Tuesday - Hot and Sunny

Well, today didn’t start well, but it ended okay so that’s something!

I woke up before 8 to watch the BBC news, which I did. F had gone downstairs before me, so I had to wait. I went back to sleep after the BBC segment, or I tried to. F did. I set my alarm for 9:15 and got up when it went off and started to get dressed. F said he’d get up at 9:30. 

We had bought something for K’s breakfast yesterday so when F went downstairs to make her breakfast, I expected he’d be right back. He took about 40 minutes. He came back upstairs and it was 10:10. I was not pleased. I wanted to go and have breakfast before we left. Breakfast basically goes until 10:30. And F was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I asked if he was going to change. No. I mentioned that I thought he’d be cold at Costco as it tends to be cold in there. Okay then.

We had nothing ready to go. I went downstairs, I grabbed the Costco bags and F brought the cooler and we went out to the car. By now it was 10:20 and there was no way that we’d get to the restaurant in time to have breakfast. I was really upset and was quite vocal about it. F got angry at me and decided not to go today. To be honest, I was really glad about that. He went back in the house, and so did I. He told his mother we wouldn’t go today and then he went back to bed. 

I spent a few minutes on my computer and then I went back to bed too.

We slept/snoozed/whatever for a while. A bit after 1 we started talking again and it was okay. We went out for lunch to the Daiichi Hotel in S-Mall. They didn’t have their weekly cheaper meal available, so we had their hamburg lunch. It was quite nice if I’m honest. F had his with rice, I had mine with bread. They forgot to give me butter, so F asked for me and I got it. 

Over lunch, F made himself an appointment for a massage and I asked if he would take me to a post office to make a deposit. I’m a bit behind where I wanted to be this month. Oh well. Still, I am doing better than I expected.

After the post office, we drove to a hardware store. F looked around, I looked at the hundred yen stuff. Neither of us bought anything. F drove me back to S-Mall a little early and then he went back to his massage. I did a little shopping and looking around in the mall. I got a couple of things in Daiso, the hundred yen shop, a nice pen for myself in the bookstore and then I just decided that I wouldn’t keep wandering around. I went straight to Doutor and had a large rooibos tea. I played games on my phone and then I read some of my book. F didn’t call, he just showed up!

I got F a drink and myself another, smaller one. We had a nice visit. F asked over lunch if I’d be willing to go to Costco on Wednesday so I said I would. I went over my shopping list with him but I know what I want to buy, but he’s the one who’ll have to cook it after I leave!

We grabbed some food in the mall for K and for F for later on. I wasn’t sure if we’d go out or what we would do afterwards. We came back to the house and F gave his mother her food. She got some sashimi on rice, it looked quite nice. 

We went out again right away. I had suggested a Chinese restaurant on the other side of the park and we were able to get in. We were even a bit before the last order. Yay. We got some nice food. F had yakisoba, I had stir-fried veggies, and we also had some kara-age and some gyoza. We shared everything and it was pretty good. We paid and left.

We went over to the grocery store and picked up a few things for K for tomorrow. Hopefully, we can get away on time so that we can have breakfast. I like having breakfast out since I never get a proper breakfast here!

We came back to the house and I put away the groceries and then I headed upstairs. It was hot in our room so I turned on the AC and then took off as many clothes as was decent!

At 11 pm I watched the last episode of Resident Alien for season 2. It was a humdinger. It was a lot of fun and I laughed a lot. I turned on the Fire Stick and played some music while The Walking Dead recorded. 

Anyway, that’s it for me for today. I want to get to bed early tonight so I can hopefully get on the road tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Did we make it to Costco? Until tomorrow….
