Tuesday - Cold and snowy all day

An okay day. I went to bed late last night as is my wont. This morning, my alarms were going off and I had the sneaking suspicion I was not alone in my apartment. I wasn’t. F had come home to change his clothes. He’d been shovelling snow so hard at work that his clothes were wet from sweat. I really wasn’t happy to see him. I’m odd like that.

He left soon after and I got on with my day. I watched Criminal Minds, took a shower and then watched The West Wing. It was good as usual. I had a quiet afternoon, I finally watched my weekend TV then went outside and shovelled out F’s parking space.

After I was finished doing as much as I could, I came back in and vacuumed the apartment. This time I didn’t suck up anything to block the machine and I got a lot of the apartment done. I think it looks a little better now.

F came home for dinner around 6:20 and after 7 we went out for dinner. The original plan was to buy ingredients and make it ourselves, but he was tired. We tried to go to the “Sweeney Todd” restaurant, but it was closed today. We ended up going to Restaurant Futaba, which is near F’s home. We had a really nice meal there. We started with some roasted lamb that was very nice, then we had our main dishes. F had the fish dish. It did look quite nice, but I’m glad I didn’t have it. I had duck and it was good, but a little tough. There was quite a lot of it! If I had known how much there was, I wouldn’t have had the lamb too. Usually when I’ve had duck here I get two or three pieces and that’s it. Tonight, I got a lot.

We bought a few groceries, including a soup base to make nabe. I hope that we can make it soon.
At home we’ve been relaxing and F’s been watching TV. Most of it is news-ish, so I can’t really complain. Well, I can, but I’m sure no one will listen!

I watched a few shows later on, including Criminal Minds and then, Bradley Cooper on The Actors Studio. At first I wasn’t sure why he was on the show. He isn’t exactly a huge star I thought, but then they announced that he had actually attended the school and had appeared on some of the episodes! He was quite interesting.

Anyway, that’s it for my day. I’ve also finished 18 rows of my afghan, so it’s looking more blanketlike. I think it’ll be nice when it is done. I’m not sure when that will be though. I have to go. Night!
