Sunday - Warm and sunny, with dark clouds
Well, we didn’t go to Costco today. I woke up with my alarm in the morning. F hadn’t slept well and said he was tired. A few minutes later he said that he wasn’t feeling well and didn’t go. No worries. I would rather not get in a car and drive for 2 hours when I’m under the weather, so I can’t expect F to do that either.
I went back to sleep and slept quite late today. Oh well, we had no other plans. I got up around 12:30, filled up the kerosene tank and started up my hot water. F and I had some hot drinks a little later and then he went downstairs to make lunch for his mother.
By the time he finished, it was after 3 pm and I hadn’t eaten. I wasn’t too happy with that. He demanded that I tell him where I wanted to eat and I suggested the tonkatsu place at the bus depot. F suggested some “Michi no Eki” in the boondocks. I said no because I wanted to eat soon and I reminded him that many places close early these days because of the pandemic.
We drove over to the bus depot and of course, the restaurant had closed early for a change. F pushed the idea of his road-stop place and against my better judgment went along with his idea. He swore it would take 20 minutes to drive there. [Spoiler Alert] It didn’t. It took 30 minutes.
We drove out to the middle of nowhere. Honestly, it was a beautiful drive, but there was nothing out there. We reached his Michi no Eki and….it was closed. Of course. I was pretty ticked off but tried really hard not to get upset. I asked him to drive me back to the last convenience store that we passed and I would buy food there. That’s what we did.
F said that he didn’t need any food, but would take a drink. I picked up a couple of onigiri, a sandwich and a drink for F and a piece of chicken for myself from the display case. Back in the car, I started with the chicken. I gave F one of the onigiri and he did eat it.
We headed back to Tsuruoka and F asked if I wanted to go for yakiniku. I said maybe later. I had just eaten and didn’t want to eat too much right away.
When we got back to Tsuruoka we went to the grocery store and I picked up some ingredients for dinner tomorrow night and a few other things. After that, we went to the gas station and F picked up kerosene and also gas for the car.
We came back to the house and I put the groceries away. I heated up the bento I bought for K and gave it to her. I went upstairs and a few minutes later F came up too. We talked about going for dinner right away so we did! We went to Togashi for yakiniku and I asked F to call and make a reservation, which he did. Hurray!
We had a lovely meal. We had a combo plate plus a veggie mix to grill and a kimchi combo. We both had two drinks tonight which is quite unusual for us!
After dinner, we just came back to the house. I watched The Black Phone and did some crochet on my blanket until my ball of yarn finished. I enjoyed the movie a lot. I had heard that it was good, so I was glad that I finally was able to see it.
Oh and during the day, I finished my book. It was Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs. I really liked it.
So, today was an odd one. We didn’t go to Costco, but I’m okay with that. We might go next weekend, it depends on how F is doing then.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
