a while ago, I pulled a muscle in my lower abdomen…

it took awhile to get confirmation as I thought it was something else, lol…

apparently, shovelling is a really bad thing to do, which is unfortunate… usually I shovel the steps and front sidewalk… it doesn’t take that long, but after I shovelled last week, the pain got more intense…

so, today, when I had to go out, I decided not to shovel… it was difficult, but I remember the pain…

so I went out the back and walked in the tire tracks down to the street to get in the Uber…

will be getting my housemate to clear it up;-)…

and so, after seventeen days, the 2026 Olympics are over, sigh…

it was a delight to watch so many different sports, including some new ones, and learn about the individual athletes… I can no longer pick a particular favourite sport because so many are riveting… could not be more proud of all of our athletes who represented us so well…

there will likely be some withdrawal pains over the next few days…

now to get back to reading, and actually leaving the house, lol…

I am blessed…

as I was waiting for my ride to the pool for aquasize, I took a few photos…

this one is the Inukshuk in a circle in the snow… I need to find another piece of limestone to finish it off better, lol…

then a shot of the snow on the cedar branches at the front door…

we were happy to be going because last week we missed due to the Olympics, lol…

we were in the water for about ten minutes when an alarm went off… we were told to evacuate the pool and then to head to the lounge at the entrance and not to stop for our clothes or other items…

besides our class, there were at least two classes of school kids, as well as those who had been in the gym… quite a few people…

during all that time the alarms were ringing and lights were flashing… after about ten minutes a firetruck arrived and the firefighters headed to the back of the building…

another ten minutes or so went by and finally the lights and ringing stopped…

we headed back to the change rooms, dressed and left the building… as a treat we picked up bagels…

mine was quite delicious;-)…

also meant I made it home in time to watch the women’s free skate…

thinking about what a great week it has been and how fortunate I am to be able to adjust my sleep schedule to watch different Olympic sports when they are happening…

CBC Gem has proved a real treat… there are many sports covered so it is easy to find and watch the ones I am most interested in… although, sometimes there are too many live options, lol…

in previous years you were at the whim of a few tv stations as to what was shown, and when…

lots of live watching, my favourite kind;-)…

went out for groceries and found three little heart pillows…

which I had to bring home;-)…

and I was also happy to find daffodils and hyacinth;-)… they came home too, lol…

since then I’ve moved them a few times…

everything is now in the den, as I am spending the majority of my time in there, watching the Olympics;-)…

on Saturday afternoon, we went to our PTE play, Big Stuff…

as we park underground we always leave our coats in the car which makes sitting in the theatre more comfortable…

as we entered the theatre we were given a card with a pencil in it… most people did respond and the actors collected all of them and dumped them into a couple of boxes…

throughout the performance they connected with some of the people who had responded on the cards…

it was quite delightful and one of our favourite shows;-)…

had lunch out on our way to the theatre the other day…

went to Pho Hoang, which was one of our favourites when we used to go to aquasize at Cindy Klassen pool during our working days, lol…

as always, it was delicious;-)…

I had shrimp salad rolls and sugarcane shrimp…
