Thursday - Rain, rain, rain with thunderstorms


Well, yesterday I woke up with bad news, today I did too. My phone’s warning alarm went off! There was flooding in the outskirts of Tsuruoka. The alarm proceeded to go off many times today. I am very lucky, there isn’t any problem with my area, but some areas have to evacuate because of flooding or risks of landslides. It rained torrentially in Yamagata and Akita prefectures, the shinkansens have been cancelled until noon on Friday. 


I had a quiet morning except for the warnings. There was one later in the morning so I got up and got dressed. I went downstairs, grabbed breakfast and brought it back upstairs. 


I had a quiet morning. F showed up a couple of times to take a quick rest between his driving assignments, and to dry off. I had thought about doing laundry, but with the warning alarms and the hubby visits I was off my game. 


F came back and made lunch for his mother. He offered me some, but I turned him down. I don’t like udon that much, and I dislike F’s. It’s horrible!


Later on, I made my lunch and took it upstairs to eat. I didn’t have time to watch my show, so I didn’t today. Sigh. 


After 5:45, I went downstairs to start dinner. F called to say that he was stuck in traffic and it wasn’t moving. I think it was to do with the weather personally. 


Tonight I made air-fryer chicken legs, salad, cucumber pickle, spinach and F had made rice for us. Dinner was good and most things disappeared. F was quite late in showing up, but I was even later finishing cooking it. I’m not sure why everything took so long!


I did the dishes afterwards and then changed. F and I went over to MaxValu and I bought a few groceries for tomorrow. 


We came back to the house. F took a shower and later on, I watched The Rookie: Feds. Unfortunately, the channel went out due to the storm a couple of times so I missed some of it. It was okay though, I think I got the story.


F fell asleep, he has to go back to work tomorrow. I’m up watching YouTube and for a while I was texting my sister. My province in Canada is having major forest fires and the town of Jasper appears to have burned down…I have emotional ties to Jasper so it really upsets me.  It’s such a beautiful place, I hope that the fires can be put out soon. If only we could take the rain from here and put it over on Northern Alberta and British Columbia. 


Well, that’s it for me for tonight. Tomorrow I will try and get that laundry done and I have to do dinner again.


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