Monday - Cold and rainy
I got up when my alarm went off this morning but went back to bed to watch the news. I ended up snoozing a bit afterwards.
I got up finally, filled up my kerosene tank and grabbed breakfast. I came back to the room and ate. I was overcome with sleepiness so I ended up going back to bed for a bit. I woke up a lot later and got up.
I went downstairs and grabbed lunch sometime after 2 pm. I noticed while I was in the kitchen that K hadn’t eaten the lunch that I’d got for her on Sunday. She was in the living room, so I asked her if she wanted the food and she said yes. I heated it up for her.
I came upstairs and ate lunch. I watched a little TV off the DVR and then the news.
F called me a couple of times around 5:30. The first time he said he was coming back to the house, then he called back to say he was going to go and get his hair cut. That was fine of course.
I went downstairs to get the kitchen in order. Oh my. K and F had been using the kitchen all weekend but for some reason, they never clean up after themselves. The stove was messy, dishes were still in the drainer, the corner basket in the sink was full…I guess they think it is MY job to clean up after them? Err….no it isn’t. I cleaned things up because it was better for me to work. But I didn’t leave the kitchen like that on Thursday or Friday.
Tonight I did a simple dinner, just toaster oven chicken with a yuzu pepper sauce and a veggie roast again. I’m so enjoying having roasted vegetables, I can hardly say how much. I love my air fryer. It’s around a year old now! I’ve used it most weeks and it is going strong.
I got the veggies peeled, cut up, dried and also spiced, then put them in the air fryer. I also got the chicken ready for the toaster oven. I had to turn off the heater in the room though because I didn’t want the breaker to go off!
I also microwaved a little bit of stick broccoli for us, and it turned out okay. I gradually got the table set, but we were a bit late eating. It was around 7:30 before I sat down. The food was good, but no one said much about it. I liked it!
After we ate, I did the cleanup. It took a while, but it wasn’t too difficult tonight. I had tried to keep on top of things as I was working earlier, but it wasn’t always possible.
I listened to my podcasts while I worked and then came upstairs and relaxed for a bit. I asked F whether he wanted to take a shower or not and when. He had no idea about time but did want to take one. I ended up going first, around 10:15 or so. F, poor thing, went after me and the hot water ran out on him. He had to fill up the kerosene tank on the water heater. I’m sort of glad that he did it as I wouldn’t have been able to do that.
I didn’t watch any TV tonight, but I did write a few Christmas cards, so that is good. I hope to be able to send them out soon. Maybe on Wednesday? Speaking of cards, I did get my first Christmas card of the year today. Yay!
Well, that’s it for me. I’m not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow, but please come back and find out!
Until tomorrow….
