my camera fell off a table at work at the beginning of November…

the viewfinder popped off… this camera doesn’t have the old-fashioned type of viewfinder, only the electronic version…

I tried to stick it back on, but the screen remained black… can’t really take photos when you can’t see what is in the viewer… was so upset that I didn’t even get a shot of the before, lol…

called the photo store only to discover I purchased the camera last September… so, no warranty, sigh…

then I called the camera hospital and sent it over by courier so that it could get repaired before the holiday season…

it has been a long time, but this morning it returned to the office… put my memory card back in and took a few photos right away…

so happy to have it back… I enjoy my iPhone camera but have really missed this one…

I am a very happy camper today;-)…

rushed home to be here in time for my appointment with MTS… they were coming to fix the PVR and I didn’t want to be late because it hasn’t been working since last Wednesday…

my new friend Anthony fixed the main PVR in the basement and then sorted out an issue I’ve been having with the main floor tv… he had already done some work online during the afternoon to help the wifi work better… finally, he had a recommendation to make the tv picture better so I need to pick up a different cable…

this little box is the solution to my viewing problems… hurray…

and there was a parcel in the mailbox… it had a few items for other people, plus lots of chocolate for me… and a package that I get to open on the first day of Advent;-)…

pretty fine day…

great time with my boys today…

we went out for lunch, did some shopping, and emptied and refilled the hot tub in under an hour…

that was pretty amazing because usually it takes about five hours to do this… think I will use this process in the future…

found out that the PVRs are broken, which explained why neither I or the guys could get any of them working… set up an appointment for someone to come out and do a repair during the week… missing a number of shows, sigh…

finally, we added a light strip along the staircase… it is going to be a great addition to my Google Home…

much cleaner looking than the twinkle lights were;-)…

ended our time with dinner in, and then they were off to watch the Jets game at home…

pitch dark at 5:59 am and I am jerked awake by the sound of the phone ringing…

heart pounding I grab the receiver to hear an automated voice telling me my credit card has been used to make a purchase…

this is not the first time I’ve had this call so I know it is a scam and hang up…

takes at least fifteen minutes for my heartbeat to return to normal…

not really the way I want to start my day…

was in the basement doing laundry when I heard scraping sounds…

excited to discover that my shoveler was in the backyard clearing snow from the deck…

I knew he was going to come again this year, but wasn’t sure of what it would cost so checked with him while he was here…

wrote cheques for the season and chatted with him for a few moments before he left..

this year I will text him as soon as the city clears the street… and produces the pile of snow at the end of the sidewalk… they are fairly good with clearing the driveway but do not even attempt the sidewalk… if you don’t clean it up quickly it turns into blocks of ice that are very difficult to remove…

my visitors use the sidewalk, so our plan is to get ahead of the lumps of packed snow if we can;-)…

very happy that he is thinking of ways to make the shovelling easier…

been laughing off and on for days…

all of a sudden, a few days ago, it sounded like the computer was making a noise each time I received a text message or phone call on my iPhone…

it was kind of creeping me out…

a few nights ago, while I was on the phone with my daughter I heard it again and then I heard something fall…

that’s when I started laughing because I realized that it was the old Fitbit which I had put on the shelf in the hall and hadn’t disconnected…

it was vibrating and responding to each text and call and eventually vibrated right off the shelf…

found it on the stairs, lol…

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…

Saturday the sun came out for most of the afternoon… wonderful after two days of snow…

watched the hydro power wires from the lane to the house off and on all day…

early in the day I noticed that two of the cedar branches were hanging on the wire…

checked online and with family but couldn’t decide whether it was safe to go out and knock the snow off so the branches would get off the wire and there wouldn’t be any problem with the house’s power…

as the day went on the snow melted and first one, then the other lifted off the wire… made me very happy…

many cedar branches in the yard have been bent way over but it looks as if they will all recover… that is not the outcome for many, many trees in the city;-(…

as the weather is getting cooler (in what seems to be) daily, I’m enjoying some of the great benefits that Indi provides…

instead of turning up the heat, I just turn on the seat warmer… a toasty bottom makes all of me feel warm, lol…

and I love the warmer on my steering wheel… don’t need my little gloves just yet;-)…

although I wish the entire wheel was warmed…

technology;-)…
