Thursday - Cold and snowy
I got up this morning when my alarm went off. I went downstairs and then came back up to bed. I watched a few videos on my phone and then I snoozed for a bit. There’s construction going on down the road so it was a little noisy. I didn’t sleep much. And then, when my alarms were trying to wake me up, I heard the snowplough working on our road. Oh no!
I got up, dressed and went downstairs. I went out and noticed that there wasn’t too much snow, but the snowplough had left a small wall at the entrance to the parking space. I cleared it and a few other bits.
I went back in the house and put my breakfast together. Then, I took it upstairs and ate. I watched the news and some YouTube again. That was nice. I had a quiet afternoon. I had hoped to do a bit of laundry, but K had done a load early on and hadn’t moved it out of the washing machine. She’d done her usual disappearing trick so I couldn’t even ask her to move the stuff.
When I got my lunch I came upstairs and watched another episode of The Walking Dead. I might be watching a lot of that over the next few weeks! Today’s episode was good and a bit scary. After lunch, I watched the news and then went downstairs a bit early for me. I went outside and shovelled snow again. There was more snow now. I tidied things up a bit and then went back into the house.
I got started on tonight’s dinner. I was making a cream stew with pork. F had requested a pork stew on the last grocery trip. I started on the stew before I even did the dishes. I figured correctly that I could do dishes while the stew was cooking. I prepped the veggies and checked that the meat was in bite sizes. Then, I got stuck in cooking it. It did take a while but I got it done. F came back just before 7pm. He worked a little late tonight. He also had to be careful driving as the roads were slippery.
I had asked F to check that we had enough rice last night and that it would be in good condition and he didn’t. Oh well. I gave him and his mother all of the rice that was in the cooker and I made myself some of the bachelor rice we have on hand. Well, the stew got great reviews and we all had seconds, even K! There’s some left, mostly the sauce and a bit of the vegetables and meat. I’m going to turn that into a casserole tomorrow night. I think it’ll be quite good.
I did the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. I was quite tired, but we had to go out. I went upstairs when I finished and changed my clothes.
We went to Mina and we bought some groceries for tomorrow. I also suggested that F buy stuff for Saturday already. He did. I bought some ham to add to the casserole and some more mushrooms.
On the way back to the house, F wanted something from the drugstore, so we went shopping there. I got some snacks and some pasta sauce. We came back to the car and then went to the house.
F helped me put away the groceries and then we went upstairs. I ended up watching a new show called Doc and I doing some knitting during it. I liked the show, I hope I like the knitting as much!
F went to bed a little before midnight. I went over and visited him. I just felt that I hadn’t spent much time with him today and I was a bit tired. We had a bit of a cuddle and then I went downstairs.
F went to sleep and I went on my computer and watched some YouTube while working on my internet stuff. And now, I’m done!
I actually did work on my column a little bit today. I have a long way to go and not much time, but at least it is coming along.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
