Monday - Rainy and snowy
I had a fairly quiet day today, and not in a good way. I got up when I should and found a mess downstairs that I had to clean up. I wasn’t pleased about that.
I came back upstairs and did my watching of news from the bed, then finally got up and watched other stuff. I grabbed my breakfast around 10 and I also did a couple of loads of laundry today. Yay for me. I didn’t see much of K until the afternoon. I heard the TV occasionally, so she got up for a while, but I’m not sure what she’s doing. I think she’s trying to save money by staying in bed. Whatever. I grabbed F's jeans again and did one last line of stitches. When I looked at the pictures I had taken of the repair, it really bothered me that my last line was missing. I did a short line across and I feel better about the mending!
I did a couple of Postcrossing cards in the late afternoon. In fact, it was really too late to start, but I decided to do it anyway. F called around 5:30 to say he was on his way back, so I went downstairs and started to get dinner ready.
I was making Gapao Rice for the first time. I’d bought the ground chicken yesterday and had a spice packet from a few months ago. It went together fairly well, but I waited for F to arrive before I really did any cooking. It was quite easy really.
I was supposed to fry eggs for the top of the meat, and I did. However, one of them I cracked on the stove and it didn’t make it into the pan. It glopped all over the stove of course and I had to clean it up. F was no help at all, in fact, he left the room. Probably a wise choice. Finally, everything came together and F came back. We took the food out to the living room and all of us ate. It was nice.
F helped by doing the dishes, but he used his own methods to do it. I don’t approve of his methods, to put it nicely. He washed glasses and spoons first, but then put the metal part from the stove in the water before washing other dishes. He even left me one of the pans when he vanished near the end of his helping me.
I went upstairs when I finished in the kitchen and F was in bed. He said he was dizzy and couldn’t go out. That’s fine except we don’t have food for tomorrow night and we don’t have kerosene either. He may or may not be going to work tomorrow. Honestly, I don’t want him to drive or go to work if he’s feeling under the weather, but I really want him to talk to one of his many doctors about this. It is not a good thing.
Since there wasn’t going to be a trip out of the house for me tonight, I decided to do more Postcrossings. I requested three more names, so wrote out three cards, making it a total of five for the day. I’ll scan them tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll be able to mail them too.
F had a cup of tea from me, but went to bed and is snoozing away. I’m glad as he stays up a bit late at times.
I’ve watched some TV and I did the postcards so I kept myself busy today. I also prepared the plastic garbage to go out in case he does go to work tomorrow.
And that’s it. It was a quiet day. I’m hoping that F will feel better in the morning. Come back later if you like and see what happens. Until tomorrow….
