Warm and sunny, gorgeous day.
Today turned out to be a great day. My alarm went off early this morning and I got up and showered. I decided to make us some eggs after I was dressed. I scrambled a few eggs and fed them to Fumihiko and myself.
Then we headed out to Doutors. Last night I was reading through some blogs that I visit from time to time and discovered that one person was visiting Tsuruoka. I put a comment on her blog, she put one on mine, and this morning I called her and we set up a meeting time. For about an hour at Doutors M, Fumihiko and I chatted, drank coffee or tea and had a good old time. It was really fun. I so rarely get to meet another foreign wife of a Japanese man, that it was a really nice treat.
Sadly, a little after 11 we had to leave as I had a dental appointment. We got to the dentist's office and I went off to brush my teeth. Getting my wisdom tooth out didn't take long and it didn't hurt too much. I think the dentist was worried in case I'd find it really painful so he was preparing me for the worst and was scaring me more than necessary! It really wasn't that bad. I got some antibiotics to stop infections from starting and some painkillers, but so far I haven't had to take any of the pain pills.
Fumihiko and I came home then and had a relaxing afternoon. He was a dear and went out for food after a while. When he asked me what I wanted I just said "pudding" thinking he'd get me the "purin" that is so common here. He came back with sushi, chawanmushi (egg custard) and a very fancy grapefruit pudding. It was all lovely. We shared the sushi, and he ate all the chewy one like octopus.
In the afternoon he snoozed on the couch and I read some of a book. I'm on my second Kathy Reichs novel. It's darn good. It's about a plane crash on a mountain. Considering I'm going on a plane next month it's maybe not the best time to read it, but it's a good novel.
We went out for dinner to Moku-Moku in the evening. I wanted soft food, so I thought that cold pasta would be the right thing for me. We both had cold pasta. I had it Japanese style, which meant it had a lot of cucumbers, eggplant and okra. The cucumbers were a bit crunchy so not quite the best choice, but it was tasty.
We bought groceries at MaxValu then came home. Fumihiko really wanted to watch a movie, so we did. We watched Airplane! which is surely not a good choice to watch before a trip. It's not a good choice, and don't call me Shirley.
We're just chilling out now before going to bed. It's been rather a long day, but it was a good one.
My gum hurts a little but it's not really that bad. All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience at the dentists. He even gave me the tooth in a little plastic case! Do you think I'm too old for the tooth fairy? Probably!
That's it for me. Have a good night.
