Tuesday - Hot and sunny
I had a bit of a hard time getting to sleep last night. F couldn’t sleep and he sat up in bed for a while with a light on. I managed to fall asleep but he woke me up in the morning too. I did fall back asleep then.
I had a fairly quiet day today. I didn’t do any laundry today, I didn’t watch too much on TV, just a bit of YouTube. To be honest, it was hot, but there was a breeze so I didn’t turn on the AC until quite late. I took a nap between noon and 1. I didn’t sleep for an hour, just part of the time. I went downstairs, grabbed my lunch and then came back upstairs.
During lunch and for a bit afterwards, I watched Executive Decision, the old Kurt Russell film on a plane. I really enjoyed it, but F called in the middle to say he was taking the rest of the afternoon off. I stopped the movie when F appeared.
He came by the house to change and then left to go to the doctor, I watched the news instead.
I watched the news and then the documentary that was on afterwards. It was about the Ringed Ladies of Malaysia. It wasn’t all in English so I missed a bit, but it was fascinating to see such a different style of life from mine.
I went downstairs to start on dinner. F was just back and I checked with him that he did want dinner. He said he did.
Tonight I made “breakfast for dinner” so we had pancakes and bacon with fruit salad for dessert. It was really nice, but the problem with pancakes is that the person making them doesn’t get to eat until all the pancakes are done…unless someone takes turns cooking them and ….well, of course, that would never happen here. It went over quite well. We had some of the pickles from last night on the table and also there were some mini-tomatoes.
F came when I asked and I think he helped a bit. I plunked the glasses on the table with ice in them and the tea bottle and asked him to pour. That was helping, right?
It was all quite friendly except the others were done eating long before I was. F rushed out and upstairs because he wasn’t feeling well again. If he’d given an excuse I’m sure that would be it.
Never mind. I cleared the table, put away any extra food and then did the dishes. I listened to a couple of podcasts so at least I wasn’t bored. To be fair, K doesn’t go to bed while I’m doing the dishes and I appreciate that. Of course, she doesn’t help and I don’t want her to because we have very different styles.
When I finished I went upstairs and stripped off my wet and sweaty clothes. I put on a housedress and relaxed until I felt better. I went over and asked /demanded that F take me out shopping. He acted like he’d never heard of the concept. I reminded him that I told him on Monday that we needed to go out. I reminded him before dinner too, but he doesn’t listen/remember.
We went out to MaxValu and got most of the groceries we needed. I got something for dinner tomorrow night and have decided that I might cook on Thursday night and I might not. It is to be decided.
We came back to the house and I put away the groceries. F wasn’t doing well and went upstairs again.
When I came upstairs I watched Killing Eve, I was just in time for that. I enjoyed it as always. Is it bad of me that the worse Villanelle gets, the more I laugh? Maybe. Afterwards, I went over to talk to F. He’s not having a happy summer. Work is difficult and his health isn’t great. It was nice being with him but he had an earphone in and when I tried to tell him that I have an ankle that hurts when I go down stairs, he didn’t say anything. I don’t think he even heard me.
Tomorrow I have plans for things I want to do, but I have no idea if I’ll get anything accomplished. It is still really hot in the afternoon, tomorrow is supposed to be a scorcher, so we’ll see.
Come back later if you like and find out how my Wednesday goes. Until tomorrow….
