Last night I went to bed at 10:45, was awakened briefly by a
calf cramp, got up once during the night, finally waking/getting up at 7:45.
I watched the first 20 minutes of the Today show and just as I was getting ready to go to the gym Teresa
proclaimed she was going back to bed and invited me to join her. It took a while for me to fall asleep and I
finally got up at 11am.
I left the apt at 12:10 for the 12:50 showing of Joker (8.9). I added 50mil to my Platinum card, bought a
preferred seat for 6mil and went into the Platinum room. (I’m lacking 3 visits this year to renew my
Platinum card for another year.) I gave my gift card to the cashier and she
brought me a hamburger, a Kit Kat
bar, a small popcorn and medium Coke for free for my birthday month. I entered the theater as the trailers were in
progress and the lady in the next seat kindly turned her cellphone flashlight
on so I could set down my tray and find my seat. The movie was only okay but I think Joaquin
Phoenix should get an Oscar nomination for his role. (Btw, the budget for making the movie was 55
million and to date it’s made 740 million worldwide.)
I went downstairs to Todo
Fresa where I had a café con leche and checked the news on my cellphone.
I left after about an hour.
Walking down the street I passed a young lady wearing a winter coat with
the collar turned up and a scarf wrapped tightly around her neck (and me
feeling quite comofortable in my jeans and t-shirt.) I picked up a bag of milk and a few bananas at
Exito on my way back to the apt. I saw a
dark cloud coming overhead although it looked like it would soon pass. I was back at the apt by 4:30.
We heard some loud thunder nearby but rain never developed. That changed by 5:15 when it started raining
steadily; so much for a small dark cloud.
6,344 steps today.
Joke of the day
A husband and wife are
waiting at the bus stop with their nine children.
A blind man joins them
after a few minutes.
When the bus arrives,
they find it overloaded, and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit
onto the bus.
So the
husband and the blind man decide to walk.
After
a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind
man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him, "Why don't you put a
piece
of rubber at the end of your stick? That
ticking sound is driving me crazy."
The blind man replies, "If
you would've put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we'd be riding the
bus."
How does one pour milk from a bag? I can't imagine except to transfer it to a bottle.
ReplyDeleteAre bags cheaper? Quality the same? I normally get the milk that comes in red cartons - the closest to the milk that you get in the US that I found.
Bags of milk are put into a plastic pitcher the correct size for this purpose. Then you cut a corner of the bag and pour. Almost everything is cheaper here. Tastes the same to me. Oh, and sometimes "on the road" someone will buy a bag of water, bite off the corner, and drink it that way.
