Thursday - Snowy, rainy and cold

I woke up fairly early this morning, I saw F leave for work but fell back asleep afterwards. I got up earlier than usual as I remembered that F’s sister was coming over. I went downstairs and I saw her, but I don’t think she saw me!

I came back upstairs and got properly dressed and just relaxed for a bit. I checked out my favourite internet sites and then went downstairs around 11 to grab breakfast. F’s sister was gone by then.

I came upstairs and ate and then I got stuck into my ornament. I got it done. Woot. It took a while really, but it looked quite nice when it was done. I had lunch and worked on the ornament a little more. I even did some in the evening, even though I thought it was done!

I went downstairs later on to start dinner. Tonight I did a fish stir-fry and I also made a marinated eggplant dish. For that one, I had to do it early so that I could let it sit in the fridge for an hour. 

When F came back from work, I asked him if the rice from Tuesday would still be okay. He said it would, but when I went to put it on the plate, it wasn’t. Oh dear. Luckily I had the bachelor pack rice in the kitchen, so made some of that for my crew. 

Dinner was quite good and everyone seemed to enjoy it. F was quiet and was listening to his entertainers on his app. That was annoying as I was trying to listen to the news. He doesn’t seem to notice how rude he is being. 

After dinner, I did the dishes and then I went upstairs. F and I had to make a quick trip to the grocery store, so we did that. I went into the store and picked up some stuff for breakfast for the others. I’ve sort of decided that I should go to the post office tomorrow. I need to mail my craft off for the exchange and I have to check my Christmas cards. I bought them in Canada and they may be just too small to send in Japan. Sigh. If I can’t send them, I’ll probably have to buy some bigger envelopes and send them that way. 

I watched some YouTube and then The Rookie, which was a pretty good one tonight. It was good. The serial killer had John’s girlfriend trapped in a tank in the basement of a house. It was reasonably suspenseful. 

I wrote a few Christmas cards tonight. I still have a bunch to write though. 

After the show was over I turned off the TV and then finished up the cards I was sending. I really hope I don’t have to buy new envelopes for the cards! The envelopes are decorated on the back. 

Anyway, I’m done for today. I hope that I manage to get out of the house tomorrow and send the fun box out. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day! Until tomorrow….

PS...here's a sneak preview of the ornaments that I'm sending....
