 Thursday - Sunny and warmish

I woke up this morning when F got himself up and made all sorts of noise. He couldn’t find his phone so I had to wake up enough to phone him! He found the phone and then left. His temperature was down, but I think it was still pretty high. 

I went downstairs and stayed awake until the BBC news segment was done, then I went back to sleep. Of course, I ended up oversleeping. I got up, went downstairs and grabbed my breakfast, then came upstairs to eat. 

I had a quiet but short morning. I realized when I went downstairs that K had gone out, I found out later that her daughter had picked her up in the morning. 

I watched a bit of YouTube and caught up with the news broadcasts I recorded. Then, I went downstairs and grabbed my lunch. 

I came back upstairs to eat and I ended up watching the news first and then the last two episodes of The One That Got Away. I quite enjoyed it. In the last episode, parents, friends and dogs showed up. It was cool, but one of the mothers was quite rude when she “interviewed” one of her son’s dates. I think that most people ended up with the right person. 

I tried to update my computer during the shows but since the Fire Stick uses the internet and the update uses the internet, it didn’t work that well. I was a tad late going downstairs to get a start on dinner. 

When F arrived he said he wouldn’t go to his party. I was a bit glad, but a little sad about it. I asked him if he wanted to eat with K and me, but he wasn’t sure yet. 

Tonight I made a bit of chilli. I only bought enough meat for two people really, but decided to do what I could do. I got the mix bubbling away in the stir-fry pan and then plated some of the other stuff I would serve. Before I put food out for F, I texted him and asked if he wanted to join us. He didn’t.

K and I had a good if quiet dinner. She doesn’t talk much to me beyond asking where F was and why he wasn’t joining us. I tried to tell her, no idea if she understood. The chilli was good, maybe a little too spicy for K? We had chilli on rice, with salad and kabocha salad too. I think it was rather nice!

After clearing the table I did the dishes. I listened to a couple of podcasts and enjoyed them. I went upstairs when I finished. I said goodnight to K first. 

F was resting, but not sleeping. I stayed on my side of the room though. I watched New Amsterdam at 11 pm and enjoyed it as usual. 

F ate the leftover chilli and some ramen later on. Now he’s complaining about his stomach. I hope he’s not accusing my chilli of making him sick!

Not sure what’s going to happen tomorrow. He has an appointment tomorrow, but I’d like him to try and postpone it. Our original plan was to go to Yamagata to Costco after his appointment but I don’t think it is a good idea if F is still feeling bad. I’m not feeling fabulous myself. I hope things are better by the weekend proper comes around because there are movies to go and see. I will not get sick!

That’s about it for me for today. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
