a few days ago my Fitbit wouldn’t connect to my phone… very odd…
then, all of a sudden, the screen went black… I put it on the charger, but that didn’t make a difference…
eventually I went online and found instructions on how to restart the Charge 5…
I followed the instructions and put it on the charger overnight…
happily, it worked perfectly after that;-)…

waited for my Fitbit to charge before going out to shovel the sidewalk today…
and when I got back into the house, there was the Fitbit, sitting on the counter, still attached to the charger…
really not counting the steps, lol…

on May 25th the new doorbell arrived…
no time to sort it out until that Sunday when I was able to charge it…
on Monday, the 29th, we managed to get it up onto the doorframe and working…
since then it has worked on and off… the battery is supposed to last for three weeks, but late on Saturday it advised it turned itself off and needed to be charged…
I found the special key to remove it from the door, then the charging cord, charged it, and was able to hook it back up…
woohoo;-)…

so excited to get an electric toothbrush for Christmas… I’ve been wanting one for a number of years, but just hadn’t gotten around to doing anything about it…
once I figured out how to get it put together, I sat it on the edge of the sink and plugged it in…
it took quite awhile to charge, but once it was done I unplugged it and put the charger away… I didn’t want it sitting so close to the water…
eventually I figured out that it could sit in the cabinet to charge, so that is what I did when it needed to be recharged… feels safer as it charges, without being near the water;-)…
once fully charged, I will move the charger back under the sink…

I’ve been spending a bit of time with my Olympus camera, getting to know it again…
it had been sitting on the shelf for a long time because I had misplaced the charger…
my son-in-law was able to find one online for me and I recently received it…
I dug out the manual, read through it and have started to take more pictures… I never thought it worked as well as my Nikon, but maybe I didn’t give it a chance, lol…
we shall see…

I’ve been frustrated for a long time because I couldn’t find my Kobo reader… I think I started the search around May…
I came across it ages before that and put it away carefully, sigh… at that point I also had no idea where the charger was for it…
so, I knew it was here, and I’d been searching everywhere for it, particularly after my daughter suggested that one of the universal chargers would likely power it up…
I’ve been using the tablet, but that only works in the house due to the way that the light bounces off it outside… so that meant I needed paper books all summer, lol… I still have one last book from my last online summer purchases…
this morning I was tidying in the bedroom and there it was tucked in along the edge of one of the shelves…
honestly…
and I even found a charger that worked, from my old Blackberry, lol…
woohoo… gonna get reading;-)…

I’ve finished all the new books I had and was trying to decide if I should start rereading an old one…
I thought I could read something on my Kobo, but couldn’t remember where I put the charger, lol…
but then I decided to download the app onto the tablet which I got with my last iPhone and haven’t been using…
the bonus was that I had purchased a number of books which I hadn’t yet read… and by some of my favourite authors…
I’ve spent a good portion of the day cuddled up under a blanket in the living room reading, as the snow fell…
