We watched Les Miserables this afternoon, Hubby and I, compliments of our Netflix account, the musical movie circa 2012, and this was my third form of the classic Victor Hugo story told that I have seen. The first was watched with our eldest son, just him and me, the non-musical movie, circa 1978 version, while Number One Son was home sick on bed rest with a hip swelling, probably caused by rough housing, it was around 1982. If I recall it properly, due to it being very scary since we had been told that if it did not get better that he might have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at only ten years old, but whatever it was that caused it, resolved and never returned, thankfully. The movie had made quite an impression on him about honesty, ha, a bit of overkill on the topic. The second time, for us, Hubby and I, was when our younger son bought us holiday tickets to see the Broadway musical show, but here in Florida, at the Barbara B. Mann theater in Fort Myers back in the late nineteen nineties.
Netflix, yep we had cancelled Blockbuster last summer and went without until Hubby bought me this laptop in December and it came with a free month of the Netflix and it was such a good deal for only $8.99 a month after that, so we just continued, we had been foolishly paying $18.99 for Blockbuster.
Sure we have seen quite a few movies since and I am sorry that I haven't been critiquing them. I will try to rectify that over the next few months.
The idea of watching movies on a nearly ninety degree day, which many would consider a pool or beach day is a long time resident of Florida's concept of how to spend it, especially when you are unable to move due to body pain!
Yes, we all have our reasons for staying indoors when we know that so much is going on out in the world on a Sunday afternoon. We are aware of the Home and Garden show that was going on indoors all weekend, even for free at our own Charlotte Harbor Events and Conference Center less than five miles from our home.
But sadly it is a no go due to me being unable to sit again, straight up, that is; for me now it is either reclining or lying on my side with the pillow there for support.
Standing is very hard to do as well and my legs are in awful shape and have been dragged with me using my walker just to go to the bathroom. I have not even been able to go into the sun-room to use our old faithful desktop computer or go down that ramp to open it or the accordion blinds in there for the last few days; thanks to Hubby they have been opened though, just the blinds!
It is a good thing that Hubby bought this thingy, it has come in handy for me to publish my daily blogs...
Right now he is taking a break from waiting on me and picking up our dinner at Bob Evans, for me salmon and for him turkey; wow he's back now!
So on that note allow me to wish all of you a very happy good night and kindly count all your blessings and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
PS This version of Les Mis was wonderful too!
