Tuesday - Rain showers, cooler

A goodish day.

The bad thing, let me get right to it, is that my ears are still bad.  In fact, I’d almost say they were worse.  Now if I bend over, the right one in particular is quite painful.  I’ve asked that we go to the doctor on the weekend if they aren’t better by then.  And of course, F being F keeps forgetting why which makes me quite annoyed to have to keep telling him!

In the morning I watched Castle, I was up early for a change, then took a nap.  I finally got moving and dressed, but not in workout gear.  I didn’t feel like it again.  F came home for lunch and brought me something that I’d like for lunch, soup.  He tried to give me an onigiri too, but as I told him, I planned to go out for lunch so didn’t want it.

I did some laundry in the afternoon and when it was finished and hung up, I went out.  I went to S-Mall.  It was very cloudy and overcast when I left home, and it started raining on me when I was close to the mall.  I parked my bike and went inside.  Safe.

I had lunch courtesy of Subway and then went over to Doutors for a cappuccino.  Yes, I am trying to bring coffee back into my life a little bit.  Only a little at a time though.  The cappuccino was great.  F called me while I was there, and was going to join me, but when he heard I had my bike with me begged off.   I picked up some salad stuff for dinner and then biked home.  It wasn’t raining anymore.

When I got home I started prepping the kitchen and the table for dinner.  I was mostly re-heating things, but had to wash the lettuce and the cucumber that I had bought.  F came home in the midst of things and wasn’t too annoying about coming for dinner.  

We had a nice dinner.  We had a couple of tacos each and then with the leftover broken shell, plus some tortilla chips made some taco salad.  Yum.  It was nice!  

What wasn’t so nice was that F was watching horrible Japanese TV with the volume up high.  With all the noises and braying hosts and such it was really hurting my ears.  A couple of times I asked F if he was really watching it and he said he was, but got a bit annoyed with me.  

He wanted to go for a walk after dinner, but didn’t do the dishes for ages.  Then he did do them.  I tried to change my clothes and I asked to borrow his thermometer to see if I had a fever.  My forehead felt hot.  I didn’t have a temperature at all.  

F threw a bit of a snit because I wasn’t ready and because I wanted to check my temperature and the next thing I knew, HE had thrown himself down on the bed and closed the bedroom door.  I was rather irritated because I had been telling him all damn day that I wasn’t feeling well, yet, he has a headache and decides not to go for a walk.  Okay.

I thought for a while and then decided that I wanted to go anyway.  I went in and suggested just going to the nearest 7-11 for an ice cream bar.  He said it was okay, so off we went.   We walked about a mile and a half all told, and it was okay.  I’m glad I went.   And, I had to pay for the ice cream, because F had forgotten his wallet again!  He paid me back later but honestly….

The evening at home was okay.  I wrote up 4 Postcrossing cards and watched a bit of TV with the volume quite low.  F took his bath and is now snoring on the couch.  

Tomorrow I don’t really have any plans yet.  I’ll have to scan and then send my cards, and maybe do a few other things.  I need to start doing a bit of research for my next column.  Ack…due the end of the month.  

Come back a bit later and see what I get up to.  Until tomorrow….
