It was a Down East kind of day.

How far East? Oh … just Newfoundland aka The Rock! I finally decided to watch the documentary "You Are Here: A Come From Away Story" which I'd recorded. Even though the commercials were jarring, I still enjoyed it tremendously and, oh, did I cry. Anything that has to do with the generosity of Newfies on 9/11 just gets to me. The wonderful thing is that it showed the real people from them and NOW. And the "other" Kevin who seemed to be grumpy in the musical was back. He clarified that he and Kevin-the-author hadn't broken up after the diversion. They'd actually had a commitment ceremony in 2006 and only parted in 2010, but on good terms. Awww. So that was my weepy smile for the day!

I also enjoyed a morning nap for the second day in a row, a little more TV in the evening, and opened a box of chocolates I found. [When you forget you have more chocolates, it's a good holiday!] I had food adventures: For brekkie, I had roast chicken to which I added cranberry sauce; for lunch, I used up the rest of the salad shrimp by throwing them into tomato-lentil soup, which was too mushily-thick from pulverised lentils; but still good.

I submitted my editing/English corrections to the church for this coming Sunday. And I replied to the Prez's invitation to the executive of the blind group for the pre-Christmas (yeah, right, lol) gathering which should take place by the end of next week. I voted for next Thursday or Friday. Let's get this party done!

Anyway, I think I'm going to watch my daily rerun of Little Mosque on the Prairies as it's possible I missed a few during its final season a decade ago. Oops.

Finally, it's lovely to see more people posting about their lives back on DW/LJ. As I say, the more you journal, the more you can see patterns in your life, and the more you remember (things you want to remember).
