Monday - Cloudy and a bit cooler
I woke up a bit after my alarm went off this morning. I went downstairs and came back to go back for a snooze. I was in bed when F called me. He said that his sister might be stopping by and that he would be stopping by soon. Great! He came in the room and tore up his part of the room looking for his notebook. He didn’t find it then, but he did find it again later.
I tried to sleep more, but I really wasn’t able to. I got up and dressed, then went downstairs to make my breakfast. Today I made myself oatmeal again with actual brown sugar on top. It was very nice. Lovely and warming.
I brought my breakfast upstairs and then ate. I watched the news and then some YouTube. That was okay. I had a quiet afternoon. I did work on the cull of my women’s group. I took a member off the group and then she let me know that she was still a member so I had to put her back in the group!
I also washed the mattress cover that F and I took off the bed in early January. It’s big so I wasn’t sure if I could wash it here or not. I could. I set it to dry for a couple of hours too.
I went downstairs around 6 pm to work on dinner. I came back upstairs almost immediately as the mattress cover was finished. I hung it up to finish drying.
Dinner tonight was chicken drumsticks with rice, salad and okra. F contributed some stewed daikon. It was good, but cold.
After dinner I did the dishes and it took a while. I listened to a couple of podcasts and enjoyed them. When I finished, I let F know I was going upstairs and went up with my clean cup and a can of root beer. I was looking forward to sitting down and relaxing.
What I found when I got upstairs was that F had tried to “help” me by putting some of the boards we bought yesterday down on the floor. I had told him I didn’t prepare for him to do that today. My box of teas was spilled all over the floor, I couldn’t get to my chair as he’d moved things all over and there was a lot of stuff of mine in front of the heater. I was angry.
I basically threw a tantrum. He wasn’t in the room yet, but I threw the chair across the room, I pulled up the boards and slung them out of my way and picked up my stuff, swearing all the way. I was very upset. It just didn’t make any sense to me. I had told him I wasn’t ready yet and he made such a mess and then just left it for me to clean up after him…again.
When he came upstairs we had a big argument and were very angry at each other. Finally I started to put the boards back and F had to tell me how to do it. I ended up apologizing of course. I know he was trying to help, but I was so tired and just looking forward to relaxing tonight with some TV.
He spent the next while trying to plan how to use the boards that he bought. He had all these complicated ideas, but finally I think I have him convinced to keep it simple and less work for him.
I took a shower and when I came back I made the decision not to watch any TV. I did try and watch some YouTube, but F kept chatting with me. It was the opposite of relaxing.
So, I’m hoping to go to bed soon. I’m tired. Fighting with my husband always makes me want to sleep.
Anyway, I’m done. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day.
Until tomorrow….
