Monday - Hot and Sunny

I woke up fairly early this morning. F had already left. I thought that he woke me up, but really he’d left much earlier.  I never did go completely back to sleep. I watched the news and semi-dozed.

I got up and dressed around 9 am. I had a quiet morning but did a load of laundry too.  It was hot in my room today, but it wasn’t humid.  I managed to tough it out without the air conditioner today. Yay!

I also finished my column and sent it in. Yay. That was a huge relief getting it sent in early.

I went downstairs to prep dinner around 6:45 tonight.  I was in the hot kitchen peeling potatoes. I wasn’t sure what she was doing, or why, but K came in and started fanning me with a Japanese fan! Then, she opened the window and closed up her room from the outside and turned on the AC.  I, of course, closed the window so the cool air wouldn’t go out. It was so nice to be able to get part of the cool air in the kitchen.  Yay her.  

When F came back to the house, I basically just had to throw dinner in the pan, which I did. Tonight we had another frozen meal from the grocery store, stir-fried by moi, plus some salad and some anchovy potatoes.  Yum.  We also had some melon that F bought on Saturday. It was good too.

F did the dishes, but he did them in his own weird way. He washed the plates first, one of the glasses, then the pans, then the other glasses…it makes no sense to me. I’ve tried to explain the order to him, but he just doesn’t seem to understand why we save the pots and pans to the end… I know I should take away the fact that he does wash the dishes, and I do try, but sometimes it really would be simpler if he’d just let me do it my way.

When I went back upstairs, F followed a little later. We turned on the AC as it was still over 30 degrees up here. A bit hot to sit around in.  F didn’t want to go out today, which was fine. I’m going to be out for lunch tomorrow and am not planning to cook or be around much of the day!

I watched a bit of TV tonight and then took a shower.  F fell asleep on the bed and hasn’t woken up since. I think he’s exhausted. Oh, I also started a doily. I’m not sure if I’ll keep going, but it looks interesting so far. I hope I can keep it interesting!

I really should go. I’ll have a busy day tomorrow and don’t want to be too tired.  Come back later if you like and find out about my day. Until tomorrow….
