Tuesday - Snowy, clear and a little warmer at times


I woke up this morning when F’s alarm went off. He had an early call this morning, set his alarm for 6 am. Poor guy. Helpful wife that I am, I turned on my bedside light for him. However, he didn’t tell me when he was leaving, so I woke up later and turned it off. 


I slept to my usual time and then got up. I started the heater and it worked very well. Woot. I got dressed and then watched the news. I took a little nap, but at 10 am I heard the doorbell. I ran downstairs and yelled to the guy that I was coming. He waited for me. I got the package that was delivered yesterday for F. Yay. 


I went upstairs, grabbed my laundry and washed a load of it, grabbed my breakfast and then went upstairs and watched a bit of YouTube. When the laundry was finished I hung it up in the room. A bit after 1 I went outside and shovelled some snow. There wasn’t too much to do for a change, but I like to think I did help a bit!


I went back in and soon after made my lunch. I brought it upstairs and ate it. I watched The Walking Dead too and discovered it was the last episode for a while. Sigh. That makes me sad. And happy because it scares me silly but I can’t stop watching it.


I went downstairs around 6 pm to get a start on dinner. F was going to be late, so I got started on making dinner for K and I. However, F called me and said that he’d be just another hour, so I thought since K was still in bed, I might as well hold dinner until he was back.


Tonight I made gapao rice and an onion pickle thing. Dinner was good, everyone seemed to have enjoyed it.


I asked F if he’d called the plumber to have the hot water tank fixed but of course he hadn’t. Sigh. I told him I needed a shower. He suggested going to the onsen, but I didn’t think I’d be able to finish dishes in time. However, I did! The dishes weren’t too bad tonight and I worked hard to get them done quickly. 


I went upstairs and changed and grabbed my stuff, F and I drove over to the onsen and just squeezed in before the deadline. I went in the ladies side and did the whole washing and then I did go in the bath for a couple of minutes, but really there wasn’t much time for anything else. I rinsed, towelled off, and then went to the changing room and got dressed.


F was out a couple of minutes later and then we left. We needed to get groceries so we drove to MaxValu as all the other stores were closed.


I went into the store and did the shopping. It was rather fun going around by myself. I got a few things for the house and some stuff for F and me too.


I went over to the car and we set off for the house. However, when we got nearby, F said that he had to go to the gas station. His dashboard light was on. Why, oh, why?  I suggested taking the kerosene tanks too as we were nearly out at the house. We got to the house and F had the tanks in the car already!


We drove to the gas station and F filled the car and then the kerosene tanks. We drove back to the house. I took the groceries in and turned on lights and opened doors for F, then I unpacked the groceries and put them away. 


I went upstairs and turned on the heater then got into my PJ’s and started to relax. F came upstairs soon too and we were both in the headspace where we needed to unwind. 


It turned out to be a decent day. I don’t really like doing the onsen thing, but that is a lot to do with my personal hang ups. 


Not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow, come on back and find out! Until tomorrow….
