Monday - Sunny and warmer

A good day

I woke up before 8 am this morning.  Nothing unusual about that.  What was unusual was that F was still in bed beside me. Oops!  He’d overslept. I woke him up and he got up and was able to get to work in time.  Safe!

I overslept a bit, but as I had nothing much planned this morning it didn’t matter.  I got up and was relaxing by myself when F made a brief appearance!  He brought me some juice and chocolate, so he was in my good books!  

After he left, I got dressed and started making stew.  It took me a while as I had to cut up all the veggies, but it went well.  I set everything in the pan and put the lid on to, well, stew.  

I also scanned a few cards so that I could send them out.  I won’t be able to the rest of the week.  It took a while as my computer and F’s scanner had problems talking for a while. Still, I got it done.  

F came home a bit late tonight.  He was a bit tired, but not drained like usual.  I found a recipe for dumplings and he did laundry!  I made dumplings and put them on top of the stew, set the timer and forgot them for 15 minutes.  I set the table while he worked on packing.  

I served dinner and it was a big hit.  It looked quite cool with the dumplings on the top of the big pan.  They were very nice ones too, and so was the stew.  Actually, the stew was very good. I’m looking forward to having it tomorrow night.  F did the dishes afterwards while I finally spent a little time on my computer.

We made a quick run to my school to set the heater for tomorrow and then to the post office to mail cards and a letter I’d written.  On the way back F asked if I’d like to make a trip to Mister Donut, so I said I would.  Woot.  

We went in and noticed that their prizes that they give away for points were pens, quite nice ones too.  I had just enough points to get two pens, one for each of us.  I got a cute pink one, and F got a brown one.  They are really nice and a pen is much more useful to me than a plastic mug such as they were giving away before.  We had our donuts and drinks and then came home again.

F worked on his packing again, and then so did I.  I tried to get myself organised. I still have a few things to throw in the suitcase. I’ll probably check it tomorrow and see what else I need.  We didn’t even watch any TV this evening, we were so busy.

Which brings me to this.  I won’t be updating tomorrow night, nor for the next few nights as we’ll be away.  Don’t miss us too much, but I’ll be back with all the details as soon as I can!  Night.
