Saturday - Clear in the afternoon, cloudy in the evening

I woke up this morning, went downstairs and then came back upstairs and went back to sleep again. F didn’t really get up today at all until just before he had to leave.

I stayed in bed much too long, but did finally drag myself out of bed around 11:30.  I stayed up for quite a while, but I might have gone back to bed for a bit longer. Or not, I can’t remember.

I grabbed my very late breakfast and ate. I reminded F of the time and he was a bit surprised. He got up around 1:30 and got dressed. He left a bit before 2pm.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen him stay in bed so long!

While he was gone, I watched a bit of TV. I caught up with some news and some other things off the DVR. I also watched a bit of Ghostbusters which was on in the afternoon.  F called me while I was watching Ghostbusters 2. I suggested that he bring his mother a bento to eat and if he was up to it, we could go out for a late lunch/early dinner.

He came back and gave his mother her bento. I’m glad as I was worried about her.

He came upstairs and we had a nice reunion. His thing at the doctor’s office went well and he was okay. Whew!  I suggested going out for a meal and he was okay with it. I asked to go to Cocos as they have their Halloween Cake on special this week, and then I said that if he’d rather go to his favourite fish restaurant in Tsuruoka that would be okay. It wasn’t quite open yet but would be soon. F was game but then changed his mind. He started talking about going to Sakata to a place near the port for lunch tomorrow. My heart sank and lost my appetite. F knows that I hate going anywhere near the port. The restaurants there are crude and we always fight every time we go to one. 

I said that I wouldn’t go, but he should. He said he would.  A few minutes later I asked if I went with him would he stop in at a store to look at Christmas trees with me on the way back. He said no. He didn’t want to go out for dinner with me tonight. He kept talking about going out for ramen. 

We did go out, and we did go to Cocos. We were early enough to get in right away and got a good table. F looked at the whole menu and decided that he didn’t want anything because it was too expensive. Sigh. I’d already ordered something, and I ordered something that wasn’t too expensive. He did order something, a porridge sort of dish made with rice which was actually a great choice for him. I ordered the cake as it was on for half price, plus we both had drink bar. 

Halloween O-Ba-ke cake...cute!

Dinner was fine, I really don’t know why he hates the place so much. He takes all the enjoyment I have about going out away. 

Rather than going straight back to the house after our meal, I requested that we go to the Daiso across the street. He grudgingly agreed. He came into the store at first but left after a while. I bought a few things and then paid.  That was an experience. They had brought in self-checkout in the store and I had to use it. I put it into English, but it was a new machine to me, so it was a bit of a learning curve!  I bought a few things that were the same so the machine kept telling me that it was. I didn’t know if it was okay or not, but the sales clerk helped me and things went fine. 

On the way back to the car, I suggested getting K another bento in case she was hungry tonight. We went to the grocery store and picked up a few things. I got myself a burger and a salad for later because my Cocos meal was basically a late lunch. 

We went back to the house. I came upstairs and watched Ghostbusters: Afterlife and quite enjoyed seeing it again. It was so nice to see small-town Alberta again. It wasn’t the greatest film ever but was fine. I worked on a bit of crafting while I watched the movie.

After a bit of a rest, I watched my show off WOWOW and then turned off the TV. I started blogging a little later.  And here we are. 

I’m not sure if I will get up and go out with F to his sushi restaurant in Sakata. I really don’t want to if I’m honest. However, I really do want to go and look at Christmas trees, so I hope that happens.

Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow…
