the other day, as my housemate was leaving the house, the handle for the front door came off in his hand…

he wasn’t able to fix it then and when he got home we discovered that we didn’t have the correct tool to make the repair…

happily, no deliveries arrived and I didn’t have to go out the next day, lol…

once he had the right implement, it only took a few minutes to fix the problem;-)…

now I’m not afraid to open the door;-)…

well, talk about being treated royally…

three different present deliveries to me today… and one last night…

only spoke with each person for a second… it was chilly out there, but such a joy to have a socially distanced word with each of them… and these days that is an exceptional treat…

friends are gifts on their own;-)…

beverages…

on Tuesday my shopper/courier arrived after stopping at the liquor store to pick up some beverages;-)… little bottles of wine, not sure why, lol… and a bottle of my favourite sherry, which I haven’t had for years…

he took away a parcel for Canada Post and a couple of treats for him…

a bit later I received a delivery of groceries from Diversity Foods which included eggs for their house…

last evening my son-in-law stopped by on his way home from work and brought me some sidewalk salt… he took home the eggs…

still waiting on four deliveries from online purchases and thinking we might start a new tradition of after–Christmas presents…

raining…

more deliveries yesterday…

Shelmerdine delivered plants and two new bird feeders… it was raining when the truck arrived and the driver offered to put everything in the garage, which was very nice…

not much later UPS arrived with the items I had purchased online from Costco about ten days before…

this one really made me laugh because the parcel came from Airdre, Alberta, rather than the store that is less than four kilometres from my house… don’t think I will be ordering from there again;-(…

today I called and spoke with someone at Costco to see if my grandson could shop using my card and it is possible, so I won’t have to get things sent all the way from Alberta… I will call and let them know the date he will arrive to shop each time, but that is much better than having things travel from two provinces away… the person I spoke with advised that they are currently testing Instacart…

deliveries…

two deliveries on Monday… the big excitement for the day…

one from Saje Natural Wellness… it included more of the Sleep Well oil which I have been rolling on my feet at bedtime to help me sleep… and wool dryer balls for the laundry… I am excited to give these a try… up until now I’ve been using and reusing dryer sheets… the package is more than eight years old and still has a few in it, lol…

I also received a parcel from Shoppers Drugs with my medications for the next three months, as well as some vitamins and Vaseline (for the pole that holds the front bird feeder)… I am hoping that all the Vaseline that I slathered on the pole will keep the squirrels from climbing up and eating all the seeds…

since I put the Vaseline on the pole I’d seen the squirrel on the feeder but hadn’t seen how it got there… yesterday I stood and walked on the spot while watching to see if I could figure out if this was working…

finally I watched a squirrel try to climb up the pole and then slide down, lol… he seemed rather surprised;-)… after that, I went out and adjusted the feeder to make it a bit higher so that the bigger squirrels won’t be able to jump from the ground…
