Monday - Hot and Sunny

A pretty good day.

I first woke up at 6:30. F was talking to me and saying that he didn’t want to go to work today because he didn’t feel good. I mumbled something and went back to sleep. When my alarm went off over an hour later he was gone. I actually sent him a text later to find out if he was at work or at the doctor's office. At work. He’d remembered that he’d taken Friday off, so went to work today.

I had a bit of a lazy morning but got moving around 10. I took my yarn downstairs and washed it and rinsed it. I hung it up in the garage as F said it wouldn’t matter if the yarn dripped on the floor. 

I came back in and grabbed breakfast, then came upstairs again for a little bit of American Idol and then Fleabag. I really enjoyed it. I think that’s the second or third time I’ve seen the second series. I enjoyed it.

I made my lunch and a couple of pots of tea for later. I used one of my new teas that I bought in Yamagata. I made Lemon Pie tea. I came back upstairs with my lunch.  I watched a bit of Lord of the Rings but didn’t really get stuck into it. I turned over to the news at 4 pm.

I watched the news and then went downstairs around 5:30. I got a bit of a start on dinner and F called to say he was on his way. I had already started the chicken marinating in the tandori paste, then I worked on the vegetables. I made an eggplant stirfry again and also some okra cooked in the microwave. F actually helped a little bit with dinner and even washed the dishes afterwards. I was really pleased. It made my evening so much easier.

I did a few things in the kitchen, like make more tea and cleaned up a few things. Then I came upstairs. F asked if I wanted to go out tonight. I didn’t really need to, but he wanted something so said I’d go along for the ride. We went to the closest drugstore, but it was closed. We went to our usual one and picked up a few things. I had a discount coupon and used it, so that made things nice. We came back to the house and had a relaxing evening. I even wrote two Postcards for Postcrossing. Woot! First time in ages. 

F has gone to sleep I think, and I’d like to get to bed soon too. This heat really takes a lot of my energy. I am glad that I did things today, I didn’t just hang around and wait for other people. I need to do more and remember how nice it feels to have a few things done at the end of the day. 

Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
