Wednesday - Rainy and cooler


This morning, I woke up when my alarm went off. That means that I didn’t hear my husband leave today. Yay! I went downstairs and then came back and watched the news. I did take a nap afterwards though.


When I got up, I started a load of laundry and then grabbed my breakfast. I made up a plate of food for K as well. I put that back in the fridge and then went upstairs to eat. I ended up doing a couple of loads of laundry today as I need it to dry before I go away. Fingers crossed that it will!


I had a fairly quiet afternoon. I watched a quick show off the DVR and then checked the NHK schedule for the next episode. I was really surprised to see “British Baking” in Japanese on the schedule for right now. I checked to be sure….and yes, it was The Great British Bake-Off!  It was older, maybe the first season and the first episode? They only put on half of the episode, but they did show when the second half was on and it is already set in my DVR!


As I ate lunch, I watched one of yesterday’s Yellowstone episodes. It was good, but then again, they usually are. 

I got a message from F saying that he was going to take off a couple of hours from work and go to the doctor. I was fine with that of course. He got back to the house around 4:15. He changed and then went off to the doctor’s office.


Around 6 pm he still wasn’t back, but I decided to go downstairs and get a start on dinner. Tonight I did a fairly simple meal because the night before I was a little too busy! We had boil-in-the-bag burgers, salad, sautéed spinach with bacon and corn, and french fries done in the air fryer. I think dinner was good. Most of it disappeared and we enjoyed it. 


I did the dishes and the garbage. I discovered that someone had taken all of the garbage bags away and hadn’t told me! Ack! I was a bit rage-y about that. I grabbed a bag from upstairs for the kitchen. F and I went out to the drugstore. I needed to get a few things for the house. He stayed in the car which was fine and I did the shopping. I got garbage bags, laundry detergent, snacks for F and me, breakfast for F and K and cereal for me. Yay. 


When I got back in the car F and I were on our way back to the house when we noticed that F’s car’s gas light was lit. Oops. We decided that we should go and get some gas right away. F has this bad habit of running the gas almost out. He did have enough to get to the gas station which was good. He filled up and we came back to the house.


I took a shower this evening and then watched the latest hospital drama with Ben Whishaw. It was good but a bit sad.


F went to bed around midnight and I should get there soon. I might do more laundry tomorrow, I’m not sure!


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

What is it with men wanting to run the gas tank to empty? My husband does the same thing! The other night we were leaving the house when the light came on to warn us that the tank was almost empty. He wanted to run all our errands and then stop for gas. I had to ask him to stop for gas *first*!

I know! F works out of town so if I hadn't asked him to go out to the drugstore last night, he might not have had enough gas to get there and back today. I've asked him numerous times NOT to run the gas down that low. After 3/11 we couldn't buy gas...if that happened again he wouldn't be able to get to work, and we wouldn't be able to do shopping.

It's a crazy thing in my opinion!
