 Monday - Cool but sunny


I woke up with my alarm this morning. I was a little confused about where I was and where my husband was, but I figured it out quickly! After a quick trip downstairs, I got dressed and watched the news while snoozing a tad. 


I had set myself a goal of getting up at 9:30 and I basically did. I set up my computer for my Zoom meeting. It took a few minutes as I had to set up the table and then find my extension cord for my computer. I used the washroom and set myself up with a drink.  Then, I joined the meeting. 


There were a couple of people there that I didn’t know very well, and a few others that I’ve known for a while, so it was quite an interesting time. We all got to speak a bit, so that was good. I was a little sad when it was over, especially since a friend had said she’d try and join later. On the other hand, I didn’t have breakfast, so I was a bit hungry!


I watched a bit of YouTube and then grabbed my lunch. I brought it upstairs to eat and I also put on Bad Sisters on Apple TV+.  F wasn’t here and I kept my computer closed, so I had no trouble watching it. It was terrific! I had sort of guessed whodunnit, but not exactly why they-dunnit so I was happy. It was a really fun show with great acting and I’m a bit sad that it is over.


I watched the news and then after F called me at 5:30 I went downstairs and got a start on the kitchen. I had to clean it up first. Both K and F cook and do stuff over the weekend and don’t bother cleaning it up. It’s rather annoying. I got the kitchen somewhat presentable. I also checked my avocado seeds and changed their water. I noticed that one has cracked on the bottom. Woot. It looks like it wants to grow. I am a bit worried though as we’re coming into winter and the kitchen is really cold. 


Tonight I made chilli but I also baked some sweet potatoes in my air fryer. I scrubbed the baked potatoes and started them before I started working on the chilli. I got the chilli going and I also drained a bit of yogurt to use in the chilli to cool it down a little bit. 


I was a tad late finishing up the chilli, but I had everything on the table quite a bit before 7:30 pm. It was good. I served the chilli on the baked sweet potato and it was really good! K and I both added a bit of yogurt to the chilli and it did cool it down a little bit. We had a salad as well as some tortilla chips on the side. I think everything was really good! 


I did the dishes afterwards and then I did up the plastic garbage. I also had brought down a few of my plastic bottles that needed to be cleaned and prepped to go in the garbage bag. I didn’t put the yellow bag out yet, but maybe I will next week?


I came upstairs when I had finished and relaxed for a bit. I was going to go down and take my shower when F came up and grabbed something and took HIS shower. Oh well. 


I watched a vlog about a couple of guys who take cruises. They were in Canada and they had a bunch of Canadian food and snacks - I was so envious! They had really good poutine and also they had a couple of my favourite Canadian chocolate bars…Coffee Crisp and my absolute favourite, Eat-More. I always pick up a few of those at the Vancouver airport on my way into Canada…and when I come back to Japan!


F finished his shower so I went downstairs and took mine. I finished fairly late so I didn’t turn on the TV when I came back. 


And that’s about it for my day. Oh, I did work on my column a little and I’m nearly done. I should be okay unless something happens that I’m not expecting. 


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