Thursday - Sunny and hot, but humid


I woke up this morning a few minutes after F did. However, he stayed in bed for a bit and I went downstairs! I came back up to the room and waited for F to leave for work before I went back to sleep!


F actually came back a couple of hours later. He had a few minutes between driving assignments. I was still in bed dozing. I was on the verge of getting up though.


I got up, got dressed after F left and got my breakfast. I watched the news and then part of a movie on NHK. I didn’t watch it all though. 


I was downstairs for a few minutes when I heard the door being unlocked. It was F. He came back but this time he was bringing gifts! He brought ice cream!  It was a hot day so a cold treat was nice. I gave him a bit of hot water so he could have coffee.  He left after a while. 


I went downstairs after he left and made my lunch. Then I came upstairs again and ate. I did watch another episode of The Good Fight and it was excellent as usual. It’s quite cool how some of the clients from The Good Wife show up in this show too. I rather like the continuity. 


F called a bit after 5pm and said he was on his way back, so I went downstairs to start dinner. Today, I did burgers and fries with salad and kabocha salad. It wasn’t a high-pressure dinner and I’m glad. Sometimes I spend too much time doing prep and no one eats anything, so I just prefer to do less and have everyone eat more!


I managed to get everything cleaned up afterwards quite quickly. I was still soaked when I went upstairs though. I was able to spend a few minutes with the fan drying me so that was good. 


F and I went out to the grocery store. Today, I asked that we go over to MaxValu and we did. I spent a bit of time walking around the store and buying things. I picked up a few things for myself today too, I didn’t want to make F pay for them. I got myself a new pair of socks. For some reason, the socks there are very comfortable and I’m having problems finding socks that don’t bind. 


We came back via a convenience store for F to pay a bill and then to the house. I put the groceries away and then came upstairs. I watched The Rookie: Feds tonight and it was okay. Donna Mills, she of 80’s TV (Knots Landing!!) was in it and that was a surprise. She looked just the same, but they may have used a few filters on the camera!


Anyway, I turned off the TV after my show finished and I’ve been a YouTube fool ever since. 


I hope to do some laundry tomorrow and there’s dinner again, so it could be a good day. At least I hope so. This is a long weekend here but we don’t have plans as usual! It’s hard for us to go away with K. We just can’t leave her here alone when the weather is as hot as it is. We don’t want to take her with us as it is hard to communicate with her, so it gets a bit frustrating. I do go off at times for a night or two away, but F rarely gets to go far. Mind you, I’ve only been away by myself once this year, and I think F is the same.


Oh well.


That’s it for me. Come back later if you like. Until tomorrow….
