this morning I wasn’t feeling great… had an early morning business breakfast so was out of the house by seven…

been struggling with a runny nose for the last week but this morning I got the chills…

tried lots of tea and a warm shawl when we were back in the office… nothing seemed to work, so I headed home at noon…

really appreciated the seat warmer and actually sat in the car for a few extra minutes to savour the heat…

climbed into the hot tub for quite some time in an effort to feel warmer… the icicles were dripping it was so warm outside…

got into my jammies and went to sleep…

when I finally woke up, three and a half hours later, and looked outside, it was snowing like crazy…

  
everything is covered in snow now…

for a Friday treat, and because I’m still feeling crumby, I ordered dinner from Clay Oven…

delicious and even have a few leftovers for tomorrow…

now back to bed… goodnight…

change…

had to make two trips out to the car this morning so that I could get everything changed over and in the proper places… now the trunk has the grocery boxes and bags as well as the safety equipment, and the glove compartment contains the registration and maps, and most importantly, there is change available for grocery carts, lol…

  
Shadow looked pretty good in the parking spot at work…

tonight when I arrived home and came out of the garage I saw this…

  
the back door was open… 

the cleaners had been in the morning and likely took out garbage, but I was a bit nervous to enter… what if someone had actually broken in… yikes… 

I called the owner of the business as I went into the house and she stayed on the line while I walked through all three floors to be sure there was no one besides me there… 

luckily it was a warm day so nothing froze… basement was fairly cool, though…

had a visit with my amazing friends, and treats…

  
these are the leftovers that I am going to have to eat over the next little while… yum… only had a small handful of nuts and bolts and stopped at two shortbread cookies…

got a lovely picture of snowflakes on my way up the stairs…

  

delightful…

except for a few chores, I have spent the entire day in the garden…

  
moved from chair to chair and from sunny to shady areas and back…

watched the critters…

  
besides this one, which practically joined me in my chair, there were red squirrels, bluejays, chickadees, sparrows, butterflies, dragonflies, bumblebees, with some wasps and mosquitoes….

the morning glories were glorious… always seems to me that they are lit from within…

  
for a good part of the day I had yoga pants and a sweater on… usually I sit in the shade but was forced to move into the sunlight to warm up a few times…

  
when I wasn’t watching the wildlife around me, I was reading, napping, or eating… not too many steps in today, but I have plans to spend some time on the treadmill once I go in…

made a lovely salad for lunch with leftovers from last night’s supper…

  
turned out delicious…

  
after realizing last night that there is less light each day I decided to enjoy every moment of it today…

and it has been quite delightful…

sleepover…

got up early and had a hot tub… then we went to the “A” for breakfast… after that we headed downtown to the Jets Gear store where we spent over an hour choosing just the right pieces for Cyndi and Ron… they are attending a Jets/Senators game once they get home and were wanting just the right outfits, lol…

next to SuperValu for a few groceries and gift certificates… apparently Sobeys are few and far between in Ottawa…

home for a rest and then the kids arrived for their sleepover… we had a supper of various leftovers from the last few days and they all went out bowling and to Sugar Mountain while I watched some TV…

cheers with apple cider...

when they got home they made a little nest in the basement, watched a movie and ate popcorn and then had a hot tub…

hot tub fun in the snow...

now they are cuddled up in front of the TV getting ready for a few hours (hopefully) of sleep…

spent quite a few hours over the weekend watching figure skating…

brought to mind my dear friend and former neighbour Ellen… for many years we would call one another to be sure the other knew that there was some skating event taking place on tv… often if George or her husband answered they would try not to pass on the message as neither of them wanted to watch…

got to be quite the game… just recently I heard that her husband died as well… feels like an era is over…

yesterday I stopped and purchased a new battery charger for my camera because mine had vanished… today I went to pick up the phone in the kitchen and what do I spot, but the charger… can’t believe I have been walking past it as I searched all through the house for it… maybe George moved it, lol…

spent some time working on a little project and had a lovely visit with a friend…

had hoped the kids might rake up the leaves while they were here today, but they weren’t able to make it over so I had a roast dinner on my own… but I do have some leftovers for the week…
