immediately. I was not really sure about it because 1) we usually fight at city hall and 2) it can be really crowded and takes forever. I had a hair appointment at 4:30 and I didn’t want to be late for it.
We did go to City Hall and wonder of wonders…it wasn’t busy, we didn’t fight and it took about 10 minutes to do everything! Woot.
I needed a drink, so F suggested finding a new cafe we’d read about. We tried to find it, but didn’t. I then suggested going to Doutor in the mall. We did that and we both had drinks. I had a hot rooibos tea, F had coffee.
Around 5:20 we left the mall and F drove me to my hairdresser’s salon. I did offer to walk as it was only a couple of blocks, but it was raining so I’m glad I didn’t. I went in, and while she did have a customer at the time, after she left, we were basically alone in the shop. We both kept our masks on, although I had to hold mine on when she cut my hair around my ears! I got my hair cut very short again and I love it.
F picked me up at the shop an hour later and we went back to the house. It was dark. It was only 5:30 or so, much too early in my opinion to go to bed! F checked on his mother to see if she wanted dinner, but she didn’t. We went upstairs for a bit.
Sensing that things were much better between us, I asked F if he’d like to go to the late movie at the mall in Mikawa and he said he would. We decided to eat in the mall too if things were open.
We drove out there and got our movie tickets first. That meant we could get free drinks with our bibinbas. Yay. We both had the pork one with kimchi. I really liked mine, F not so much. During our meal, he got a call from his uncle and found out that the funeral ceremony he thought was on Sunday was actually on Saturday, or tomorrow! Oops. He’ll have to leave early in the morning with his mother to go.
We went to see WW84 or Wonder Woman 1984 as I think it is called. I really enjoyed it! I don’t want to give out any spoilers, but I thought they got the era well, without hitting anyone over the head with the fact that it was the 80’s. The story worked for me and I liked everything up until the big fight near the end. It was done in the dark and it was really hard to see who was doing what to whom. Still, it was a small beef for me, but overall, a good film.
We drove back to Tsuruoka and the house. We came upstairs. F went to bed quite soon, and I went on my computer then remembered my TV programs are on tonight and watched them.
I’m not sure what the daily plan will be for tomorrow. F and K have the funeral ceremony in the morning, not sure how long that will go. I’ll be here at the house and might have some time to do personal stuff, at least I hope so.
We ended the evening in a much better place than the middle of the day, so that’s a good thing.
It makes me a bit sad to say that last year on this day I was on my way back to Canada. I’m not even sure when I can go back to Canada next, so I’m feeling a tad weepy/emotional about it. Sigh.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
