along with every other theatre, PTE had to cancel their current and upcoming performances…
we got an email advising that they were going to send us the archive copy of the performance for us to watch… what a kind gesture on their part… it was only available until the last date of the performance…
on Saturday, at 3 pm (the time we would have gone to see the show), my friend and I connected by phone and watched the show together… it was a bit of a giggle because the two computers were just off a touch, so it did sound a bit strange;-)…
I had my snacks ready – two of the shortbread cookies my friend had made for me – and a couple of pieces of Lindt 70% dark chocolate… we often bring a snack to the theatre, lol…
we had a fun time and a good conversation once it was over…
started with rice in the Instant Pot… think I have the process down now…
from there I made Thai Shrimp Soup… it takes a while, mainly because I make shrimp broth as part of the process… I left out the red pepper as I didn’t have any in the crisper… produced 3 containers and a bowl for my dinner… tasted very nice and didn’t miss the red pepper…
after that I made rice pudding… ended up with a bowl for supper and 3 containers for later…
there was a container of rice left and today I heated it up with asparagus and green onions to go along with some roasted chicken…
preparing the rice and using it in something that will be heated later means that the sugars go right through my system… still get the calories, but not the sugars, so this is great for my meal plan…
spent an hour or so this morning moving pictures in my Google Photos into albums… I really need to do this more often once I’ve got my Albums sorted out so that it doesn’t take so long…
just about the time I finished I got a text from a friend who wanted to do some shopping for an external drive and maybe spend a bit of time learning a few things about her iPhone…
I did some research on best deals and when she picked me up we headed to Staples to purchase the drive… it was a great deal, she got a 2 terabyte backup for the same amount I paid for 1 terabyte in September;-)…
we learned about a new offering they have… $20/month for a year for online support for up to 5 devices… sounds like it might be a great program for those who don’t have access to their own computer geek…
from there we went for lunch at Za Pizza Bistro… delicious, and I had half to bring home for tomorrow’s supper…
once we got home we spent another hour or so going over some tips and tricks for the iPhone… we’ve already scheduled our next time to play together…
after she left I wrote out notes about all the things we covered and sent the info off to her…
helping others with technology makes me very happy…
today I had a lovely time sitting in the sunshine in the living room…
I started a new book by one of my favourite writers and soaked up the warmth… of course, it was -40 outside, lol… so it really was a treat…
have had numerous conversations recently about our lack of sun… cold weather is much easier to accept when the sky is blue and a big yellow ball is in it… we are not getting the amount of sunshine that we used to…
I spent time taking photos of the light and shadows around the house as the sun shone in various areas…
today, I walked to the Park, had lunch with friends, and walked home without any pain in my knee…
it is the furthest I’ve walked in months…
the weather was cool, a bit breezy, and snow fell gently as I walked… I left in lots of time for my lunch date so I didn’t have to rush… I’m finding that as long as I don’t try to walk too quickly I am good…
and what a treat to have lunch and a visit with two wonderful women…
good to get out and move… was very happy and pleased that the sidewalks were clear and not icy/slippery…
the computer room looks like a bomb went off in it, so I am rather pleased to have started the cleanup process…
happily, it was easy to pack them up… I spent many years collecting books on religion, feminism and spirituality… now seems like a good time to pass them along to someone else…
I also gathered many books on children and worship…
planning to drop them off at the Fire Station in the next while…
put aside a few that covered Celtic writings…
once I find a few more empty boxes I will continue with the decluttering;-)…
looking forward to having shelves with space on them, not crammed with books I no longer read…
