Thursday - Hot and sunny, then rainy and muggy later on

Last night before I went to bed, F was tossing and turning, getting up and going back to bed. It was unsettling. I pick up bad vibes from that kind of behaviour and I really didn’t want to go to bed. 

This morning F got up and even though I wasn’t really awake I talked to him. He accused me of waking him up when I came to bed, but I told him he was awake when I came to bed. Which he was. 

I fell back asleep and he went off to work.

I had a pretty quiet morning and afternoon. F texted me to tell me that his aunt was going to/had dropped off some strawberries and would I bring them into the house. Sure, no prob. Before my lunch, I brought the boxes in to the house. K was very happy to see them.

F also texted me to say that his party was tonight so he wouldn’t be eating with me and K. Okay, that was fine. 

I had a decent lunch. I watched an episode of Matlock during lunch and enjoyed it, but this double-cross stuff is annoying. 

Oh, and before lunch I sent in my column. Done and dusted, hopefully!

Around 5:45 I went downstairs and got started on dinner. F called to say that he would stop by the house to change his clothes and then leave. Okay. He did and then left.

I scrubbed some new potatoes, plated some kabocha salad, and made some tandori flavoured chicken in the toaster oven. I set the table for two people. Then, I got a phone call from F. His party was next Thursday. He showed up at the venue and there was no party! 

I invited him to come back for dinner which he did. I set a third plate and told K that he was coming back. K and I went ahead and ate together and were nearly done when F got back. F had a very small plate of food and wouldn’t take more when I tried to give it to him. 

I cleared the table and was just about to start the dishes when F came into the kitchen to wash some of the strawberries for him and his mother. That was lovely. I don’t generally eat strawberries, but it would have been nice to be asked. F kept getting in my way and was angry at me because he felt I was in his way. Okay. 

I did the dishes when he finished. When I finished, F was in the washroom so I just went upstairs and turned off the kitchen light. F can darn well clean up his crap from the living room. Why should I do it?

I took a shower and then came back upstairs and watched The Rookie. It’s on the Eighth season now! Wow. 

I turned off the TV and started doing my end of day things. I’m not sure what F and I will get up to tomorrow. He is taking the day off. I wish that he had waited but he’s an adult, he’s allowed to do what he wants. 

Anyway, that’s it for me for today. Come back later if you like and read all about my Friday. Until tomorrow….
