beloved, big girl pants, cleaning, declutter, George, steamer, wind chill

this morning I spent a bit of time in the kitchen… while I was cleaning the stove I was thinking of my beloved…

he had the strongest hands and arms… anything that needed serious scrubbing ended up as his job… that stove would have been spotless had he cleaned it, lol… he could also wring things out so there was no water at all left in them…

 
for breakfast I cooked some spinach in my new cute purple steamer… second time using it and it worked much better than the first time… cleaned up nicely as well… also used some of the frozen spinach for my lunch smoothie… came out great, so I can use frozen next time I run out of fresh, lol…

sun was shining all day, although it was -34 with the wind chill… got a nice shot of a couple of garage roofs which have squirrel paths all over them… not sure I’ve seen tracks on the neighbour’s garage before… 

  
while I was doing laundry I also went through all of the tops in my closet… filled a box with things that are too big… a friend is going to pick them up for a swap event they are having…

  
always happy when I’ve been able to do a bit of decluttering… George would have been proud…

big girl pants, cleaning, tidy

this morning I spent time tidying up the house… 

so it would be ready for the cleaning person…

always made me giggle when I used to hear from friends about how they were cleaning up before their cleaner arrived…

seems kind of silly to be cleaning for the cleaner…

of course now I understand…

everything needs to be in its place so the cleaner isn’t spending their time tidying when they should be cleaning…

amazing what you learn with age…

  
took this picture on my way out the door this morning… after all the tidying was done, lol…

teeth…

big girl pants, cleaning, dentist, George, insurance, mouth guard, teeth

thank goodness it is Friday…

had things on early three mornings in a row… today it was the dentist…

I do not like visiting the dentist, but I have gone every three to six months for the last 35 years… I had a few very bad experiences in my early twenties and made the decision to face my fear of dentists and be sure to get regular check-ups so I wouldn’t have to deal with any big issues…

lucky for me, my teeth are good, so I haven’t had too many problems…

unlike George… I think his teeth were made of marshmallow… he had at least two or three fillings in each of the teeth he had left… we do think we sent his dentist on a number of vacations over the years…

my insurance coverage from George’s work ran out in March and the new plan I was finally able to get doesn’t include dental… mainly because it was going to cost an additional hundred dollars a month and it seemed more sensible to just pay for my check-ups…

was quite worried that my front tooth might need a crown so was very happy to hear that the problem was staining from tea… hurray:-)…

unfortunately she did find a small cavity so I have to go back in a couple of weeks… I know she isn’t going to hurt me, but I will still be grasping the arms of the chair through the entire procedure…

have been wearing a mouth guard for a few years and will continue to, as it helps keep my teeth from grinding and wearing down the enamel…
