Friday - Rainy and cool

I went to bed early again last night, but for a change, I used my earplugs. It meant that I managed to sleep mostly through the night. I went downstairs around 7:30 but went back to bed for a while. F made his mother breakfast and then came back to bed for a few minutes. I suggested that he make his way off to the doctor as he originally planned and he agreed and left a little later. 

I snoozed for a bit, but got up and dressed. When F came back around 12:30 we talked about lunch. He had no ideas as usual so I suggested Okazaki, his favourite fish place. We drove over there but unfortunately, they weren’t serving lunch today. Darn! F suggested another fish place that we’ve gone to recently, so he drove there. We were able to get in, but we did have to sit on the floor on tatami. Oh well. We managed. 

We had a nice but not great lunch. I was quite sad that F spent the whole time watching YouTube videos while we were eating. That was rather sad. I even pointed it out to him that we don’t get to eat together that often and he was wasting it by not talking to me. YouTube is a strange mistress I guess.

We went to city hall when we finished lunch. I wanted to change my MyNumber card’s PIN. We did that, and the woman also put my health insurance card on that card. I’m less than sure about that one if I’m honest. I don’t want to carry that stupid card around. 

Next up, we went for a drink to Komeda Coffee. It was busy, but we got a nice little seat in a corner. We had a nice time, but again F and I if I’m honest, spent most of the time on our phones. 

I hit up a drugstore next where I got a few things for the house and a few more for myself. Next up, we came back to the house and relaxed for a while. F wasn’t feeling that well, and he was tired too. 

F did rest a bit, but ended up going downstairs to make his mother some dinner. When he came upstairs he asked me what I wanted for dinner. I suggested getting yakitori for dinner. F liked that idea so he called and made an order. F also picked up a couple of envelopes at the convenience store and I got some salad for myself. Then we went to the yakitori place and picked up our order. The parking area was in a huge mess and it took ages before we were able to find a place to park and get our food.

We came back to the house and F and I had our feast in our room. It was very good, but it was a little too cold in my opinion. We both relaxed. F had a couple of drinks, I had some tea.

I had a shower later on and then watched an episode of Ted Lasso. I think it was the second last one. I’ve heard there will be more, I hope so. It was really good and I laughed a lot. 

F has gone to bed. He has to go out in the morning with his mother to go to his uncle’s one year memorial service. It’s also F’s birthday and I feel bad because I don’t have a present for him at all. Sigh. He did say he didn’t want anything though. 

I’m not sure what I’m going to get up to. I might go out in the morning if I can get my act together, but the weather is supposed to be horrible so I might just stay in. I’m hoping that the two of us will go to a movie in Tsuruoka tomorrow night. It’s a movie about wrestling, which F is very into. 

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