Friday - Warmer and partly cloudy

I went to bed quite late last night so getting up this morning was a tad hard. I got up, but did that thing where I went back to bed for a few minutes to watch the news. That crept into a couple of hours before I got myself sorted.

However, when I got up I did a couple of loads of laundry and hung them up. I looked at my lesson plan for today to make sure it was okay and thought about doing more for next week, but decided to wait on that. Monday’s class is already planned and Tuesday’s shouldn’t be difficult so there’s that.

I went down to get my lunch a little late and K was in the kitchen. Sigh. I just left because being in the kitchen at the same time as her is hard on me. I get very frustrated. I came back later and got stuff out for lunch. She popped in to wash her miso soup bowl. I saw her use the dish sponge to wipe the sink area and then she immediately used it to wash her bowl. If there had been even a token rinse it wouldn’t have been so skeevy, but yuck. This is why I don’t want her help with dishes and such. Old ways don’t mesh too well with me I’m afraid. I also wasn’t too pleased with her using the dish sponge to wipe down the sink!

Oh, and she’s put the grill back in the stove. That worries me. I now hide the bread upstairs in my room, but she may try other things. 

Around 5:30 I got dressed and then went downstairs to wait for the taxi. F had called to say he was finished work and was on his way back. I told him that I would see him later. Once again, the taxi got here before he did. He said later that he was back at the house before 6, well, I left at ten to, or thereabouts.

As usual, not talking about work except to say that things went well tonight. I was well prepared, and the students were great.

When I finished, I noticed F’s car waiting outside. Wow, he was early! I turned in my paperwork and was surprised that F had come in the building! As he escorted me to the car he said that he’d taken his mother to the onsen and since she took so long in the onsen, he hadn’t been able to take her back to the house. They also hadn’t eaten. 

We decided to go to Gusto, the three of us. It was fairly busy tonight, but we got a table right away. Twice in one week, lucky F and me! I had a variation of what I had last time, another hamburg, this time with “stew” on top of it. K had a hamburg too, but hers had an egg on it, while F had yakisoba. I ordered a plate of fries because both K and I like them, plus F got K some rice and miso soup, plus drink bar. Actually there was drink bar all round. 

The fries were good, and were really nice dipped in the gravy on my plate! F said he liked his yakisoba, but I’m sure he’ll change his mind in the morning. K ate all her food, but gave F most of her rice. She didn’t really want the set that F ordered for her. He never remembers that she doesn’t eat a lot sometimes.

We came back to the house after the meal. We went our separate ways. I took a shower, F fell asleep on the bed. I tried to wake him up to take off his jeans, he looked at me sleepily and fell back asleep! I watched The Good Wife and did a little crochet. My blanket is still wide enough, but I don’t think I’m going to have enough yarn to make it long enough. Oh dear. What should I do?

I have no idea what we’ll get up to tomorrow. I’d like to go to the museum if we have the chance, but really anything is okay.

Come back later if you will and hear all about my day. I hope it won’t be this boring! Until tomorrow….
