I’ve been laughing since Wednesday, when my wonderful cleaning crew came and cleaned the house…

I was in the bathroom after they left and realized that they had tossed the box I had been using for my reusable tissues… it was empty because all of the tissues were in the midst of being laundered…

I checked in the recycling bin, but they must have tossed it into the garbage bag and I wasn’t digging through that…

after thinking about it for a while, I opened the end of the actual Kleenex box that was there for anyone else who comes over and popped them into it…

think it should work fine and I will be careful not to let it sit on the shelf empty, lol…

trifecta…

been laughing all evening…

in October I upgraded my Costco membership thinking it would result in a bit of a refund…

recently I’ve talked with many people asking about their Costco refunds and been rather ticked that I didn’t get one… each person advised they had received a cheque in the mail…

today I finally got around to calling to see what was going on… they were obviously busy because I was on hold for quite some time…

eventually, I spoke with a lovely woman… she advised that the cheque was on the second page of my renewal letter… which came weeks ago… and which I opened but didn’t look at the second page, lol…

she was very kind and we laughed together over the whole thing… what a sweet woman… not a single person mentioned it came with the renewal letter…

I’ve also been waiting for an invoice from my amazing tax preparer but hadn’t seen one…

this afternoon my refund cheque arrived which reminded me to call to find out how much I owed them, but they were closed… then I searched through my email to see if I could find anything and came across an email with the invoice in it… it came minutes after the original one with my results… too funny…

and then, for the trifecta, I tried to open my new online app and deposit the cheque into my account, using my phone… I used an old password and eventually was blocked from the site… called the bank and I have to wait until tomorrow for it to reset… then I can try again, as I now remember the correct password, lol…

was recently talking with friends about cleaning windows… at the time we were looking out the dirty ones in my living room…

in our house George was the one who cared about the windows being clean…

my friends felt that their husbands seem more interested in clean windows as well…

we kind of laughed because we all like clean windows, we are just less likely to do the cleaning, lol…

as I arrived at the office this morning I noticed the window cleaners setting up across the street…

too funny…

had to skip walking on the treadmill this morning so I could water the plants in the garden…

it has been amazingly hot over the last few days… I don’t like to water in the evening, so was happy to take the time early to get the job done…

the morning glories are exploding everywhere… the ones that are trying to come up through the table make me laugh…

for years we have had Virginia creeper growing along the north side of the garage and it never had berries… it has grown over the pergola into the south side and since that has happened it started to produce the berries…

this morning I got a few nice shots of some of them…

too bad we can’t eat them, lol…

recently heard a report on the radio about synchronization of the street lights in the city…

this was one of George’s pet peeves and he often commented on how the lights were out of kilter…

  
the commentators talked about the fact that our lights have never been synchronized…. apparently they will be by December, 2016… we are one of the last cities to make this happen…

made me laugh because George assumed they were on a system but just never worked right…

bet he’s chuckling over this, lol…

Eyes…

the very last picture I took of George was of his eye… he was a week post cataract surgery and I had put drops in his eye for him and took a few close ups of the eye which he could now see perfectly with… he found getting the drops very difficult and it made me laugh because I’ve been putting drops in my eyes for over a year and didn’t jump every time like he did…

tonight I am wishing he was here to look after me…  I have had an eye infection for about 10 days now and have been giving myself drops for a number of those days… today I went to the doctor again, because the infection appears to be coming back…

he is sending me to see a specialist from the hospital where George had his eye surgery…

on top of that I am struggling with a cold and feeling under the weather… if George were here, he would have brought me something warm to drink, made sure I had something to eat and tucked me in…

so, I am going to bed with a hot drink and will see the specialist in the morning… we don’t have many days before we leave for Mexico so I better start feeling well very soon…

angel tree...

angel tree…

this picture is one we took the day before George died…  we drove around the Park and neighbourhood so that I could get some pictures of the beautiful snow, and came across this tree which reminded both of us of an angel…
