Sunday - Cold and a little icy


I went to bed super late last night, so I slept in today. F did too. However, he had an appointment at 2 pm, so we roused ourselves. F made lunch for his mother and then we went out.


F had asked me if I’d like to go and have unagi today, and I was okay with that. We went to an unagi restaurant in Tsuruoka. We were the only customers, probably because unagi is really expensive! We had the cheapest version of their unagi and it was 3000 yen each. Yikes. I have expected F to try and sneak out the back. Not really, but it was expensive. I liked it, F not so much. 


After lunch, F dropped me off at S-Mall and he went off to his massage appointment. I went into the mall and did a little “window” shopping. There aren’t many windows in the mall really, so I just looked around. I didn’t buy anything at the hundred yen shop, but did get a few things at the grocery store, both for now and for my trip. I went to Doutors again after a while to have a drink and just relax. Unfortunately, it was quite busy in there, so it wasn’t good for social distancing. On way in the shop, I picked up a box of drip decaf coffee, ordered my drink and grabbed a cookie packet. I found a corner seat and drank and read my book for a little. F finally called me and wanted to meet me. I said that I was done and would like to leave the mall. When he arrived at the mall, he parked instead of just picking me up. I walked over to the car and he was a little annoyed since he said he wanted a drink. I suggested going somewhere else.


We drove over to Komeda coffee and went in. We had to wait a few minutes before getting a table, but soon enough we were in. We each had a cake set and really enjoyed it. They’ve just changed their cakes again so I had a chocola-raspberry and F had a custard one. They were both very nice. After a bit, we went over to the grocery store and bought stuff for the next couple of days. I offered to make curry on Tuesday so that F doesn’t have to make dinner on Wednesday.  I won’t be here, and he has work on Wednesday, so it’ll be a help for him. All he will have to do is warm it up and do some rice. Easy!


We came back to the house with our groceries. F asked his mother if she’d like to come out for dinner with us, and she would. I put the groceries away with F’s hindrance! He tried to give me two hand’s worth of groceries to put away at once. He’s mean sometimes!


K was up for an outing, so we bundled in the car and went to Cocos for dinner. We had a coupon for the drink bar and K and F had something that the app had a coupon for, so I used my app coupon for one of them. My food didn’t have a coupon though. I had a spicy Caribbean chicken dish with purple rice and salad that was quite good. We brought K back to the house and then F and I went out again to grab some kerosene for the house and as F passed the gas station, a few extra groceries! It wasn’t all me, F bought himself a few more things then we left the grocery store.


F filled up the kerosene tanks at the gas station and then we came back to the house. I put the extra groceries away and he dealt with the tanks. We came upstairs and relaxed.  


F had to go to bed because he has work, but he did get up for a while. I think he finds it hard to sleep on Sunday nights. He’s finally sleeping now. 


Tomorrow I have to start packing a suitcase and just generally get my head around getting ready to leave. I may do a postcrossing if I have any time, or I might work on my blanket. You’ll just have to come back later and find out what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
