Tuesday - Drizzly and humid, but cooler
I woke up when F left for the hospital. He turned on the lights in the room and that got me. I did go back to sleep and woke up about half an hour earlier. I went downstairs and then went back to bed for a while longer.
I got up and got dressed. F was back, which surprised me. He was back for a while he said. We talked about where to go for lunch. Unfortunately, the place we’ve been thinking about going for a few days was closed today. F suggested a different place in The Big Block. I tried to remind him that we had gone before, but he didn’t remember it. We drove over there and discovered that today they only had pancakes for lunch. Neither of us was too excited about that, so we left.
We ended up at F’s new favourite, the Eel restaurant. We didn’t have eel, we had the lunch special. It was huge. It was fried fish, sashimi and niku-jaga…like a potato stew. It came with rice and miso soup and then coffee. Lunch was good, but huge! Honestly…I told F later that it was “a hungry man dinner”. If I was doing manual work I probably would have been glad of it.
After lunch, I asked F if we could go to S-Mall. A kitchen goods shop is closing at the end of the month, and I wanted to see if they had anything we wanted or needed for the house. After that, I would buy F a drink at Doutor.
We drove over and went in. There were a few things that we wanted. I suggested F buy K some socks since they were on sale, I got a pair of scissors with tiny blades and a strainer scoop. F wanted to get a couple of hot mats and later found a cactus plant that he wanted. All told, it came to around 2000 yen, so it's not bad for all that stuff.
We went to Doutor after a little break. My app wasn’t working for a while so I had to do a phone reset, but finally, I got it. I had a rooibos tea and F had coffee. We enjoyed our little break there. Oh, and also in the mall I noticed that Baskin Robbins is getting a facelift! They are closed until the end of the month.
F wanted to go home and have a nap so we came back to the house. I went upstairs right away, and he stayed downstairs for a while. I was on my computer and then I watched the news. When it was on, F came up to the room. Around 6 pm I suggested ordering dinner for K and me for Friday since F is off for a party. He did that, and then we started talking about our dinner.
I suggested either Korean or Indian and we ended up going for Indian. I haven’t been to the Indian restaurant in ages as I haven’t been too pleased with them. I can sort of forgive them for not making my curry spicy hot enough for me, but I have a hard time with cold-temperature curry. Anyway, tonight’s meal was pretty good. I did get a piece of chicken that was a little too pink inside for me, so I didn’t eat it, but everything else was nice. I even had a full stamp card, so we got a discount tonight so that was good.
F wanted to go to the drugstore in the parking lot so we went in. I found a plastic jug that matched my other ones, so I got it and a few other things for the house in their hundred yen shop area. Yay me.
After the drugstore, we went to the grocery store. I went in and did the shopping. I got food for the next couple of nights and days. Tomorrow it’ll be a stir-fry and then Thursday burgers and fries. We’ll have salad and a lot of veggies with most of them too.
We came back to the house and I put the groceries away. I went upstairs and then texted F to ask him to make rice for tomorrow’s dinner. He did. Yay.
I had a quiet evening in. I watched some YouTube and then FBI: Most Wanted. I’m now back to YouTube and blogging. It was quite a nice day with F. His hospital visit was fine, and the doctor asked him to come back next year too.
That’s it for me for tonight. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
