 Friday - Rainy and cooler


I woke up this morning with my alarm and the sounds of the men working on the house next door. That was quite the theme today.


I got up, did my usual trip downstairs and then watched the news from the bed. I also watched the early, early rice.  I did take a little nap but managed to get up before I have been lately. I took my laundry downstairs and put it in the washing machine. I grabbed my breakfast and then brought it upstairs. I took down my laundry and put it on the bed. After I ate breakfast I hung up the fresh laundry. 


I had a quiet afternoon. For the first time in ages, I wasn’t too hot. I didn’t need to run the air conditioner at all today. Hurray. It didn’t get above 28 degrees in our room today.


I went down to get my lunch and F called to say that he was coming back to the house for a minute.  I was getting my lunch ready when he arrived. It was nice to see him. He couldn’t stay very long.


I went upstairs and ate. I watched an episode of The Mentalist and then watched the news.  I was tired from hearing building noise all day. Every time I left my bedroom, I could see guys on the roof or on the second floor of the new house. If they looked up, they could see me! 


F called to say that he’d be on his way soon, and I reminded him that he should pick up his suit on the way back. He did. 


Meanwhile, I was starting to get ready for dinner but I realized I wasn’t feeling all that great. F arrived and did his usual thing of telling me about his day and not asking me about mine. I had been planning to cook some corn on the cob tonight, but it didn’t fit in my pans.  I was going to do it in the microwave and then I tried to turn on the kitchen light. It didn’t work. There’s something wrong with the switch. It was too much. I went upstairs and told F that I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to eat.  He said that he’d cook dinner for his mother so I went back downstairs and cleared up my stuff. I let F know that there was salad and also some hamburgers in the fridge that he could make for her if he wanted. 


I went upstairs and went to bed. I took a nap for a while. I went downstairs briefly and then came upstairs again. I relaxed for a while. I did feel a bit better.  F came upstairs again when he was finished.  


I felt a bit better. I had a cup-pasta thing and that was nice. I watched an episode of The Boys and then went downstairs and took a shower.


When I came back upstairs I watched Severance and turned off the TV. F has been snoozing and is in bed I think. I’m going to go to bed soon. 


This is a long weekend here in Japan, and we have no plans. I am afraid I tell you. When we have no plans, arguments happen. I did mention going to see a movie again and F didn’t seem too upset (there aren’t any new ones in English). I also have suggested driving into the next prefecture and going to one of the fancy roadside stops with good restaurants. He liked that idea, but I’m not sure if we’ll really do it or not.


Anyway, that’s it for me. Come back later if you like and hear all about my Saturday. Until tomorrow….
