I was up fairly early, rearranging things and organizing more of the kitchen. Missy did not want to go out in the snow at first. I had forgotten about the time change so the service was actually at noon my time. I contacted Mom and she couldn’t get connected at first so I set up my phone to watch it on FaceTime while I cast it to my TV from my iPad. It was streamed via YouTube. Just before it started Mom got it working on her own iPad. Lynda and Kevin, Murrays children did such a good job sharing who he was , a good, funny, inquisitive and talented man who was loved. I cried and felt for my ‘siblings’.
It did leave me in a malais for the rest of the afternoon so I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. I did build my new shoe rack though and started gathering all my footwear. I honestly was shocked I have so many. I admit I default to my Blundstones.. A few on the rack are very expensive, many are cheap but fun.
I did make time to prep a Stoup in my slow cooker. Ham, potatoes, carrots and chicken broth from a friend that has been in my freezer for a year. It started to smell so good in here and turned out tasty. I have a small cooker but there are plenty of leftovers.
I had a few slices of Swiss cheese left and saw a post in the cooking group on facebook about grilling cheese. I tried it in my eggo sized waffle maker and it was delish!!
It was also a three movie day between chores. First was The King of Staten Island. It was enjoyable. I like Pete Davidson and there was the bonus of Steve Buschemi and Marisa Tomei. I feel like Staten Island must compare to Surrey BC for reputation. Next was Ben Affleck in The Way Back, he does play a drunk well but i just couldn’t connect with it and I usually love sports movies. The final of the evening was Parasite which took all my concentration as it is subtitled but that wasn’t a problem. I see why it won the awards. It took on strange twists I wasn’t expecting and what quite something. The whole, ‘if it came from America it must be best’ theme was interesting. I was quite taken in by it.
I ought to try to get more done tomorrow. I did get Jake’s bed ready for next weekend at least.
