Wednesday - Cloudy and cool
Just as I was going to shut down my computer last night there was an earthquake. It didn’t wake up F who was already sleeping, but it was quite shaky for a minute or so. I checked the TV to see where it was….It was off the Iwate coast and thankfully there wasn’t a tsunami. It was only a 2 on the Japanese scale here, so not too bad. It lasted longer than usual. I checked in on Facebook and many of my friends had felt it too and woke up.
This morning, I woke up at 8 and went downstairs quickly. I didn’t see K at all for a change. After yesterday, I was glad about that.
Around 8 am, the backhoe working on the field next to the house started working. They worked for most of the day so the house shook all day and the noise was a constant annoyance.
I did a load of laundry in the morning and grabbed my breakfast. I ate and then hung up my laundry. I had a quiet morning, I didn’t see K. There was one time where I might have bumped into her, but I heard her and stopped!
F took some time off work today and came back early. He picked up my pants from the mall today and also grabbed a salad for us for dinner. Hurray.
When he came back to the house we had a nice meeting and then after a bit, I went downstairs and started work on dinner. Tonight I was cooking some chicken, washed some mini-tomatoes for K, and I also cooked some frozen veggies and some potatoes in hash brown fingers. I was supposed to cook some eringi mushrooms too, but I completely forgot to do that! Oh well, I guess they’ll wait until tomorrow night!
F wasn’t feeling that great when I went downstairs, so I called him when the food was ready. He didn’t answer, so I came upstairs to check on him. He was asleep. I woke him up and then went back downstairs. A few minutes later he texted me to say he wouldn’t come as he was sick. I texted him back and asked him to come down because I didn’t want to be alone with his mother. He came!
We actually had quite a nice meal. The salad that F bought was great and the chicken was good too. most of the food disappeared.
I did the dishes and it didn’t take all that long tonight as I hadn’t used too many pans.
When I finished, F and I went out. I had asked that we go out for coffee or something, just to get out of the house. We also went to the drugstore to pick up some tissues for K and some windshield cleaner for F’s car. We got a few other things too, but nothing big.
We had coffee at Komeda and were there just a little bit less than an hour. It was really nice to get out of the house and relax a bit.
We came back to the house and I did up the kitchen garbage and put it out. After that, I did my garbage in the bedroom and then got F to do his too. l took a shower later on and then came back to the room and watched Grey’s Anatomy. I enjoyed that, even though it was very sad.
And that’s it for my day really. Tomorrow I’m going to try and make chicken soup in my slow cooker. Wish me luck!
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
