Saturday - Clear and sunny, then rainy
I woke up at 9:30 am when my alarm went off. I went downstairs and then came back up and got back into bed. It was cold in our room! I didn’t really drag myself out of bed until after 10, but I was awake. I suggested to F that he get up and make his mother something to eat so he did that.
I got dressed, which took very little time since I put my clothes out last night. After a few minutes, F and I left for the doctor’s office. Today we were doing our usual check and also getting our flu shot. I confused the doctor when I talked about getting “the Covid shot”. He thought I meant I had had Covid recently. Happily, we cleared everything up.
After the doctor’s appointment and getting our meds, I asked F where he’d like to eat. He actually had an idea today. He wanted to go to a soba place. It’s a good place, so I was okay with it. I did ask that we go to the post office first since I needed to mail some stuff out.
We went to the post office and it was open. Woot! I sent off a few Christmas cards and a box with the crafts for the ornament exchange that I am doing. Yay me!
We went to the soba restaurant and were able to get in right away. We had a very nice meal of 100% soba and tempura. I don’t always like soba, but this restaurant is good!
We picked up a couple of bentos for K at the grocery store and then we dropped them off at the house. I took our meds upstairs and changed my shirt. I have a shirt that I wear to get vaccinations in as it has loose half sleeves, but it also is made of polyester and is really rough on my skin.
Next up, we went to a shoe store. I had suggested to F that he might want to look for a pair of boots that he could wear over his brace. He was lucky enough to be taken care of by the same guy that helped him find shoes last time. He ended up getting a pair of tall boots. They took the liner out of the boot so that the brace would go in and it fit. I am a tad worried that his foot will get very cold if he has to wear the boot for a long time, but he doesn’t think it’ll be a problem. I hope he’s right. I looked for shoes for myself, and even tried on a few, but didn’t have much luck. I was too hot and I’m quite picky and I have big, wide feet. I can’t even look at women’s shoes so it is really demoralizing! I didn’t get any today. If I’m out during the week I’ll have a look in the mall.
We followed this up with a trip to S-Mall and had a drink at Doutor. That was nice and we spent quite a while there.
We had dinner at a Tonkatsu restaurant. It was really nice but quite expensive. We used to go to this place a lot, but they kept getting more expensive. Our meal was good, however. They do have free refills of cabbage, miso soup and rice and we took advantage of some of that.
We drove out to the mall in Mikawa after dinner. There must have been an accident between Tsuruoka and Mikawa as we had to detour. It was a good thing that we left early for the mall.
At the mall, we bought our movie tickets and then went downstairs to Doutor to spend some time. We relaxed for a bit and then went upstairs, bought our popcorn and drinks and went to see Black Adam. I quite enjoyed it. I wouldn’t say that it is a great film, but I had heard so many bad things about it that I thought I’d hate it.
After the movie, we drove back to Tsuruoka and visited a conbini briefly. We came back to the house and headed upstairs. F went to bed a while ago and obviously, I’m still up. It is very, very late and I really
should go to bed.
Oh...but before I do, here's a daytime picture of the tree from a different angle!
Not sure what will go on tomorrow, just come on back and find out! Until tomorrow….
