Thursday - Cool and a bit drizzly…I didn’t go out.
I woke up with my alarm this morning and after I came back upstairs, I watched the news as usual. After that, I started a movie I’d taped overnight, Snow White and the Huntsman. I had seen it before and it wasn’t good, it still isn’t. I got dressed a bit early so was able to go downstairs to grab breakfast a little early.
I ate breakfast and stopped the movie to try and watch another movie that was on TV. It was also not good. I ended up watching from the bed, then fell asleep for a while. I’d set my alarm but slept through the rest of the movie. The kicker? The film was called The Curse of Sleeping Beauty! Maybe the curse was it was so boring that the audience falls asleep? This audience member did!
I had a quiet day up here. I didn’t do laundry, I should have but didn’t. I went downstairs to prepare my lunch and got a call from F. He said he was bringing a co-worker by and would I please prepare some coffee and snacks for them? In 19 years of marriage, this has never happened before! I did make the coffee, but there weren’t any snacks. I finished making my lunch and went upstairs to eat it, leaving F with his co-worker and mother!
I went downstairs after 5 pm to start working on dinner. I made more kabocha salad, defrosted the shrimp, plated some beets, basically did a whole lot of work in the kitchen. When F came in we said hello, he went upstairs to change I thought but didn’t come back down again. I was still busy and was putting things on the table and just generally wondering when he was going to come and help. He didn’t.
I finally called him to come down and told him if he wanted rice he’d have to make it. I didn’t see the need in all honestly. There was a lot of food and rice is something I can definitely leave behind me.
I had the plates stacked on the table and when F came in he made his rice, then put the other plates out on the table. He put one of them into a glob of mayo that I hadn’t had time to clear off the table and I was a tad annoyed at him. I cleaned the plate and he stormed off. He said he couldn’t eat. Once again I had to eat alone with his mother. And do all the cleanup. Oh, what fun. There wasn’t too much cleanup tonight luckily so it didn’t take all that long. Not long enough really.
When I went upstairs I asked F if we could go out to get groceries. He said yes. I got into some clothes for going out. Then he said he couldn’t go out. Eye roll. I told him it was fine (it isn’t) and that I wouldn’t be able to cook dinner tomorrow night. I have no salad, no main dish, so get stuffed dude.
We had a fairly quiet night. He tried to sleep, but got up and ate a bunch of the food I cooked around 10 pm. I watched Saturday’s Downton Abbey (Carson's wedding) and then took a shower. We’ve been fairly friendly, but I’m getting tired of being a (figurative) prisoner at this house.
Not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be a little warmer and a little better, so I might go out for lunch or to pick something up for dinner. If I’m feeling generous. Not sure I will be.
Come back later if you want and see what happens. Until tomorrow….
