 Thursday - Rainy then clearing, cold at night


I woke up without any alarms this morning. I probably wouldn’t have woken up when I did if F hadn’t come back into the room and into bed. He said that he had tried to take his mother to the doctor, but the doctor was closed today. Of course he was. 


We went out fairly soon after noon. F asked where I’d like to go so I suggested Arpeggio as I knew it was open today. We went there and had a nice lunch. I had soboro and F had the ten plate lunch. 


After lunch we went to S-Mall. I wanted to go to the hundred yen shop.  We went there, I got some stuff and then F and I tried to go to Doutor. Unfortunately, it was really busy, as was the whole mall today, so we just decided to leave the mall. I suggested that we go to the grocery store and get a bento for K for later in the day. He liked the idea so off we went. We did stop once at a bakery, but they were sold out of most of their goods, so we left without buying anything.


At the grocery store, F picked up a few things for tomorrow and a bento for his mother. We picked up some kind of cool things for us, like a pizza and some nikuman.  We can enjoy those either tomorrow or on New Years Day. F got himself some beer, and I got a sparkling water for mixing my drink. 


We came back to the house and relaxed for about an hour.  I made us some tea or cafe mocha and we just enjoyed being at the house. Finally, we left a bit after 4:30.  Oh, before we left, F gave K her bento. We wanted to make sure that she would eat something.


We drove out to the mall and then parked. There were a lot of cars outside the mall, but F found us a pretty good parking spot. We went in and bought the movie tickets for The King’s Man.  We used our tickets to get free drinks with our bibinba in the food court. We both had the same one, the pork and kimchee bibinba. I like it a lot as I like spicy food these days. 


I had a hard time getting F to get moving to go to the movie. He seemed confused when I told him we only had ten minutes to buy our popcorn and drinks and do the washroom thing before the movie. He moved like molasses in December getting to the cinema. We did make it though, so that was good. 


The movie was okay. It had some good parts and some things I wasn’t too impressed with. It was nice to see Ralph Fiennes in an action role. In his role in the Bond films, he’s not much for action.  Or… was he in the beginning?


After the movie F kept wanting to go to the grocery store to buy some plates of food for tomorrow, but I got him talked into going to the grocery store TOMORROW to get them. I’m not sure if we were going to eat them tomorrow or on Saturday, so I’d rather have them as fresh as possible. However, I’m sure the grocery store will be a zoo tomorrow. Sigh. 


We came back to the house and just basically relaxed this evening. I caught up on a couple of things on my computer, but F went to bed with his computer. He’s been asleep for a while. 


And really, that’s it for me. I’m not sure what we’ll get up to tomorrow. We may go and get some food, we may go to the temple after midnight, depending on the weather. 


I’m not sure if I will blog tomorrow night! I think it depends on what I get up to during the day and evening. Come back later and see if I do!  Until tomorrow…?
