Thursday - Cooler and rainy, sunny in the morning

I went to bed a little early last night but I woke up early this morning unfortunately. I went downstairs and then came back up to the room. I did go back to bed but it took a while before I got back to sleep. 

I woke up later and was a bit surprised that it was so late. I decided to do some of the laundry that I needed to do. I did two loads, shirts and pants. The divider between “my” room and the bedroom is full of damp clothing!

I had breakfast and later I went downstairs to get lunch. When I came back up to the room I watched The Closer and also worked on my column when it was over. I think it is finished. I did a few tweaks today, so tomorrow I’ll read it over again and then send it in. 

I knew that F was going to be a bit late tonight, so I went downstairs to start on dinner. Tonight I made a cucumber pickle and then cut up some mushrooms for dinner.  F did get back before 7 pm so I started dinner then. I made the gapao meat mix and asked F to put the rice in the bowls before I added the fried eggs to the meat and rice. Unfortunately, I had accidentally turned up the burner so the eggs were really cooked today. Darn. 

After dinner I did the dishes and then went upstairs. F and I have talked about going away for a night next week, so I made a reservation at a hotel before we went out to get groceries.

Unfortunately, we were a bit late leaving the house so we had to go to MaxValu. That place is such a barn! We picked up a few groceries and then went to the check out. They have the self-checkout machines there so F went to one. He tried to check out and was so bad at it that it drove me crazy! He waves the items over the scanner so fast that it can’t read it. I kept telling him to slow down and he wouldn’t! Of course, he also wouldn’t let me do the scanning either. Still, we got done finally!

We came back to the house via a convenience store to pay a bill. Back at the house we put away the groceries and then went upstairs. I took a can of root beer up with me. I had it and it was lovely. 

I watched an episode of The Rookie: Feds tonight and it was fine. I still don’t think I’ll miss this show when it is finished. I do like the characters though.

And that’s about it for my day. Tomorrow I have a little more laundry to do, I have to finish my column and get it sent in and cook dinner. After that, it’s the weekend baby!

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