Monday - Snowy and warmish, cold at night
I had my usual sort of morning. I woke up, then ended up going back to bed and sleeping quite late. I was hoping I wouldn’t do that, but I did!
I grabbed a quickish breakfast and ate, then I went downstairs and took down my Christmas Tree. I also did laundry at the same time as I hadn’t done any for a week. Taking down the ornaments and putting them away was a bit sad, but I’ll see them again next year! When I had the ornaments away, I took down the lights and put them away. Finally, I had to take the tree away. I packed my ornament case, and the tree and then girded myself to go outside.
I put on my coat and hat, then boots and took my boxes to the garage. I took them upstairs, I had to do two trips, and then came downstairs gingerly. I hate those stairs!
I shovelled snow for a bit. There was quite a bit, but it was light and soft so it didn’t take too much effort. Hurray! I got the parking area and the steps to the house cleared off, but the snow was still coming down. Sigh.
I went inside and was a bit shocked that it was around 3:40. I still hadn’t had lunch! I went upstairs, grabbed my bread and took it down to the kitchen. I made my lunch and then took it upstairs.
When I arrived, it was after 4 pm so I just watched some of the news. I saw Marco Rubio on with George Stephanopoulis and he was like a character in 1984 (one of the books I’m reading at the moment.) He wouldn’t answer any questions and the term “doublespeak” came to mind.
After the news I turned off the TV and got stuck into a bit of YouTube. F called me around 5:30 and a few minutes later I went downstairs and got started in the kitchen.
I had to tidy up the kitchen, I’m afraid F had left it in quite a state. The “clean” dishes in the drainer…well, some of them had to be rewashed. It wasn’t a big deal, it just took time.
Tonight I made hash browns/tiny roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs and bacon. We had it with some salad too. I didn’t get it on the table until well after 7:30. I’m not sure what went on. The potatoes took a little long I guess. Dinner was pretty good…the breakfast for dinner did go over well. I realized when I was cleaning that it was almost all cooked by me!
I did the dishes after dinner and didn’t finish until after 9pm. Still, they did get done. When I finished, I went upstairs and relaxed. I turned on my water pot and when the water was hot I made myself some cocoa.
F came upstairs after 10 pm and announced that he had turned off the water. I was a bit concerned and not too happy as I had planned to take a shower around then! I told him and he got a bit miffed at me. I also checked the temperature forecast overnight and it isn’t too cold, so he really didn’t need to turn it off. I did remind him that I’d asked him to set up the rice for tomorrow so he said he’d do it.
I went downstairs to take my shower. F was in the kitchen and was a little cranky so I got out of his way as soon as I turned on the water heater. I took my shower and afterwards, he’d gone back upstairs.
I went back upstairs and gave him a hug. I think he’s in a bad time of year for him. He had to shovel snow at work and a bit here at the house so his back was sore and he was tired. We had a nice couple of minutes and a little while later, he went to bed.
I watched an episode of Gen V and it was a doozy. That whole series is so wicked but funny!
Since the show finished, I’ve watched a bit of YouTube and worked on this blog entry. I’m about done now so I might be able to get to bed a little early!
Tomorrow I’m not sure what I’ll get up to. I have a few ideas but I imagine I may have to go and shovel snow at some point!
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
