on Monday, we had a “tour” of the redone basement when everyone arrived for our weekly gathering…

my housemate had tidied it up the evening before to be sure it was ready for the event, lol…

there is a lot of technology used in the space and it has been fun to watch as each piece has been installed…

it was interesting listening to the comments particularly as no one had been down there in years…

order…

by Monday morning the den was back to normal…

the mattress had gone upstairs on Saturday, and the tables and couch put back in their usual space… I also changed the orchids on the sofa table, putting the ones that are blooming onto the dining room table and the ones that aren’t into the den…

it wasn’t until Monday morning that the carpet and coffee table made it back into their spots… my housemate had to lift the couch so I could slide the carpet under the feet to hold it in place…

I’ve now added a tray on the side table to keep it from getting scratched and added some flowers…

nice to have things in order…

my housemate and I spent quite some time in the kitchen Sunday afternoon… someone suggested I might be a kitchen hoarder;-(…

we went through all the bottom cabinets, cleaned, added to the pass-along box, and threw out or recycled excess plastic…

took most of the afternoon but it looks lovely and all the shelves are newly organized…

I’m hoping that I can remember where everything is now, lol…

a few days ago my housemate made salsa… he even put on the new apron that he got for Christmas while he was chopping the ingredients…

it is delicious;-)…

checked out the new Jysk on Wednesday…

had a walkabout and found paper napkins at a great price, so I picked some up… I only use them for special occasions, as I use cloth regularly…

then I treated myself to snowflake flannel bedsheets and a sweet red heart-shaped cushion… merry Christmas to me;-)…

didn’t wait for Christmas morning, lol…

fun times…

it has been doing this since before I woke up this morning…

and it is still going on… it feels like it is soundless, quietly encompassing everything…

it is causing a lot of work…

but so pretty;-)…

on Saturday the motorcycle made its way into the shed for the winter, as this year it is staying with us;-)…

the oil was changed, the gas tank filled, and some fuel stabilizer added to keep it fluid…

it went for a bath and was ready to be put away…

there was just enough space to fit it into the shed…

now there is plenty of room in the garage for Indy, who just a few days ago got her not-so-pretty winter tires put on;-)…

we are ready…

changeover…

computer technology has not been my friend recently…

since our changeover to Shaw, in September, the printer hasn’t worked… it would not connect to the wifi…

my housemate tried numerous times to get it to connect, without success…

we ordered a special cord to connect the laptop directly to the printer… and that didn’t work either;-(…

just a few days ago, my housemate turned the router on and off a number of times and it finally connected… yay…

since then I have printed the big batch of photos that I’d been trying to get done for ages;-)… woohoo…

the desktop computer has been a bit grumpy for quite some time…

a month ago or so it just stopped working… I thought maybe it was the fan as I didn’t seem to be hearing any noise from it, so I turned it off and left it alone, lol…

recently my housemate discovered that it wasn’t working and checked on it…

of course it started up without a problem… it is like it knows someone who understands something is there so it behaves itself… but it was working very slowly…
