Monday - Sunny and warm, rainy at night

I went to bed very late last night and so I woke up a bit late today. I went back to sleep after a trip downstairs, but got up around 11. It was a holiday and we had nothing planned, so no worries. 

I got dressed and heated up my water pot but wasn’t able to have a drink. F came into the room and wanted to know about lunch. Of course, he hated most of my suggestions. We finally decided to go to Cocos, but when we got there, the parking lot was completely full. Everyone else had the same idea I suppose.

We ended up at Gusto. It looked a bit busy, but we were able to park and get seated quite quickly. We both had fairly decent meals. I had the mixed grill and F had a grilled chicken dish, we both got drink bar and either rice or bread. I ordered a plate of fries to share and they were nice. 

After lunch, we went grocery shopping. We both went to Izmo and it was okay. I was able to get most of the stuff I wanted, but F came around the store with me after a while. I really don’t like it when he does that. Still, it was fine and he paid for things.

We went to Gyomu Supa afterwards and again, he came around with me. Sigh. It’s not that I buy a lot of junk food, it’s just that I don’t always know where things are so I have to go back and see things. I find it all rather frustrating if I’m honest. 

We came back to the house around 4 pm and I put most of the groceries away. I popped into the loo and then F put the rest “away” except I had to undo a lot of what he was doing. He left my bread on the table where his mother could get her hands on it, he also left her breakfasts for the next two days there….she’d have them eaten by tonight if I didn’t hide them. 

I went upstairs with a few things and then decided to veg out with some YouTube. I relaxed or tried to. F came up and as usual, wanted to know where to eat tonight. Neither of us was ready to eat. That wasn’t important. 

I did suggest sushi, but F didn’t want that. He suggested one restaurant and I said it was okay to try it. Usually, when we go there, it isn’t open. We drove over and the lights were on, but it was closed. We had to move on. I suggested the Chinese restaurant near the bridge near our old apartment. F said he didn’t like the place, but he couldn’t come up with a good place for both of us. We went there.

We looked at the menu and ordered. Tonight we had stir-fried vegetables and mushrooms, yakisoba- F’s usual thing and some kara-age. It was quite nice and even F agreed that he enjoyed it afterwards. 

We came back to the house and upstairs. I really should have taken a shower tonight, but didn’t. I watched an episode of Bad Monkey on Apple TV and enjoyed it. 

And that was it. I had a good text session with my sister. She got her birthday presents finally, two months after her birthday! 

Anyway, that’s it for me. Tomorrow I hope to do laundry and I’ll be back to cooking dinner. Yay me. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
