Monday-Sunny but cool

I think F did wake me up this morning but I managed to go back to sleep. That meant when my alarm went off a little later I was able to wake up and get up. 

I watched the news from the bed, for the first time in ages. I did take a bit of a snooze too, but got up early for me and went downstairs. I grabbed my breakfast and then went back upstairs to eat. 

I had a fairly quiet afternoon. I waited a bit too long to go for lunch. Once I decided to go downstairs, I heard K up and around. Oh, dear. I waited a while until she was back in the living room.  I was preparing my lunch and the doorbell rang. I went to open the door, but it opened. F’s sister came in bringing food for “us”? For her mother?  I never know! She brought food that of course, I have no idea what to do with. I really wish people wouldn’t do that!

I went back upstairs with my lunch. I watched Yellowstone and started the movie Summer of Soul (…or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised). I stopped it to watch the news, then I watched it again later in the evening. 

F didn’t call, so I went downstairs and started working on dinner. Tonight I did baked “tandori” chicken with a salad, but I also made a cucumber and pea salad that turned out really well. F came back and went upstairs. He decided not to eat with us tonight. Eye roll. He did tell me how to deal with some of the stuff his sister brought over, but not all of it.

I set up the living room table for K and me. She turned down the bamboo soup I heated up for her but ate quite a bit of the other stuff. She had three helpings of my cucumber pea salad, so I think she liked it!

I cleaned up the kitchen, which didn’t take that long tonight, hurray! I listened to my podcasts and enjoyed them.

I got the plastic garbage ready to go out too. I put it in the genkan for F to take out. I hope he will in the morning!

I went upstairs and watched a bit of YouTube. Around 10 I went downstairs to take my shower. I had promised myself I’d clean the bathroom sink before I took my shower, so I did that. My shower was fine and then I came back upstairs. 

F was sleeping for a while so I finished watching my movie - it was a documentary. The music was so good, and the documentary really helped set the times for me. I was very young when these concerts happened. F woke up and went downstairs and took his shower. When he came back I asked him if he had turned off the hot water and he hadn’t. 

I went downstairs and turned off the hot water. On my way out of the kitchen, I realized that I hadn’t made more tea for tomorrow’s dinner, so I went back in and did that. It took a couple of seconds!

I came back upstairs and got on with my blog. And…here we are! Today was a better day. F at least talked to me even if he didn’t eat dinner with us. He made his own dinner tonight!

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