Yesterday....

 I think I overdid it!

Yesterday morning, for the first time in ages, I felt alright. Not great, my back was still painful, but my allergies had calmed down, and I even managed to sleep for 6 hours straight. I didn't have to wake up early, so I hadn't set an alarm but woke up naturally at 7am. I had breakfast and thought about having another doze, but I wasn't tired, just sleepy from the painkiller.

So what to do with this bit of energy! I decided to go out and pull some weeds. I asked Christopher to help move some heavy things from the front porch. I wanted him to help with the weeds, but his allergies were bad!  I did about 20 minutes, even though I did a lot, it doesn't look like it! It's that bad! After that, I went upstairs to find some textbooks for my new student. That took a lot longer than I thought it would, as we had to move boxes. I can only get things from upstairs if there is someone to help me; the stairs are very steep, almost like a ladder. To go up, I have to use my hands; coming down is a bit scary. There's no rail or anything to hold on to! I can manage, but I need someone to carry stuff down for me. 

After rummaging around for about half an hour, I found what I was looking for, plus a few other books that might be useful. 

This is part of the storage room.

I was able to make lunch, but after that I spent time reading and watching TV.

I'm glad that I could have a good, productive day, but I am feeling a bit achy today!

Hannah had a good day yesterday! She went to the city to see Phantom of the Opera by herself! 

We have tickets to see at Christmas, but she bought herself another ticket to see it before!

She had an incredible time! 

The show started at 1 o'clock, so she had lunch before.

Good lunch

Her seat was at the front, 4th row, in the middle. 

The last scene is very emotional. I've seen this version and the West End version. I found the endings to be very different. Both are sad, but the emotion in the Japanese version seems stronger! Hannah said she could see the tears on the face of the Phantom!

Few photos she sent me.

Also, the mall that the theatre is in has a variety of restaurants and cafes that have special "Phantom" themed menus.  We might have lunch there when we go in December.
