Tuesday - Hot and sunny
Well, F woke me up at 6:30 am and said that he wasn’t going to work today either. His back and knees were bothering him again. He said he’d go to the doctor this morning. I went back to sleep but woke up a bit after my alarm.
I watched the news and tried to take a nap. F called me from the doctor’s office and told me about his diagnosis. It wasn’t great. He told me that he had to go back to the doctor in the afternoon, so asked me if I’d like to go for lunch somewhere. I suggested his favourite fish place and also suggested that he drive past it to make sure that it was open. Sometimes, early in the week, they don’t open.
When he came back to the house I was nearly ready to go. We left a few minutes later and we went to F’s fish restaurant. I had the daily special which was mixed grill and sashimi, F had sashimi. He said that mine looked better than his…It was pretty good. I even had an oyster which I ate while it was still hot. It was better than I expected.
After our lunch, I said to F that I would like to get an iced cafe latte from 7-11 on the way back to the house. He somehow segued that into buying ice cream and coffee milk for K. I seriously didn’t understand what he was talking about. We went to the grocery store because it was cheaper? He pointed out the drinks in bottles near the door and I said that I didn’t want them. I also didn’t want to have ice cream, I was just really looking forward to my iced latte!
He got some ice cream for him and his mother and I suggested getting the salads for the next couple of days. Recently, when we do our normal shop, the salads are all gone. I got salads and then we paid and left. On the way back to the house, I asked F to turn into the conbini and he did. He thought I forgot about it I guess. I went in alone, picked up the iced cafe latte, paid for it, and then made it at the machine. It was….perfect! I should have got a bigger one.
At the house, I put away the groceries and went upstairs to drink my drink. I am surprised that F didn’t remember a few years ago we picked up iced coffee drinks at the conbini for all of us and it was really lovely.
We relaxed for a bit and then he had to leave. He was gone for a while so I watched an episode of Great British Bake-Off and it was as great as ever. This was the semi-final so I’m quite excited to see the next episode.
I watched the news too. F was gone for quite a while.
I went downstairs around 5:30 to get a start on dinner. Tonight I was going to make perogies and a cabbage dish with kielbasa sausages. It took a lot of work, even though the perogies were frozen, they had to be boiled and then fried.
I got dinner on the table a bit after 7 and it was good. F had a tummy thing so didn’t eat too much, and neither did K, but I thought everything was good. They weren’t the best perogies ever, but they were fine. I haven’t had any in over 4 years, so I was okay with them!
Doing the dishes took forever, sad to say. I had three pans and quite a few bowls. Still, I listened to my podcasts and mostly enjoyed the time. It was so hot today, it was over 30 degrees in the kitchen when I first went down, so I was a sweaty mess when I left the kitchen.
I changed my clothes and then F and I went off to Mina to get a few more groceries. F requested ginger pork for dinner tomorrow. I don’t really like ginger, but I can suffer for one night! I think I’m going to do something with eggs on Thursday, and we’ll see how that goes!
After shopping, F actually asked if I wanted to go somewhere. Always…but I said no. It was just after 10 pm and he has to go to work tomorrow. He really does need to get some rest.
We came back to the house and I put things away and then came upstairs. I had to turn on the AC because F didn’t. It was so hot upstairs!
I watched the FBI International show again and it was okay tonight. I’m still up in the air about that one. I turned off the TV after it was over.
And, that’s it for me for today. It was an okay day. I’m glad that F got an extra day off, but he might not have enough holidays for the rest of the year.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
