Monday - Sunny and warmish


F did not wake me up this morning, I’m happy to say. I woke up just as my alarm started, it might have been a second before in fact. I got up, went downstairs, came back and turned on the TV and watched the news. I snoozed quite a bit afterwards.


I got up after a while and went downstairs. I didn’t see K at all. She’d had some of her breakfast, but not all of it so I didn’t worry. I went back upstairs with my breakfast and had a quiet morning. I watched some YouTube and debated taking a nap, but didn’t. Around 2 pm I went downstairs and grabbed my lunch. I had a little look around and noticed that K’s shoes were gone. She wasn’t in the house! I decided that she must have gone out with her daughter and could be back at anytime. 


I finished making my lunch and then I went upstairs. Sure enough, a few minutes later, I heard K come in the house. Well, I’m glad that she went out….


I watched The Walking Dead from last week and then the news from today. The Walking Dead was good and many things are brewing.


The news, well, it’s been a bad weekend for news.  Around 150 people died in a crush in Seoul and around a hundred or so on a bridge collapse in India. I didn’t find out about these things until quite late. 


When F called tonight I went downstairs and got started on dinner. I tried a recipe I made once before. I had got it off Cookpad, the Japanese (but in English) Cooking site. The person who submitted the recipe underestimated the length of time that the eggplant had to be cooked. On the other hand, I did use more than she suggested, so maybe she was okay. It was a mushroom and eggplant saute and it was okay, just took longer than expected. 


I also prepared some chicken wings and baked them in the air fryer. When F got back, I had dinner underway, but I ended up taking longer than expected. Still, it was good. The eggplant/mushroom thing was nice and the chicken wings were delicious so that made me happy. We also had salad and F and K had rice too. A lot of our meal disappeared. 


I cleared the table and got started on the dishes. It seemed to take ages tonight. K went to bed quite early and a bit later F came in and said that his sister wasn’t feeling too well. K has started sneezing and coughing so I do hope that they aren’t going to get sick. I catch everything that goes around so I’d rather not get sick right now, thanks very much. I didn’t get sick at my convention…I diligently wore masks and tried to social distance where possible, so it would be ironic to get sick here. 


When I finished the dishes, I went upstairs and relaxed for a bit. I thought that F would come upstairs, but he didn’t. I watched a bit of YouTube and then decided to go downstairs and take my shower.  I checked the garbage and it was okay so I’m not sending it out tomorrow. 


I had my shower and then turned off the hot water afterwards. I came upstairs and set the DVR to record Killing Eve tomorrow and Wednesday. That should be good. I hope.  


And that’s about it for my day. Tomorrow I hope to get started on my next column or even on my Christmas craft for the exchange that I signed up for. I hope that I manage to get something done, besides the usual dinner thing. 


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