Saturday - Snowy, sunny, clear and cold
I was supposed to be able to sleep in today so why did I wake up at 8:30? I went downstairs and then went back to bed for a minute…times 120 or so. F kept coming into the room which was fine. He left to take his mother to the Day Service and then to have a massage.
I finally dragged myself out of bed and took care of a personal errand that I hadn’t done in ages. When I was done, F was parking the car. I went upstairs and a few minutes later, F came back to the room.
His massage was okay, but he did complain a bit about it as usual! His favourite masseuse isn’t there anymore so no one compares to her apparently.
We talked about going for lunch and I suggested Monami at the Daiichi Hotel. They had a very nice sounding lunch special this week so we decided to have that. We drove over to the mall and went into the Hotel. We were able to get in and we ordered the curried chicken stew lunch. It turned out to be very tender and delicious.
After lunch, we did a little shopping. We checked out the closing grocery store and F picked up a few things. They were selling off their alcohol so he bought some and he also got something for K’s breakfast tomorrow. He put the shopping in the car and I went into the import food store. I bought some lemon pepper-ish stuff and F bought a bag of popped lotus seed puffs. I wanted to go up to the Daiso, so we did that. I got some corn nuts and clips and F picked up a few things too.
Then, we hit up Baskin Robbins! They give us a coupon on our birthday month so we can get a free single scoop of ice cream. I took advantage of that, F had to pay for his. He had chopped chocolate and I had Jamoca Almond Fudge which is so good! F’s was good too, we taste-tested each other’s of course.
We left the mall next, or almost did! On the way to the car, F decided he needed a washroom break so I asked for the car keys. When I got to the car, it was covered in snow. It wasn’t too deep, but it was all over. I opened the car and took out the brush and swept off most of the snow for him. Then, I got in the car and waited. It wasn’t long.
We came back to the house. F stayed downstairs and I went upstairs. I spent time on my computer and F made his mother her dinner after she got back.
We had made plans to go and see a movie at 6:10, so we left the house a little late. We drove over to Tsuruoka Machinaka Kinema and went to see White Bird. It was a good movie and I was very verklempt at the end. I think F liked it too.
After the movie, we needed to eat. I suggested going to Gusto and F grudgingly agreed! We went in, found a table and had a fairly decent meal. I had a lemon-avocado-shrimp-ham-cream pasta dish that was very nice. F had cut steak that was okay, but not great. We shared an order of fries and they were very nice too.
We left when we finished eating and came back to the house. We both headed upstairs. F was lovely and filled up the kerosene heater for us and then we had to try and heat up the room. It took a while.
At 11pm I watched the first episode of The Day of the Jackal and it was great. Eddie Redmayne was good and it was nice to see Lashana Lynch again. She kicked butt in Bond, so I’m looking for her to do the same or more here.
And that’s about it. I’ve watched a lot of YouTube and I have done a lot of stuff on the net. I haven’t written my bestie back yet and I haven’t worked on my column today. Oh dear. It was a good day though and that gives me hope for the rest of the weekend.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my Sunday. Until tomorrow….
