Good Morning, Just a Housewife in the Morning Part 93: "Monday Starts Again"
Monday, May 26, 2025, cloudy
Another week is starting, isn't it? This morning, for a change, I woke up to my 5:30 smartphone alarm. I got 4 hours of sleep. I'm sleepy. I immediately washed one cup of rice and set it in the cooker. I'm almost out of rice. Rice consumption has been high lately. It didn't go down much a month ago, but it's gone in the blink of an eye. I have to buy some on my way home today. Rice is expensive, but gasoline is getting cheaper now. It's close to 170 yen. I suppose it's because of some kind of subsidy. I'll wait a little longer before filling up. This week, Wednesday is once again the day to take a step toward tomorrow. It's touch-and-go whether I can take the day off or get through it with flex time. I'll decide today whether I can make up for the flex time deficit by the end of the month.
I need to get ready soon.
I didn't put my partner's lunch in a lunch box today; I prepared it on a plate.
I microwaved the salt-grilled mackerel and the shumai. Lettuce, tomato, and potato salad. Besides that, the rice is cooked in the cooker, so they can eat as much as they like.
