Thursday - Cold and snowy

I overslept a bit this morning, not sure why. I didn’t go to bed very late at all, by my standards. I dragged myself out of bed, watched the news and learned that Japan is going to do whaling again. Of course, they always were whaling, it is just that they pretended it was “Scientific Research”. 

Watched my shows, did a couple of loads of laundry which entailed putting away other loads of laundry and making space for the freshly washed stuff. I was quite tired in the afternoon!

I watched a bit of TV and then went down for lunch. K was around in the kitchen heating up her lunch, so I said hello. I offered her some of the veggies from Christmas day and she accepted. I made her a little plate with some dips and put them on the living room table for her.

After my lunch and before the news, I went out and shovelled snow for about 45 minutes. It was still very light and not too deep, so it wasn’t difficult. The sad thing was that it was very unpleasant as it was still coming down.  At one point a lady delivering flyers came in the driveway and I jumped about six feet.  She was wearing a red coat and I think I must have been thinking Christmas Elves or something…anyway, we both had a laugh.

I went into the house and up to my room. I watched the news and finished wrapping the gifts for my sister and her family. F called to say that he was on the way. I could barely understand him. He keeps using the car’s microphone to call me and I hate it. There is so much background noise I can’t catch what he’s saying.

F spent some time arranging for some clothes that I ordered to be sent back. It took a long time and sounded terribly complicated.  They should get picked up tomorrow. Yay.

We went out for dinner to Udonichi. I like that place a lot, but F said it is terrible. Maybe that’s why I don’t like his udon when he makes it!  I think his is terrible.  It was cold where we were sitting. K and I had the same dish, udon with some tempura, F had udon and rice and tempura.  We planned to take K to the store, but then F said just the two of us should go, so we dropped her off at the house and went to the store.

The first shop had nothing for K and me for dinner tomorrow, so we went to another store. We got some stuff there, but we didn’t have much choice. F will be away tomorrow night at a party if he’s feeling better, so K and I need some food.  I don’t want to cook tomorrow.

We went to the drugstore and then the supermarket, and then went back to the house. F got quite shirty at me and was not a very nice person for a while. I’m not sure what the problem was. He even got mad at me for whispering to myself when I was across the room. I know he’s feeling bad, which is the only reason I didn’t go ballistic on him tonight.  

He went to bed fairly early, I’m off as soon as I post this. The weather is windy and cold and I have to turn off the water before I come to bed. Oh yay. I so love that. 


Tomorrow I have a few things to do around the house and I’m sure I can always shovel more snow! Come back and see what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
