Thursday - Warm but snowy

I overslept this morning. I planned to wake up about an hour before I did. Oops. When I got up, I went downstairs, checked the freezer…no joy…and then came back upstairs. I sorted my laundry and then took a load downstairs and got it going in the machine. I came back upstairs with my breakfast and ate it.

I did another load too and then hung it up of course. I heard what sounded like a snowplough outside, so I went outside and shovelled some snow for a while. I was out there for about an hour and worked very hard! The sound I heard wasn’t a snowplough, it was a Cat working on the ground next to us. That meant that I couldn’t sneakily take the snow over to the land next to our house. I had to pile it up harder in the garden. I had to work very, very hard!  I got the parking area and the steps to the house cleared off. I was exhausted when I came back into the house. 

I grabbed my lunch and then went upstairs to eat. I had something that I had rescued from the freezer and it was okay. 

I had a quiet afternoon, but I was tired and watched some YouTube rather than TV. F called a bit after 5 pm and after a bit, I went downstairs and got started on dinner. 

Tonight was more rescued food from the freezer. I knew that it was my last chance to use stuff, so we had some burgers that were in there and I cooked the pack of bacon that was in the fridge. I used my air fryer for that and it was brilliant. I didn’t have to worry about it burning or anything. I did have fun cleaning it up afterwards though.

When F came back for dinner he went upstairs and I finished up the cooking. He came downstairs finally to eat and we had a good meal. I did the dishes afterwards and went upstairs.

I took a shower around 10:30. Happily, the hot water started working again today. I wish the fridge would too. 

I watched The Rookie and it was a good one, right up until the end of the show. That was annoying. I don’t want to spoiler it in case anyone else is watching it but why can’t they let women meet nice guys? I worked on my dishcloth tonight too. I had to cut the cotton tonight as it had a huge knot in it. Boo!

That’s about it for today. F finally offered to see if we could go to the fancy restaurant for my late birthday meal. I suggested making a reservation for next week, or whenever the quasi-state of emergency is over. Most restaurants won’t serve alcohol after 8:00 pm at the moment and while I’m not much of a drinker, F enjoys beer or wine with a fancy meal. It should finish this week and I don’t think it is being renewed, so even next weekend might be better.

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