Monday - Hot and muggy

I woke up quite early this morning, about an hour before my alarm!  I made a trip downstairs and turned on the AC before I left the room. At 7:30 in the morning it was already 28 degrees. Yikes. I came back to the room and put the AC on a goodnight-timer of an hour.  I ended up falling asleep again and woke up later. The room was still cool, but it was getting hotter, so the AC went back on and stayed on for most of the day.

I got up later and dressed, then I went downstairs. I got my breakfast and brought it up to the room to eat. I spent most of the afternoon in the room. 

I’m afraid that I didn’t work on my column at all, but I did back up my computer as I was planning to update it today. 

I went downstairs to get my lunch and when I was downstairs I decided that I would check to see if we had received a delivery today. F had ordered some sports drink for us for summer. Sure enough, the delivery person had put it in the garage. I carried the two boxes of sports drink to the house and put it away.

I made my lunch and then I brought it upstairs to the room. I decided to watch something new on the Fire Disk and gave School Spirits a try. I watched the first episode and I really enjoyed it. I’m sure I’ll watch more of it. I watched the news after that.

F texted me that he had bought some asparagus at work today, I was happy. I like it, but I didn’t cook it tonight. 

F forgot to phone me to say he was on his way tonight, so I went downstairs and got a start on dinner. I was trying a new to me dish tonight. I had bought a Beef Stroganoff packet this month and I needed to use it up soon. I didn’t know how expensive the beef would be though. I couldn’t afford the full amount needed, so I used extra mushrooms, which was a suggestion from my women’s group’s cooking subgroup. I was a bit late serving dinner, but it was good. Everyone seemed to like it and most of it disappeared. Yay. 

I was a bit late doing the dishes, but there weren’t all that many. I didn’t do a lot of side dishes. When I finished, I told F that I was going upstairs and I did. 

I relaxed with some YouTube and some cocoa and then took a shower around 10:30. When I came back to the room I surfed the Fire Disk and then decided to watch another episode of Mythic Quest. It was an odd one as it was mostly about the son of one of the main characters. It had its moments, but I didn’t really like it!

After midnight I turned back to YouTube and my headphones. I updated my phone, I spent some time on my time-wasting sites. And now, I’m up to date again. 

Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
