My Day

It was a surprise to rise to clear skies and cold air (-1°). I rose at 5:00, fed the brood, lit a big roaring fire and settled down at my computer to watch my favourite vlogger, Martijn Doolaard. He bought two old stone homes that had been abandoned for years. I started watching his videos every Sunday four years ago, and I love visiting with him every week.

I had a Zoom call with my fellow BC stutterers at 10:00, so we went on a good long walk just before 9:00 and we were back in plenty of time for the call. It’s always fun to meet with the group on Zoom, and when we were done it was lunchtime, so all were fed. Then I watched the Olympics for a while, after which I read more of my book and then Sheba and I went to Rollo Park to walk in the sunshine.

My big treat to myself for My Day was making popcorn to eat while I watched the Olympics, and as it popped the smell filled me with nostalgia for times past when I loved going to movies. I always got popcorn. I reckon the last time I was in a movie theatre was a dozen years ago. When I lived in Vancouver, I lived about five blocks from a movie megaplex, so seeing movies was easy. I wonder if I will ever see a movie again in a theatre. I worry about the sound levels.

The evening was the usual, but I watched more Olympics instead of a movie.

Today we’ll walk with our friends and then the day will likely roll out like yesterday. There’ll be Olympics, reading, walking and eating. I have an easy week with only one scheduled thing to do, and that’s chatting with Aidan on Wednesday. But I may have lunch with my neighbour Sandi on Friday.

Thursday is the 14^th when we will be half-way through the month and there is still no snow predicted. Hooray!! I don’t recall ever getting snow in March, so I’ve only two more weeks of Winter to worry about snow. The only reason I hate snow is what it does to the garden.
