Wednesday - Sunny but cool

I woke up this morning before my alarm, but after F had left for work. That was nice. I went downstairs, came back to the room and went back to bed. I watched videos for a while, but woke up a bit later. I got up, much earlier than I have in ages! I dressed and then went downstairs with our kerosene tank. I filled up our tank and also K’s in the living room. I wanted her to be warm if she got up during the day. I took the full tank upstairs and then went downstairs again. I made and brought my breakfast up to the room and then ate it.

I had a quiet morning and afternoon. I watched some YouTube videos and relaxed a bit. It was nice.

I made my lunch at my usual time and then watched another episode of NCIS: Los Angeles. It was quite good. I followed that up with the news.

F called around 5:30 so I went downstairs to get started on dinner. Tonight I did a pork stir-fry with a mix from the store. It had konbu and carrots in it, I added some chikuwa and cabbage too. It got rave reviews. We had that with rice and potato salad and salad. Yum.

After dinner I washed the dishes and then did the garbage up in the kitchen. I added on garbage from the living room and K even brought hers out. I sealed the bag and put it in the genkan for F to take out later.

I told F I was done and that I would go and change my clothes so we could go out. A few minutes later we drove over to Mina and I went in and did the shopping. I got most of the things on my list and then went through the cashier’s line. 

F and I came back to the house and put away the groceries. We had planned to get some kerosene tonight, but didn’t. 

We had a quiet night in. I watched Wildcards tonight and it was set on a ranch. The ranch owner was played by Ally Sheedy…from The Breakfast Club! That was kind of cool. She looked quite different than she did in the 80’s!

After midnight I wrote some email, one to my sister, one to my bestie. I’ve owed her for a few days now. Unfortunately, writing two emails has made me quite late to get to bed. 

Well, that’s about it for me. Not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow. Come back later if you like and see. Until tomorrow….
