 Sunday - Beautiful and sunny, warm


I woke up fairly early this morning but managed to sleep late a bit. I got up around 10:30 which for a Sunday was pretty good! I went downstairs and then came upstairs again. I got half-dressed and then went back into bed to read a novel on my phone. 


F came up to the room and said that he was doing laundry, but he didn’t talk about going out at all. I was a bit perturbed since I had wanted to go to karaoke for lunch. Oh well.


I got up, dressed myself and watched some YouTube. I made plans to go out by myself to have lunch, but before my bus time F came back upstairs and asked about going out. He was all set to go to karaoke but it was after 1 pm and there was no point! I thought we’d go early and have lunch there, 1 pm it would be busy and too late really. 


We ended up at Nikuya Shokudo, the butcher’s restaurant near the hospital. To be honest, I had said to F that if it was busy we should go elsewhere. He wouldn’t leave though. We had to wait about 45 minutes for a table, I was a bit upset about that. We had an okay lunch. Mine was good, F didn’t like his much. 


We hit up a drugstore after lunch and then went to S-Mall and had coffee (iced and mine was decaf) at Doutor. That was nice. I went upstairs to Daiso and bought a couple of dusters on sticks. We’ve got a few cobwebs in the house and I’d like to get rid of them. I can keep one downstairs and one upstairs.


When we left the mall, F wasn’t feeling that great. We went to Izmo and I went in and did the grocery shopping. At first F gave me some money and I suggested that he give me more. I rarely get out of the grocery store with the amount he tried to give me. I was right to ask for more!


I bought things for lunches, dinners and of course breakfasts for the next couple of days. Then, I paid and went out to the car. We went to Gyomu Supa next where I bought a few things. I got some snacks but also some frozen veggies and crackers for Christmas…eating crackers, not the pulling kind.


We came back to the house and put the groceries away. F actually helped again and did okay. I took some of the foods upstairs. We vegged for a while. F gave K the bento I bought her. Neither of us were hungry at first, so we decided to wait for our dinner. We went out around 7:45 or so and decided on Gusto. We had a fairly good dinner there. I had the 5 mushroom pasta again…so yum, and we shared a plate of fries. F had the mixed grill plate with rice. We both had the drink bar too.


Dinner was okay. It wasn’t the best meal ever, but really it was decent. F complained as usual, but I liked mine.


We came back to the house and vegged. F dozed on the bed, I watched YouTube and then decided I’d watch a movie. For some reason I decided to rewatch Withnail & I. I saw it years and years ago when I first moved to Edmonton. It was one of the first movies I saw at the Princess Theatre. I didn’t really get it then, and I didn’t really get it now. I guess I’m just not into drug and alcohol humour. I did laugh at a few parts, but it wasn’t my sort of movie. 


That’s about it for my day really. I did have a decent day today. I would have liked to go to karaoke, but I’m not upset that we didn’t. We got a lot of things done, so that was good. 


Come back later if you like and read all about my Monday adventures. Until tomorrow….
