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…

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…
