More weekend highlights

The good:
  • A free family pass to the Ottawa international children's festival (courtesy my next-door neighbour) with the unexpected treat to an exceptional performance of With a Doll in Her Pocket by Italy's Teatro delle Briciole
  • Indulging in $7 worth of ice cream at the festival
  • A simple Saturday morning brunch with a friend (his turn to treat)
  • Geocaching, swimming, and bike riding with my youngest (and a picnic)
  • Two pop-in visits with rarely visited friends just because their Facebook feeds were interesting
  • Mowing the lawn and organizing the garage
  • Noticing the pharmacy provided only one vial of insulin for the price of four, and calling to correct the error
The bad:
  • Caving into a whim that cost us $28 for mediocre dim sum, most unappetizing when served cold. Even the tea was undrinkable, with sediment floating in it.
  • Forgetting to buy groceries
On my to-do list:
  • Submitting an insurance claim for last week's massage appointment
  • Switching as many of my accounts over to e-bills as possible
  • Organizing receipts
