Thursday - Sunny and warm, a little muggy

I woke up in surprise when my alarm went off this morning. I didn’t think it was morning already!

I got up, did some of my usual stuff, but went on my computer quickly as I had to do a bit of posting on the group I moderate. After that, I went back to bed to watch the news.

I had an okay but quiet morning today. I had breakfast, I didn’t see K for most of the day. I couldn’t really get myself motivated to do anything for a while, so I watched YouTube and caught up with my computer groups and such.

I brought up my lunch and then I put on a movie I’d recorded, Skyscraper. It was a bit of a DieHard wannabe, but to be honest, I enjoyed it. I like Dwayne Johnson, he does have presence. It was undemanding, which was what I wanted. While I was watching that, I did a bit of work on the mask I’m making. It’s close to being done, but I have a couple things to do yet.  

I went downstairs to start dinner around 5:30 when F called to say he was on the way. I was making something due to expire today, so it was about time I think!  When F came back I got him to go over the method with me. It was fine and I understood what to do. I told him dinner would probably be in 20 to 30 minutes so he disappeared. 

I got things nearly ready. I was putting things on the table and trying to get early things done early. I finally gave a yell to F and asked him if he’d come and help me. I wanted him to make the miso soup. We usually use instant. It’s dead easy, but I didn’t have hands free for it. I’d boiled the water for it, I needed the packets put in the bowls. Which were on the table waiting for him. Next thing I look over and he’s cutting up a negi to put in the soup. I didn’t need that right then. I know he likes it but I don’t. I needed him to HELP ME! 

I put the bibinba rice in our dishes, took the fried eggs out of the fry pan. F did help by carrying two of the dishes to the table, plus the soup so that was good. He tried to start washing dishes, but I asked him not to as there was something I needed in the drainer and I didn’t want to move it just then.

I went out to the table in the living room with my dish of rice and sat down. Then I realized there was no drink on the table. F told me to relax about it. I told him that I couldn’t relax. It’s the truth. He might not have needed the tea, but I did. He certainly didn’t bother getting up to get the glasses out for me. I did it, poured the drinks too for everyone.  I was upset with him for telling me to relax. How the heck can I? I’m constantly expecting him to get into one of his moods. He usually does.

Despite my worries, dinner was pretty good. There’s some leftover for lunch tomorrow (I didn’t put it out so it didn’t get eaten!) However, I got gifted with all of the clean-up again. How nice for me. It took quite a while as I had used quite a few dishes today. It got done while I listened to a couple of podcasts.

I went upstairs when I was done. I was a bit angry when I came upstairs so I couldn’t talk to him at first, not that it would have been welcome anyway. I tried to chill and then went over to talk. I asked if we could go out to get some food for dinner tomorrow. He said it was okay, so off we went.

I picked up a few things at the grocery store and then he asked about ice cream.  I said it was okay, but maybe we should get it at the convenience store on the way back to the house. The grocery store didn’t have any caffeine-free diet cola that I liked. I was trying to replace the bottle that his mother drank from the fridge. In her opinion, it is a free-for-all in the fridge. She drinks/opens/eats anything that she can reach or find. 

On the way back I asked F which convenience store he wanted to go to and he went off on me about how bitchy I am when I cook. I told him that it was because I didn’t get any help. It’s true. His mother sits in the living room and waits to be fed, he’s upstairs watching YouTube videos.  Anyway, he went back to the house a different way than when we came to the grocery store, so there were only 3 convenience stores and 2 of them were the ones I don’t like. We went to the closest to the house and of course, it was the company that I hate. And they didn’t have my drink. I got an ice-cream, so did F, and we came back to the house.

We ate our ice cream fairly soon after, then I took a shower. F took one a bit later too. 

Tomorrow I’m hoping to finish my mask. I really just have to do some pressing, edging and then cutting the elastic for it. I also will have to cook dinner again. I’m not excited about that!

Come back later if you like and hear me whine some more! (Or hopefully not whine….) Until tomorrow….
