Tuesday - Clear in the morning, Rainy and colder in the evening
I woke up at 8:30 this morning when my alarm went off. About a minute later, my phone buzzed that I was getting a text. I checked it out and it was my sister. She told me that my nephew in Canada had had an accident, his truck rolled but happily he was okay. Whew. His truck is a write-off, but he seems to be fine. I saw a bunch of pictures on Facebook and the truck was badly damaged.
I went downstairs, came back up again and got dressed. I tried to go back to bed, but I got on Facebook and looked at the pictures, read a few other people’s postings and then tried to go back to sleep. I didn’t manage. I heard the doorbell ring around 9:30 so I sprang up, ran downstairs, and missed the delivery. There was a note in the mail slot that said that they’d tried to deliver something. I photographed the note and sent it to F.
I watched the morning news from the bed. I was under the covers, but wasn’t trying to sleep anymore. There didn’t seem a point and the room was still cold, even though the heater had been on for a while.
Today I went downstairs and grabbed breakfast. Actually, it wasn’t a grabbing today, it was a making. I had porridge again and it was good. This time I put in a spoonful of sugar and a little cinnamon. It was delicious.
I had a quiet afternoon today. I watched a bit of YouTube, I spent time on Facebook, and I emailed a friend back.
After lunch, which I ate while watching another Fringe episode. This was about a Nazi who created a toxin that would be very targeted. Walter’s father helped to create it. It was quite a good episode.
I worked on my column today and got quite a bit written. I have to write about some comedies tomorrow and it’ll be close to being done. F called and said he was on his way back, so I went downstairs and got started on dinner.
Tonight I was quite busy. I made two dishes from scratch. One was my spicy air-fried tofu and the other one was a pork/cabbage stirfry from a packet in the store. I went a little over time, but generally things were nice.
K had a bit of a mishap. She’d filled up her own kerosene tank, and gave it to F to carry back to the living room. However, she hadn’t fixed the lid on properly and when F upended it to put it in the heater, a lot of kerosene came out. Oh no! F didn’t check first. I can’t say I blame him too much. He had to clean it up and the living room smelled so bad during dinner.
Dinner was okay. F actually had a lot today which really surprised me. He took seconds, which he hasn’t done in ages. K didn’t have as much, but she did say it was good, so that was nice.
I did the dishes afterwards. It wasn’t too bad. I’d done a few earlier on and I tried to be careful and not use too many plates and pots and such.
I came upstairs to change and a few minutes later, F and I went to the grocery store. We just went to Mina. He stayed in the car, I went inside. I picked up a few staples and something for dinner tomorrow night.
We came back to the house and I put things away. I came upstairs again and relaxed for a while. I watched FBI: Most Wanted at 11 pm and then turned off the TV. I watched YouTube after that and stopped when our heater up here ran out of kerosene. I don’t want to fill up the tank now, so I have to blog quickly so I don’t freeze!
That’s it for me. Tomorrow I have to finish my column or write more of it, and then do the whole dinner thing again. I’m planning something simpler for a change, so that’s good.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
