Tuesday - Cloudy and cooler
A middlin’ sort of day.
I woke up around 5 am and grabbed my phone to see what time it was. I was half asleep of course but noticed I’d had a message from a cousin to say that a relative in the UK had died. It was rather sad news to receive just then, but to be honest, we weren’t very close.
I went back to sleep, but when F woke up for work, I did too. I told him my news, but he’d never met the relative so was sad, but not too much. I got up a bit later and did my usual morning stuff of watching the news, NCIS, having some tea and then going downstairs to grab breakfast. No big deal.
This morning I decided to sort through my drink boxes. I have two boxes full of tea and coffee. I sorted them and set up a bag of tea and coffee packets that need to be used up soon. They are boxes with one tea bag in them for example. Most are decaf, so they are easy to grab at night.
The rest of the day I spent composing an email to a friend that I had an argument with a few weeks ago. I sent it off too.
F called me tonight and really annoyed me. Basically, the first words out of his mouth were asking me about food…as in what did I want? I wasn’t hungry, why does he keep asking me? I suggested he come here to find out, so he did.
We went to the store and he parked in the middle of the parking lot, so I asked him which door he wanted to go in. I didn’t really care. One was close to the vegetables, one was closer to the deli section. Pick one. He got upset with me. I don’t get it. Just go into the store. We went into the deli one and he picked up stuff for his mother. I got some bread and some salad for me. I expected him to grab some fish, but he didn’t. He was still in an odd mood and I had no idea what he wanted to do. He said something like he didn’t want to eat because he would take me to a restaurant that I like. (There aren’t any nowadays. They’ve all been ruined by the experience of going with him.) I grabbed a couple of things for myself and put them in the basket.
We came back to the house and F gave his mother her food. I put my food in the fridge for later when I was hungry and went upstairs. I decided to go out to the temple down the street. I had asked F to go with me tonight, but I decided that since he was angry I’d rather go alone. He came in the room and said he’d come and then I said I didn’t want him to and then asked him if he really wanted to. He said he did, so we went out.
We walked to the temple but he wasn’t talking to me and was doing the thing where he’d walk behind me and change sides. I hate that. We got to the temple and it was so not what I wanted. I’ll have to go again. I had hoped for a little time to remember my dad and even my relative, maybe even talk about them with F, but nope. Throw the money in, a couple of claps and let’s take pictures of the sunset.
We walked back to the house going around the long way. It got a little better until F said that he wanted me to cancel the trip this weekend. He isn’t feeling well. I said I’d go by myself but would have to work out how to do it.
Back in the house, I got on my computer and figured out money and bus and train schedules and looked at hotel rental sites and realized that it would be an expensive trip for me by myself. I’d have to stay two nights since I’d be travelling by bus part of the way. I decided that I probably couldn’t swing it.
I watched a bit of TV and then went downstairs and grabbed my food around 9:00pm. Now I was hungry. I heated part of it and brought it upstairs. F seemed surprised that I was eating, but he did see me getting food tonight! He asked if I was hungry and I said I was eating. I think he was planning to take me out. He didn’t have to. He made himself something to eat and brought it upstairs too. However, when he finished, he had a bit of an accident going down the stairs.
I washed my food trays and then came upstairs and spent some time with F on the bed. He was relaxing. We actually were nice to each other and things got much friendlier. Yay. I showed him some of the paintings by the painter that I like and he said he’d like to go. I have two days left that I can cancel the hotel in, so we’ll see how it goes. If he’s still in a bad way or if the weather is bad, we’ll stay here. I told him how much the trip would cost if I go alone and he said he’d pay for it! Too bad he didn’t say that before.
I also brought up our anniversary which is coming up next month and asked about it. We might go to our favourite restaurant for our anniversary that night. Fingers crossed.
I watched the last episode of Suits with Meghan Markle in it. It was quite good. I wonder how the show will survive without the two younger characters. I’ll find out next year I think.
And that’s about it. Not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow. I’m hoping to do a Postcrossing or two, but who knows if I’ll get around to it. Come back and see what happens. Until tomorrow….
