 Monday - Cooler and a bit windy. 


I woke up this morning when my alarm went off.  F was long gone, poor thing. I snoozed a little longer, but finally got up and dressed. I considered joining a Zoom meeting but decided I’d rather snooze instead. 


I got up a bit later and went downstairs. I took F’s clothes out of the washing machine and hung them up in our bedroom. He’s been doing that a lot lately. I took some of my clothes downstairs and did a couple of loads of laundry today. That was good for me. I was going to grab my breakfast, but K was in the kitchen and I decided to just let it go. I went down later and got it and while I was in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. My birthday present from my BFF had arrived! What a lovely surprise. I took it upstairs and opened it a bit later. She sent me a personalized mug and the means to go out for coffee on her. 


I had a fairly quiet afternoon. I was a bit late going to get my lunch. When I came back upstairs I watched an episode of Bake-Off and then the news. 


F didn’t call tonight so I went downstairs to start getting ready for dinner. I washed the dishes and then started cutting up the ingredients for our pizzas.  Since F wasn’t back yet, I started with my choice, Hawaiian. I drained some pineapple, cut it into smaller chunks, cut up a bit of ham, etc, and I also made a chicken doria. That was fairly easy, it’s just a rice-bake thing with chicken sauce and some cheese on top. I had the ingredients in a packet. 


After 7 pm I texted F to see if he was going to be a lot longer and he said that he’d just arrived back at his office. He had to wash the car as he was going out again tomorrow early. I decided that I really should feed K so I baked the doria and prepared the pizza too. 


K and I had some of the Hawaiian pizza (oh, so good!) and some of the doria and salad. She seemed really pleased with the pizza and even asked for more! F called to say he was on his way, so I started to think about the pizza he had requested. He’d wanted bacon and cheese, so I had already fried some mushrooms and cut up a few slices of red onion.  When he arrived, I made a pizza for him, after giving him some of my pizza and other dishes.


Dinner was good, but I didn’t even start the dishes until almost 9 pm so I was really late finishing. When I went upstairs I needed to relax for a bit. I asked F to take his shower first and he did. I went downstairs for mine around 11:30. Yikes! That was so late. 


That’s about it for my day. The pizzas were pretty good and K seemed to enjoy them. I’m glad as I’m not sure if she’s eaten much Italian-style food before I moved in!


Tomorrow I need to work on my column again. I did work on it today and covered another actress AND picked who the next one will be that I’m looking at. Hurray for that. 


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