Wednesday - Sunny, Warmer, then Rain and Thunder

I didn’t go to bed until terribly late this morning, but I had set my alarm for 9:30, so woke up then. I went downstairs and after a few minutes I checked outside. There wasn’t much snow, but the snowplough had been through overnight and had left a small wall at the road. I knew that F would be back soonish, so I wanted to clear it for him. 

I dressed to go out and then as I was putting on my boots, K came along and told me I didn’t need to shovel snow. Just then F FaceTimed me so I told him I was going out to shovel snow. He was  leaving Sakata on his way back. 

I went outside into the sun. It was the warmest that it has been in days, up around 0.  Yay. It actually was quite nice to clear snow this morning. 

When I was done, I went inside again and a little later F came back. He didn’t feel like going out, he took to his bed and basically stayed there for hours. I was rather disappointed. I had hoped to go out or do something but he was in bad shape from the night before. He slept for a while.

I grabbed some lunch around 2 pm because F basically refused to go out. He had made his mother some food, but I was on my own. Oh well. I had lunch and liked it, and then I took a bit of a nap too. 

Later on, F got a couple of visitors. His family from the farm came and dropped off something, and then his brother in law came to see about the hot water tank. F says he’s going to get a new one. 

In the afternoon I spent some time on Amazon looking for things to go in my air fryer. Most people in my air fryer group suggest using silicon mats or little baskets for some kinds of food, so I put them on my wishlist. I’ve never done that before! I sent my wishlist to F and told him that I would like to get these items. I didn’t think he’d buy them right away, but he did! Yay.

I reminded him that K would need some food soon, and so would I.  We decided to go and get her a bento and then decide where we’d like to go. I got dressed to go out and then we headed out. 

We got a few things at the local grocery store and then came back to the house to give it to K. I put my purchases away and then F and I headed towards the car. It was raining so I was rushing. I slipped on a piece of slate that is on the ground and ended up on my knees in the mud and slush.  I had to go back inside and change my trousers as mine were soaked. Bah humbug. My knees aren’t too happy and I have a big bruise coming in on my leg. 

Finally back downstairs, I put my boots back on and went out a lot more carefully to the car. F and I went to an udon restaurant. It’s kind of a fast food place but it isn’t too bad. I had Niku Udon which is meat udon, plus a couple of pieces of tempura. F had a plainer udon and some tempura too.  The food was good and we enjoyed our meal. 

After we ate we drove to Komeda Coffee and had a cup of coffee. I just didn’t want to go back to the house yet. We stayed for a while with our decaf and then came back to the house. 

F went to bed almost immediately. I stayed up and even took a shower. For some reason, the hot water is working again. I didn’t want to stress the heater out, so I took a fast shower and even stopped the water while I was lathering my hair. 

I spent the rest of the evening writing email and blogging. There were a few YouTube videos too!

Not sure what we’re going to get up to tomorrow. I’ve asked that we go to a movie, but no idea if F will be up to it. 

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