a few years ago my daughter introduced me to the Google maps app…

I have really found it to be helpful…

I’m a visual person and like to know where I am going, so looking up an address and then seeing a picture of the spot, or something close by is very reassuring…

I have to take back the crutches I rented from the hospital and now know exactly where I have to go… takes the stress out of finding a new place, lol…

reminded me of trying to find things in the past with a paper map… trying to unfold and refold, depending on the spot we were trying to get to… and rarely getting it put back correctly… sometimes there might have been some grumbling…

technology can be wonderful;-)…

well, my ear is doing much better… so far the meds are working with no side effects…

my technique is to take a photo of the box just before or after I use the drops so that I can remember what time I need to take them next, lol…

took the shot in a hurry this morning…

helpful, though…

anyone who knows me, knows that my body does not deal with drugs (medication, lol) at all well…

since I was small taking any prescription drug was difficult as before the time it should be taken until, my body would start to react… usually it would start to burn my body, or make me feel sick…

over the years I have been able to reduce the amount needed or just not take any… the side effects are usually much worse than the pain they might be blocking…

I’ve been taking something for pain and inflammation in my knee since Saturday… I was using pills that I’ve taken a few times and haven’t caused any problems for me…

a friend went looking for a new bottle as this one was nearly empty and I will likely need them for a few more days… and of course I also need something that is small so I can swallow it, lol…

she went to three or four places trying to find them, but couldn’t…

eventually we figured out that I might have picked up this bottle in Hawaii, lol…

I’ve felt like I burnt my tongue drinking my tea since yesterday, and have just come to realize it is a reaction to the drugs…

maybe the ointment she picked up will work sufficiently on its own, sigh…

so… all summer I woke up in the morning and the light from outside was enough to start my day…

now I am talking to Google so she can turn on the lights, advise the temperature in the house, share information about the weather and the drive to work…

as I leave the house I have to remember to tell her I am out of here so she turns everything off, or down, for the day…

feels too soon to be back into this practice…

been rushing out to the garden every time I get home to see if the water lily has bloomed…

it has opened up quite a bit… weather has been cool which doesn’t help… not sure if it is finished or not…

and for whatever reason I haven’t been able to get good pictures… the yellow in the centre always turns fuzzy… weird…

Monday I considered turning on the bedroom light when I first got up…

there is less light every day, sigh… this is always one of the sadder happenings mid August…

at night I am now turning on the lights that run along the bannister on the stairs… those lights haven’t been on for months…

time is flying by more and more quickly…

although later in the evening I did enjoy spending a few minutes at the window as I was going downstairs to watch the solar lights start twinkling on… arrived at just the right moment;-)…

have to celebrate the little things…

spent a lot of time with the water lilies in the Gardens… went from one to another, viewing and taking pictures… many of them had tiny frogs sitting on the lily pads…

water has always been important to me and it always draws me in…

wasn’t sure that the two lilies in my pond were going to have flowers, but I remained hopeful…

and this morning I spotted a bud;-)… woo hoo… excited to see the flower…

so excited because I found a new way to download my iPhone photos in a quick and simple way…

picked up this iXpand Flash Drive SanDisk which holds 64 gb…

while I was sitting in the parking lot of the store, I downloaded the app and saved 1800 photos to the drive… all in about five minutes…

previous methods I’ve used have taken way longer to copy pictures…

easy to find the pictures by date and then copy them back to the iPhone if needed…

oh, I think I’m going to have lots of fun…

had some fun taking photos of the moon setting and the sun rising…

ran back and forth from the front of the house, to the back to get the pictures…

amongst all the back and forth-ing, I also caught a shot of a plane and a bunny…

just a few days before that, I’d tried to get a shot of the full moon as it was setting, but clouds got in my way…

met a wonderful dear woman for a pedicure recently…

we haven’t had an opportunity to visit for ages, so it was fabulous to have time together… we worked together for a few years and clicked instantly… she made my life so much better…

we both chose shades of purple for our toes and then were treated to excellent service by our technicians…

so blessed to have the opportunity to spend time with special friends… life is good…
