Saturday - Cold and Snowy
I heard F leave this morning, but I didn’t really wake up when he left. I woke up around 10:30 and got up in a cold room. The heater must have turned itself off. Poor me.
I got up, dressed, went downstairs and grabbed my breakfast. I came back upstairs, watched the news and then got dressed up for going outside. I went out and shovelled snow for a while. I cleared off the house steps and also the entrance to the house’s parking space. It took a while and the snow was icy and heavy. Still, I thought I did a good job.
I came into the house and then swept the stairs all the way to the first floor. I do the top bit when K is around, but I did the rest today too. It looked a lot better.
I went upstairs to relax and did so until F came back. He came back a bit after 1 pm. The funeral thing went okay, but he said the priest kept changing his mind about different things! Oh, dear. We had the option to eat the bentos he brought back or go out, so we went out. We went to Kintaro Sushi and had some nice sushi and miso soup. After that, we went shopping!
We went to a grocery store and I picked up some yummy stuff for our Christmas dinner. We went over to the MaxValu area and ordered a cooked chicken from a restaurant. Then, we went to the coffee shop and had a cake set each.
After a while, we left and went to the nearby bakery. F has spoken for years about having a Japanese Christmas cake and I’ve always talked him out of it because I have Christmas Pudding and Mincemeat tarts. Unfortunately, I can’t get them this year, so I told F that we could get a cake his style! We ordered one, a chocolate cake, which he’ll pick up on his way back from work on Friday.
We visited Yamaya and Daiso too. I got a few pretty napkins for Christmas dinner and some paper plates so I don’t have to do quite as many dishes on Christmas day.
We came back to the house after that. We’d been out quite a while. F wanted to eat right away, so he ate a bunch out of one of the bentos. I let him have the kitchen and when he had done I went downstairs and did my dinner. I had a couple of pieces of toast and some of the leftover taco meat. I had it with some tortilla chips.
I watched the end of Suicide Squad and then Harley Quinn after that. I enjoyed the second one, even though I’ve seen it 3 times now.
F went to bed. I made the executive decision not to take a shower. It’s really cold and it’ll be marginally warmer tomorrow night. It was actually colder here in Tsuruoka than it was in Edmonton at one time!
I went downstairs and washed my dishes and made some cold tea for tomorrow. I came back upstairs and watched Bull. It was a good episode.
And that really is my day. I have no idea what we’ll get up to tomorrow. I’d like to do a little shopping or maybe go to the museum, I’m not sure.
Come back later if you like and hear about my day. Until tomorrow….
