Thursday - Rainy, dark and cold

I woke up this morning when F got up. I tried to go back to sleep, but he was not quiet and I needed a trip downstairs first.  I snoozed a tad when I came back, but got up and watched the news after that.

I had a fairly quiet morning. I was going to do a bit of laundry at 10 am, but I discovered that F had left his load of laundry in the machine. I think K usually takes them out and hangs them up in the garage, but not today. Oh well. I took the stuff out and hung it up in our room.  I watched NCIS: LA while I did that.  

In the afternoon I watched a few more things off the DVR and quite enjoyed them. I watched Criminal Minds, more Killing Eve, Bake-off and possibly something else. No big deal.  F called to say that he’d be late after all. He’d had a late driving assignment.

Around 6 pm I went downstairs to start heating up the stew. I washed my dishes from the day and then decided to wash the shelves in the fridge. Dear F had put a bottle of syrup for a drink he likes in the fridge but hadn’t closed the lid properly. It had leaked all over the bottom three shelves. I figured that he should clean it up, and to be honest, I use the top shelf, so it doesn’t usually bother me. However…I had time to kill in the kitchen while the stew heated, so I took the shelves out one at a time, washed them, dried them, and put them back in. It’s a LOT less sticky now. 

I got the stew warmed up and served some to K and I.  We didn’t have anything else to go with it, we just finished up the small amount of salad leftover from last night. The stew was still good, in fact, it was really good. We both had a little bit more!

I was in the kitchen doing the clean up when F called. He was finished work. I let K know he was coming back and finished up the dishes so far! When he came in I gave him his stew and he liked it too.  I stayed to clean up his stuff as well, then went upstairs while he talked to his mother and drank his drink.

Around 9 pm I went downstairs again. I thought that we were going out, actually, we had to go out. I needed some food for tomorrow. He came up and changed. We went to Komeda Coffee and had a cup of decaf each. We used the last of the tickets we had bought in the summer so we didn’t have to pay money today. Woot.

After an hour we went to the grocery store. They didn’t have anything that I wanted to cook tomorrow, so I went to Plan B. I’m going to do pasta again, with the duck breast from the top of the fridge and a salad. I think it’ll be okay. 

We got a few things and then came back to the house. I watched a bit of YouTube and then a bit of TV.  

I’m not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow. I would like to do more decluttering. I had to do two day’s worth today to catch up. I’m quite enjoying the process. I should do more laundry and work on some stuff for Christmas. Wish me luck with that! Come back later if you want and read all about it. Until tomorrow….
