recently someone commented on my Last Object “kleenex”…

I have been using them for about six years and am very happy with them…

it also brought to mind my “paper towels”…

since the beginning of 2020, I have been using old facecloths and napkins instead of paper… there are still a few thing I use actual paper towels for… particularly things like bacon when it cooks in the microwave, lol…

once they get used, they go into a basket in the laundry room and when it is full, into the washer… dried, folded, and returned to the cupboard, then the top of the microwave to be used…

and repeat…

finally had the time to spend curled up in the sun on the bed… usually by the time I think of it, the sun has already left the bed;-)…

it was warm and cozy, lol…

so happy that the season is moving forward and before you know it, there will be time spent on the deck in the sunshine as well…

spring-y…

time to change the living room table…

put away the L O V E letters and found a beautiful spring scarf that my daughter gave me from her trip to Italy…

once the scarf was down, all of the seed packets we have went into the four squares…

then I put the driftwood with the dragonfly on it onto the table…

finally, cushions came down from upstairs and replaced the ones that had been on the sofa…

feels spring-y…

been putting off dealing with the taxes, sigh…

finally sat down in the computer room and got to work on all the documents I needed to send in…

just recently a friend shared that the pharmacy could provide a list of all my prescriptions for the year… saved me a lot of pasting, as I would organize and stick all the receipts in date order from the pharmacy on letter paper and then scan the pages, lol…

thankfully I had printed a hard copy of most of the donation receipts which was handy when I was searching for all of them in my email, lol…

took a minute, but eventually I figured out how to scan things to the computer and locate where they landed…

then shockingly, I also remembered how to get into the Portal and was able to upload all of the pieces of information…

I think, 🤞…

I am always surprised as to how much water evaporates in the house on a regular basis…

Monday mornings I add about twelve litres of water to the fish condos as the water has gone down a significant amount since the previous week…

I have a Tupperware container that lives under the kitchen sink and is filled with water for the plants…

the plants get watered on Wednesdays weekly, but the tanks are topped up on Mondays…

the reason it is Monday is that my friends come every Monday afternoon and the less water in the tanks, the more noise the pumps make, and the loud noise can disrupt our conversation…

cannot interrupt important conversations, especially if one of us is on the phone…

I was wanting some comfort food recently and couldn’t think of what I wanted…

eventually I decided on Kraft Dinner… hadn’t had any in ages, but had a box in the pantry;-)…

it was delicious and just what I needed…

funny what can provide comfort when you are craving it…

a while ago, I pulled a muscle in my lower abdomen…

it took awhile to get confirmation as I thought it was something else, lol…

apparently, shovelling is a really bad thing to do, which is unfortunate… usually I shovel the steps and front sidewalk… it doesn’t take that long, but after I shovelled last week, the pain got more intense…

so, today, when I had to go out, I decided not to shovel… it was difficult, but I remember the pain…

so I went out the back and walked in the tire tracks down to the street to get in the Uber…

will be getting my housemate to clear it up;-)…

thinking back to Tuesday’s pancake supper…

besides the lovely pancakes, I made a potato pancake with the last little bit of batter to which I added a shredded potato…

topped it with sour cream and a slice of bacon…

this continues to be my favourite pancake;-)…
