Thursday — Let’s storm the Bastille! Sunny and hot.
I got up this morning a little late and then went downstairs. I came back up, got partially dressed and then watched the news from the bed. I also watched the 5am news that I had recorded so that was good too.
I had a very quiet morning. I didn’t do laundry again, but we were expecting a Priest to come by the house so I didn’t want to be washing clothes during that. I grabbed breakfast and then came upstairs to eat.
I’m afraid that it was so hot up here that I ended up taking a nap. I was terribly hot and tired. I think it was an okay thing. My little siesta!
I went downstairs around 2 to grab lunch. I was getting ready to make my lunch when I heard the doorbell. K was in the living room but didn’t hear the door. I let her know that the priest was at the door (I could see the robes through the door) and I yelled to him something like “just a minute”. K let the priest in and they went into the living room and did a bunch of chanting in front of the Butsudan. She closed the door to the kitchen too, and that was fine.
I went upstairs and ate. While I was eating I watched an episode of The Mentalist. It was quite a good one. I watched some of The British Bake-Off afterwards and also the news. F called to say that he would be late as he was still in Yamagata City.
Around 6:00pm I went downstairs and got started on dinner. Tonight I did pork chops with a veggie stir-fry, salad and some onion cake. It was pretty darn good if I’m honest. F called about 6:40 to say he was on his way and he came back just a bit after 7. I was setting the table at the time.
We all ate and most of the food disappeared. There’s a bit of stir-fry and some onion cake left for K’s lunch so I hope that’s enough for her.
I did the dishes and it wasn’t too bad tonight. I was listening to my podcasts and the AC was finally on. I did all my prep without the AC. There was a cool breeze coming in the window so it wasn’t too horrible for most of it.
F was tired and hadn’t had time to change out of his uniform before we ate, so after dinner, he changed and so did I. I’m always soaking after dinner. It’s not just the heat, I also get covered in dishwater too!
We had to go to the store but left the house a little late. We went to MaxValu. F stayed in the car for most of the time and I did my shopping. When he came into the store I jumped when he said hello! I didn’t expect him at all.
We got a few more things and then we checked out. F had given me money so I paid and then we went out to the car. He needed to pay a bill so we stopped at a convenience store and I got some ice cream and a drink for tomorrow. I’m rather looking forward to it. It’s a tea, it says non-calorie, so I hope it is good.
I watched The Rookie and then turned off the TV. While I was watching The Rookie, F gave me a box of stomach medicine. He kept telling me I should take some, even though I don’t have any stomach problems! I was watching my show and had no idea why he would do that. It was at a very exciting part of the show…a big shoot-out…about 10 minutes from the end when F historically always made noise, so I ignored him. After the show finished I took the box back over to him and asked him what he was talking about. Why should I take the medicine? There’s nothing wrong with my stomach! He said that he just wanted to give me something. I opened the box and it was full of mini salami sausages! He wanted to give me some since he opened a bag for himself but didn’t have another thing to put them in. Oh, dear. Poor F. I must have seemed like an ungrateful wretch. I did thank him and I think he saw the funny side of it. I did.
Anyway. that’s about it for me. The rest of the night I watched YouTube a little too much as it is very late now. I have to get to bed soon and I have to do laundry tomorrow. I must!
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Sadly, today there was no storming of the Bastille, but who knows what I’ll get up to tomorrow?! Until tomorrow….
