Saturday - Rainy and drizzly
Today was an okay day. I got up a bit after my alarm went off and I got dressed. I read my blog and then around 11, F and I left for the doctor’s office. We had our usual time there, grabbed medicine and then went for lunch. F had asked that we go to a soba restaurant. I was okay with that.
When we got to the restaurant, I was surprised to see that it was a place that I had bicycled by a few times when I lived over at the old apartment. I had always wondered about the restaurant, but never went.
We went in. F grabbed the menu and ordered right away. I hadn’t even seen the menu…I didn’t really want soba, so how would I know what to order? I ended up getting a regular order of soba with a side of tempura chicken. F, on the other hand, ordered himself a mountain of soba. He said it was something like 700 grams of soba. I don’t know if that was before or after cooking though. It was huge. He also had a little tempura with his. It was ordinary soba, not all that great. I ate it, but honestly, the slurping going on around me was a huge turn off. F had planned a massage for himself for 2:20 and he ate such a big amount of food. I thought he was nuts.
After we left the restaurant, he wanted to go back to the house. Again, crazy. He had 40 minutes before his massage and he wanted to go across town and then come back to the nearby mall, drop me off and then go on in another direction to get his massage. I suggested just going to the mall if he had to go.
We drove to the mall, taking the “scenic route” and couldn’t find a place to park. F ended up on the roof parking. I thought he was crazy to be honest. He had to climb down a lot of steps and then when he was finished in the mall, he had to climb back up. He’s on crutches. Honestly, he doesn’t take care of himself.
After a few minutes he left for his massage and I did a little shopping and window shopping. I looked at the new Tokai. It looked great, but I’m not sure it’ll stay as big as it is. Will people come to the mall to go to the craft store? I hope so.
I bought a few things in the hundred yen shop, visited the grocery shop. It was Costco day and they had muffins and pain au chocolate and it looked good. I told F about it later, but he only seemed interested for a couple of minutes.
I ended up in Doutors with a glass of rooibos tea and waited for F. He joined me a bit later and I got him a drink and myself another one too. We relaxed for a bit and then decided to go and get food for his mother. F wanted to drive across the city to get his mother some sushi for dinner. We ended up doing that.
We did a quick trip to the grocery store and picked up some stuff for K, F and I got a couple of small things too. We came back to the house and F gave his mother the sushi. We came upstairs for a while and relaxed.
Around 7:30 I went over to F and talked to him about going for dinner. He had no idea that it was as late as it was. I suggested a few places and he suggested a high end sushi place. I was okay with that, but when we got in the car, we decided to go to the nearby Korean restaurant. We went there. We had some ideas on the menu, but then F wanted a set meal. We ordered two slightly different ones with extra bowls so we could share. F’s was like salty miso soup, mine was spicy with beef. I enjoyed it, but it was a tad salty too.
We paid and then came back to the house. I watched a bit of Apple TV and then took a shower. After the shower, F and I had some ice cream and then he’s gone to bed. I think he’s sleeping now.
It was an okay day. I have no idea what we’re going to get up to on Sunday. I hope it is not too bad, whatever we do. Come back later if you like and hear about my day. Until tomorrow….
