Wednesday - Rainy and cloudy

I woke up too early this morning. F had already left, he may have woken me up first, but I’m not sure. I don’t think he meant to do that! I went back to sleep and even turned off a few of my alarms so that I could sleep a bit late. I needed it!!

I didn’t really drag myself up and around until late, but I was pretty tired. I grabbed breakfast and came back upstairs to eat. I didn’t do any laundry today, although I should have.

I spent a quiet day upstairs. I didn’t see K at all during the day. I grabbed lunch a bit later on and realized that I had forgotten to buy myself some sandwich meat. Oh well, I managed.  

F called me around 5:30 which surprised me. He had said he’d be late tonight, but he wasn’t. He asked if I wanted stuff from the store. I told him yes, but he asked me to text him. That’s a good idea really. I forgot to put eggs on the list, however.

I went downstairs to get started on dinner. Tonight I made lemon pepper chicken, broccoli, mushrooms in mayo and soy sauce, and some spring onion cakes. It was pretty good. 

When I started doing dishes I noticed a pot sitting on a low table with a ladle’s handle sticking out. Hmm. It was the rest of my curry. I have no idea how long it had been sitting out. It was starting to turn white in places. All I could think about was how long it took to make it and all the nice ingredients that I used that were wasted. There was possibly a quarter of the curry left. I’m glad most of it was used, but honestly…. I asked F about it later. I told him that when I removed the curry from the pan, the bottom of the pan was burned. He told me that he didn’t use the pan on the stove, he ladled the curry into a bowl and heated it in the microwave. Hmm. It sounds like K tried to heat it up and burned it. I don’t know why she put it where she did, but whatever.

I scrubbed the pot, but couldn’t get all of the black gunk off the pot. I left it to soak overnight. I hope that helps. 

I did up the garbage downstairs, then I came upstairs and did up my garbage here. I left the bag for F to fill up with his stuff too. I think he took it out tonight too. 

I had a quiet evening in. I watched Bad Sisters off Apple TV+ and enjoyed it. I am really loving the drama. I recorded The Walking Dead and will watch it tomorrow as I can’t do it late at night anymore!

I watched some YouTube and worked on my blog and such. That’s about it. Tomorrow I have to do a little laundry and I’m cooking dinner again. Tomorrow night is tacos. Woot. I hope they turn out well.

Oh, and lest I forget, here are a couple of pictures of my headband. It turned out rather well and even with the safety pins holding the leaves on, was quite comfortable. I wore it further back on my head. I originally planned to wear it around my forehead, but I liked it better further back.

I used leftover variegated yarn for the headband and just finished up the ball. I made two ties and sewed them onto each end in the middle. I safety pinned the leaves to the band. 

Left to right, the leaves are...
random green leaf, a birch leaf, two maple leaves, another maple leaf -- different pattern and 
an oak leaf. 

Until tomorrow….
