Thursday - Cloudy with bits of rain
I woke up this morning, made my trip downstairs and then got back into bed to watch the news in warmth!
I got up again around 10:30 and grabbed breakfast. The bus that I had planned to take came at 12:01. I wasn’t sure if I could or even wanted to catch that bus. A little time on Google Maps told me that another bus, going in another direction would get me to the mall an hour or so later. Plus, this would be a new-for-me bus route and that is a good thing! Stretch my boundaries and find a different area I can get to on my own. Woot.
I decided to go for it. I got dressed, went downstairs and told K that I was going to S-Mall and left the house. I got to the bus stop a couple of minutes before the bus and I got a seat in the back. It was a busier route than the one I usually take and it was quite cool to see the various twists and turns. I did see a part of Tsuruoka that I haven’t visited before and I found a way to the MaxValu area that I can get to by myself. Yay for that!
I got off at the mall. I was the last person on the bus! I went into the mall and started looking around. Unfortunately, the restaurant I was thinking of having lunch at was booked today, so I had a pizza at Pizza Hut. It was okay. It was a Bul-go-gi pizza but wasn’t spicy in my opinion. I enjoyed it though.
After lunch, I did a little shopping and picked up a present for F’s birthday and a present for me for being such a nice person! I did some other shopping too, I bought a few things at the hundred yen shop, and had an ice cream downstairs at the Baskin Robbins. I tried two new flavours, white tiramisu and pistachio scream. I liked them both and they went well together.
I grabbed a couple of things from the grocery store and then went to Doutor for a decaf iced coffee. F called me a couple of times while I was there. F said that he would finish work a bit late. I did think about catching a bus back to the house, but he asked me not to do that. When he finished work and arrived at the mall, he didn’t want to stop and have a drink. Oh well.
We hit up the grocery store for a few things for dinner and then went back to the house. I changed quickly and then I started to heat up the leftover curry. We noticed during that time that we hadn’t bought any rice, so we could only have one serving of rice each. Oops.
It took a bit of time, but I finally got the curry heated up and ready to serve. We had the curry with salad, rice, a vegetable croquette each and then some dessert. We picked up a packet of Annen dofu at the store today. It wasn’t great, but it was okay.
I did the dishes after dinner and a little while after that, F and I went to the store for a few things. Of course, we left with a basketful of things, but we did get the necessities.
When we got back to the house, I filled up the kerosene tank in our heater up here and then started up the heater. It was cold but has heated up quite nicely.
Tomorrow I’m going to do a huge amount of laundry because I haven’t done any all week. Bad me! I’m also going to cook dinner, pasta again, but I think it’ll be nice.
Come back later if you will and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
