Monday - Sunny but clear. Thunderstorms at night.
I woke up early this morning, went downstairs and went back to sleep. I ended up oversleeping of course but did drag myself out of bed eventually. I had breakfast and got on with my day. I watched some TV from the weekend and decided that I really should start printing my nengajo. Of course, it took a while to get started.
It was lunchtime before I was ready to start printing, so I grabbed my lunch and came back upstairs. After I finished eating, I printed a few cards, somewhere around 10 I would say.
I watched the news and then a bit after it was over, went downstairs to start dinner. You’d think that because I went down before F called I’d be prepared and ready. I wasn’t! Earlier in the day, I had prepared a marinade for the pork, so that was fine, but I decided to follow a recipe I found online for roasted veggies. I cut up two potatoes, a carrot and an onion, mixed a little olive oil with them, and a few herbs and roasted them in my air fryer. I may have overcrowded them because they took ages to cook and didn’t get as crispy as I had hoped. Still, they were good!
We didn’t really eat until just before 8pm. I felt bad because I wanted to be earlier, but the veggies just weren’t ready. Everything was good though and most of it disappeared. I had to take the food off the table or K would have eaten it all. I wouldn’t have minded, but I planned to keep some for her lunch the next day.
I did the dishes and put everything away. I cleaned up the stove too. F and his mother make messes all weekend and never clean it up. When F makes his ramen, he lets the pan boil over and again, never cleans it up. I don’t know what he is thinking.
F and I went out briefly tonight. The battery in my mouse had run down and we couldn’t find any more to replace it. We went to the closest grocery store and got some, plus some food for him and his mother.
Soon after we got back, I took my shower and then he took his. I watched The Good Wife which is going at a cracking pace now and is really funny at times. F went to bed after his shower. He thinks there is something wrong with the water heater as our showers weren’t very hot tonight. Even I wanted it hotter which is a bit odd.
And that’s about it for now. I addressed and stamped a couple of Christmas cards for people in Japan. F has a mailbox outside his office, I’ve asked him to drop the cards in the box for me.
Tomorrow I have work, but I haven’t as yet sorted out what I’m going to wear to go there, but since I don’t have a lot of choices, it’ll work itself out!
Oh, and here is the Advent Calendar for today. Our little town is nearly full! Only 5 more days…

| The latest building is on the right side. It's quite large, about halfway up the picture near the side edge and is a Tudor-style building. |
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
