A Fun Day in Chinatown

Yesterday morning, I woke up thinking that I had a day before me with nothing whatever that I had to do.  What a fun (and somewhat unusual) feeling!   I immediately called Becca to see if she wanted to walk to Chinatown with me, and I was delighted when she said she did.  Of course, as soon as we got underway, I realized that I actually had many imperative little tasks that I should be doing instead of just having a fun day with my darling daughter.  Oh well! Why brood over the unfixable! There is always tomorrow, to paraphrase Scarlett O’Hara. 

Becca and I both needed things from the Chinese grocery stores, and  what fun place those can be with all their mysterious sights and scents. 

Some nice seaweed for salads!

I wanted ginger so we went to the spices and herb store and Becca wanted a particular sort of tea, so we went to the tea store. 

 Then a yummy lunch at my (current) favorite restaurant with its unusual dining room.

  Someone  is paying more attention to her phone than to her mother!

By the time we got home, I was done in, and decided that it would be sufficient to make a list of all the tasks I needed to do the next day.  That would be progress of a sort.  This morning I woke up, looked at the list, and felt a bit overwhelmed.  Well, first things first, so I worked the crossword puzzle.  As I was just finishing it up, Becca called to tell me that some yarn we had ordered had arrived.  Second things second, so I leapt on my bicycle and whipped over to her house.  By the time I got there, I was gasping for air and had white spots in front of my eyes.  This is a sign that I need to do this more often, I decided.  Later, home with my yarn, and recovered,  I managed to check a few things off my list before going to the Cathedral Kitchen.  Four of the usual washing up crew were not there, so it was a workout!  Looking over my  still to-do items now, I guess I have to quote like Scarlett O’Hara yet again.  Tomorrow is another day, and I do hope I can finally manage to check a few more things off that pesky list.
