Monday - Clear with some sleet in the afternoon


I woke up this morning when my alarm went off. I didn’t know where I was for a minute! I think I was deep in a dream at the time. I went downstairs and then came back upstairs and went back to bed for a bit. I intended to watch a few videos as normal but I must have fallen asleep quickly and only woke up when my alarm blared for a few minutes. 


I dragged myself out of bed, dressed and went downstairs. I made my breakfast and brought it upstairs to eat. I made sure that K had eaten her breakfast…she had….


I had a quiet morning and afternoon. I wrote a few nengajo and when it was time I went downstairs and made my lunch. I brought it back up to the room and today watched another episode of Lie to Me. I thought it was good, but I’m not sure if I’ll keep watching. 


F called after 5:15 and I asked him if he’d made rice. He hadn’t. We got into a bit of a fight about rice making on the phone. It is silly really. I don’t make rice because I don’t want to eat it. I only eat it to be polite, but I dislike plain white rice. I really miss western style rice. It tastes so much better to me. 


Anyway, I went downstairs and got started on the dishes. When F came back he did set up the rice cooker and then sat in the living room and did nothing as usual. I got stuck into dinner. Tonight I did Toaster Oven chicken, with a hot cabbage dish, and salad. I decided to make another dish and checked out Google for ideas. I ended up making a scrambled eggs with onions and tuna and cheese. F  liked it and actually said so! That’s unusual. 


I did the dishes after dinner and listened to my podcasts. When I was finished I went upstairs to change. 


F and I went to the grocery store and cashed in some of his points from his point card. Then, we went shopping. We got a lot of nice cold meat for our Christmas meal and some pate, a few veggies and a little bit of cheese. We also got stuff for the next two day’s dinners.


We came back to the house and I put away the groceries. I went upstairs and F stayed downstairs to do something with his fishes. Upstairs, I relaxed for a couple of minutes and then went downstairs to take a shower. 


After the shower I went upstairs and decided to watch another episode of Lazarus. I think it was the last episode of the season. I hope there’s more, but who knows. 


F came upstairs and went to bed after a while. I had a quiet evening after I turned off the TV, but remembered around 1 am that I forgot to do up the plastic garbage for tomorrow. Oops. I went downstairs and put a few things in the bag and put it in the genkan. I hope F will take it with him when he leaves in the morning.


And that’s it. Tomorrow I’m thinking I might go downtown for a little while. It depends if I can drag myself out of the house in time to catch a bus. 


That’s about it for me. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
