Wednesday - Sunny and clear
Today was a pretty good day, all told. I woke up this morning when my alarm went off. I got up, went downstairs and then I came back upstairs to the room. I sorted my laundry and then I went back to bed. I ended up oversleeping but I didn’t mind too much. I didn’t have too many plans.
I got up, dressed and then took my laundry downstairs. I ended up doing two loads of laundry today and hung them up in the room. I wrote a couple more nengajo but didn’t finish them yet. Sigh. I had wanted to get them done before Christmas day but I didn’t.
I had lunch a little late, somewhere after 3 pm. I went downstairs to make it and then brought it back to the room to eat. I thought about watching the news and decided I really didn’t care about that. I watched another episode of Lie To Me. I think I like the show, but I’m not sure yet!
F called a bit after 5 and said he was on his way to the house. I went downstairs and then I got started on dinner before he arrived. Tonight I made coro-coro steak, I air fried half an onion that was leftover in the fridge, we had potato salad and regular salad, plus some steamed broccoli. Dinner got pretty good reviews and was nice, even if I say that myself. Oh, and we had dessert too. I had bought some Orange Cake when I was in Tendo and we had that with a bit of ice cream. It was a good end to the meal.
I did the dishes afterwards and it took longer than I would have thought. Between the dishes and then the garbage, it was 9:30 when I finished. Sigh. Rather than go to Mina which closes at 10pm, I suggested that we go to MaxValu.
I changed my clothes and we went out, F and I. We drove with a bit of a detour to MaxValu and bought some groceries for lunches and dinners. F wanted to buy some snacks so we got something for each of us, then for his mother. After that, we went to the check out. On the way, F picked up a big bag of potato chips. I was a tad surprised.
He rang up the groceries (in the evening it is self-checkout) and when he got to the big bag of chips I was rather surprised. It was over ¥400 yen! F didn’t think it was that expensive or he wouldn’t have picked up the bag. F paid and we came back to the car and went to the house.
At the house we unpacked the groceries and then came upstairs. F opened his big bag of chips and split them with me. There weren’t that many chips really. Also, they were supposed to taste like dadacha-mame but I didn’t think they did. F did however.
I watched today’s episode of Wild Cards and it was cute. It was about a reality TV show where there was a murder. The actors are quite good looking and it’s a Canadian show, although in this second series they don’t really talk about being in Canada or Vancouver anymore. Bit sad that.
And that’s about it for my day. It’s Christmas Eve so I’d like to wish all of my readers a Merry Christmas if you celebrate or a Happy Holiday to you if you don’t.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
