anniversary, beloved, big girl pants, butterfly, death, dye, jeans, orchid, widow

took a few pictures of the orchid this morning…

  
the blossoms are now falling each day…

  
still beautiful in their own way…

wore my new jeans today and everyone loved them…

  
some of the detail on the back…

  
all day I kept trying to figure out what was making my hands blue… must have washed them a dozen times to get the colour off…

finally mentioned it, only to learn that I should have washed the jeans with salt or vinegar before wearing them the first time… it was the dye that was rubbing off on my hands, lol… clear that I am not a jean connoisseur… good thing I learned this before sitting on my couch, lol…

been thinking of my beloved more than usual… tomorrow marks four years since his death… seems to me that the week or so before the anniversary is more difficult than the actual day…

looking through photos I decided on this one for my Facebook profile picture…

  
we had spent a lovely time at the zoo with our youngest grandson and just came out of the butterfly garden… he was tired and had a seat on the lovely bench while trying to convince the little guy to join him… doesn’t he look like an angel…

I miss him…

together…

big girl pants, curry, DavidsTea, errands, jeans, lentils, purple, shoveler, snow, together

up and about fairly early for a day off…

ran some errands and picked up my hemmed jeans… my girls will be so proud:-)…

  
found a few pairs of socks and a nice white t shirt to go together with the jeans…

stopped in at DAVIDsTEA for the free cup that I heard about by email… really enjoyed the Mom’s Apple Pie flavour… and came away with this, lol…

 
it is a gorgeous shade of purple and keeps things hot or cold… also collected some tea that I had earned… 

my shoveler came after school and cleaned up all the snow… it was really cold out and he had to come in midway to warm up his hands…

  

we had supper – the red lentil curry – and he headed home on the bus, with curry, chicken and dumplings, and pistachios in his bag… 

always enjoy spending time together…

 

enjoy…

big girl pants, Cleo, enjoy, hoarfrost, jeans, moon, ring, shopping

the moon last night was spectacular… every time I went past a window I would take a few minutes to admire it… decided to just enjoy it and not even try to take any pictures…

trees were lovely this morning… lots of hoarfrost… was happy to look at them every chance I had on the drive in to work…

left early and had a lovely time shopping at Polo Park… eventually picked a pair of jeans and dropped them off to be hemmed… can’t ever find any pants that don’t have to be taken up…

I mentioned it to the woman who was helping me at Cleo and she gave me a 10% off card for Stitches for the hemming…

stopped at the Peoples Jewellers store to have my wedding band cleaned and had a lovely browse through their rings… saw a pretty amethyst one… my ring is getting loose and I wonder what I will do when it is too big to stay on my finger… should I have it sized or stop wearing it… this will be a big decision…

really wanted to get a pretzel while I was in the mall, but I kept walking… was hard though…

as I left I realized that I had enjoyed my shopping time… all on my own…

those big girl pants fit better more and more often…

  

renew…

40 pounds, between, big girl pants, clothes, diabetes, jacket, jeans, renew, size, wardrobe, weight loss

since November of 2014, and my diabetes diagnosis, I have lost forty pounds…

I’ve had to renew my wardrobe a few times during the process…

this morning I was shopping, looking for new pants, including jeans, and a few tops… 

apparently I am between sizes again… makes it so much harder to find things that fit, sigh… will have to look in another couple of stores… 

my daughters were both surprised about the jeans as I never wore them until three or four years ago… I only have one pair and they are getting too big to wear…

  
really happy that this jacket we picked up yesterday fit nicely…

been hard to let some pieces go but it is also getting clear that many items are way too big… continue with a box in the dining room which collects all the things that no longer make the cut…
