Wednesday - Cloudy and cool


I woke up early this morning, sometime around 7:00. F had already left, he had planned to go to the onsen in the morning before work. I went downstairs and then came back upstairs. I went back to bed and of course, I overslept. I just could not get myself out of bed this morning.


When I finally did, I debated about doing laundry but decided not to. I’ll have to do some very soon though. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will do it!


I had a very quiet morning and afternoon. I never did see K at all. I knew she had been up briefly as some food was gone from the kitchen…it was hers, so no worries!


F called around 5:30 to say he was on the way. I reminded him that he needed to get me a few things from the grocery store. He obliged and then came back to the house a bit later.


I used my air fryer twice tonight. First up I made some Brussel sprouts, and then I cooked some French fries. The fries were okay, I need a bit more practice I think. Yum!


While I was putting EVERYTHING out on the table, I got no help as usual. In fact, K was still in bed when I started. The heater wasn’t on in the living room of course, so I checked it and there wasn’t any kerosene in it. I filled it up and started the heater, and turned on the light too. 


I had called F down and as I was taking the bottles of tea out to the living room, I dropped one of them. They are plastic jugs that I got at the hundred yen shop a couple of years ago. Of course, the cap came off the bottle and a bunch of tea came out on the floor. Sigh. You can imagine that everyone got to their feet to help me, right? Not in this house. I put the other bottle on the table and was going to take the other bottle away when F said that he could still drink what was left in it. O—kay…. I had to clean up the mess on the floor. At least it was tea, nothing too disgusting or that would leave a horrible residue. I was just finished cleaning up the spill when F came back into the kitchen with the jug that I dropped. He pointed out the fact that it was broken now. I told him to throw it out. I thought he meant it was cracked and leaking. It wasn’t. There was a hole near the top. I asked him what he wanted me to do with it. I made to throw out the tea but he wanted to drink it. What??? I gave him the jug and said that I didn’t want any of it. 


Dinner was okay but not great. By the time I could sit down, my hamburger was cold. The fries were okay but not great. The salad was good, and so were the sprouts, although they were a tad on the cool side. F was on his phone with his earphones in so he wasn’t much fun. 


I cleaned up afterwards. It took a while, but I had my podcasts to keep me company. When I finished, I did the garbage in the kitchen. I took a couple of things out of the fridge too and tossed it. I took the bag out to the genkan and left it. 


When I went upstairs F was in bed. He did get up a bit later but wasn’t doing too well because he has a bad knee these days. I went downstairs after a bit to take a shower and he came down to get some ramen…of course. 


After my shower, I went upstairs and watched Grey’s Anatomy. It was a bit of a filler show, but it was okay. 


And…that’s about it for my day. I’m not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow, but you can come back later and find out! 


Now then, your reward for reading all this is today’s Advent Calendar picture!  December 8th…Enjoy!



Until tomorrow...
