Thursday - Sunny and warm

I got up this morning around 8. It was really hard to drag myself out of bed today. I guess I should have gone to bed earlier!

I got dressed quite early on. I was a bit nervous in case K decided to pay me a visit. She didn’t. I’m not sure if she even remembers what she was on about the other day. 

I had a quiet morning and then went downstairs around 12 to get a start on dinner. For the next hour or so I cut up some veggies and filled up my slow cooker. After the veggies were done, I took the skin off some chicken and I put it into the soup too. I set it on low and left it. Done!

I went upstairs and relaxed for a bit, then went downstairs again and grabbed my lunch. I came back upstairs and ate. I watched an episode of The Walking Dead too. It was a scary/sad one as a lot of nice people died. I did a little work as well too. I planned a lesson for Tuesday and I made up a quiz for my students. Bah ha ha ha!

I watched the news and then went downstairs and started putting dinner together. Tonight I fried some eringi mushrooms, cut some French bread and made toast, and added a can of corn to the soup. I also shredded the chicken too. I mixed up the salad with the noodle mix and then set the table. I got F to come down and he got K up before he disappeared for a few minutes! I served the soup and we also had a choice of mugicha or iced coffee. Dinner was good. I had my mushrooms on toast and ate that with my soup. I liked my soup, but no one but me wanted seconds. Boo!

After dinner, I listened to my podcasts while I did the dishes. It took a while and I was really tired afterwards. I had let F know that we needed to pick up a few things, so after I finished the dishes, I went upstairs and changed. F came up a few minutes later and then we left.

I didn’t want to go to MaxValu again and it was too late to go all the way over to our usual grocery store, so we went to the closer branch. It was a good plan as it wasn’t too busy and it had a few things left in the deli department. F picked up some onigiri for his breakfast and something for K too. I got stuff for tomorrow’s meal and my lunch too, so that was good.

We came back to the house and just relaxed. F fell asleep fairly early and yes, I’m still up! I watched a couple of shows on Apple TV and then switched to YouTube. 

That’s about it for me. Tomorrow I’m going to try and get started on my next column and maybe try and get another episode of The Walking Dead off my DVR. I’ll be cooking dinner again and trying to avoid my MIL as much as possible!

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