the kids stopped by and brought me some Halloween candy…

they fixed a problem with the printer and then stacked and covered the outdoor chairs and tables with another large tarpaulin… too bad the tarps aren’t the same colour, lol… the job went very smoothly…

they work so much more quickly than I do, lol…

the top deck is cleaned off and now there is more space in the kitchen where the footstool and cushions for one of the chairs were… the cushions have moved into the garage for the winter…

every step is helpful…

was out and about like normal people on Wednesday…

walked to the community club to vote, then to the IDA drugstore and back home…

after lunch drove to Staples, Home Depot, and Chapters…

wore my mask whenever I was inside and felt pretty good about the whole business, lol…

gave my hands a good washing each time I arrived home…

had bloodwork done again yesterday morning…

when I was at my appointment recently, the doctor advised they hadn’t received a report from Dynacare with numbers for my A1C…

I had it taken a week ago, so he checked online, and it said there was no sample… once I got home I gave them a call and was told someone would call and they would come out to take it again at no charge…

apparently, something happened in the lab…

I am still happy to pay for them to come to the house to get this done, rather than go to a busy lab…

got two shots…

both needles in my right arm…

the flu shot was at the doctor’s office, but then I had to go to a local drugstore for the Pfizer bivalent vaccine…

apparently the Manitoba immunization schedule says that six months is needed between the boosters although drugstores are allowed to give the vaccine after three months…

interesting times…

woke up to a thunderstorm yesterday… then had a nice walk, even in the wind and rain…

had to hang on to my hood so that it didn’t blow right off my head, lol… leaves were flying all over the place, but the rain had stopped…

when I came to a corner, the street was filled with water… up to the curb and edge of the tires on a nearby car…

when I walked by, maybe half an hour later, thankfully the water was all gone…

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the walk…

took my first taxi since before the pandemic…

arranged ahead of time for a pickup to go downtown, and then walked to the Delta to get another one to come home…

had to go in and ask the concierge to call for one… I guess with less people downtown the taxis don’t sit outside the hotels all the time…

wore my mask for both trips and so did they…

went out and took a few photos of the freshly blown leaves that my grandson dealt with the other night…

the plan was to clear off the decks and make a path to the back gate… that way it will be easier to shovel, sigh…

been doing lots of reading suggesting that leaving the leaves in the garden is beneficial to little critters…

this was how it looked before… lots of leaves, particularly as I don’t have any deciduous trees, lol…

a few days ago my new iPhone arrived…

my grandson arranged the whole thing and brought over the new phone…

he transferred all the data, made sure everything was working and added a protective screen…

transferring from one phone to another is certainly much easier than the last time I upgraded my phone…

I’ve taken a few pictures and am very impressed with the results…

now I will have to learn what is new and different…

wish me luck🤪

now that the pond is empty and covered with the tarp, the camera isn’t really needed, so it came into the house…

happily, the bottom of it fit perfectly on the camera tripod…

set it up by the window where the bird feeder is attached…

this is particularly good now as the mandevilla blocks the view through the window…

looking forward to getting some great views of the guests at the feeder;-)…

had a delicious dinner recently…

it was great to share a meal inside as we’ve eaten outdoors all summer…

the roast came out perfectly, which made me very happy as the last time I cooked one, it was overdone, lol…

the gravy and the carrots were yummy… and I did have salad afterwards;-)…

good times…
