Tuesday - Rainy and warmish

I woke up this morning at 7:30, which is a little early. I made a trip downstairs just as F was going upstairs. He said that the bread would finish in two minutes and he’d come back and take it out. 

I ended up taking the bread out myself. It wasn’t a big deal or anything. It came out easily. I went upstairs and complained to F about the oven mitts from the bread maker. They felt wet inside, like someone had washed them. F said he hadn’t and basically told me not to bother him while he was getting ready for work. Okay then. I didn’t. I went back to bed and tried to snooze a little longer. He left.

I had a fairly busy for me morning. I did a couple of loads of laundry and put away some of the dry clothes from before. I didn’t see much of K this morning. I did very early on, but not later.

F called to say that he had decided to take the afternoon off. He’d take his mother to the hospital to visit her mother as well. He said that he’d likely have lunch around noon. Okay, I said I’d eat here too.

F called me later to say he was ready to leave work. He showed up a few minutes later. He told me he hadn’t eaten and asked if I’d like to go out with him. I said sure. He told me that we’d go to the hospital first with his mother and then all of us would eat somewhere. 

We went to the hospital and it was terribly depressing. F had to get me a mask to wear and then we went in. When we found the right room, we had to put on a plastic apron first. F helped his mother do it, but he did it wrong. I figured it out and then helped them.  We popped in for a visit but left after five minutes or so. 

Lunch was at Gusto and it was fine. I had a “special lunch”, chicken with salad and a bun, K had Japanese style chicken with miso soup and F had the daily cheap lunch of a hamburg patty with mushroom sauce. I liked mine, K seemed to like hers and F didn’t like his. Par for the course.

We took K back to the house and F asked if I’d like to go to the Internet Cafe. Even though I should have been writing, I said yes.  I grabbed some yarn and printed out a pattern and then came out to the car with him.

We went for 3 hours and I got a fairly good start on my pattern. I won’t have enough yarn to finish it properly, but it doesn’t really matter. I’ll enjoy the process I think.

After our time was up it was too late to go back to the house and cook dinner, so we went to Coco Ichibanya and had Grandmother curry again. They are having it on for a couple of months. They giveaway spoons to lucky people who pick the right card out of the box…well, tonight that was me! I got a lovely curry spoon which I will use for eating my cereal!

We came back to the house and had a quiet evening in. We both took showers and even though F should have an early night, he can’t sleep. He just gave me some of his lovely onion bread and it was amazing! I should have had some earlier today.

That’s about it for me. Tomorrow I must buckle down and finish that column, or get much closer. I hope that I can. Come back later and see what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
