Friday - Rainy early on, clearing later in the day

I woke up this morning before my alarm went off. I went downstairs and then came upstairs and went back to bed. I didn’t sleep very well though, I couldn’t really turn off my brain for ages.

I got up later and grabbed breakfast. I came upstairs, ate, watched the news and a bit of YouTube. I did a little bit of knitting today too. I had to count the stitches because I thought I gained one or two last night. I did! I took a little bit back and then I knitted another row. 

I had an early-ish lunch and of course, watched an episode of Fringe. Have I mentioned lately that I’m really enjoying watching that show? 

F called a little after 5:15 and said he was on his way back. A few minutes later, I went downstairs and got started on dinner. As I was making pasta, I couldn’t do too much in advance, but I did a little. 

F got back and suggested that we go to Costco tomorrow. I wasn’t sure about it, but then I thought, why not! I said okay, so it seems like we are going to go to Yamagata City tomorrow. 

I cooked dinner and got it on the table. I tried something interesting today. I put some dried onion flakes into the pasta water and then boiled the pasta. It added a little something to the pasta and it was nice. 

Dinner was good and F had seconds for a change. I was surprised at that, but glad too. After dinner, I cleared the table and did all the dishes and put things away too. 

I changed my clothes and a few minutes later F and I went out. He wanted to get some food for his mother for tomorrow. We went through the store and picked things up, then we went to the drugstore. I went in there to pick up a few things. I paid and left.

F did offer to take me somewhere else, but I didn’t really want to go. Tomorrow F wants to leave fairly early, so I didn’t want to stay out very late. 

We came back to the house and F put away his groceries. I came upstairs but after half an hour, I went downstairs to take a shower. I showered and then came back upstairs.

I had a quiet rest of the evening. I’m watching a bit of YouTube and trying to relax. Tomorrow I’m not sure when we’ll leave. F often wants to leave early, but he loses things so we can’t leave on time!

Anyway, come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
