made fish and chips for my supper recently…
the house smelled of cooking oil… triggered some lovely memories…
on aquasize night when I got home, there would always be fish and chips ready…
and my beloved made the world’s best french fries…

recently a few people have commented on the plants in the office…
my space is filled with orchids, violets and other greenery…
I always give credit to our plant whisperer who keeps the green things extra green…
I also mention how much I enjoy my orchids… sometimes they bloom a second and third time… it is so exciting when that happens…
lovely to spend my day in a garden;-)..

just reached 350 followers on WordPress…
laughed the other day when a friend introduced me and said that I had 3000 followers… really made me giggle, lol… 300… 3000… very close;-)…
it has taken six years to reach that number…
had me thinking of the changes over that time… how the blog has gone from information on what to do when you become a widow/widower to my daily life…
my life really has been blessed… as I continue to put on those big girl pants…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, family, memories, moments, organized, prepared, review, widow, will
recently I’ve heard a lot about Wills…
today on tv they were discussing the need for one, and how most people don’t get that piece of organization done…
I did mine in July of 2012… and I likely need to update it as they mentioned you should review it every five years or so…
amazingly, it has been over seven years since it was written… it was shortly after my beloved died and I was getting ready to have major surgery… I wanted to have my affairs in order on the chance that I didn’t make it… wanted things to be as easy as possible for the girls…
rather proud that I was able to put my fingers on it right away when I went looking, lol…

big girl pants, blessed, feet, friend, moments, pedicure, purple, sensitive, treat, visit, widow
went for a pedicure with a great friend who I hadn’t seen in quite a while…
it was lovely to spend time together and catch up on one another’s goings on…
when I first started getting pedicures they were very difficult as my feet are sensitive and it was hard to sit through all the cutting, filing, and pushing that is part of the process…
recently that hasn’t been a problem, but this time one foot was just so sensitive that I could barely stand the process…
my esthetician rewarded me with an extra long massage when it was all done;-)…
and I have pretty toes again…

the sun shone all day yesterday… what a treat as it has been overcast for days…
got a lovely shot of the little orchid amidst shadows at my desk…
and as I walked along the street on my way home I got a few shots of the bright light…
lots of Halloween decorations to see too…

interesting that today I got my flu shot… finally had the chance to check to see if the drug store across the street had the vaccine available…
all over the news tonight they have been talking about how tough and early this year’s flu season might be…
was part of a conversation about why a person might or might not get the shot…
for me, it has to do with my own health, but also with being in proximity of individuals who are immune compromised… I don’t want to cause someone else to get ill because I didn’t take preventive measures;-)…

big girl pants, blessed, customer service, Fitbit, moments, replacement, Technology, version, widow
I’ve had a Fitbit for 5 years and I really like it…
in that time I’ve probably had about three versions of them…
I’ve also had a few replaced due to various problems…
last week I sent them a photo of my Fitbit screen as it had been filled with gray lines for about a week…
they responded the same day and offered up a few suggestions as to what I might try… after I tried their ideas and nothing changed, they advised that my Fitbit was still under warranty so they sent me a replacement, which arrived yesterday…
last night I set it up and it is working perfectly…
they sure provide excellent customer service…
