Monday - Snowy, windy and cold
An odd day.
I got up at my first alarm so that I could watch the Academy Awards this morning. I also got dressed right away too. I didn’t want to be looking for clothes if someone came to the door.
I got down to the serious business of Facebooking the Oscars! It was a hoot. An old friend from my university and I make it a date, we comment on the Oscars together and it’s a bit like watching them together. This year we were joined by a guy from my high school and then later on, a blog buddy! 3 people in two different continents watching the same show and “writing” about it in real time. Fun!
I enjoyed the show this year. It was my first experience seeing Seth MacFarlane and I thought he did an okay job of hosting. I was quite happy for Jennifer Lawrence and also for Ang Lee. Adele was amazing as always….and how cool to have Dame Shirley Bassey there for the Bond tribute. She sang Goldfinger. Sing it with me now… “Goldfinggggah”!
The Academy Awards took up all of the morning and some of the afternoon. I was deciding to go out and shovel some snow when the TV started broadcasting a siren noise. There was an earthquake in the middle of Japan. I think it hit Tochigi and was fairly strong. A couple of seconds after the warning on the TV it hit us, but it was very mild here. Still, it was so close to the anniversary of the big one we had two years ago, so I know people are a bit anxious about the whole thing.
I went out after a few minutes and shovelled some snow. I did the doorway of the apartment building, then F’s parking space, and then went down the driveway a little bit. It got darker and the snow started up again, so I gave up and came inside.
After F came home, we relaxed for a while and then went out to my school. I needed to set the heater for tomorrow’s class. We did that, and then came back home.
I got started cooking dinner. I had asked F to help me, as part of a conversation over dinner, but as usual he did nothing. Sigh. He says he’ll do something, but he doesn’t. Anyway, I prepped the chicken, set the table, prepped the soup and heated it up. While we were eating the soup, I cooked the chicken in the microwave. The soup wasn’t hot enough of course, but I followed directions so go figure.
The chicken was good, and so was the salad. I was sure that it wasn’t enough, so I cooked a few hash brown patties for us and served those too. It was quite a nice dinner.
F did most of the dishes, and then decided to make bread again. Yesterday’s loaf didn’t rise properly, but it tasted good. He wanted to make the same type again and did. I took it out after 1 and it didn’t rise again. He thinks that it was the flour. It wasn’t strong flour. I’m ticked because he wasted the onions that I caramelised.
We re watched the Oscars tonight. I enjoyed it without writing all through it, and F seemed to watch parts of it. He took his bath, and while he was there I took out the bread.
We discussed the flour and he was all set to try making more bread. However, starting to make bread at 1:30 in the morning just isn’t a good idea in my opinion and he got angry at me for saying so. He threw the bread pan on the floor I think…no idea if he picked it up. He did some “work” on his computer and then stormed off to bed without talking to me. Good Riddance.
Anyway, I’m done. It was a good day until F started to act stupid. Sadly, I’m getting used to it. Tomorrow I have an afternoon class, but I’m going to have to do a lot of snow shovelling and walking to get there first. Sigh. Night!
Oh, and today was a personal anniversary for me too….a rather sad one, but I haven’t been wallowing as much as I usually do for it. Probably a good thing?
