Friday - Cold, Rainy, Snowy

I went to bed a little late last night and slept really well. I got up a little later than I planned this morning, went downstairs and then came and watched the news from my bed. I watched the other news from earlier too. I didn’t end up taking a nap and got up earlier than I usually do. Woot.

I did a load of laundry and spent a quiet day upstairs by myself. I never really ran into K at all today. 

I went downstairs and made my lunch. K wasn’t around but I made her a tortilla sandwich too. I made avocado, chicken and bacon wraps for both of us and they were amazing in my opinion! I wrapped hers and left it on the kitchen table for her. 

I brought my lunch upstairs and ate. I watched a bit of news after 4 and waited for F to be finished work.  When he did finish, he called to say he was going to the cell phone company. He’d received an email saying that he needed to pay for our cell phone today by Apple Cards. I told him that it was a phishing email, but he wanted to check it out. Fair enough, just glad that he didn’t pay them first and then check it out!

I came downstairs around 6 pm and turned on the outside light. F had ordered sushi for us all for dinner, but we weren’t sure when the guy would show up. I did my dishes and a little while later, F came back to the house. The cellphone company told him the same thing I did, so yay.  

A little after he arrived, the sushi delivery happened. I had a mask handy, so I dealt with the guy while F gave me the money. 

It took a few minutes to get the table set up. I did get a very little bit of help from F, but not much. We ate our sushi and it was very nice. We also had soup and chawanmushi. It was all good. 

Unfortunately, no one was available to help me clean up so I did that. I wasn’t too pleased. I was glad that I didn’t let F order the things for us that he wanted to. If he had, I would have had to do MORE work!

I popped my head in the living room and said I was done when I finished. I went upstairs. I noticed that In Her Shoes was on tonight so I watched the end of that. As always, I enjoyed it. I loved the book, should really try and reread it sometime.

After that movie finished, another one started, Book Club. I hadn’t heard of it, but I was drawn in. It wasn’t the greatest film ever, but it was funny and the actresses (and a few actors) were great and having fun. I enjoyed it.

I took a shower at 11:00pm and then came upstairs. I relaxed with some YouTube and my end-of-day stuff. 

Tomorrow we’ll be a little busy I think. In the morning we have a doctor’s appointment and hopefully, in the afternoon or evening, we’ll go over to the mall to do a spot of Christmas shopping and see the new movie. Wish us luck. The weather is also quite bad at the moment, it’s snowing now and might all weekend. Yuck.

Oh, here’s the Advent Calendar picture for today. Can you figure out which is the newest building?

December 17th's Advent Calendar update. Today's new building is near the middle on the left side. It's the building that has a bridge between it and another building that goes over the road underneath it.

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