Sunday - Rainy and cooler, humid
I slept in this morning. When I went to bed I didn’t set an alarm for the morning. We had no plans, so why would I?
I woke up around noon and got up. F talked about lunch but didn’t seem too enthusiastic about it. Finally, we decided that we’d go to the Aquarium and eat there. It was drizzly when we left the house, but by the time we got to the Aquarium, it was pouring. We went into the parking lot and the attendant made us go to the right, away from the Aquarium. I said to F that we shouldn’t go. There was no parking for ages. I reminded him that I had just got over a cold, I didn’t want another one and he didn’t have an umbrella with him. We left.
We did have lunch in Yunohama though. We went to a cafe in a building that we’d eaten in before. It was a dessert cafe before, and now it is a cafe that allows dogs to come in. We went in and got a table. There were about 3 dogs visible, and one in the back as well. The dogs were really good and were very quiet.
I ordered pasta, they had shrimp and vegetable pasta, for 200 yen extra I got a dessert, soup and salad. F had the fried chicken lunch and as usual, he didn’t like it! We both added on drinks. F had coffee and I had iced tea. We were doing fine and relaxing when all of a sudden, F sneezed. He had one of those huge room-shaking sneezes! All the dogs started barking and poor F was so embarrassed!
When we were finished eating, the restaurant was closing so I nudged F and let him know that we should go soon. We ended up going back to the Aquarium.
This time when we arrived at the Aquarium, we were directed to the left. Woot. Our parking place wasn’t terribly close to the building, but it was much better than it was earlier on.
We went in and renewed our memberships. They are raising the price tomorrow, so F didn’t want to wait. We went through the aquarium and enjoyed ourselves. I was a bit sad because the octopuses were snoozing, so they weren’t mobile at all. I love watching them move. When we got to the jellyfish section it was so nice to see them again. It looked like there were a few news ones around and I took a few pictures.
When we finished at the aquarium, we went back to the car and drove back to Tsuruoka. My shoes and socks were wet, it wasn’t a nice feeling. I suggested to F that we stop at K’s Denki so I could get some more ink for my printer. While we were there, he got some headphones for his phone too.
I did the grocery shopping after that. I’m going to do chicken drumsticks tomorrow and then Gapao Rice on Tuesday. We came back to the house and F did his nasty thing about “waiting for me to get out of the car”. I reminded him that I had to carry two bags plus my stuff into the car and he said he’d help me. He didn’t. He did open the house door, but then he disappeared and let me deal with the groceries. Again.
I put the groceries away and then went upstairs. I spent a couple of hours at my computer. F did pop up for a few minutes but disappeared soon after. He said he was going to heat up the bento I bought for his mother. But then he didn’t come back!
Around 8 pm I started to get worried about dinner. He hadn’t talked about it and he has an early start tomorrow. Not only that, but we would soon run out of options.
I texted him and asked him if we could go and as usual, he asked me what I wanted. Eye roll. It’s so annoying. I suggested four types of food and restaurants and then he asked me which one I wanted. Nope, that’s not how it works. I’d be happy with any of those four, HE gets to pick which one we go to out of those. He chose curry which was fine.
We drove over to Coco Ichibanya. On the way, he remembered that last week we’d gone for Indian and was worried I meant to go there again, but I didn’t. I was okay with last week’s meal, but it wasn’t so good I needed it again.
At Coco Ichibanya I had their handmade pork cutlet with half rice and half an order of veggies, plus a lassi. F had the seafood curry and a lassi. He was happy, I was happy.
After we ate, we came back to the house. We had a quiet night in. I had hoped to watch TV or something tonight, but it wasn’t to be. I also didn’t want to be responsible for keeping F from sleeping.
So, that’s about it for tonight. It was a weird day. I get really angry with F. He doesn’t communicate well with me and I am just supposed to guess what he is thinking or wanting to do when he hasn’t said anything. He’s generally a great guy, but will not make plans or state a preference for anything.
I asked him if he had any summer plans or ideas, or even if he’d be taking time off for Obon next month…the area he was born in does Obon in July. He didn’t even remember when Obon was there. he just doesn’t make plans. When I used to work it would really hurt my feelings when he’d take time off work and he wouldn’t even suggest it to me so that I could join him and his family. I needed to give at least two weeks notice when I worked for the company so it wasn’t a good thing to spring on me.
Okay, enough whining.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
