Monday - Cloudy and a bit cooler
I went to bed a little late last night and had a hard time falling asleep. F was snoring something awful. I finally fell asleep but then F woke up around 4:15. He went downstairs and of course, I woke up. I did manage to fall asleep afterwards.
F got up around 7 am and I woke up then too. Sigh. I had to go downstairs, I did and then I went back to sleep after F left. I didn’t want to go back to bed while he was here, I thought it would be too sad for him to do that! Of course, I ended up oversleeping. Sigh.
I got up and had a quiet day around the house. I got an envelope in the mail. A friend had sent me a packet of tea which sounds really nice. I had a late breakfast and later on, I ate lunch. I never really saw K at all during the day.
I discovered that I wasn’t able to record the movie last night that I had set the DVR for. F still hasn’t looked at it and it’s been more than a month. I am not very happy with him if I’m honest.
I went downstairs around 5:30 to get started on dinner. I had to clean the kitchen first. K and F left it in a terrible mess. There were dirty dishes everywhere and no one had put the clean dishes away either. And the stove. Why can’t F just wipe the stove? I got started on peeling potatoes and of course, F came back to the house. He sat out in his car for ages, probably 15 minutes or so and then came in with some flowers. He needed a vase to put the flowers in, but it was hard to find one. The poor flowers really needed some water, so I found a vase and F cut the flowers so they could drink. He put them by the door.
I got on with dinner but between the flowers and the boiling of the potatoes and making gravy, dinner was a bit late. I got things on the table around 7:30 and I called F and K. By the time I got to sit down, everything was cold, so I wasn’t too happy. F complained that I gave him too much, so I took back some of his mashed potatoes. The meal was bangers and mash, so you should expect potatoes. F was listening to TikTok and K had the TV on and my brain wasn’t functioning. I asked F to turn off his phone and he did. I don’t like asking him to do things like that, but honestly, two sources of Japanese in the room that was loud are two too many. I’d rather have the TV off while I eat downstairs. When I’m alone, it’s different.
I did dishes after dinner and it took a while. It was after 9:30 before I finished. I also did up the plastic garbage to go out. I put it in the genkan.
I went upstairs and relaxed for an hour or so. F was wearing headphones and so was I! After 10 I went downstairs to take a shower. I did that and then came back upstairs. I wanted to do a little crochet, so I watched an episode of Shakespeare and Hathaway and did a row or more of my blanket. It’s leaping along.
During the evening, I’ve been texting a friend in Tokyo about the trips that we’re going to go on. Most of it was about how to get back to Tokyo from here. She was thinking about taking the train, but flying may be more convenient.
After midnight, F presented me with a bag of goodies for my Valentine’s Day present. It’s rather sweet as I didn’t think he would get me anything. The flowers were a surprise earlier…not sure if they were for me or his mother, or both! Chocolates are nice, but most of them have alcohol in them. I’d rather not have alcoholic chocolates, but if I can get him to help eat them, it’ll be okay. I gave him the box of chocolates I bought for him. I gave him an assortment of Ferraro Rocher chocolates. The box has three different types. He seemed to like it!
So that’s it for me. I’m still up a bit late, I hope I can get to sleep soon as I’m really tired. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
