Monday - Grey day

I woke up this morning and then got up. I watched the news, the usual type of thing. I went downstairs around 10:30 and bumped into K. She was still in her nightgown and asked where F was. I told her he was at work and she seemed surprised. She vanished soon afterwards.

I had a quiet morning and breakfast. As often happens, I got very sleepy and needed to take a nap. I slept for a few minutes and then got up and decided to do some laundry. Usually, I only do it in the morning, but decided now was the time!

I grabbed my lunch when I was downstairs and ate and watched a movie that I’d taped last night. It was okay, it was disjointed because I had to keep going downstairs to grab laundry.

After lunch, I got out my big suitcase and started packing. I packed the small case and weighed it. I think that it should be fine. However, I don’t know if it will be fine inside the bigger one with more clothes for me. I may have to take two suitcases…no problem really. 

After 5 pm, I went downstairs and started to put things together for dinner.  F called a bit later than I thought he would, but said he was on his way.  I got many things ready to go but didn’t want to cook anything until he arrived.  Then, when he did arrive he seemed rather insulted that I hadn’t cooked yet.  I was hurt by that. I want to serve hot food, not cold.

I cooked and it was fine, and quite fast. We had pork saute, salad, pumpkin soup, and sautéed mushrooms.  F and K also had rice.  Nobody said much about dinner, I guess it wasn’t much liked. Sigh.

I had the honour of being allowed to clear the table, wash the dishes and dry the dishes all by myself. I was so happy to have the award.  I listened to a couple of podcasts which did make the time go a little faster. 

I went upstairs and there was F lying in bed with the lights off. I suggested going to the store, and the post office for me, but he wasn’t interested. Around 9 pm he perked up a little and asked if I’d like to go now. I said no, I was going to watch Sherlock.  Then at 10 pm when I was gathering my pyjamas and my towel to go downstairs for my shower he asked if I was ready to go to the store. I wasn’t. There’s not much for dinner tomorrow. I could do pasta and vegetables probably or whatever, but I’m not sure that I really want to do anything! It might sound mean, but I do have other things that are more important to do. 

F’s neck is bothering him right now, and he thinks he’s getting a cold. Neither thing is good, the cold is the scariest for me as I’m travelling and who wants to be sick while they travel? NOT ME. That’s who.

I watched a bit of TV after my shower and have been trying to get things ready for my trip. Tomorrow is my last full day here so I need to finish packing and deciding what to take with me and what to leave. I need lots of luck with that!

That’s it for me today. Come back later if you like and see what I get up to. I will probably blog tomorrow night, but if I don’t, I’ll catch you from the other side of the Pacific! Until tomorrow….
