Saturday - Hot and sunny, humid
I woke up around 9 this morning and went downstairs. I thought that F would be gone but it turns out that his sister came over and she took their mother out to the Day Service. I went downstairs and then headed back to bed. I snoozed a bit and then got up and dressed myself. I waited upstairs to hear what F was up to, but after a bit of computer time I went downstairs and just talked to him.
We talked about lunch ideas and I suggested either the hotel we went to last week or the restaurant in Fujishima that we go to. F liked the latter idea so he called and made a reservation. We drove out to Fujishima and went in.
We ended up having the same thing the pork saute, the Japanese set meal. It’s quite nice, a little gingery and the side dishes are nice too. I think we had the restaurant to ourselves, but that could be because we were a little late when we got there.
After our meal, F wanted to get ice cream and go back to the house. I was a tad sad about that, but whatever. We made a stop at the grocery store, F picked up a few things and we got some ice cream.
Back at the house, F and I ate our ice cream in the living room and then I went upstairs. I spent some time on my computer. F came upstairs a couple of hours later and made to take a nap. I tried to take a nap too, but he was watching stuff on his phone without headphones, I tried putting in my earplugs, but I could still hear it. I ended up getting up a few minutes later.
F went downstairs to make dinner. He invited me to join him so I grudgingly said okay. Tonight he made a stir-fry…it was his infamous “salt stir-fry” and it wasn’t great. He hadn’t used any seasoning besides salt and it was pretty bland. However, it wasn’t as bad as I was worried it would be. He’s just not a great cook in my opinion. This was edible, but all he’d planned for dinner was rice and stir-fry. There wasn’t much stir-fry and he hadn’t cut up the meat so some pieces were huge and hard to eat. I’m complaining, but it was nice to be able to just leave the living room when I was finished eating. I did carry some stuff to the kitchen before I went upstairs!
Upstairs I relaxed and enjoyed myself. F came upstairs a bit and actually talked about going to karaoke tonight. Although I’d love to go, I reminded him that it is expensive at night. I took a chance and let him know that there were a couple of movies in the area that we could just about get to in time. At Mikawa there is the new Karate Kid movie in 40 minutes and at Machi-kinema Once was playing in 30 minutes. I let F know that Once was an old movie but he liked the idea. Besides, it is much easier to get there in time!
I changed into going out clothes again and we drove over to the cinema. We bought our drinks at the machine and then our tickets. We went to see Once and it was great. I had seen it before on TV but F hadn’t. He’d heard the song a few times of course because I’d sung it at karaoke and played it in the car a few times. After the movie F kept asking me if “Falling Slowly” was used in another movie. I didn’t think so, but I’m not sure really.
We stopped off at a convenience store on the way back to the house. I got something for tonight and also something for my mini-lunch tomorrow. K’s Care Worker is coming over early so we won’t be able to go for lunch, at least not early!
Back at the house, I watched the last half hour of FBI and then turned off the TV. I’m taping a movie now, who knows when I’ll be able to watch it!
So, today turned out to be a decent day after all. I was worried that we’d fight again, but so far so good.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
