Thursday - Sunny but cool
I did wake up early this morning, but I can’t really blame F for that today. He was up around 7 am and I woke up then too. I made a trip downstairs and then came back upstairs and went back to bed. I overslept again, but not quite as late as yesterday. Probably.
I got up and did a couple of loads of laundry. I got some shirts washed, most of which I’d worn last week on my trip. I thought I should have something clean for Golden Week! I also had breakfast and read my blog for yesterday.
In the afternoon I grabbed my lunch and then I watched a couple of shows off the DVR. I also worked on my column and got it finished. Woot. After the news, I listened to my column and made a few last-minute changes. F called to say that he was on his way back so I went downstairs and started to get ready for making dinner.
During the day, I had watched a YouTube video on making a spinach side dish flavoured with sesame paste and I realized I could do something similar. I followed part of the person’s instructions and I soon had a bag of spinach cooked and drained and squeezed out. I added some sesame paste from the fridge and mixed it all up. It was nice! It did get good reviews too, so that was good.
It took F more than an hour to get back to the house, I was rather worried about him. He’d stopped somewhere along the way.
Anyway, he did get back and I kicked dinner up into higher gear. We had pork chops and salad, sesame spinach and a spicy pilaf. That was one of the weirdest things we’ve bought. F wanted to buy it because it was mega-spicy or something, but it was TOO spicy for me and K. F didn’t like it much either. The second time and also tonight when I made it, I mixed it with regular rice. That made it slightly better. To make matters worse, when we bought it, F bought two packages of the stuff. Why oh why? If it was a product we already knew then it wouldn’t have been a problem, but to get something so awful and get two of them…argh.
After we finished eating I watched the news for a bit. F announced that he needed to go to the onsen so I sent him and K off to the local one. They left and I did the dishes. No, Cinderella, there is no onsen for you. It’s okay, I don’t want to go to the onsen with K around!
After finishing the dishes, I came upstairs, did one final pass through my column and then sent it to the Journal Editor. Woot. Done.
F and K came back around 9 pm and F came upstairs. A few minutes later K called him downstairs. She can’t hear us when we say that we’re coming, so she stands at the bottom of the stairs and just keeps repeating his name until he goes down. He doesn’t always hear her, I usually do, so I send him down! She has misplaced something. I swear, like mother, like son!
F did offer to take me out if I wanted, but he made it quite clear that HE didn’t want to go out, so I declined his offer. He fell asleep fairly soon after this. I’m still up, obviously!
Tomorrow F is planning to go to the doctor. He swears the doctor is open. I’m skeptical since it is a national holiday, but he has been correct before! He also made an appointment to meet his insurance person and then hopefully we can go and have lunch together. K is going out with her daughter tomorrow, so we get a bit of a break!
I’m not sure what we’re going to do for the rest of the day. You’ll just have to come on back and find out!
Until tomorrow….
