Friday - Snowy, slightly warmer
F did wake me up this morning, but I fell back asleep right away. I woke up a bit later when my alarm went off. I did my usual, and watched the news before taking a bit of a snooze.
I woke up a bit early today and went downstairs. I checked the snow situation and also noticed that I had received a couple of books in the mail from a person in my women’s group. I grabbed my breakfast and went upstairs to eat. I relaxed a bit. Normally on Friday I do laundry, but with the water situation I decided not to do it. I have no idea if we even have water in the washing machine! I did sweep the stairs today which was sorely needed. I hadn’t done it in ages.
Around 1:30 I went downstairs with the plan to go outside and shovel snow. All of a sudden I heard someone go up the stairs. Huh? K hasn’t gone upstairs lately. It sounded like F. I went upstairs and sure enough, F was sitting on the bed. He told me that he had taken the afternoon off work. Well, that was nice. I told him that I was planning to go outside and shovel some snow and then I’d grab lunch. I sort of expected him to ask me if I wanted to go out for lunch but he didn’t. No worries.
He told me I didn’t have to shovel any snow, but I sort of wanted to do it. I went out and tidied things up, I shovelled around the car too.
When I had done enough I went back into the house and put my lunch together. I took it upstairs to eat. I suggested to F that maybe after I ate my lunch we could go to the onsen so I could take a bath. He was happy to oblige, in fact, he didn’t even want me to finish my lunch!
We did leave after I finished lunch and went to the onsen in Haguro town. It’s F’s favourite onsen. It was surprisingly busy. I took my bath and was done quite quickly. I’m not really into the bathing part as I tend to find the water too hot for me. It wasn’t too bad today though. I couldn’t remember what time I was supposed to meet F after my bath, so I ended up getting out of the bath a little early. Oh well. The only bad thing was that I hadn’t brought any money as I left my handbag in the car! I did read some of my book on my phone though.
F came out a bit later. He gave me some money and I bought us drinks. We talked about dinner. F was having a bad stomach, but he offered to take me out for dinner. I told him that I didn’t have to go out, that I was planning to cook tonight. He decided not to go out after all. We went back to the house and I changed into my kitchen clothing. I decided to change my plans a little. I had wanted to make pizzas but F didn’t want to eat and I didn’t want to open the bag of bases as I’d have leftovers without F. I pivoted and decided I’d make donburi with different toppings. I reheated some leftovers from earlier in the week, opened a can of tuna and drained it and also made an avocado and tofu salad. I put things out on the table, gave each of us a bowl of rice and tried to show K how to do it. She spent about 15 minutes in the kitchen cutting up some pickle which she promptly ate on the rice that I had given her. She did have a bit of my toppings because I put them on her bowl, but she was really into the pickle stuff!
I did the dishes when we were done eating and said goodnight to her afterwards. When I finished the dishes, I turned off the water in the kitchen because it isn’t that warm outside. I went upstairs.
F was in bed and mostly asleep. He was watching stuff on his computer and snoozing. We chatted for a bit and then I went over to my computer and started watching a bit of YouTube from earlier in the day. I also got started on my scrap blanket. Woot. I had to learn a new stitch to do it, the chainless foundation stitch. I hope I can remember how to do it for other things too!
I went downstairs around midnight and grabbed some water from the kitchen. The water wasn’t off anymore. K must have turned it on. Oh dear. However, I tried the hot water and…it worked! Wow. It must have reset itself or something. I filled up my bottles and then turned off the water again.
I went upstairs and told F about the water. He was quite tired so he might not have been as happy as I was! I also suggested that he set his alarm clock as he has an early massage. He’d forgotten about that too! He’s really tired and is now sleeping.
Well, that’s it for me for today. It was quite a busy day surprisingly, and quite a good one, so that’s good.
I’m not sure what I’ll get up to on Saturday but I hope it’ll be a good one. Come back later and find out. Until tomorrow….
