big girl pants, blessed, buddy, contacts, early, funny, late, moments, ready, Spring break, swim, swim bag, Tuesdays, widow

got up early, put in my contacts, put on my swimsuit, made sure my swim bag had everything needed in it… and headed to the pool with my buddy…

got there just in time… only to learn all classes had been cancelled this week because of spring break, lol…

this was the second time we’ve been to a Tuesday class… the first time we arrived late because we thought the start time was fifteen minutes later than it actually was… and this time the class was cancelled… I don’t think Tuesdays are our day, lol…

when I got home the good news was that I didn’t need to hang anything up to dry;-)…

too funny…

quicker…

at 5:30 Tuesday night l started to change the water in the hot tub…

a bit late to start the process, but that was how the day had gone, and it really needed to be done…

turned it off, brought up the pump, connected it to the large hose and within twenty minutes it was almost empty… it is so much quicker with the larger hose…

next I had to climb in and scoop out the last of the water and give it a good wipe down… that part always takes time, usually half an hour or so…

finally, after putting in the new filter, the water started to go in…

forty-five minutes later it was full and ready to be turned back on…

plugged back in and by Thursday morning it was ready for chemicals… it takes about five different ones, which go in one every twenty minutes or so, to get it ready for jumping in;-)…

had a nice time in the hot tub that evening, especially after all the work that had gone on over the last week…

tonight I enjoyed another visit to the tub and although it was overcast, it wasn’t raining or windy, lol… yay…

late…

had a few late Christmas gifts over the last while…

so nice when that happens and you get to enjoy new treats…

I’d been admiring the tree for quite a while, so it was wonderful to have it given to me…

the purple piece under it is one of those lovely handmade dishcloths… I find them excellent in the kitchen and this one is a great shade…

spoiled, lol…

bendy bus, big girl pants, dentist, full moon, late, moon, Ottawa, peggp, widow

last night I planned to get up around two and take some shots of the full moon for a friend who always knows when the moon is full... took this one on my phone before I headed to bed…

sadly when I woke up around one, it was too late… was overcast and stayed that way all night…

even in the morning the sky was dull and there was no moon visible…

headed out earlier than usual as I had a dentist appointment to have a filling shaved down a bit…

even though I dislike being at the dentist, I don’t like to be late… got there before they had even unlocked the door, lol… should have gone back right after I discovered the filling wasn’t quite right… would have if I’d believed how simple and pain-free the process of smoothing it off was…

on my way home tonight I saw one of the bendy busses along Portage Avenue… I love to see them because they make me smile… always driving when I see them, so never get a picture…

Winnipeg bendy bus photo from the internet…

looking forward to riding on some when I head to Ottawa next month for a short visit with my daughter…

don’t ride the bus here but it is kind of fun there with someone who knows the system…

just last week I bought my grandson one of the peggo cards which are similar to what they use in Ottawa so people don’t need to carry bus tickets or cash…

photo by the proud recipient of the peggo card…


they’re kind of cute too…

signs…

big girl pants, grayness, happy, late, orchids, signs, snow, Spring, sunlight, sunshine, widow

no time to walk on the treadmill this morning but I did get a nice picture of the Japanese Maple… the leaves are coming out in full force…

  
this is a real sign of spring…

the snow that keeps coming down isn’t the most difficult thing we’ve had to deal with lately… it is the grayness… the sun hasn’t been out very much over the last few weeks and that affects many of us…

have noticed that it occasionally comes out late in the afternoon… 

and so it did today… got this lovely shot of the orchids in the sunshine…

  
and this one…

  
just amazes me how happy a few minutes of sunlight can make me…
