Every once in awhile you need to just stay in and watch TV. In this case, waking up with a sore throat but feeling otherwise fine turned into a fever of 101 by the end of the day on Friday.
Sleep and cat cuddling was necessary. Taking a walk between rain storms then taking some more naps…
It was nice to talk to my brother and sister in law Sunday morning despite the fact the call was to let me know my mother was in an accident. So glad to have all these ways to connect these days. Will make the updates easier to get.
I joined the land of the living on Sunday to watch Avengers End Game with friends. Sometimes it is the little things like learning to order movie tickets on a Chinese app then being able to use the touch screen at the theater (no English) to print them that makes you feel like you can accomplish something in another country. Small wins are good.
They had many theater rooms showing at the same time, some with VIP perks, etc. Concessions are there but not as big as in the states.
We ate at a Chinese restaurant before hand. I had a Calamari and shrimp congee. It is like a rice porridge and amazingly tasty. The beans are the best vegetable dish I have had here so far.
Before the movie started we bought these cooked breads baked into bears and took them in with us. We had every intention to portion them throughout the movie but that didn’t happen. They were gone before it started. It is not the first time we had them. They are so good.
Of course, why not have ice cream after the movie. We went to Häagen-Dazs and I ordered a Jasmine raspberry pomegranate scoop of ice cream in a cone. Very Yummy.
