Friday -Cloudy and a bit rainy

A good day.

I got up this morning because dear F made a lot of noise in the bedroom when he was getting ready for work. Sigh. I came back upstairs and watched the news on NHK. I’m a bit ketchy these days, I stay in bed with the covers over me for the news. That way I don’t have to run the heater. I’m not sure how long I’ll do that, but it also lets me snooze through the non-English news too.

I got up properly and watched CSI and checked into all the stuff I normally do. I had breakfast and did a load of laundry and put away the stuff that had finished drying from before. I also tried to get caught up with some of the backlog on the DVR. I did fairly well too. 

On my trips downstairs I never saw K at all. I think she was staying in bed. I don’t have any objections to that, but I do worry about her health if she doesn’t move a bit more. I think she does the stay in bed all day thing so she doesn’t have to run the kerosene heater. I’m not sure.

In the afternoon I wrote up a few postcards, then scanned them. Afterwards, I had a few minutes left so I did another one and scanned it too. I got 4 ready to go out today, which was good. I’m not doing enough I know but it is hard to carve out the time for it. 

F came back to the house and was very tired. We did talk about making nabe at the house, but decided to go out to a restaurant near the post office.  We took K too and had a good meal. F stopped off at the post office and I posted my postcards. Yay.

We brought K back to the house and talked about going out again. We wanted to go to the grocery store and get something. They have been having a thing where you collect stickers and get a nice kitchen good for a reduced price. Tonight was the last night. F grabbed the papers and we went out to the car. We drove over to the grocery store and…F couldn’t find the papers. Sigh. We looked in the car and in the back seat, checked his pockets, nothing. We drove back to the house to look for them, nothing. We gave the car another once over and I noticed some folded papers tucked in beside his car seat. Yes! We hadn’t seen them. We drove back to the store and picked up a cooking tool set and tried to get some bowls, but they are back ordered. F put his name down for them though.

We had a drink at Starbucks tonight…their White Chocolate Winter frappucino. It had marshmallows in it, so yuck. I’m not a fan. I didn’t like the drink very much at all. 

We came back to the house afterwards and both did the bath thing. I watched a little bit of telly, but F went to bed fairly early. 

That’s about it for my day.  Oh, and I promised you a picture of that last ornament once I finished it. Here you go….

Until tomorrow….
