Monday - Rainy and cloudy and cool all day


I woke up early and I remember F grabbing my hands and we held hands for a while. I went back to sleep and when my alarm went off later F was gone.


I snoozed for a while, then got up and went downstairs. I came back upstairs and got dressed. I did try and have a nap but it didn’t really happen. 


I got up later and went downstairs to grab breakfast. I came back upstairs and then ate.  I had a quiet early afternoon with my usual YouTube and news.  F called me at one point to say that his aunt or cousin was going to deliver some strawberries to us and they were for us and his sister as well. When I went downstairs to make my lunch, I went outside and checked the garage. There were two boxes of strawberries. As I went outside, F’s sister drew up in her car, so I was able to give her the box with her name on it. I asked if she wanted to see her mother so I went in and found K sitting in the living room watching TV. I let her know that she had a visitor and I think they spent a few minutes together.


I made my lunch and left the strawberries in the kitchen. I don’t really eat strawberries. The acidity in them makes my tongue break out so I avoid them for the most part. 


After I had eaten and while I was watching The Closer F came back to the house. He came up to the room and he stayed for a few minutes. I’m afraid I was more interested in my show than I was in him. I was still angry with him from last night, so I didn’t want to say much. He left after a while. Today’s episode of The Closer was really good. There was a shootout in the room where the police officers usually do their work. It was intense and will probably have repercussions for the gang.


I watched news at 4 pm and then around 5:30 F phoned to say he was on his way. I went downstairs a bit later to start dinner. I also received an email from the Embassy telling me that I didn’t fill in part of my passport form. Oh dear. I didn’t, but I sort of thought that I didn’t have to. Guess I was wrong about that! I emailed them back asking them to let me know how I can correct it.


When I got to the kitchen, I nearly went upstairs again. The stovetop was filthy. F boils things over rather than checking on them, and then he can’t be bothered wiping up the mess. I had to get the pots off the stove so that I could get mine on. I started by doing the dishes and then F came back. I noticed that there was a lot of strawberry tops in the sink garbage. I think K had eaten an entire punnet of strawberries by herself. Wow. I hope she washed them first. 


I got on with my dishes and then cooking. Tonight I made a stir-fry with veggies and a sauce from the grocery store. It was quite popular. I also served a salad of baby leaf lettuce with some wild herbs in it. Dinner was quite popular and we all had seconds, so that was good!


I did the dishes after dinner and put out the plastic garbage for F to take out in the morning. Then, I went upstairs with some root beer and ice! I relaxed for a while and a little after 10 pm went downstairs to take my shower.


After I showered, I came back upstairs and watched another episode of Sugar on Apple TV. The show took a huge left turn last episode and so I’m just dying to know what is going to happen. Colin Farrell is so good in this!


F went to bed and seems to be sleeping. I’m not really angry at him anymore. Well, I am for some things but not for others. 


Tomorrow I have to work a little more on my column and I’ll be doing the dinner thing again. I will also have to go out and get groceries tomorrow night. Wish me luck with that!


Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
