Thursday - Rainy and warmer, clear at night
I woke up this morning before my alarms went off and went downstairs. While I was there, I saw I had received two messages on my phone. Is that why I woke up? One was from my sister, and one was from my friend whom I’m planning to video chat with tomorrow. I dealt with both quickly and then went back to sleep.
I got up a bit earlier than I have been lately and got on with my day. I grabbed my breakfast and found a package from a friend of mine who lives in Britain. I really wasn’t expecting anything at all, so it was a nice surprise.
I had a quiet morning and early afternoon. I watched the news and then decided to order myself a new computer. F has very nicely offered to give me a new computer for my birthday next month, so he suggested that I order it today. He had “given” me his credit card to make pay for it.
I was looking at the Apple Store online and was trying to figure out what I wanted when I heard the door downstairs open. Hmm. A few minutes later, I heard F on the stairs. He came in for a while and relaxed. He’d had to drive someone and had some downtime before he had to drive them back! I tried to fill out the online form, but it was in Japanese and I wasn’t too sure that it was correct. I also didn’t want to make a mistake when I was planning to spend so much of my husband’s money!
After a couple of tries, I was ready to give up the computer thing and try to order by phone. F had to go, so I wished him goodbye again and when he was gone, I phoned Apple and spoke to an English speaker and ordered my new computer.
I watched the news and a bit later went downstairs to start dinner. Tonight I used quite a lot of prepared food from the grocery store. We had hamburgers with wedge fries. We also had potato salad, salad, and harumaki - like a spring roll. Since the harumaki was precooked and frozen, I microwaved it as directed on the outside. Then, a bit later, when the fries were done in the air-fryer, I put the harumaki in for a few minutes to crisp them up. It worked well!
Dinner got good reviews again and we all seemed to enjoy it. The nice thing for me was the cleanup didn’t take too long. I was still tired when I was finished.
We had to go to the grocery store tonight so I came upstairs to change. I opened up my computer and found a message from the guy I talked to today. There was some problem. I tried to call again, but the line he gave me was in Japanese and I couldn’t understand the message. F tried listening in too, but it was hard. I decided to wait until tomorrow.
We went to the grocery store and I bought some food for tomorrow. I enjoyed walking around the grocery store too. I’m weird that way!
We hit up the drugstore nearby after that and this time we both went in. We picked up a few things and then left. F went to a convenience store after that to pay for a bill.
We came back to the house and put away the groceries. We came upstairs to relax and wind down. I watched The Rookie and then some YouTube.
Tomorrow is looking like it might be a busy day. I might do laundry, I have to call the guy at Apple back and I hope to have a nice chat with my friend. Let’s hope that everything goes well! Fingers crossed.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my Friday. Until tomorrow…..
