Wednesday - Sunny and then cloudy and rainy
This morning I woke up in the hotel and dragged myself out of bed. I got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast I went back to the room and took a shower. When I finished there, I had to complete my packing. I managed to get everything done before checkout time!
I checked out of the hotel and went over to the bus site. I found a nice big locker that I could put my suitcase and my backpack in for a while. I stuffed my things in and paid my money!
After that I went upstairs and had a chamomile tea latte at Starbucks. I killed about an hour there, that was good. I also got stuck back into a play that I’ve been reading and got a big chunk done.
I decided that I’d go up to the restaurant that I wanted to have lunch at, so I did that. I went up to Caprichossa again and had their lunch special. Today I had a steamed chicken and vegetable pepperoncino. It was good. When I left the restaurant I walked around a bit and decided that I’d catch an earlier bus than I originally planned.
A little after 2 pm, I bought myself a packet of mints, a bottle of water and got my luggage out of the locker. I joined a huge line of people. Luckily, most of them were waiting for another bus, not mine!
I got on the bus when it arrived, I found a good seat and got my iPod out. I listened to Gowan for a long time and then put on the Hairspray soundtrack until we got back to Tsuruoka.
I got off the bus at S-Mall and got my suitcase from under the bus. I walked over to Baskin Robbins and had an ice cream there. That was very nice.
When I finished there, I went to Doutor and ordered myself an iced cafe latte. F called me when he finished work and I asked him to join me. He did after a bit. I got him a drink too.
We relaxed a bit and then left so that we could get some groceries. F had made rice already so he didn’t want bentos. I thought that was a shame as bentos would have been easier. I got a few groceries, hopefully I got enough of the right things!
We came back to the house and I ended up getting the food on the table. F ensconced himself in the washroom, so I had no choice really. I heated up the food we bought and put it on the table. K was up so I made her a plate…which she promptly told me she couldn’t eat. Sigh. I gave it to F instead and then she said that she could eat a little of something. I made her a plate with less food and she happily ate that. F came out eventually and ate, then went right back to the toilet. I finally had to ask him to get out so other people could use it!
I got to do the dishes tonight…welcome back me! and then I came upstairs. I unpacked and set up my computer and when F came upstairs he went straight to bed. I had to delay him a little as I wanted to give him a small present I picked up for him. I got him a bottle opening tool at IKEA. It’s got a corkscrew and a knife in it. It’s something that we can never find when we need it. He promised to keep it in a good place!
After that, I watched Grey’s Anatomy. It was an interesting episode where Jo and her beau finally got married. There were lots of operations that didn’t go very well and people broke up…it was a mess. I guess next week is the season finale. It seems really short to me.
And that’s about it for my day. I’m glad I’ll get to sleep in my own bed with my hubby tonight, but I’m sad that my lovely holiday is over. I had a great time away but didn’t get to do all that I wanted. Still, I did a lot and saw a good friend, so that was excellent.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
