I had secured the services of a young local man to help me put away my pool and mow my lawn as he was trying to raise money to buy a bike. at the 11th hour or there abouts last night I received a message he was running a fever and wouldn’t be able to make it. Of course I replied he should isolate and not worry. What I really needed was a helper though. I putted the morning away and visited with Mom. Headed off to do the matinee and it was just gorgeous out, had to stop and take a picture for my friend, Julie who loves our mountains as I do.
This is the view on my regular commute. Sure can’t complain. Once at the theatre Pepijn and I got things up and running. He’s a calm cool kid (15) from Kimberley who moved not too long ago from the Netherlands. I hope he works tech in the future for us as he sure picked it up quickly and is great to work with. it was amusing to me to be sitting behind scenery sending tech instructions via messenger. My inflammation was pretty bad today for some reason and I was afraid I was going to cough back stage but I called on Theatre magic and made it through. There were a couple younger girls with a family in the audience and their joyous laughter was a nice addition. We took running crew photos for the archives and that was fun. While I was backstage during the run my phone started silently ringing which was odd as it was my daughter and she knew I was busy. Seems she didn’t, but the boys may have via Alexa. Sneaky they are.
Afterwards I picked up my PC express order at Superstore and the young lady who brought it out to me was spectacular. So nice to have people with a smile in their voice assist. Got home and put it all away and then went out to tackle my yard. Put away lawn furniture, mowed and organized. Drilled a hole in a planter overflowing with rain water, deflated all the pool floaties. That is harder than inflating them, although it got easier when I realized I could hook up the inflater backwards. Nearly ready for winter but still able to enjoy Fall. Finished installing the electronic deadbolt on new backdoor as well. Came in and made scallops, brown basmati rice and edamame for dinner. Scallops are expensive but so delicious and I wanted to treat Mom. I loved the description on the rice bag.
We ate and watched Interstellar. Honestly I still don’t know what I think of it. This is the only movie I have thought Matthew McConaughey was attractive in though so that’s something. It was long…
Really, tomorrow is Monday already?! this weekend flew by so fast I haven’t even checked in with my Diane or Maureen!
