Thursday - Sunny but cool
Today didn’t get off to a good start. I woke up before seven and went downstairs. I came back up and went back to sleep. However, F woke me up around 7:30 to ask where my iron was. Huh? Someone had forgotten to hang up his laundry last night and he wanted to iron his uniform so he could wear it today! I got it for him, turned it on for him, and gave him a towel to use as a cover on the mattress. He proceeded to turn the iron upside down and the water spilled out all over my towel and my quilt cover. I got a bit annoyed and then he accused me of being cranky. Well, dude, you woke me up at 7:30, you made me get my iron for you and then you spill water everywhere. Which one isn’t a reason?
He finally left for work and I went back to sleep. I changed my alarm so I could sleep a little longer. I finally got up and did a load of laundry and had breakfast.
Around 12:30 I sent F a text to say that I hoped his day was going better than the morning did. He texted back that it was, so that was good. I haven’t sent any texts to him lately for fun, I should do more of that!
I had a quiet afternoon here. I watched the news and then went downstairs and got a start on dinner. Tonight I was making pasta and I also steamed some broccoli too. F likes to have it cold with mayonnaise so I steamed the broccoli in the pasta pan and then used the water from that to cook the pasta in. It worked out rather well. We had salad, broccoli, pork sausages, and yuzu-flavoured pasta and it was nice.
I did the clean-up, listening to the news and P&P. I’m nearly done the novel. I’ll have to try and find another novel to listen to. I’ve really been enjoying Kate Beckinsale’s version of Pride and Prejudice.
F wasn’t feeling very well for a while, but after a bit, he rallied himself and we went to the grocery store for tomorrow’s dinner. I decided to make gapao rice from a Japanese roux mix. This version calls for pork, so I bought some ground pork. We got a few other things for dinner and then came back to the house. I put the groceries away and came upstairs.
Tonight I did something that I haven’t done in more than 3 months. I wrote a couple of postcards for Postcrossing. I’ve let it slide a bit lately. It isn’t that I don’t want to send cards, it's that I never seem to have enough time. I’ve done a lot of crochet or cooking lately, it eats up so much of my time. The cards are going to Austria and the US. I’ll have to try and send them tomorrow or on the weekend.
I watched Blindspot. I think we are down to the last one or two episodes now. It’s time for it to end. I like the female characters, but the alpha male lead is not a good actor in my humble opinion. I did do a little bit of crochet during the episode, but not a lot. Still, a little is better than none.
And that was it for my day. F is sleeping. and I am quite tired and need some sleep too. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
