Monday - Rainy and cooler, humid

I woke up at my usual time this morning. I had heard F a little this morning, but he wasn’t too noisy for a change. Yay. I got up, watched the news and relaxed for a while. I got dressed and went downstairs and grabbed my breakfast. 

I wanted to be ready before twelve today because I was expecting a parcel to be delivered before 2pm. I had asked that they redeliver it then. I waited. I didn’t watch TV so that I wouldn’t miss the doorbell. I had the windows open so I would hear any noises outside. I heard a noise and looked out. There was the delivery van and the driver was shutting the door. I ran downstairs, but it was too late. The guy had left another non-delivery notice. Ack! I went upstairs and rebooked delivery between 6 and 8 because I knew I’d be downstairs then.

I had a fairly quiet afternoon. I watched an episode of The Walking Dead, so I’m actually all caught up for now. Tomorrow night there will be two episodes on, but I’m up to date for the moment. Woot. 

I did a brief go-over of my classes for tomorrow. I also got told that I’d be teaching at the house for a little longer.  Covid19 is booming in this area, so it probably is a good thing that I’ll be staying here instead of going in to work. Not as much fun though. 

F called after 5 and I asked him to bring some cabbage for dinner. He said he would. A little while later, he arrived, but the poor guy could barely walk. His back seems to have gone out again. I took the cabbage and cut it up.  Tonight we were having hoikoro, a sort of Chinese dish with pork, cabbage, carrots and green peppers with a thick sauce. I got a couple of kits at the grocery store on Sunday. Anyway, I started to put it together and it was nearly finished when I heard the delivery man at the door. I went to the door and signed for my envelope. My ballot for the next Canadian election had arrived! Woot.

I finished dinner and got it put out on the table. I called F down and then we all ate. We had hoikoro, salad, and okra, plus F and K had a bit of rice. Dinner was pretty good, except F didn’t eat very much. He’s on a lose-weight kick which I wish him well on, just am afraid that he’ll be too hungry at times.

He went out for a walk and I did the dishes. It didn’t take as long as usual, mostly because I hadn’t used that many pots and pans. I listened to my podcasts and then just as I was finishing up, F came back. 

I went upstairs, as did F. He took a shower and a bit later I did too. We did have a few words about a bill that hasn’t been paid yet. F swears it will all turn out okay, but I’m a bit worried about it as it will affect me more than him. 

I watched The Good Wife and did a little crochet through it. It was a good episode tonight, they always are though. 

And that’s about it for my night. Come back later if you like and hear all about my Tuesday. Until tomorrow….
