Thursday - Rainy, humid, thunder & lightning and then clear…repeat during the day


I woke up this morning when F got up but stayed in bed. I got up before my alarm but decided to sleep a little longer. I woke up but stayed in bed because I just wanted to relax for a bit. I did the Facebook thing and surfed the BBC New app too. 


I got up a bit later and then did a load of laundry. I also grabbed my breakfast and came back upstairs. I watched a bit of TV from the DVR, so today I saw quite a bit. I watched my show from last night, the last Project Runway and then 2, count them, 2 episodes of The Walking Dead!  Surprisingly, I watched them in the wrong order, but happily, they didn’t cover the same characters so it didn’t cause me any problems. 


Today I got something good in the mail. I received my coupons to get my vaccinations.  Finally! I’ve been waiting for ages. F says that I can’t really book anything until after August 5th, but I’m thinking about checking in with one of our doctors this weekend to see if I can get on a list or something. 


I went downstairs just before 6 pm to get started on dinner. I checked with F to see if he wanted dinner tonight but he didn’t. Oh well. At least he told me.  


I got busy making dinner. I simplified it quite a bit and then found a new recipe. Tonight I made mashed carrots. If I knew where my hand blender was I could have made them a little smoother, but I don’t. I haven’t seen it in 4 years. We had salad, rice, miso soup, garlic chicken, mashed carrots and a few radishes. 


After dinner, I did the dishes and then I went upstairs. F had been downstairs earlier and he grabbed his dinner. He was in my way all the time! Then again, I probably was in his too.


F and I went out to get gas for the car. Earlier today I had suggested that we get bentos for dinner on Friday. I told F that I am getting quite tired of cooking full meals in this heat and then doing all the clean-up myself. He wasn’t too happy about the idea, but he doesn’t help at all and half the time he won’t even eat what I cook. If he orders bentos for us, we can all get what we want to eat. Because I want to do this, I didn’t have to go to the grocery store tonight. For some reason, F just sailed past the gas station. I asked him where he wanted to go and he said the grocery store. Ack! I told him I didn’t need to go there and so he ended up turning around and going to the gas station. 


On the way back to the house we stopped into the convenience store and got some ice cream and an iced cafe latte for me. I know, crazy to have at night, but I wanted one for ages. It was good too.


F watched the Olympics and I watched some YouTube and some Apple TV. I think I must have caught up with some of the programmes that I watched because I couldn’t get them to play the next episode! I did a little bit of crochet tonight and had to wind another ball of yarn for next time. Woot!


And basically, that was my day. F has fallen asleep and I really should get to bed soon too if I don’t want him cranky tomorrow. I did work on my column a little bit, but I have to finish tomorrow because the deadline is Sunday. 


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