Thursday - Rainy and cold
I didn’t manage to get to bed early last night. I was rather disappointed about that. F woke up around the time I was going to bed, and K made a toilet run. I didn’t want to run into her at that time of the morning, so I waited until she was back in bed!
This morning my alarm woke me up and I went downstairs. I came back and watched the news from the bed. I was able to stay in bed for quite a while this morning. That was nice. When I got up I did a load of laundry and then came back upstairs with my breakfast.
I had a good morning, watched some YouTube and the early morning news. I eventually went down for my lunch, brought it back up and watched a bit of TV off the DVR. I had a very quiet afternoon, to be honest.
F texted me to say he’d be late tonight as he had to go and drive to a place that he would have to drive to tomorrow. He thought he’d be late.
F called me later around 6 to say that he was going to just go driving now and he thought it would be an hour and a half before he’d come back. I reminded him that HE was cooking tonight and that his mother might want to eat soon. He decided to come back right away and cook and then go driving afterwards. I told him I’d go with him if he wanted me to.
I went downstairs and washed my dishes from today, emptied the dish drainer, washed the nabe pan and got out the spoons that we use. Then, I went back upstairs.
When F came back to the house, he didn’t even come upstairs, he just started prep. I went down to talk to him a few minutes later. He was fine, just busy.
He got things out on the table and I set out a few things on the table too. I was much nicer to his meal prep than he is to me. I brought a lot of things out to the living room and brought out the drinks as well. Yay for me.
We had F’s nabe. It was okay. The soup was slightly better than normal but still wasn’t up for me. I added some sriracha to my bowl and that helped a lot. When we finished eating, F left the table. I was rather miffed because I don’t get any help when I cook. Still, I cleared the table and put the leftovers away in the fridge. I hung around for a bit and then thought that I would do the dishes after all so that we could leave fairly soon. However, F did come back and I left him to it. He had so much more help than he gives me these days.
I came upstairs, got ready for going out, and when F was done, we went for a drive. It was rather nice. I did almost fall asleep a couple of times but didn’t really. F found his place in the middle of nowhere and we saw a tanuki too. Well, F saw him, I just glimpsed a white thing in the dark!
On the way back into Tsuruoka, F asked if there was a place we could go for a drink or some ramen. I suggested Komeda Coffee, and that is where we ended up. For a change, I wanted to have some cocoa, so I did. F had decaf coffee. We spent about an hour in the coffee shop and it was nice to just be out of the house for a bit.
We came back to the house and relaxed a little longer. I watched some YouTube while F filled out the medical forms for our flu shots on the weekend. It was rather fun answering some of the questions that he asked me, particularly since they didn’t make any sense. He’d used Google Translate and some of the translations didn’t make sense! The big one that he asked me was did I suffer from attracting syndrome….or something like that. I told him it wasn’t a thing! He meant something to do with convulsions, but happily, I haven’t had that problem.
He’s off to bed now, although I’m not sure if he’s sleeping or not.
Well, that’s it for me for now. I’d like to get to bed right away, so I’m going to end this. Come back a bit later and hear what happens on Friday. Until tomorrow….
