 Wednesday - Rainy, humid, hot

I woke up this morning when F turned on the light in our bedroom. Ack. I wear a sleep mask, but it had slipped. I covered my eyes again and fell asleep again. I did wake up fairly early though. F had left for work and I needed to make a run downstairs. 

I came back upstairs and after a bit, went back to bed and slept. I didn’t wake up early today though. Sigh. I got up, got dressed, went downstairs and grabbed my breakfast. I came upstairs and ate and later watched the news. 

In the afternoon, F made another appearance at the house. He did come bearing ice cream which was nice! He stayed for a while, I gave him a cup of coffee and then he left. 

I went downstairs and grabbed lunch, I came back upstairs and watched an episode of The Good Fight. Today, Rob Reiner was on as a judge, it was quite interesting to see him again. Also, there was some interesting news about Lucca.  Her brother was in the episode today too.

After F called, I went downstairs and got started on dinner. Today we had a nice meal of chicken drumsticks, rice, salad, potato salad and okra. I think it was good, but I’m biased. 

I did the dishes after dinner and listened to some podcasts. It didn’t take too long as I did try and clean as I worked today. When I finished the dishes, I did up the garbage. It was as much fun as ever. 

I was a bit annoyed at K and F tonight as they didn’t lift a finger to help. I had actually asked F to carry something to the table, but he didn’t hear me. That’s what he said anyway. So, when I finished working in the kitchen and had put the garbage in the genkan, I grabbed my stuff and went upstairs! I didn’t say goodbye or goodnight I just came upstairs. 

I spent a bit of time upstairs. I was surprised to see that F had left the AC on in the room when he came down for dinner. He was downstairs for a long time! After a while, I went downstairs and took a shower. When I was in the kitchen to turn up the hot water, I was surprised to see the sink was full of dishes again, including my frypan. Hmmm. I don’t remember F asking to use it. And it was really messy too. He better have cleaned everything before he came back upstairs!

I came back to the room after my shower and watched an episode of Buffy. It was a bit silly tonight. There was a woman who became a praying mantis and attacked high school boys!

After it ended, I turned off the TV and watched some YouTube. I did my nightly evening stuff and after a while, F came back to the room. He wasn’t very talkative. I’m pretty sure he was downstairs watching the Olympics. He gets rather annoyed with the way that Judo is judged. He says that it is different than when he was younger. 

I don’t really have much else to talk about now. July is over, and I’m glad. I just wish that we weren’t going into August, which tends to be hotter and more humid than July. I’m rather dreading that. 

I’m glad to be shot of July though. 

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