spent a good portion of Thursday out and about shopping… I am getting much braver these days although I still wear a mask everywhere…

were in Home Depot and Rona, getting bits and pieces to fix a few things in the house… then we wandered up and down every aisle at Costco and picked up a few items…

our final stop was Safeway where I was able to obtain some flowering plants and a few bunches of flowers…

and everyone knows they make me happy, lol…

hearts are turning up all over the place…

hanging in the front window, and looking so nice when the sun shines through them…

on a shelf, grouped together…

next to a plant to enjoy in the bathroom…

even on a shelf in the kitchen…

they make me smile…

to make cleaning easier I always put most of the items on the bedside table into the drawer before the cleaners arrive…

after they leave I bring the items back out…

I absolutely love the amethyst heart that I purchased for my birthday when we were in Hawaii…

it sits at the edge of the Google Display and makes me smile every time I see it;-)…

took it downstairs into the sunlight to get a good photo before returning it back to its spot;-)…

great excitement…

got a call from my next door neighbour… we are both readers and share books on a regular basis…

she was at a thrift store and found books by one of our favourite authors… she wanted to check to see if we had read all the ones that were available…

we chatted and went through the list that I’ve made as I’ve read the books… I used the list inside one of the covers and have noted each book we’ve read…

we discovered six… yay…

once she dropped them off, I went through the list and marked the books in order of where they are on the list, which is the order I will read them… I also included three that I had just purchased…

so, you may not hear from me for a while, lol…

excellent report at my recent appointment with my doctor…

both my blood pressure and A1C results were good and after some conversation we agreed that I don’t need to have my A1C tested for six months… and I don’t need to have my blood pressure checked until then either…

so I don’t need to see him again until July, woohoo…

he had mentioned last time that he may have to let go of some of his patients as everyone has come back after not seeing a doctor for two or three years and the load is just too heavy and isn’t slowing down at all…

that made me worry a bit, but while we were talking he advised that he won’t let any of his seniors go… a weight off my shoulders, lol…

great news all around…

celebrated with sushi for lunch;-)…

Tuesday was my third trip to The Leaf…

they are making improvements all the time… it looks like they may soon have machines so you can purchase your ticket without standing in line…

we had a lovely time walking through the biomes… it was quite warm and humid in the tropical biome and there weren’t too many people when we arrived around ten am… by the time we left, just before noon, the place was starting to fill up…

the gardeners were working in the space cleaning up fallen leaves and checking the temperatures around the various areas… had a lovely chat with one of them…
