had to laugh the other day…
I got a sticker with a bluejay on it in the mail from Nature Conservancy Canada…
and the next day, as I was walking outside, I heard a bluejay calling…
good timing on the part of NCC, lol…although I won’t put the sticker on the car…

we went out for a hot tub in the daylight🤪…
can’t even think of the last time that happened, lol…
it was fun to check out the trees, birds, and squirrels…
sadly there is still a lot of snow out there, sigh…

planned to start our errands with lunch at Sushi Cushi, only to discover that they open at 4 on Sundays;-(…
so, we decided to have dinner there instead…
the parking lot was jammed with cars and we wondered if we would get in, but happily, there were tables available…
sometimes we order and pick it up, but eating in is a treat;-)…
as always our food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite…

big girl pants, blessed, facecloth, kleenex, Last Object, moments, paper towel, widow
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…

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, 🤞…
