Monday - Cold and snowy, but with a few hours of sun during the day.

I had a good day today, for the most part. I got up with F, but didn’t stay up as he was in a hurry and had to rush off. I got up a bit later.

I watched the news today and then the episodes of ER from when I was away. I enjoyed them a lot. I also did a lot of laundry. I still have a couple of loads to do, but I got a lot done today.

In the afternoon I decided to register for the convention this summer. F has told me that I can use my ANA points to fly to Tokyo, so that would really help out the cost of the trip. It’ll also give me a place and reason to wear my gorgeous new dress!

I walked to the post office to make my payment and also to send off a couple of cards and a package to my friend in Canada. No big deal really, just better to do it sooner than later.

I came home and did a lot of shovelling in F’s parking space. I didn’t get it completely cleared of snow and ice, but I improved it a lot. I gave up when the weather got nasty again.

I came into the apartment and got a start on dinner. I chopped up some dried tomatoes, an onion and a garlic clove and mixed them with the meat for tonight’s dinner. I put it back in the fridge to blend the flavours.

When F came home we went out again to the drugstore. As I was walking to the post office today, I realised that my new boots didn’t have any cushion between the sole and my foot. It’s cold right now. I got a pair of insoles, and then some things for the apartment, including dishwashing liquid and hand-soap.

We made a quick stop at my school to drop off some stuff and to set up the heater for tomorrow night. I’ll have to get over there a bit early to shovel snow, but I want it to be warm for my class.

Back at home again, I cooked dinner. It was quite good. We had coro-coro steak with onion and garlic, sautéed. I added some nice ketchup and it made it quite good. We had some microwaved veggies and a salad too. Turned out well.

The rest of the evening was fairly quiet. I “booked” the TV for the night as L.A. Confidential was on. Yes, I’ve seen it before, but it is such a good film that I had to watch it again! I don’t think F was impressed, but his choice for the evening was K-1 fighting so tough break dude!

He’s off sleeping and I’m staying up a bit late. I’m a tad tired, but I do seem to be mostly over my jet lag. Yay.

I had a busy day. Tomorrow I’ll be off to the school and will be shovelling snow before I teach. Oh joy. Let’s hope it doesn’t snow much overnight or I might have to give up the fight.

Night.
