Monday - Rainy

I woke up this morning when my alarm rang. I went downstairs then took to my bed to watch the news. Of course, I fell asleep at the end, but my second alarm woke me up. 

I really just had a quiet day today. Before I grabbed my lunch, I prepared the marinade for the meat and put it back in the fridge. I also set the heater for later.

I had a quiet afternoon. I discovered that the person I sent my crafts to had received them, she just didn’t know that she did. She was out when they arrived and they were sitting under her Christmas tree. Yay. She liked them so an even bigger yay.

I watched the first half or so of Terminator 2 today. It was good and actually holds up rather well. Linda Hamilton was really muscular in those days, of course, I know she prepped for the part but it was amazing. 

I went downstairs to start dinner after F phoned me. The kitchen was warm, but it also was a warmer day than we’ve had lately. I got busy and made a whole lot of food. There was one bad thing though, K must have given away one of the bunches of spinach that we were given. I had earmarked it for dinner, but it was gone. I was quite upset, but there wasn’t anything I could do about it. She’d also made miso soup with daikon in it. I really didn’t want that for dinner, but I had some anyway.

So, in the end we had garlic pork, spinach, mushroom and bacon stir-fry, steamed carrots, salad, and miso soup. I prepared rice for both K and F. When I called F for dinner, he decided not to come down. He said he had a stomach ache and couldn’t eat. What he really meant was he didn’t want to eat the food I prepared and would rather eat crap ramen later. 

K and I ate a lot of the food. I left her a small plate for tomorrow’s lunch and then did the dishes. It took a while because I was tired and I didn’t want to go near F. I was afraid we’d have a fight. 

I did the dishes and then said goodnight to K. I came upstairs and went to my little corner of the room and turned on the lights. It did look like F was sleeping since he had no lights on, the covers were up and over his head and he wasn’t moving or using his computer.  Half an hour later guess who went downstairs to get food?

I had a quiet evening. I watched a little bit of YouTube and then worked on a craft project. 

I guess, like a lot of people, I’m feeling a bit let down this time of year. Last year I was getting ready to go and see my family, this year we aren’t even exchanging presents. I dislike Christmas in Japan a lot. There’s no meaning to it here and it turns into a huge amount of work for me just to have a good time of it. 

Wah wah wah. I’ll snap out of it. Hopefully.

Tomorrow I don’t have too much planned, but I do plan to make dinner again. If F plans not to eat, I hope he tells me before I prepare things because I find it really mean of him not to warn me that he won’t be there. 

Come back later if you want and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
