Monday - Cold, snowy….repeat ad nauseum

A good day. I got up this morning at my usual time but I was still tired. I watched something on TV and then decided to go back to bed for an hour. I did, and it was great. I had a lovely nap. I got up in time to watch The West Wing. Yay.

I had a quiet afternoon at home. I watched a bit of TV, and some of it was even educational. I had lunch, and went outside and shovelled a bit of snow. It’s all quite packed down now, so it is quite difficult to scrape up. I didn’t really manage, but I got F’s parking space a little easier to see, at least I thought I did!

F called me around the time I thought he’d be coming home to say that he was still on the way back to Tsuruoka. He’d had to drive to Yamagata today. A few minutes later, my student for tomorrow called and cancelled her lesson. She has a good reason and she’s within her rights to call me the night before to cancel, so I understand. I was worried about going over to shovel snow tomorrow anyway.

F finally got home well after 7 pm. Poor thing. We decided to go out to Cafe Framboise, so we headed over there. We were the only people in the restaurant, but we had a lovely meal. F had his usual Japanese set dish, and I decided to have steak tonight. I don’t usually, but their steak is cheaper than their chicken dishes!

We bought a few things at the grocery store afterwards and then came home. I wrote up a couple of postcards to send out. I’m a little excited. One is going to Brazil, and the other is going to Denmark. I’ve never sent to Denmark before, and only once to Brazil. Woot.

I watched Harriet’s Law and did a couple of rows of crochet. I’ve now done 16 rows on my throw and it is looking nice. Yay. I’ve got the pattern down now, it just isn’t automatic quite yet. I think it will be soon though.

That was my day. It was quite a good one. I’ll bid you all adieu then. Night!
