Wednesday - Hot and Sunny
I got to bed a bit late last night, which meant that I really didn’t get enough sleep today. Poor me! I got up when my alarm went off, watched the news and even watched the news that I had recorded early on.
Around 9 am I started trying to decide what to wear and change my mind a couple of times! I settled on my black leggings and a light denim shirt. Around 10 I went downstairs and said goodbye to K and then left.
I walked in the very bright sun to the bus stop. I had left early, which I’m glad about. I was there a tad early so I didn’t have to rush today. When the bus came, I boarded and had a pleasant trip out to the mall.
At the mall, the first thing I did was window shop and check out the craft section. After that, I looked at the ladies clothes. Although I liked the shirt I was wearing, I really wanted to have something a little longer on. I checked through the clothing in the ladies department and found a few things I liked. I took them to the changing room and doing the thing where you keep extra clothes outside the room, I tried everything on. I actually could have bought everything today, but didn’t. I got a plain grey long top/dress and the one I ended up wearing today, a navy blue dress with a check pattern on one side and a lace border along the bottom. It was nice AND on sale, so I was sold! I bought the two tops and asked the sales clerk to remove the tags for me. She did it on both, maybe she thought my husband would be angry with me? I just wanted to be able to wear one of them! I went to the washroom and did a quick change and packed away my old shirt in my backpack.
Next up was lunch! I wasn’t sure what to have today but decided to go to the pasta restaurant. They had a lunch set so I had that. I had nama-ham and asparagus pepperoncino which came with a small salad and their drink bar. It was nice.
After lunch, I did a bit more shopping, nothing too special. I did a lot of walking around in the mall and then when it was near the time for my friend to come, went to our meeting place. I didn’t have long to wait. We had a great time together. Rather than going for coffee or tea today, we went to Baskin-Robbins. It was really hot today. We enjoyed ourselves and used the plastic barrier between us to keep socially distant, more or less.
After my friend had to leave, I did a bit more shopping. I walked all over the mall today, I really did. In fact, I walked more than 10,000 steps, which is really unusual for me these days.
I heard from F that he was going to be finishing work late, so decided that I was a bit thirsty and in need of a bit of rest. I went into Doutor and had a sandwich and a glass of ice rooibos tea. I sat in a corner and ate my sandwich, read my book on my phone, and drank my tea. I just relaxed. Closer to 7 pm I left the shop and did a little more looking around. F called and said that he was on the way to the mall. I went to the entrance near where he would arrive and saw him park the car. I went over to the car and dropped my backpack. It was quite heavy.
We came back into the mall and went to the bibinba place and had dinner there in the food court. It was quite good. We both had the kimchi pork bibinba. F added a lot of hot sauce to his, I added a little bit of the sweeter, less hot one.
We ate and enjoyed our food. At least I did! We relaxed for a bit and then went back to Aeon and did some grocery shopping. I had to get stuff for the next couple of nights. I think I managed! Tomorrow we’ll have chicken and Friday probably pasta with sausage.
We drove back to Tsuruoka and to the house. The lights were still on. K was still up. I was worried that she’d be angry because she has the crazy idea that we should be back before 9 or something, and it was a little after. However, she seemed okay. F gave her the bento we bought for her and she ate it quite happily.
I came upstairs and relaxed, I got my water pot going and changed my clothes. A little later I went downstairs and took care of the garbage in the kitchen. I got it all done I think.
I came back upstairs and F came back later too. We had a quiet evening up here, except F took a shower.
So that was my day. It was so great to see my friend and also to have a day out by myself. I do rather wish that I could do that more often but then it wouldn’t be as exciting when I do it!
I’ll probably be a bit too tired tomorrow morning to do much, but you never know. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
