Living La Vida Loca In Japan: December 14, 2021

Tuesday - Sunny and warm. Gorgeous day!

I woke up early today, I’m not really sure why! I made a quick trip downstairs and then went back to sleep. I did have a bit of a hard time waking up, but I finally did drag myself out of bed and got dressed.

I had a quiet morning, but I didn’t get a lot done. I watched the news that I taped early on, I read my blog and then I went downstairs to get my lunch. K was up today, surprise, surprise. I offered her some of the leftover pasta. There was a lot, so I had some too. She did offer me an apple, but I turned her down. I just don’t do fruit.

I went upstairs to eat my food and then downstairs afterwards to brush my teeth and prepare my water bottle. I came back upstairs, got dressed and then went downstairs again. K was outside doing something and as she came in, she muttered something about a “karuma” which means car. I asked her if she meant my taxi. I shuffled over to the door to look out and there was my taxi waiting! Today it was five minutes early, last week it was ten minutes late! I greatly prefer the early version!

Work was work and it was good today. When it was over, I got my taxi back here and then came upstairs and relaxed for a few minutes.

F called me and said he was on his way back so I eventually went downstairs and got started on dinner. Tonight I roasted a half chicken in the air fryer, made some guacamole, sautéed some mushrooms too. I was quite a busy person.

I got dinner on the table a little after 7 and it was quite nice. F came downstairs and carried a few things to the table for me. However, he just kept getting in my way! He decided to try and check out why the door was sticking rather than opening the door to let me put things on the table. I was a bit annoyed.

Dinner was good and happily, there were some leftovers. I’m planning to use them for tomorrow night’s dinner. Yay me.

After dinner, I did the dishes, listening to my podcasts. I went upstairs when I finished.

F and I went out to get our shopping. He knew that we needed kerosene but he forgot to bring the tanks! We got our food and stuff at the store and even stopped at a convenience store to pick up some nengajo.

When we got back to the house, I took the shopping into the house and put it away. F went off to get the kerosene and brought it back to the house.

I came upstairs and started to relax. He came back and we just had a quiet evening in the house. I watched Prodigal Son and then turned off the TV.

That’s about it for me for tonight. It’s been a pretty good day for a change.

And….before we go our separate ways, here is today’s Advent Calendar picture. Enjoy!
