I stayed alive during the first winter month.

I don´t know how much it will cost me though. The amount of money I´m spending in heat is so incredible that it is a lot more than Luna´s and my food together. JEEEZZZ!!!
Mario did not come. I waited and waited and I had thawed some cooked meat that was in the freezer. At 6:30 I put it back in the freezer and I promise that I´ll give it to him if he ever comes. I am not going to throw it away.
I decided that I´d look at it as a half full glass of water. I did not pay him. But sooner or later I will have to ask someone to get those branches out of my house. And then I will have to pay someone else to take them away.
As I was waiting and did not eat properly, I got very hungry. But then I remembered that it had been a lon time since I had made a escalivada. I had several veggies to roast. So I placed in a baking dish an eggplant (cut in half), a hot chile, the half onion I had and some sweet peppers I was planning to make diced and cooked in caramel sauce to serve with cream cheese. I used only part of the peppers so I still have enough for an appetizer.
I remembered Coral while I did the escalivada as I taught her to do it while we were in Aruba. And in that moment Coral wrote something on FB. So she is well.
I just ate a dish with escalivada over a toasted bun and I had my night pills. I´m ready to watch a movie

That's too bad he didn't show up. I hate when that happens and then you don't know why they didn't show, or if they plan on coming another day, etc.
You always manage to make it work, and your dinner sounds good too. We had taco salads, which I was hungry for.

I hate it when somebody says he will come and does not show up. It happened to me once in a while when I taught teens. They usually wanted extra classes on weekends but they also wanted to go to parties. So they showed up late or did not show at all. Then I could talk to the parents and told them that the next time they´d have to pay me for my time. But this is completly different. Mario comes when he wants to. And I can´t say anything.![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbdown.gif)

I get so irritated when repairmen, etc. do not show up. Many times a person has to change their entire schedule, or often someone has to stay home from work, to get something repaired and have a repairman...and when they do not show up, I consider that so rude. They can at least call, but often, they do not.

@MarieCoyle It was his loss. I had some nice food for him. I won´t ask him to come until dixie is well from her surgery now.

Tomorrow I´ll watch a movie with Daniel. I am making a list and will let Daniel choose. I eat the popcorn he makes and he watches the movie.

The cold wave is past so I am feeling better. So, instead of worrying about Mario not coming, I am sating that I saved his wages.![](/Content/images/emotes/wink.gif)

I hate it when someone doesn't show up. I've had this happen countless times with various contractors. I'm glad Coral is OK. Have a good week.

I had nothing too important to do. So maybe it was for the better. He should have told me though.
