on Friday Dynacare came out to the house and took some blood for my next doctor’s appointment in a few weeks… the appointments are in four hour blocks and they arrived within half an hour of the start time…

hoping that my A1C remains in a good place as I continue to be careful about my eating habits… I am always nervous that the numbers may have gone up…

the technician was in and out of the house inside of ten minutes… for the first time they used a pillow to raise my arm to make the process simpler for them…

they are very good at what they do and once again there was barely a bruise…

happy to have the test done… no point in worrying anymore as I will find out in a week how I am doing;-)…

cutters…

over the last two or three weeks I’ve purchased a few different sets of Valentine cookie cutters as I’ve worked on a project…

the end result of the project didn’t turn out quite as well as I wanted, but after a lot of trial and error I was satisfied with the results…

so I decided to use the cookie cutters for their actual purpose, lol…

I made cookies for the first time in I don’t know how long…

I can’t even think of how many I have made over the years… I made them for every holiday for the girls’ classmates as well as for family and friends…

it was fun to make them again as I remembered so many I had previously produced…

they came out very nicely and we have been enjoying them…

scrubbed…

spent some quality time with the fish over the last few days;-)…

pumps were scrubbed out and tank glass was cleaned…

I have started to feed them every other day to see if they might eat some of the algae on the rocks…

not sure if they are mad at me or not, lol…

leaking…

Tuesday we went to Costco and I got a new set of attachments for the hose…

sadly, the current attachment has been leaking for awhile and the hose doesn’t expand without an attachment…

hoping that all three will work well… fingers crossed…

adjustments, appointment, big girl pants, blessed, fail, furnace, Gas, high energy, inspection, Manitoba Hydro, moments, Technology, weather, widow

so, on Thursday, the Manitoba Hydro inspector came to check the installation of the new furnace…

sadly, we didn’t pass inspection…

as he worked he shared what he was looking at and pointed out a few issues which he felt needed to be corrected…

once he was finished everything got written up and I had to sign the paperwork…

apparently the furnace company has thirty days to make the adjustments at which time I have to call and have them back to test it again…

the good news is that none of the items mean the furnace isn’t working, and because we previously had a high efficiency furnace we don’t have to have any adjustments made to the gas hot water heater until it needs to be replaced;-)… phew…

now on to the adjustments and recheck…
