Monday - Sunny but very windy
I did wake up when F left for work but managed to stay in bed and fall back asleep. I got up with my alarm and watched the news. After that, I got myself out of bed and dressed and even grabbed breakfast early. I made the executive decision not to do laundry today, so I relaxed and watched a movie that I had recorded on the weekend. It was Charlie Says and it was about three of the women in Charles Manson’s cult, the ones that were found guilty of committing murder. It was a good film if a bit of a downer.
I had a fairly quiet day around the house. I stayed upstairs most of the time, K stayed downstairs.
F called me after 5 pm and I went down to start dinner. I was quite busy tonight. I did a stir-fry with eggplant and onion, a curried potatoes dish and tandori chicken in the toaster oven. It isn’t “real” tandori at all, but it is a safe Japanese version of it. We also had salad with it. I had asked F to make the rice for him and his mother but he didn’t.
After F came back to the house, I don’t really know what he did. He said he was busy, but he didn’t even change his clothes so I wasn’t too pleased with him. I’ve asked him to change his clothes when he comes back from work to lower the risk of him bringing anything with him, but he just doesn’t. Not sure why.
Anyway, dinner was good and got good reviews from K. F didn’t say much, but he did eat everything. When I was clearing the table, I asked F to help with the dishes because there were a lot tonight and he threw a tantrum. He wanted to go to the onsen tonight and thought he’d miss being able to go. I had asked him if they’d changed their hours and he said they hadn’t, then told me they were closing an hour early. Okay….
I cleared the living room table and even K helped by bringing the glasses through for me. I really think she wanted her table cleared off, but it was nice to have a little help. I thought about waiting for F to do the dishes, but decided that I’d start them and he could take over when he arrived. He didn’t show up at all. I washed dishes until the drainer was full, then dried them and so on. I was down to the last pan when F finally made an appearance and then immediately left the kitchen.
I finished the dishes, put the plastic garbage back out to be taken out in the morning and then came upstairs. F was in bed. I was speechless and quite annoyed. I got the story from him a little later. He’d had an upset stomach when he’d run off and was really feeling quite bad. It was a good thing that he hadn’t gone to the onsen, but I am really getting tired of being the only person that cleans up after meals. I don’t often ask him for help, but I had made a special effort with tonight’s dinner and there was a lot of washing up to be done. I cleaned the stove, of course, some of the marks on there were from me tonight, but most of them were from him and his mother boiling their pans over. For some reason, F thinks he is immune from cleaning his ramen spills. He didn’t do it at our apartment either.
F is now debating whether to go to work tomorrow or not. I’ve told him if he isn’t working he has to go to the doctor. I’m sure he won’t listen to me, but he’s been sick off and mostly on for a few weeks with his stomach and I’m tired of it. We need to know what is happening. Well, I do!
That’s it for me for tonight. Come back later if you like and see what happens next. Until tomorrow….
