Wednesday - Warmer and mostly clear

I woke up this morning when F was getting dressed. I don’t think he was noisier than usual, but he woke me up! I went downstairs and then went back to bed. I told him to call me if he needed help with the snow. He didn’t call. 

I went back to sleep for a while. I had a very odd morning. I overslept, but finally dragged myself out of bed. I watched Fleabag and then grabbed breakfast. I didn’t go out for a while, but around 1 I went outside to do a little snow removal. It wasn’t as awful outside as yesterday was, so I got a lot of snow moved, at least that’s what my arms said!

I went back in the house and made myself lunch. I hadn’t seen K all day, and didn’t for hours to be honest. I would hear her downstairs once in a while though.

I had a quiet afternoon. I watched part of Broken Arrow today. It has been years since I saw it. As always, I thought how over the top John Travolta was, but I also enjoyed some of the John Woo touches. I hope to finish it tomorrow.

I didn’t get any of my column written today, but I have been thinking about it. I will try and do some of it tomorrow. Course, I said that about today too.

I went downstairs around 5:30 to start dinner. I got busy. I washed and cut up some eggplants, some mushrooms and put them aside. I panfried some chichimi and put the pieces in the toaster oven to keep warm. When F called to say he was on the way, I started cooking the eggplant and the meat for dinner. When F arrived, everything was just about ready.  

We had a nice dinner. There was a salad from the store, the chichimi, the eggplant-mushroom stirfry, and the pork. For K and F, there were mini-tomatoes and rice too. 

At the end of the meal I asked F if he was going to go to the onsen and he said he’d go right away. He didn’t invite his mother, because he wanted to go right away. He left and I got stuck into the dishes.

K asked me halfway through where F was. I didn’t really know what to say so I told her that he had gone for a drive, but she didn’t understand. Of course, she stayed up until he got back!

I came upstairs and had barely sat down to relax when F arrived. The heater hadn’t even started working yet. He was glad that he had gone.

I took a shower tonight and then came back upstairs. I watched New Amsterdam and ended up in tears as I so often am at that show. I really like it, can’t you tell?

I’m now watching the Inauguration Ceremony via a livestream on YouTube. It’s much easier than on TV. I can keep my earphones on and not disturb my hubby. It’s been a good event so far. I’m so pleased to have people who can make sentences and seem kind in charge of the government of the US. 

Anyway, that’s it for me. It was rather a busy day, once I got out of bed!

Come back later if you will and read all about my Thursday. Until tomorrow….
