friday.

We did all the things.



I got that scene written, very instrospective and not moving around much else but the narrator herself, but that did indeed move her a good couple of steps closer to the shipping aspect of the fic, so it was a very necessary scene, albeit slow and philosophical. Tonight, I hope to at least get started on this next scene which is more of a dialogue scene between the foster mother character and the narrator. They'll be readying their hair salon in the morning, so I needed to figure out what a hair salor looked like in the 60's. A bit of a miracle that I haven't looked this up yet, but under any circumstances - found this!



Which was pretty much exactly what I'd had in mind, so hooray for my period appropriate brain, I guess.

If I can finish the scene, that would be ideal, but since we managed to get the cleaning over with, we have all weekend off from duties besides cooking, so I should have plenty of time to write tomorrow and Sunday. Though, tomorrow we're going downtown for a few things, so I might be tired in the aftermath. Anyway, there is time and what I don't write tonight, I can write some other day. Not like I have a job to put all my spoons into.

Although it might sound like something I'm pacing myself through, I'm really enjoying writing this fic and I look forward to being done with it for the simple reason of wanting to see what it might end up looking like in its entirety. Very excited about that, actually. It's just the trip there that's a bit of work.



I bought a huge bouquet of flowers for K. today. During the pandemic, I made it a tradition that Friday afternoon, while she was working from home, I brought her flowers. It was part of my attempt to get out the door and face the world, that one time during the week when I had to. After the pandemic, the tradition died out somewhat, but today - while she cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen - I walked down to the florist and found the best bouquet money could buy and took it home. She loved it and it fits into our living room so well. We'll try to make it last for as long as possible.



For dinner tonight, I bought ready-made "boller i karry" which is a kind of meatball dish in curry sauce with rice for side. It's very simple and very delicious and I bought it in a jar, so it just had to be heated and the rice made. Very easy, but since our energy had been spent on cleaning, I think it was a good call, overall. It tasted yummy, too.



Now we've gathered around the table in the living room, right next to the flowers. I'm sitting here with my laptop and she's sitting with her jewellery-making... stuff. Lots of pearls and metal string. She makes wonderful earrings, K. does. She's making me a pair right now... Must make sure she takes a picture of the finished result, once they're done.

Thank you! Doing my best!

Back during the pandemic-days, it was a way to bring some colour into the apartment, but I realized the other day, we could always need more colour...

Boller i karry is one of the most delicious dishes ever. K. and I have to learn how to cook it properly ourselves.
