Wednesday - Sunny and warmish
I woke up this morning and had a hard time getting up. I finally dragged myself downstairs and then came back upstairs and watched the morning news. I turned off the TV when it was over and then I dozed on and off for a bit.
I dragged myself out of bed and then went downstairs and grabbed some breakfast. I came back up and ate. I had a quiet afternoon and watched this week’s episodes of Yellowstone. I’m enjoying the show for the most part.
I watched the news at 4 pm and thought about what I’d make for dinner. I decided to make garlic shrimp and probably dessert too.
F called me at 5:30 but he was already in Tsuruoka when he did. I went downstairs but F arrived about the same time I did. He went upstairs and I stayed downstairs.
I got to work right away. I started to defrost the shrimp, then I got to work on the potatoes I was planning to roast. I got them prepared and started them in the air fryer. Next up, I started to prepare dessert. I was making baked apples, but today I did sliced apples in the air fryer. It took a bit of time to peel and core and slice up 4 apples, but I got it done.
I looked up once and saw that K had given up and turned off the lights in the living room. She’d gone back to bed. It was quite annoying since she knew that I was in the kitchen. I guess she disapproved of me taking time to make something nice.
Finally, close to 8 pm, I got the food out. I called F down. We had garlic shrimp, roasted potatoes and onions, instant soup, and salad. I did a quick wash out of the air fryer and then got the apples in. I set the fryer and finished setting the table. We had quite a nice meal. I liked it anyway. Well, F decided that he had to add on the rice that he made on Sunday with some mentaiko (spicy cod roe) and kimchi. He gave some to his mother too. I was rather perturbed as there were potatoes and I would be the lucky person who had to wash their rice bowls.
I got the dessert on the table and asked F to divvy out the ice cream. He put the spoon through the carton, but I don’t think he meant to! Everyone seemed to enjoy the apples and ice cream. I had some too.
I started to clear the table and F got himself another big huge bowl of rice and kimchi. Oh, good grief.
I started doing dishes around 8:30 and I didn’t finish until after 10. Of course, I listened to my podcasts, but it was quite horrible having to stay downstairs for so long. I finally finished and I was too tired to go upstairs! I did up the burnable garbage in the kitchen and put it in the genkan. Then I went upstairs and gathered up my garbage in the room. I asked F if he would be able to take out the garbage. He said he would and I think that he did it tonight by himself. I’m glad he was able to do that.
Tonight my hip went out again. Ack! I don’t know if it was me standing for so long, or what, but it is quite painful to walk. What is going on with the two of us? F’s knee is horrible and now my hip.
I watched New Amsterdam and it had Tantoo Cardinal on it. It was lovely to see her again. While I was watching, I started another dishcloth. This one is a bit simpler so I hope I’ll be able to get it done quickly!
F and I chatted a little. He may have a party on Friday, he isn’t sure. I’m not too happy as it’ll mean I’m on K duty again. I told him that he has to tell me for sure tomorrow night, and also we’ll have to go out and get some food for Friday night. I had been thinking of suggesting we go out for dinner for a change. Oh well.
That’s about it for me for today. Not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow. I should do some laundry or some lesson planning, but will I? I should!
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
