Tuesday - Rainy then clearing

I got up this morning on time but watched the news from the bed. I had to watch the DVR News though. I realized after the BBC update had finished that it was only 4 minutes of English news. Not really acceptable to me. Tomorrow I will check out some of the other broadcasts to see what my options are.

I watched ER and then The Black List and did a couple of loads of laundry. I had them hanging in my room for most of the day.  I saw K at one point and did say hello. 

Today was kind of a nothing day, to be honest. I didn’t do a lot of anything. I planned to Postcross, then didn’t. Sigh. 

F called around 5:45 to say he was coming back to the house so I went down and got a start on dinner. Today I made that old Japanese standby, yakisoba. It’s sort of fried ramen noodles with a bit of meat and some vegetables.  I served mine with a side salad and in the yakisoba, we had sausages, mushrooms and cabbage. It was actually pretty darn good.  I even served dessert today, my mincemeat tarts. They weren’t quite a month past their date!  Still, they were nice. 

F and I went out after we did the dishes tonight. We went to the drugstore, then to the coffee shop.  We went for a decaf each and some wifi, but F wouldn’t leave!  When we were there for an hour, I thought it was time to go, but it took F another 25 minutes before he’d put his phone down. So annoying. He is so addicted to his phone, I wonder if he has any idea how bad it is.  Admittedly, I spend a lot of time on my phone too, but I would like to at least have a conversation with my husband. I look around and other people are talking to each other, he just doesn’t look up or talk to me. And he wears an earphone too, so it isn’t like he’s even listening to me!  He isn’t. 

We picked up a few groceries at MaxValu and then came back. Oh yeah, there was some nonsense over the recycling of the supermarket trays they use. They were in a bag and I was taking them out in handfuls to pop in the box. I thought F suggested that I just put the whole bag in the box, so I did. Then he got annoyed at me for doing that. I don’t understand what he wants. I grabbed the bag back since it wasn’t what he meant. 

We had a quiet evening in the house. I watched some TV and F did his thing, no big deal.  

That’s about it really. I’m a tad late for bed, but not too bad. If I go soon I can get enough sleep for the night. If!  Come back later and see what’s new. Until tomorrow….
