Thursday - Thunder, lightning, torrential rain, clearing finally

Last night I was still on my computer before going to bed when a huge thunderstorm started. It scared me! It was loud and sounded like it was immediately overhead. I shut down my computer and went to bed right away. The thunder had woken F up and it was a while before things calmed down enough outside for us to go to sleep inside.

Unfortunately, this morning also began with a big bang. The rain was fierce and so was the thunder. F laughed at me because I wouldn’t take a shower while the storm was going on. I looked up on the computer to see if I was being dense, but there was quite a bit on line saying that I wasn’t. Of course, it probably wasn’t the smartest thing in the world to use my computer during a rainstorm, but at least if I was hit by lightning, I wouldn’t be naked!

F did a lot of running around today while I was at home, and I took a nap and woke up to an empty apartment. He wanted his lunch early, but I didn’t. I wouldn’t be able to eat again until late, so I wanted to wait a bit. We compromised. I gave him a snack, we went out for a late lunch.

I was dropped off at my school around 5 and I changed into my work clothes. I did a few things around the school and then when my student came, we had a chat about some upcoming changes and got on with the lesson.

After class I did filing and other paperwork, then cleaned up the classroom a bit. One bad thing did happen after my class, my glasses broke. The arm on one side just gave way today. It had been bending for a while. I’ll see if I can get it repaired. I called F to come and get me. He did and we went to Moku-Moku for dinner.

Moku-Moku was okay. It wasn’t very busy today. We had the same thing to eat, the curry plate. It was curry and rice with fried chicken, a sausage and some fries. Quite nice really.

After dinner we went over to the MaxValu to pick up some groceries. I wanted something easy to cook tomorrow so we settled on yakiniku. I’d like to pick up a few more vegetables tomorrow if I can.

We came home and I watched Royal Pains. It was quite cute, and a little timely for us as a character in the episode was hit by lightning. I really do not want that to happen to me. While I was watching it I did some of my crochet and discovered a terrible thing. I’d made a huge mistake in my crochet two rows back, so I had to frog it all. It wasn’t the kind of thing that I could fudge, I’d left out an entire row of the pattern. Yikes! I must have either been upset or really into the show I was watching at the time.

And that’s about it. When my show finished, F found some dreck on TV and watched it. Bleck. He’s gone to bed and is sleeping away. I’m still up for a bit, I requested a Postcrossing address, so my next card is off to the Netherlands. I think I might write the card tonight as I’ll be a tad busy in the morning.

Tomorrow I’m having lunch with another AFWJ member, if all goes well, and then there’s the big yakiniku dinner hubs and I will have. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow. Talk to you soon. Night.
