Monday - Warm and sunny


I woke up this morning when my alarm went off. I got up and then did my usual watching of the news from the bed. I took a nap after that, quite forgetting that I could attend a Zoom meeting this morning. Oops. I actually meant to do it this time.


I had a fairly quiet morning as usual. I had breakfast and a bit later I swept the stairs. I changed the towels downstairs, the usual Monday kind of thing too. I watched a new-to-me episode of Bake-Off today and then the news as well. 


I went downstairs after F called and worked on dinner. Today, I baked some chicken in the toaster oven and also made a mushroom marinĂ©e and some mabo-dofu. The last one was from a packet I got in a drugstore’s bargain bin.  It was easy, just add tofu and microwave. It turned out to be quite spicy. We also had salad and I cooked rice for F and K as well. 


We had a nice meal and a lot of the food disappeared. I made a plate for K although I’m not sure if she’ll eat it tomorrow. I did the dishes and listened to a couple of podcasts, but was out of the kitchen before 9 o’clock. Yay.


I came upstairs after saying goodnight to K and then relaxed with some YouTube for a bit. At 10 pm I watched the re-run of last week’s New Amsterdam and then I turned off the TV. I took a shower too.


That’s about it for my day. Tomorrow is a national holiday and we haven’t made any plans. Sigh. I’d really like to do something or it might feel like a waste of time. F is still up this late but said he might take his mother to the onsen in the morning. Good for him. I think she needs to get out a little bit. 


So, come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
