Wednesday - Snowy, cold and windy
A good day.
I woke up in the middle of the night and it was cold. Brr. I went back to sleep, but when I woke up this morning I really didn’t want to get up. I had to drag myself out of bed. Then, I discovered that the kerosene tank in our room was empty. Grr!
I had a fairly standard morning today except that I did a couple of loads of laundry. I wanted to start the holidays with a lot of choices about clothes! I didn’t see K at all this morning.
In the afternoon I went down and put my lunch together. I came back upstairs and relaxed. I ate and ended up watching Fantastic Beasts again. I think I enjoyed it more this time than the first time I saw it.
When it finished, I took my lunch dishes and some of F’s dishes downstairs and washed them. I brought back the clean dishes. Then I got dressed for outside. I went out and shovelled the snow in the area around the house. I cleared the steps and the driveway where F parks. I worked quite hard and K surprised me a bit by coming out and talking to me. I wasn’t looking at her, so when I heard her voice I jumped about 5 feet!
I finished up and then went inside. It was still snowing so a lot of my work got covered.
F came back to the house around 6 pm. He was quite tired from work. We talked about what to do this evening. He said that he wanted to go to the onsen, but I didn’t. His mother did want to go, so I suggested that they both go after dinner.
I got dinner on the table fairly quickly. We had bought some food last night at the grocery store so I put it out. We had some chicken, some tofu and some gobo salad. I also put out some cheese, cream cheese and some crackers for me. We had a very nice meal and even though K said she was full and didn’t want to eat, she did! LOL. I’m getting used to her saying that, so I had a plate for her, and her chopsticks too!
I told F & K to go off to the onsen and I would do the dishes. Finally, they left, and I did wash the dishes and then I did up the garbage too. It’s the last garbage of the year so it should get out of the house I think.
After an hour or a bit more, they came back. F hadn’t had a great time, he said he nearly got into a fight with a guy who was giving one of the cleaning ladies a hard time.
I asked that we go out for a bit. I hadn’t had any wifi since Sunday so I needed a bit. I also get quite housebound, especially in this horrid weather. I suggested going to McDonald near our usual grocery store. F was okay with that. We went to a Drugstore for a bit and then to McDonald. We each had a dessert and a drink…we almost closed out the joint!
We got a few groceries for the house and then drove back. It was so cold in our rooms afterwards. Brr. It had gone down 9 degrees in a bit over an hour…maybe more.
We had a quiet evening really. Tomorrow, F finishes up his work for the year. We don’t have a lot of plans for our New Year, at least I don’t know about them if there are plans. It makes me a bit sad in a way. We do have plans to see my friend in the next city and hopefully will go to Yamagata and Costco during the days off.
Come back sometime soon and find out what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
