Thursday - Clear and Sunny
I woke up again this morning to an empty room. I didn’t hear F leave this morning either. Some days he is so quiet, others not so much!
I had a quiet morning. I went downstairs around 10:30 to do a load of laundry and grab my breakfast. I heard the doorbell and went to check it out. It was F’s sister. She was looking for her mother, who wasn’t around yet. I invited her in and she woke up her mother who was fast asleep in bed!
I got my laundry started, my cereal poured, and then I headed back upstairs. I watched some of my telly and hung up a lot of laundry too.
I was downstairs getting my lunch things together when the doorbell rang again. It was F’s sister again. She brought her mother a couple of presents and left.
I was horribly angry at my husband last night and then I did a bit of soul-searching and realized that if I was sick I would like the person I’m married to to be nice to me! I texted him and asked him how he was and that I hoped he was better. He texted back soon after. He wasn’t feeling better. Just a little bit of friendly texting cleared the air for me and I realized what a twit I was last night.
F called me around 4 I think. I was working on my column. He reminded me that he wasn’t coming back until late. I reminded him that we hadn’t done any grocery shopping for two days and there wasn’t much food left. Ack.
After 5:30 I went downstairs into the kitchen and started cobbling a dinner together. I was just going to make a few little things then decided to do a Buddha bowl/donburi type of thing. I roasted the rest of the butternut squash, opened a tin of tuna, put out the rest of yesterday’s salad and heated up the leftovers from yesterday too. I put it all on the table and called it “Okonomiyaki-donburi”. K was very confused, but I showed her how I made the bowl for me and she did get in on the act. It was actually really good. I’d made a mayo/spicy chilli sauce/ mixture and put that on the tuna, a little salad dressing on the lettuce. The squash was excellent too.
Of course, I got stuck with all the clean up today too, but it wasn’t too bad really. There were no pans to wash or soak and I didn’t go to great lengths for a change.
I told K that F would be back around 8 pm, as that was what he told me. I went upstairs around quarter to 8 to wait and work on my column.
Earlier in the day, I had finished writing my column. I just had to do a bit of polishing. That done, I was just about to save it for posterity when F called. It was 9 pm and he was wondering why someone had called him from the house phone. Er, that wasn’t me! Turns out, K was checking on where he was since he wasn’t back by 8 like I said. Egads. Work sometimes goes late. I wasn’t worried, why was she?
Between the time that F left work and arrived here, I finished and sent in my column for Winter. Woot. Done done done.
F was tired tonight, but seemed a bit better than yesterday. I offered him some of our dinner but of course, he wanted ramen. We went out together. I told him I really didn’t need to eat anything as I had a nice dinner.
F couldn’t find a place he really liked so he went to the Taiwanese restaurant near MaxValu. I had mentioned to him that I needed to find some wifi so I could check if my phone was completely borked or just a little bit! He didn’t want to go to any place that had wifi. So, at the Taiwan place he had a big set meal and proceeded to try to get me to eat half of it. Yuck. I don’t like that place normally anyway. I did eat a couple of his gyoza and one huge piece of kara-age, plus the dessert that I ordered. (3 balls of coconut mochi stuff) F ate one of my coconut things, no problem for me.
It was too late to go to the places with good wifi and coffee, so we hung outside the nearby drugstore and checked our phones. Mine worked no problem. Big surprise! I thought the wifi antenna might be broken. I updated things and then we came back to the house.
At the house, my wifi didn’t work. I did what a website had suggested to me, I unplugged the wifi equipment and plugged it back in again. Lo and behold…it worked! Woot.
F took a shower tonight and I watched a bit of TV. Tomorrow I’m supposed to be meeting a friend and having coffee or lunch, and then I’m not sure. I’m honestly just going to be happy to get out of the house!
Come back later if you like and see how November gets itself started. Until tomorrow….
