Tuesday - Cold and snowy. Brr!
I got up this morning, did my usual stuff of going downstairs, and then watching the news from the bed. When I finished the news I turned off the TV and went to sleep again. I got up a bit later, went downstairs and grabbed my breakfast. I came back upstairs to eat and watch the John Cusack movie de jour, The Bag Man. It was….okay. I lost a bit of interest at the end of the movie.
When the movie was over I went downstairs and made lunch for K. I just heated up some of the leftover taco mix for her, but I put it on rice. I even heated up the living room a little before I woke her up. She seemed to be very happy when I gave her her plate. I told her I was going outside to shovel snow, which I did. It wasn’t too deep yet, but it was quite cold. I got the parking area cleaned up and the house steps as well.
I went inside and rested for a few minutes and then went down and got my lunch. I was surprised because K was up, she didn’t go back to bed for a while. Yay for her.
I took my lunch upstairs and ate while watching the semi-finals of Bake-Off. I’m still on the Nadyia episodes. She’s coming into her strengths just at the right time.
I watched the news at 4 pm and then I looked outside to see if I needed to shovel snow again. Sadly, I did. There wasn’t too much extra snow, but there had been a little more fall since I did it last time.
I dressed and went out to shovel snow. The snow was light so it didn’t take too long to re-clear after all. Yay. I just got in the house and F called to say he was on the way, but the snow was bad where he was. Sigh.
I went back in the house when I finished, and went upstairs to change for the kitchen. I took my dishes from the day downstairs and started on dinner.
Tonight I made a pork stir-fry and served that with rice and a salad. It turned out very well. F didn’t arrive until just before 7 pm so he was quite late. He came in and after saying hello went upstairs to relax.
I took a few things out to the living room and turned on the heater and the light. A few minutes later I heard the TV go on, so K must have got up by herself. Yay. I’m glad. I worry that she spends too much time in bed. Today she did better!
I was a little late with dinner, but it did get fairly good reviews. We had the stir-fry and then we finished up the Bocca puddings from Costco. That was nice too.
I did the dishes, which didn’t take too much time happily. However, I still needed to get groceries tonight. F and I got dressed and went out. We had to go to MaxValu as it was rather late and I thought the other shops would be closed when we got there.
I did the shopping and enjoyed myself. I used a buggy today and got it quite full. I picked up a few things for tomorrow and Thursday. I paid using one of the self-registers and had to kick in a few yen since the bill came to just a little over what F had given me. I didn’t mind, just thought it was funny.
I took the shopping out to the car and then we came back to the house. I put the stuff away, filled up the kerosene tank and then took it upstairs. I came down again to use the washroom, but someone was still in it. I had to ask him to get out! He did.
He turned off the water on me though, so when I soaped up my hand and tried to turn on the tap it didn’t work. Annoying! It is necessary to do that though as when it is this cold, the water might freeze. Sigh. It’s only -7 but the houses and plumbing aren’t well built so we have to be extra careful in the cold.
And that was my day. I have been trying to tell F that he didn’t set up the DVR properly. He’s lost the guide book now. Sigh. He said that he did it right, but if he did, why can’t I record my programmes? It won’t even attempt the news at 5 am, and even tonight, the show I watched froze in the middle. I don’t get it.
Anyway, I gotta go. I might have to help shovel snow in the morning so F can get to work. I’ve heard the snowploughs go by a couple of times tonight, so it’ll probably be a mess out there.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
