Tuesday - Sunny and warm

I went to bed a little earlier than I have been lately and woke up before my alarm went off this morning. I went downstairs, came back upstairs and watched the news. I didn’t stay awake though, I did fall asleep after the news finished. I didn’t sleep for long though.

I got up and got dressed. I spent some time on my computer and then I took another nap! For a few minutes anyway.

I went downstairs and grabbed my lunch. When I came upstairs I started catching up on weekend TV and then my phone rang. F was on his way here!  He had some deliveries or something in the area.

He came and relaxed for a while. I continued eating my lunch but chatted a bit with my husband. I made him a cup of tea which he drank quickly and then left.  

I had a quiet afternoon.  I did some of my computer pastimes and watched the news at 4pm.  F called around 5:20 and said that he was on his way back. Early!

I went downstairs a few minutes later and started on dinner. Today I made a pickled/savoury cucumber dish, steamed carrots and sautéed teriyaki chicken. We had a salad with that too, plus F and K had rice as well. I wasn’t into the rice thing.  

There wasn’t much left over at the end. I put aside a piece of chicken and a few carrots for K’s lunch tomorrow. 

I did the dishes, listening to the news and then more of Persuasion. I am really enjoying listening to my Jane Austen. It really does make the time pass quickly and is so enjoyable.  

I came upstairs and F came upstairs after me.  I relaxed for a bit and then F disappeared for a bit. I thought he took a shower, but he didn’t. He made himself some ramen. Egads. 

I went downstairs to take my shower, went into the kitchen to turn up the water temperature and noticed that F had (as usual) boiled over his pot on the stove and hadn’t cleaned it up. I had left the kitchen sink clean and the stove too, now it was trashed. I was quite upset.  

I took my shower but when I got upstairs, F was asleep, so I couldn’t really tell him off. Grr! It is so annoying. He never cleans up properly after himself. 

And that’s it for my day. I had a pretty good day, it was just a bit quiet. Unfortunately, I didn’t work on my column at all. I have to get cracking on it as the big holidays start next week. Yikes!

Come back later if you like and read how my Wednesday goes. Until tomorrow….
