The rains of yesterday had washed all clean, including my golden roof.
Time to maybe move a bit, perhaps?
But, please, no killing shrubbery!
So I danced along with tWitch and Allison, there at the AHA's youTube site, for thirty minutes.
That was a nice change of pace!
(smile)
What else did I have up there?
Well, mid-afternoon, Cirque du Soliel was having a 60-minute Sing-Along and I was most definitely going...
and I did, but I didn't know the songs from their shows.
Still, they had the words to follow as the acrobats performed portions of many of their shows.
All in all, very pretty to watch!
Then, my first niece called and we talked for nearly half an hour.
Life for her was fairly much as it had been before quarantine, meaning that she was still going to work at the construction company in Richmond Hill every weekday, just as she had been since the year began.
Chris was now working from home, though, and had only left there once.
Christina was on her way to pick up her two little ones from daycare, as it had re-opened a week ago for children of essential workers.
She'd had to show them proof of employment at the construction company.
Sure, the procedure for drop-off and pick-up of the children was more complicated, with only daycare personnel and the children allowed inside, but it was again available for her.
No more need for Chris to try to watch both all day, or her to take one to work with her, so that was good.
But she sure was ready for this quarantine to be lifted because she was ready to be out and about...
and, listening to her, I began to cry.
She was missing being on the go?
She who was still working as she had been before the shelter-in-place order?
She was feeling stifled?
So, I let her know what being stifled truly was.
I told her about me being afraid to go shopping because I had to mask up.
I told her about me feeling nervous and panicked about buying groceries.
I told her about me only venturing forth from my house once each week.
I heard her gasp.
That only made me cry more.
Then the daycare worker brought Miyah and Chloe out and we signed off.
I'd set it so I wouldn't miss Sam Beckett - and
"Quantum Leap" - as I had yesterday.
The first one had him at a blues club playing pool -
that definitely began to perk me back up.
But it was the second one that really did the trick!
Set in 1958 (a very good year!), at a circus (Cirque!),
he wore tights throughout most of the episode.
That's when I noticed that his nice chest with hair
was accompanied by an absolutely fine derriere!
Hallelujah for Element's 32" screen!
i thank You, God!
Right place, right time.
And no sooner had that episode ended than I received a text from Christina.
She was "at" the Odd Lot Friday Funnies on fb...
would I join her there?
(smile)
Their improv had been going for about thirty minutes by that time, but I "arrived" for the Bachelor Game - right place, right time.
(smile)
We two spent the remaining half hour "liking" each other's suggestions and both of us commenting to the night's players: Chad, Megan, Jason, and Nirav.
I am so glad she let me know she was there!
(smile!)
As I was bopping down that bunny trail, I saw the results of a game she had played on fb, a game in which she had been likened to Baby of "Dirty Dancing", one of her favorite movies...
one which would be shown by Lionsgate.Live at 9 PM!
I texted her: come "with" me to the movie!
And she had... and Barbara joined me there, too.
Right place, right time.
i thank You, God, for reminding me that i am not alone, ever.
