Wednesday - Sunny and clear
I got up this morning a little late as I went to bed a bit late. Oh dear. I had a quiet morning, I watched the news and then I took a bit of a nap.
When I got up I did a load of laundry and then hung it up here in the room. Some idiot hadn’t checked their pockets before doing laundry so there was a tissue all over the inside of the washing machine and the floor. I cleaned a bunch of it up. I have the feeling it was a certain husband, but I didn’t ask him about it!
My friend in the next town and I have been in touch again and were hoping to have a video chat today. She suggested sometime in the afternoon and that was fine with me.
I did my paperwork from yesterday’s classes and then tried to do a little bit of my column. But, then I stopped. It was lunch time so I went downstairs and grabbed my lunch. While I was there, I asked K if she’d like the food I put aside for her. She said yes, so I heated her stuff up too.
I came upstairs and my friend let me know that she was ready to chat, so I set up my table and moved my computer over. We spent a couple of hours chatting and it was great. We both needed it.
We had to go around 4 as my computer was down to 19% on the battery! I watched the news and relaxed again for a bit. F called a bit after 5 pm and said that he was finished work and would go to the grocery store on his way back.
F cooked dinner tonight. He made nabe, but it was a bit different than the usual one. He put some fish paste in it, and also used a chicken nabe base that he bought at the store. It was pretty good. Afterwards, he took some out for his mother’s lunch tomorrow and then added udon noodles to the pot. We all had a few noodles to finish the meal.
I did ask if he wanted some help cleaning up, but he said he didn’t. I scarpered! F didn’t put drinks out for dinner…oh, he did for himself and his mother, some sake, but nothing non-alcoholic for me. Little grumble there.
I came upstairs and after a bit, F did too. I tried to watch my show at 11 pm but something odd happened to the TV and I couldn’t get it to work. I was rather perturbed, and I didn’t get any help. I turned off the TV and left it for a while. Around 11:30 I remembered that tomorrow is garbage day so I rounded up the garbage in our room, then did the kitchen garbage too. F was a complete pain in the neck during that time. I had asked him to give me a few minutes in the kitchen to get it sorted. Of course, he didn’t. He was in my way, not helping as usual, and then kept finding things to go in the closed bag. I was pretty grumpy for a bit.
Still, it got done and he took it out tonight. We came back upstairs and relaxed some more. I tried the TV again and it seems to work, so I don’t know what happened. Maybe the wrong button got pushed? Who knows.
That’s about it for me for tonight. Tomorrow I am going to chill out. I have decided not to write my column this month. I can’t get a feel for a topic and I’m feeling a little overwhelmed with everything. Maybe a break is what I need.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
