Monday - Sunny and warm

I didn’t want to get up this morning when my alarm went off, but I did. I got up and went downstairs with the kerosene tank, filled up the tank, and then came back to watch the news.  As usual, I snoozed after the news.

I got up a bit later and grabbed my breakfast. I was on my computer and doing a few things and then I realized I hadn’t eaten my breakfast yet! It had been sitting there for more than an hour. Oh, dear.

I heard K bopping around downstairs at times today, but we never actually ran into each other. I went downstairs around 2 to make my lunch and then came back upstairs and ate. I also decided to work on my column and not watch any TV until the news came on. I powered on and finished writing about last week’s actress and then wrote about one more. I finished just as F called to say that he was coming back to the house. I did a little bit more editing, but hopefully, I can write my intro and out-tro tomorrow and get it sent off. 

I went downstairs to start dinner. I didn’t do a lot of prep today as I had bought many of the ingredients yesterday. I prepared some potato salad with some baked chicken, a salad and then I made some pasta penne to serve with it. I had told F that dinner was being put on the table earlier, but he’d gone upstairs to change. Everything was on the table and I called him from downstairs. No answer. I went upstairs, opened the door and found him watching TikTok (what else?) with earphones on and it took about 10 seconds of me calling him loudly before he even noticed I was at the door. He came down a few minutes later.

Dinner was quite good and a lot of the food was eaten. I made a plate for K so I hope that she eats it tomorrow.

I did the dishes and listened to the Canadian news and also a new for me podcast. It was quite interesting. I’ll try and finish it tomorrow.

After the dishes, I did up the plastic garbage for F to go out tomorrow. I went upstairs after that. I watched New Amsterdam tonight since I wasn’t sure that the DVR caught it all last week. I did a little crochet during that too, so it was nice and relaxing.  

I went and took a shower downstairs when the show was over. It was nice, but after two days in a hotel in Tokyo, it was a bit sad to have to be cold before and after my shower.

I came back upstairs and started working on my blog and watching a little YouTube too. And, that’s about it for my day.

Tomorrow I have to finish my column and decide if I should send it in or wait one more day to make revisions. I’m also on dinner duty again. Oh yay. Come back later if you can and read all about my day. Until tomorrow….
