Saturday - Hot and Sunny
I got up this morning after F took K to her day service. I went downstairs and F came back around then. I said hi to him and then went back upstairs and slept on for a bit.
F joined me for a while on the bed and we talked about where to go for lunch. I came up with a couple of suggestions and F proclaimed that he would never say no to my suggestions. It’s funny…he doesn’t really say no, but he never says yes either. He always gives me “the look” that says how dare I pick that place!
Anyway, the first place I picked was booked up, the second was really busy and had no parking left…so I came up with another idea. I suggested the place in Kushibiki. We were able to get in there which is very cool! We both had yakisoba…mine with mapo-dofu and F had the five things topping.
We came back to Tsuruoka and stopped at a dessert shop. We picked up some ice cream bars for ourselves (very cheap!) and some frozen desserts to keep for a bit longer.
Back at the house, we ate our ice cream bars and then I brushed my teeth. We got ready and left the house a little late. Yay us. We drove to my dentist’s office and got there about a minute before the time. I checked in and was taken in almost immediately. Basically, they brushed my teeth today. Sigh. They gave another plug for the rinse that they made me buy and then the hygienist brushed my teeth for me. Apparently, my teeth aren’t too bad so they told me to come back in October for a cleaning and a fluoride treatment. Okay, I don’t mind that, maybe.
I’m really conflicted, I like my dentist, but I don’t like that she’s always trying to sell me things that I don’t need or use. I don’t want the rinse that she is selling. Mint tooth things sets off a gag reflex on me AND I don’t have a “safe” cup in the bathroom that I can use for it. K has no respect for other people’s property so she would use my cup for drinking probably. I’m a bit germ-phobic at times.
Since I didn’t have any prohibition about drinking, we decided to go for a drink. We went to a local coffee shop and had a couple of cold drinks. I had an ice tea and F had iced coffee. We enjoyed the wifi and the atmosphere for a while and then came back to the house.
I went upstairs and F stayed downstairs. I relaxed for a while and then K came back to the house. After a bit, F went out to get something for K’s dinner. F had been feeling under the weather since last night, so I had suggested he get some medicine at the drugstore. He forgot!
I let him sleep for a while and then I asked him how he was feeling. He said he was okay. Since I wanted to give his stomach a break, I suggested going for udon at the chain restaurant and pick up some medicine on the way. F liked that idea!
He got his medicine and we went to the udon restaurant. We both wanted cold udon. I had one with meat and grated daikon, F had a salty broth one. We both picked up some tempura to have with our meals. It was a nice choice for dinner, not too expensive and hopefully easy on F’s stomach.
I checked with F again about how he was. I didn’t want to force him to sit through a movie when he didn’t feel good. He said he was okay, so we drove out to Mikawa. There was an ambulance behind us, so F had to pull over when it got close to us.
We found a parking spot at the mall and went in. We got our tickets and then we got some popcorn and drinks.
We went to see The Fantastic Four: First Steps tonight and it was a lot of fun. I loved the retro 60’s vibe and the story was fine. The cast seemed to like each other and I just enjoyed it.
After the movie we got in the car and I checked with F that he was okay to go to Don Qihote where I wanted to go to buy some cereal! He said he was, but when we got out to the main road, he turned the wrong way. Sigh. He ended up doing a U-turn on the empty road to come back the right way!
We did a little shopping at Donki. I didn’t buy any cereal as they didn’t have any that I wanted. F got himself some ramen and some socks as well as a few other things. I bought some spaghetti as we needed some and the price was good. I did see some earphones in the audio section that looked interesting. They were over the ear ones. I can’t stand things in my ear and these might be just what I am looking for. They were around 6000 yen, so not cheap-cheap, but not too expensive either. I’m thinking of saving up for them. I probably should have taken a picture of the brand name so I could look them up at the house.
We bought our goods and then left for the house. We came straight here and came upstairs and relaxed. I did put the spaghetti in the kitchen!
We had a quiet rest of evening. F went to sleep fairly quickly, I’m still up doing my blogging and other internet stuff.
Tomorrow we have a meeting with K’s care manager and then we’ll have to do our usual shopping and finishing up the weekend. It should go well if F is feeling okay tomorrow.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
