Thursday - Cold and a little snowy
I slept until my alarm went off this morning and then got up and went downstairs. I came back upstairs and watched the news. It was my usual morning, including some snoozing time. The only thing I did differently was I sorted my laundry before I snoozed!
When I woke up, I took my laundry downstairs and was surprised to hear that F’s sister was downstairs with his mother. I started my laundry and very nicely took F’s semi-wet clothes out of the washing machine, brought them upstairs and hung them up. I grabbed my breakfast and then came upstairs to eat.
I had a fairly quiet morning. I was surprised that K didn’t spend most of the day in bed. It is so much better for her, but to be honest, not great for me! I did a couple of loads of laundry and hung it all up in my room.
In the afternoon, I went outside and shovelled a bit of snow. There wasn’t too much out there, but there was a bit on the steps. I neatened up the yard, then came inside and made my lunch.
I went upstairs to eat. Today I watched an episode of Bake-Off and that was fun of course. I watched the news and F phoned me to say that he might be late. Oh, dear.
I went downstairs before 6 pm and discovered that dear K had spent time in the kitchen and left the door wide open. We keep trying to get her to close the door at night and I had the heater on because it was a bit cold today. Sigh.
Tonight, I got started on dinner and it went quite well. I did sautéed spinach, basil and garlic pork, shrimp pilaf and salad. It turned out quite well. F came down fairly soon and K was already up, but wouldn’t eat until F sat down. Dinner was good, I thought.
After dinner, I did the dishes of course. I listened to some podcasts and enjoyed them, perhaps a little too much as it took me a long time to get done!
When I finished, I came upstairs and the heater’s red light was blinking. It was out of kerosene. F was lying in bed. I grabbed the empty kerosene tank and went downstairs and filled it. I wasn’t too pleased with F. I suggested that he look at the DVR tonight since I had moved the stuff from in front of the machine when I hung up my laundry. He didn’t even look at it. Sigh. The DVR isn’t working properly and I’m frustrated. It’s worse than not having one at all because I think it’ll record things and then it doesn’t. I set the DVR a few days ago to record two films and it recorded 17 minutes of one, and the other started recording something in the middle of the movie. This is not good!
I had a fairly quiet evening up here. I watched the TV version of Sewing Bee and a little later New Amsterdam. In between, I got Alexa to play some Canadian music. It was great, except for all of the Celine Dion they tried to play!
And that’s about it. I’ve been watching YouTube a bit too much tonight. I didn’t do any crochet tonight, but I did make a ball of mixed yarn so I can just sit and crochet sometime.
So, come back later if you like and hear all about my Friday. Until tomorrow….
