Friday - Cold and snowy

This was an odd Christmas! F and I exchanged our presents last night, just after midnight. That was very nice and I’m glad we did that. 

This morning I woke up before my alarm, went downstairs and then came back and snoozed a little longer. I watched the news and then joined in a Zoom meeting for Christmas that my women’s group was having. That was really nice. 

I had a very quiet day. I watched Two Weeks Notice with Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. It was about as not good as I remembered and Donald Trump was in it. Major eye rolls happening while I watched that. It was an okay rom-com, but not a particularly brilliant one.

During the day I got a message from F that he had to work really late. He had to go to a place near Mt. Gassan and stay there until 1 am. Yikes. He wouldn’t be able to come back for dinner and obviously wouldn’t be able to pick up our cake or chicken for dinner. Sigh. He called the companies, the chicken was no problem, but the cake we’ll have to get tomorrow. 

I spent the day quite quietly. I watched a bit of TV, I went downstairs at 5:30 to start cooking dinner for K and I. I decided not to have the nice Christmassy food tonight, but rather keep it for tomorrow. I took some of the frozen food out of the freezer and heated that up instead. I keep the food there for just this kind of thing. 

Dinner was ready fairly quickly and it was decent. The burgers had a nice sauce, the pasta was good and the pilaf was delicious too. Doing dishes was fast and I enjoyed the podcasts I was listening to. 

I came back upstairs and watched John Wick for a bit, took a shower then watched The Good Wife. After it finished, I watched the rest of John Wick. It was okay. I’d seen it before. I had a nice FaceTime visit with my sister and her family in Canada. It was lovely to see everyone.

Around 2 K called me downstairs to find out if I’d heard from F. I hadn’t at that stage. I wasn’t worried about him, I knew it would take a long time to get back here.  Apparently, she called him after talking to me. 

F arrived here after 3 am. He was tired and a bit hungry. We hugged, chatted for a bit and he’s off making himself some ramen. I can’t really blame him. It’s late and I’m not going to cook a meal now. I did offer to help him heat up some of the leftovers, but he hasn’t wanted them so far.

I’m not sure what will happen tomorrow, but I’m hoping we’ll have our Nibbly Buffet for dinner tomorrow. Come back and see if we do. 

Until tomorrow….
