Thursday - Cold and windy, now rainy


I went to bed around my usual time last night and fell asleep fairly easily. I woke up when F got up to get ready for work, but fell back asleep quite easily. 


I got up after my alarm went off and did my cheeky thing of going downstairs and then coming back to bed. I was lying in bed watching some videos on my phone and F came in the room. He came to pick up some papers that he needed. We said goodbye. I ended up snoozing for a few minutes.


I got up and dressed. I went downstairs with my winter coat and gloves. I went outside and shovelled some snow for about half an hour. I cleared off the steps and the walkway, made the area around my side of the car a little easier to walk on. I also tried to get the corners a little bit better coming in and going out of the parking space.


I came back into the house and put my breakfast together. It wasn’t a big deal, it was just my usual yogurt and cereal. I went back upstairs and ate and relaxed. I watched the news too.


I had a quiet afternoon. I watched a bit of YouTube and then went downstairs to get my lunch. I completely forgot to do laundry until it was too late! I was watching my show (Major Crimes) while eating my lunch when F walked into the room. He tried to do his important phoning but got only answering machines. He tried to leave a message, we aren’t sure if things worked though.


He left after a bit. I watched the news and a little while later F called to say that he was on his way back to the house. I got changed and went downstairs. I took the kerosene tank from the heater down with me because it was empty. 


I went into the kitchen after I filled up the kerosene tank. I left it on the steps in the hope that F would carry it upstairs for me. (He would!) I washed my dishes, peeled some potatoes and soaked them. I drained the potatoes and dried them, then added some oil and spices. They went into the air fryer. I used the toaster oven to cook chicken and I steamed some vegetables as well. I got dinner on the table a bit after 7. I called F downstairs before everything was quite ready and I got him to carry a couple of things to the table. 


Dinner was good. A lot of things were finished and it was quite delicious. I loved my roasted potatoes. I didn’t overfill my air fryer and it made such a difference. 


I washed the dishes afterwards and tidied up the kitchen, the usual stuff. I listened to a couple of podcasts and liked them. 


When I finished, I told F I was going upstairs and I took a can of root beer up with me. I relaxed and watched a few YouTube videos while I drank my root beer.  F popped out to go to the store and when he came back I went downstairs to take a shower.


After my shower, I came back upstairs and watched The Rookie. It was a bit sad as one of the paired-up couples broke up.


I turned off the TV afterwards and got stuck into my computer stuff. F is sleeping as he has a big driving assignment tomorrow. I’m sitting at my computer listening to the wind wuthering right now. It is very windy. 


Tomorrow I plan to do a bunch of laundry. I need to get it done. I also will be doing pasta again for dinner so that should be fun!  I hope. 


That’s it for me for today. Until tomorrow….
