 Thursday - Hot and Sunny

Today started out like it has lately. I woke up when my alarm went off, went downstairs and then came back to the room. I went back to bed and watched a few videos on my phone. I had just settled down for a nap when my phone rang. It was F. He said that he was on his way to the house and did I want anything?

I got up and dressed. Luckily I had put my clothes within reach. I set up my water pot and went over to the computer. F arrived a few minutes later. He was in between gigs I think. He was tired and just had a little rest. A little later he asked if I wanted him to go to the bakery that we like. He was planning to go. I didn’t mind!  He went off and then in a few minutes he came back to the house bearing some yummy food. He got us a croissant each, then an olive bread and a potato-cheese. I had my croissant with some tea, he had his with some coffee. 

After a while he had to leave. I relaxed with some Youtube for a bit but then I was tired so I went over to the bed and took a nap!  I got up after a bit and went downstairs to get my lunch. During my lunch I watched some more of the movie for my column. It was quite good but I still have a bit of the movie left. 

After lunch I watched the news and then a bit later F called to say he was done and was on his way back. I went downstairs and got started on dinner.

Today I did miso pork, sautéed mushrooms, pickled cucumbers, salad, and potato salad. Last night I had asked F if there was enough rice left for tonight and he said there was. There wasn’t. No big deal for me really. I gave K and F the rice and skipped it for me. F was “upset” but in all honesty, I dislike plain white rice anyway. 

I did the dishes after dinner and got done in a reasonable amount of time. Unfortunately, F wasn’t feeling well. He’s having stomach issues again. I went upstairs to change and then we went to the grocery store. 

I went in tonight and did the shopping alone. Yay! I bought stuff for dinner tomorrow, my breakfast and lunch and stuff for F and K’s breakfasts as well. I didn’t get too much but it was worth going. 

We came back to the house and I put away the groceries. I came up to the bedroom and watched a bit of YouTube before I watched The Rookie at 11pm. It was an okay episode. 

F went to bed fairly early. He’s not doing well I think. I keep reminding him that he can’t eat things past their “Best Before” dates in this heat and that he needs to drink more. Unfortunately, he might have been drinking too much water or something!

Tomorrow I hope to finish that movie and maybe do some actual writing on my column! Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
