Monday - Rainy and snowy and cold
I did go to bed early last night. F still woke up, but I think he went back to bed soon after. I hope.
Unfortunately, I woke up around 6 and went downstairs. When I came back to the room, F was waiting to go downstairs too. Sigh. I went back to bed and so did F, but he had to get up a bit later to go to work.
I slept quite late this morning. I just did not want to get up! Finally, I dragged myself out of bed and dressed. I went downstairs to check the mail and fix myself breakfast. I got 3 Christmas Cards in the mail, which was very nice. Two of them were official ones for my swap, one was a nice thing from another person saying thanks for organizing it! Yay.
After I ate breakfast and watched the news, I decided that I should do a couple of loads of laundry. I sorted it out and took a load downstairs and put it in the machine. I was relaxing upstairs again when F phoned me.
He told me that the plumbers would be coming by at 2 pm and would I let them in? And, of course, don’t use any water while they are here. ARGH!! I’m afraid I wasn’t too nice to F. I had plans for more laundry and also I was worried if K woke up she’d likely want to use the washroom right away.
I went downstairs a few minutes later and stopped the washing machine. Then I waited around for the plumbers to come. To be fair, they came soon, and did their work fast and politely so it wasn’t too bad. It was darn cold though. I was hanging around downstairs in unheated rooms so brr. They took about 45-50 minutes. They know where the leak is most likely, but they couldn’t fix it today. It’s probably under some concrete, which has to be broken for them to get access. Sigh.
After they left, I decided to make my lunch. Rather than going upstairs and bringing my bread down, I decided to just make do with the leftovers in the fridge. I heated up my food and took it upstairs.
I ate lunch. F popped by for a few minutes to check on the paper the plumbers gave me. He left and I apologized for being cranky when he asked me to see to the plumbers.
I didn’t have time to watch a long show during my lunch, so I watched a comedy show on Apple TV. It was okay, but not great. I even hung up my laundry which finished after I put the washing machine back on.
I relaxed for a while, watched the news at 4pm and later a bit more YouTube. F phoned after 5 pm and a little bit later I went downstairs to start dinner.
Tonight I changed my plans and made something else. F had bought an expensive tray of meat on the weekend for his mother’s lunches and dinners but hadn’t used it all. I decided that I would use it because I didn’t want to waste it. I made Buta Tama Kimchi. Basically, that is pork-egg-kimchi stir-fried together. It was a “using up” meal! I used up F’s meat, a half onion and a quarter of a cabbage from the veggie drawer. I used up most of the kimchi that we had too, and two quite old eggs! Surprisingly, it was fabulous and all of it disappeared. Woot.
After dinner, I washed the dishes and then headed upstairs. I relaxed for an hour or so and then took a shower. When I came back from my shower I decided to watch something on the Fire Stick, so I put on another episode of Gotham. I think I like it, but it is a little slow at the moment. I’m 6 or 7 episodes in now.
And that’s about it. F fell asleep on the bed but then put himself to bed after midnight. I’m still up but am planning to go to bed soonish.
Tomorrow I might do the laundry that I didn’t get to do today, and hopefully a few other things too. Oh, the postal strike in Canada is just over…they were mandated back to work I heard on the news, so maybe I can send things to Canada for a late Christmas. Maybe!
Until tomorrow….
