Sunday - Cold and windy
I went to bed rather late last night and slept in quite late too. F was in bed still, but awake and on his computer. I groggily said good morning and tried to sleep on. I didn’t really manage.
I got up around 10:30 and thought I’d go and look for nengajo. Surprisingly, as I was on my way to the door, I saw the mailperson coming up the steps and he put the cards into the slot. I grabbed them and went upstairs. I read the cards and then relaxed in front of my computer.
F went down after a few minutes and started making lunch. He made a huge amount of soba. He gave me some and it was quite nice. He’d put some meat in it too. After I ate the noodles that F made, I grabbed some cereal and yogurt. It was nice to have it after a few days without it.
We had a chill-out day. We just hung around the house for a while. In the evening F realized that he’d need more meat for dinner…I had suggested nabe yesterday. He’d bought meat but used most of it for lunch.
We popped out to the closest grocery store. I mailed a nengajo to someone that sent one to me and I didn’t send to them, and then we went shopping.
F picked up a few things and I threw one or two things into the basket as well. We came back to the house and F did the cooking. I did offer to help but he turned me down.
I went upstairs and relaxed a bit more. He called me down and I went. Of course, he hadn’t finished prepping things, so I had to get out the tea, the glasses, and a few other things, but generally, he did quite well.
The nabe was good and we all enjoyed it. At the end, he put some of the leftover soba into the nabe and we had a bit of that too. He cooked an insane amount of soba this morning, I have no idea why!
I offered to help with the cleanup, but F turned me down. I did help him by taking a bunch of stuff to the kitchen for him, but I went upstairs when I was finished.
When F came upstairs I asked if he’d like to watch something with me and we ended up watching Belfast together. I’d already seen it last year in Yamagata city, but I was happy to watch it again. It is such a great movie. I am very pleased that F loved it too.
After the movie we both took showers and I am now watching YouTube and blogging. It was such a low-key day, but kind of nice. We both enjoyed ourselves I think.
The one bad thing is that K sounds really bad. She is wheezing quite loudly. She refuses to use the heater that we put in her room to warm things up. I know from when I had a bad time with asthma I couldn’t handle really cold temperatures. She sleeps in her room and stays there for a really long time. F is going to see if there is a doctor open tomorrow that she can see.
I’m not sure what we’ll get up to tomorrow. We didn’t go to the mall today, but we might go on Monday. It depends on rather a lot of things.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my second day of the year! Until tomorrow….
