 Thursday - Hot and too sunny!



Last night I went to bed and I hit the timer button on the AC so that it would turn off after an hour. I read for a few minutes and then went to sleep. Unfortunately, F woke me up a few minutes later complaining about the AC still being on. He got up and went downstairs. I had told him he could turn it off if he wanted. I think I was asleep before he got back in the room. 


This morning I overslept for a few minutes, but got up, went downstairs and then came back to bed for my snooze and news watching. I dragged myself out of bed, got dressed and then went downstairs to grab breakfast. During much of today, they were working on the new house next door. It was rather disconcerting to head downstairs and see guys working outside my window! It was quite noisy all day too. 


I came back upstairs to eat. After I did that, I really wanted to take a nap, but I didn’t. Instead, I got stuck into my column. I wrote about two more movies and was congratulating myself on only having to do two more tomorrow. My phone rang. F said that he would take tomorrow off work and what would I like to do with him? Argh!! It’s not that I’m upset that he has time off, it’s that he didn’t tell me until the late afternoon. The deadline for my column is Monday and if I’m off gallivanting with him on the weekend I might not finish in time.


I pushed on for a while and got another movie written about. Whew! That meant I had only one more movie and the conclusion to do. F called me tonight around 5:30 to say he was on his way back to the house. I went downstairs to get a start on dinner.


F showed up early in my cooking time. He went upstairs to change and relax for a bit. I did not get to relax for quite a while.  Tonight I did curry chicken wings from Costco (microwave only), a zucchini salad, a zucchini-and-mushroom sauté, and some okra. There was a regular salad as well. I did some wedge-style fries in my air fryer. I set the table and called F downstairs. Dinner was quite good and everyone ate quite a lot. Yay me.


I did the dishes and listened to a couple of podcasts. That was enjoyable. When I was done, I told F I was going upstairs, which I did. I changed and then went back to my column. I did a final push and finished writing it. That means I can relax and enjoy myself tomorrow. I’ll review it again tomorrow and on Monday and hopefully send it in on Monday. 


I made some microwave popcorn and then came upstairs to watch The Rookie. After it was finished, I turned off the TV and then turned on YouTube. 


So, tomorrow F has an appointment with an insurance person and then booked himself a massage. He was talking about going to his favourite place for lunch, but I’m not sure if his mother will be coming too or not. I should point out that it is HIS favourite place, not mine. I don’t generally mind it, but I don’t love it! Oh well, he rarely asks for places for lunch and it is nice that he has an idea for a change. 


So that’s it for me. Come back later if you like and hear all about my Friday. Until tomorrow….
