Thursday - Rainy

I woke up this morning to an empty room. For some reason, I hadn’t woken up when F left and my heater wasn’t on. It wasn’t terribly cold in the room, but it wasn’t that warm either.

I watched my shows, went downstairs for breakfast and ate that, and a little later had a nap. I haven’t had one since I came back from Canada, but I had the need today.

In the afternoon I did a few things on my computer but didn’t accomplish anything I really wanted to do. F texted me and said that he’d be away tomorrow night at a party…I told him it was okay, but I needed to get in something for K and me to eat. He also asked about his mother, but at that point, I hadn’t seen her all day. A little while later I heard her bumping around downstairs.

I realized when I was watching some of my telly off the DVR that I could probably make something for dinner if F was okay with it. We had kimchi, pork and onions so I could make buta-tama-kimchi. When he called I offered to make it and he said it was okay. He’d bought the pork for another dish, but he’d bought a lot so there would be leftovers.

I went downstairs and started putting things together for dinner. After F arrived, I cooked it and it turned out rather well. We had a simple meal with rice, buta-tama-kimchi, salad, miso soup for the others and some pickles. Most of the food disappeared, and it was nice. I cleared the table and F showed up and helped me do the dishes. After he left the room I cleaned the stove off because it had been a while I think.

We talked about going out for a coffee but I really wanted to be back before 9:00 pm to catch the last Harry Potter movie. F procrastinated but eventually, we went out. I didn’t think we’d make it back in time, but we had our nice frappuccinos quickly and parked the car back at his house at 8:57pm. Safe!

We watched the last film in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2. It was great. I really have enjoyed watching it night after night. It was on TV all the time over Christmas and New Year in Canada, but seeing all the films in order was really great fun.

I did some knitting while I was watching and have finally just started casting off my cowl. I’ve been working on this thing for the last 4? years, so I’ll be glad to get it off my needles. I’d like to make another hat to go with it, I’ll see if I can find a pattern that I like. I might just use the same pattern as last time and hope for the best, we’ll see how it goes!

And that was my day pretty much. F and I have been getting on quite well tonight. He’s decided not to go to his party tomorrow night. I’ve been trying to tell him to go, but he insists that he doesn’t want to. As long as he knows that I’m not making him stay away, that’s all I care about.

Come back later if you like and see what I get up to on Friday. Until tomorrow….
