big girl pants, boil water advisory, daffodils, fresh, pottery

spent some time this morning getting a few shots of the daffodils I picked up on Sunday when Jeff and I went grocery shopping…

so happy to have fresh flowers in the house… even took a few to the office today… brightened up my desk nicely…

had a wonderful call with a friend tonight… haven’t connected for a while so it was lovely to have the opportunity to catch up…

both of the kids here called me tonight to let me know about the boil water advisory in the city… made me think that they consider me fragile… and maybe I am, sigh… have heard from other friends by email and Facebook…

bought this gorgeous cup when I went looking for a cream and sugar I had seen on Facebook… sadly they weren’t the correct colour but I was excited to see this cup… had first seen these pieces when we were at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights over Christmas…

usually I gravitate toward blues and purples, but this earthy tone took my fancy…

I find that drinking water out of pottery makes it taste better… still not that fond of water for drinking, but I am working at it and getting more down…

waited…

big girl pants, Cancer Society, daffodils, eye appointment, haircut, snowplow, waited

rushed home from work, opened the garage to take the car out to go for an eye appointment…

and found the car was covered in snow from the storm on Sunday, when we had it out to barbecue in the garage…

quickly cleaned it off and headed to the appointment… they had booked it a year ago when I was there, but I was not on their schedule today… very kindly they said they would fit me in, but it did mean that I had to wait… probably for about 45 minutes…

left there about 6:30 and went to get a haircut… when I got there was told there were three people ahead of me… decided to wait, thinking maybe 40 minutes or so…

left there at 8:30…

still hadn’t had dinner…

drove down my street to discover that the plows had been down on their first run, but had not cleared out the driveway and there is a hill about a foot high and a couple of feet deep…

parked on the street and then spent half an hour shovelling an area that I guessed the car would fit through…

didn’t want to leave the car on the street in case they hit it as they were working at cleaning the driveways…

happily I got it into the driveway and parked in the garage without a problem…

finally got some supper and while I was eating I heard the plows coming down the street to clean out the driveways, lol…

happy I had these beautiful daffodils at my desk today… they were a fundraiser for the Cancer Society…

just this minute realized that I hadn’t closed the garage door… yikes…

Clay Oven, daffodils, Mobile Maitre d, sun shine

sitting here looking at the beautiful daffodils that we received Monday at the office… I brought them home yesterday and they are still quite amazing… they were in support of the Cancer Society…

bright Spring daffodils...

bright Spring daffodils…

the sun was shining all day and it was light until nearly 8… both of which make me happy…

I have enjoyed a very rest-full day… made my mind up that I wasn’t going out and would take it easy…

packed up a few glasses to donate, watered plants, put chemicals in the hot tub, put a brighter comforter on the bed, read, and watched shows I had PVRed…

that PVR business is very very bad… but I got to watch lots of great shows…

there were other things I could have done, but my body was craving some rest, so that is what I focussed on…

then, to top it off, I ordered dinner from the Clay Oven… I sure do like Mobile Maitre’d…

of course, this means that tomorrow will be packed with things to get done, lol…

that’s okay…
