had a wonderful final day of work…

I’d spent time planning what I would like to do, and was able to accomplish everything on my list;-)…

spent time individually with each person on staff, thanking them for our time together, and listening to some of their stories…

lots of fun taking selfies with each person after our visit… missed the one person who wasn’t in the office…

had lunch with a very special woman and ended the day taking a final group photo and receiving gifts…

to top off the day, picked up Chinese food and had dinner with a few good friends…

last night we brought home the last of the plants, which included two good sized orchids…

it has been bitterly cold the last few days, but it appears that they made the trip okay… my colleague warmed up the car and the plants were wrapped with plastic… both of these directives were provided by our office plant whisperer;-)…

tonight the final collection of items consisted of two boxes and my artwork…

we were especially careful with my canvas because I plan to replace the one that is currently on the purple living room wall…

tomorrow I won’t have anything to bring home, other than me...

this morning I let the alarm go off and let it play the whole song as I considered that I will only need it for two more days…

I might have to get up early in the future, but not for work;-)…

usually I wake up before the alarm rings, so I don’t often have to turn it off…

two more days… hard to believe I have made it to this place… it is exciting and a bit scary…

going to start with lots of rest, relaxation, and maybe even some reading…

counting down these last few working days…

today I wrote procedures, did a bit of training, tidied files, and boxed up a number of my plants…

clearly I should have moved the plants last week when it was around zero… today is was -27…

it looks like they made it okay… I’ve emptied the box and tomorrow I will bring home the remaining plants;-)…

and then we will see…

had the most wonderful quiet day today… I am particularly happy about this as I anticipate that the next four days are going to be packed…

wrote a few cards to pop into the mail, made chili and spaghetti with meat sauce, and put away the last few groceries from yesterday’s shopping trip…

the chili came out great… I added some hamburger and onion to the basics… delicious…

missed having the boys for dinner, but they were busy… we are planning to make a gingerbread house next time they are over…

packaged up some meals to share and for the coming week…

had a number of phone calls and enjoyed a few Christmas movies as well…

nice;-)…

last Friday I was presented with a lovely bouquet of flowers by our Board…

I have been taking pictures of them ever since… so happy to have my camera back to do so…

today I trimmed the stems and put the flowers into a different vase…

flowers make me happy and taking pictures of them is very relaxing…

yesterday there was fresh fluffy snow covering the ground… it also dusted the wreath at the front door…

the sidewalk always looks so beautiful under a fresh snowfall… more so if you don’t need to walk out there…

this morning the icicles were shining in the sunlight as I left the house and then a bit later I spotted this deer as I was out and about…

the sun shining all day was a wonderful bonus;-)…

woke up this morning thinking of my beloved… he’s been gone for seven and a half years, and I miss him every day…

I try not to use the same photos in more than one medium, but this is one of my favourites, so I am sharing it broadly…

he would have been 71… in his honour I made bacon and eggs over easy for breakfast, lol…

put on a purple plaid shirt and jeans… he was always in jeans and had a favourite plaid shirt that he often wore…

after a busy day, my grandson met me at work, we ran a few errands and had dinner out…

ended our meal with apple crisp and ice cream… my beloved made the best apple pie;-)…

lovely day filled with happy memories…
