my goodness, seemed like a very long day…

MTS came around noon and spent two hours outside (in the very cold weather)… going back and forth many times between a ladder up to wires in the back lane, through the snow, and up the side of the house… eventually, they made a connection which should double the speed of my internet….

then they spent over an hour in the house changing the router and the boxes for the TVs…

none of it seemed to go smoothly, lol…

after they left, we spent another hour updating all of the Google Home devices and we still have a few that are not cooperating…

on some of the colder days, I’ve been wrapping up in a blanket when I sit and read in the living room…

Ive been using the crocheted one that I made a few years ago and just recently found a post telling me that I finished it two years ago on February 7, 2021…

it is very cozy and I enjoy using it…

spent a good portion of Thursday out and about shopping… I am getting much braver these days although I still wear a mask everywhere…

were in Home Depot and Rona, getting bits and pieces to fix a few things in the house… then we wandered up and down every aisle at Costco and picked up a few items…

our final stop was Safeway where I was able to obtain some flowering plants and a few bunches of flowers…

and everyone knows they make me happy, lol…

Tuesday was a very busy and rather exciting day…

around 5:30 vehicles began to arrive with boxes and furniture, as my grandson moved into the basement for the next while… of course, by that time it was snowing and blowing…

the empty space was all of a sudden filled up with stuff again, in a very messy way… yikes…

after all the stuff was brought in, we had pizza and wings to thank the helpers and celebrate the move being completed…

I was happy because I got a heart-shaped one, ate half of it, and saved the rest for lunch the next day…

my grandson and I have been working away in the basement…

we have now been through all of the boxes from after the 2013 hot water tank flood… apparently I didn’t really need the stuff that was in them… we have tossed out, recycled, and packed up a huge amount to give away to the pass-me-over folks…

we even went deep under the stairs and discovered lots more stuff that has nearly all been dealt with…

looked like a bit of a disaster down there, but it is coming along… always interesting how the process moves from stuff everywhere, to more stuff everywhere, to finally organized… apparently it was so bad, I didn’t even take photos of the worst period, lol…

the space was nearly emptied, an item was sold, a few things will be going online for sale, items were given to a small business that helps women starting fresh… and there was a big pile of things for donation… besides filling the garbage bin, a large collection of items is in the garage waiting for the next few garbage days…

we have done a great job and I am thrilled to have this all done;-)… a great stress has been removed from my shoulders…

research…

I was checking my pink avocado plant and was reminded of when it was first planted…

since then it has grown quite a bit and is still pink, although there are little bits of green on some leaves…

not sure if it has some type of issue or not… more research might suggest it is an albino plant and that it may not live for too long…

will continue to watch and see how it does…

had a great visit with my BS friends…

there were candy hearts, chocolates, nuts, and cards… oh yes, and coffee…

one of us is away and joined via FaceTime…

she is mixed in amongst the orchids, lol…

remember to let someone know you love them today and every day🥰…

someone built a very nice snowperson a few weeks ago and it has been happily sitting in the field across the way and I’ve enjoyed watching it…

recently, with the warmer weather, it has started to shrink a bit;-(…

and yesterday, when I looked out the back, I noticed this lovely necklace hanging from the bird feeder…

looks like a cool sculpture… wonder how it will look next…

up early on Friday to put out the box of pass-me-along items…

had to go back upstairs and get the phone to take a few shots of the beautiful moon…

tried to use my Nikon, but the battery was dead, lol… it is now sitting on the counter getting charged… I think I’ve hit something that is keeping it on wifi all the time which is why the battery keeps dying… going to have to do a bit of research to fix that😳…

so, the moon isn’t quite as clear as I was hoping for, but it does show how beautiful the morning was;-)…

good start to the day;-)…
