Monday - Rainy and cold
A blah day.
Had a quiet morning except I was convinced that K was doing her sweeping up the stairs thing before 9 am so got dressed earlier than I wanted to. She didn’t as far as I know.
Watched a bit of TV, watched the news, watched some stuff off the DVR. I did some more of my crochet and have decided that this is either the last row or the second last, depending on how I feel when I pick up the hook next time.
F called to say he’d be late today, so I mentally prepared a few things to suggest for dinner. When he did come back to the house I suggested making a nabe since it is cold enough for one. He liked the idea so we went to the store for ingredients. There wasn’t much on offer, but we got enough, then got ready to come back to the house. Except F had forgotten his wallet. He checked the car. It wasn’t there. I offered to pay if he’d pay me back later. He said he would and did.
When we got back to the house I asked him to tell me what to do to help him, but he either couldn’t or wouldn’t. He’s so big and unbudgeable too that when he was using the sink, I couldn’t get around him or use the sink at all. It was so annoying. He made the nabe, I set the table or tried to, and then we ate. And it was bad. He’d used the same sauce he uses for his noodles as the base. I hate that stuff. I’ve realized that it is probably why I hate his noodles so much. He dilutes it so much there is absolutely no taste. Last year when I used chicken consommé cubes the nabe tasted good, but I wasn’t given the chance to use them this time. What a waste of nice ingredients.
After dinner, he disappeared as usual so I did the dishes and dried them too. He reappeared magically just as I was finishing up the dishes. Funny how that works.
Later he asked me if I wanted to go to the onsen but I didn’t. I asked if he’d like to go out and have a drink but he said no. Fine then. I stayed in and watched Bake Off-Master Class and later Project Runway. F took the last of my hot water for noodles so I wasn’t too happy with him. I wanted another cup of tea. When I was going to leave the room, I spoke to him but was ignored, that kind of thing. Low-grade annoyances that happen. I hope things will be better tomorrow…but it is September 11th…
Tomorrow is supposed to have better weather so maybe I’ll be able to get out of this place and have a bit of an exploration or something on my bike. Wish me luck with that. Until tomorrow….
