Tuesday - Cold and rainy all day
I was having an odd dream when my alarm went off this morning. I woke up and got up a few minutes later. I made a trip downstairs and then came back and got dressed. I checked my email and I had received an email from the Canadian Embassy so I sent them the information that they requested. Whew. Then, I went back to bed for a while. I didn’t really sleep, but I dozed on and off for a few minutes.
I got up again and went downstairs. I made breakfast for myself this morning, I had porridge. I made it in the microwave and I made a smaller amount than I usually had. Unfortunately, it boiled over in the microwave and I had to clean up the tray! It didn’t take too long happily, but it was annoying.
I went upstairs to eat breakfast and to watch some YouTube and the news. I had a fairly quiet afternoon today. It was nice and relaxing!
Around 2 I went downstairs and started making my lunch. It didn’t take too long. I came upstairs and started watching another episode of The Closer. It was good. I must say that the show has grown on me.
I watched the news and also worked on my column a bit. I think I have written about enough movies now, so I should write my intro and outro and hopefully I’ll be able to send it in on Friday so I can enjoy the weekend!
I also asked some of my close friends if they are going to go to our women’s groups annual convention. Looking at just transportation it would be about ¥18,000 each way, and the hotel costs are supposed to be rather expensive too. I think it is a bit too expensive for me. I’d be travelling for 6 or 7 hours too and I’m not sure that I’m up for it. Even if I flew to Tokyo I’d still have a two or three hour train journey after that. I’m a bit sad, but I can’t really ask my husband to pay for me to go away for such a short trip for so much money! I have a bit saved up, but it won’t be enough.
F called me after 5:30 to say he was on his way back. I went downstairs a little later and got started on dinner. I washed my day’s dishes and then I got busy. Today I made chicken wings and bibinba rice, with spinach and salad. I think dinner was good. I did have some problems though. When I opened the freezer to get the spinach out, I couldn’t close it. Sometimes ice cubes fall over the back. Usually it’s fine and they don’t block anything, but today I couldn’t get the freezer drawer closed. I found one ice cube and took it out, but it still didn’t close. I had to call F down and ask him to fix it. He found the other ice cube and managed to get the drawer to close.
Dinner was quite good and everything disappeared. Well, except for the salad and the spinach. All the chicken wings were gone. We did have a weird thing happen though. F was looking at his fish tank during dinner and he noticed that there was a dead fish on top of the tank! It must have jumped out and not been able to get back in, I guess. It isn’t completely sealed on top. I know that I didn’t have anything to do with it. It’s a bit sad for him.
After dinner I did the dishes and it took a while. Still, it got done before 9 pm so I can’t complain too much. I went upstairs and got ready to go out.
F and I went to the grocery store and went in. Today, F went to the machine and transferred some credits from his point card to use for our shopping. Yay. The woman in the store told him it was at a large amount on the weekend. I picked up a lot of different things and F got something for himself too.
We came back to the house and I put away the groceries. I headed upstairs after that. At 11pm I watched FBI: Most Wanted and it was an okay one. A woman was kidnapped and the team had to find her. It wasn’t the best episode ever, but it was fine.
And honestly, that was my day. It was a decent day and I’m feeling a bit happier now. I hope it lasts.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
