Thursday - Clear and sunny

An okay day.

I got up and watched Grey’s Anatomy and wrote another Postcrossing card.  I had a quiet morning, mostly on my computer, but relaxing too.  I had planned to go out really early, but decided that I just wasn’t up to that.  I probably should have gone, but…

In the early afternoon I ate a small lunch and then decided to go to a stationery store.  I debated taking my bike, but decided not to. I should have, as most of the roads were quite clear.

I spent a few minutes in the store looking around and settled on a couple of items.  I asked the clerk to have them wrapped as they weren’t for me.  He told me the charge which was fine, and then he disappeared!  He must have been gone about 15 minutes…literally. I didn’t time him, but I was quite surprised.  The other store clerk went and checked on him too, so she was surprised it took so long.  Finally he came back.  The gift looked very nice, but I’m honestly not sure what took so long!

I set off back home. I had hoped to get home in time for the start of Shameless, but I didn’t make it.  I did make good time though. I bought some new stamps in the local post office and the clerk there told me there were some new stamps coming tomorrow.  Yay!  I watched Shameless which was good, but quite shocking, as it always is!

I scanned my outgoing cards.  Last night I wrote 6 and this morning another one, so I had 7 cards ready to go. I put stamps on them and then scanned them and uploaded the pictures to the site.

F came home around 6:30 and was very tired.  I gave him the option of dinner first and then going out, or going out first and then dinner.  He chose the latter option.

We went to my school to start the heater, a drug store, the gas station and then the main post office to mail my postcards before going home.  

At home we each got busy.  I cooked some green beans I’d bought yesterday, and the chicken, while F cooked himself some fish and whatever else he had. He was finished eating by the time I sat down, so it was quite sad. Tonight I suggested to him that he keep a food diary so that he can try to pinpoint exactly what foods are making him feel bad, and when, rather than him just bluntly stating that “meat” is bad for him.  He didn’t like that idea.  

He watched something on TV, or rather did his usual looking at his cellphone while he pretended to watch TV.  He took his bath and I moved to the chesterfield for The Good Wife and a little hooky!

He went to bed soon afterwards, but not me!

Anyway, that was my day. It was quite good and I’m really glad that I went out. It would have been so much faster on my bike, but walking was probably good for me too! Tomorrow I’m back at work, hopefully I’ll ride my bike for most of the way.  Got to go.  Night.
