chocolate bar wrappers, fun, her big girl pants, Instagram, Instagram Live, keep learning, laptop, live, Soma Chocolatemaker, widow

this morning I learned something new… well, a few things, lol… I wanted to watch my daughter in a Live on Instagram, and thought I would watch it on my laptop…

searched the internet and discovered I could download an app from the Microsoft Store so that I would be able to…

downloaded it, but of course there were no Lives happening in my feed and the time to watch was getting closer… by then I had both my phone and the app open, to be sure I wouldn’t miss it… just before she was to come on, someone else started a Live and I could see it on the computer screen… yay…

happily watched the presentation and then decided that I would follow the directions to make a pocket for the back of my Chocolate Notebook…

went to my chocolate bar box and looked for a wrapper to use… I don’t have many bars just now and no empty wrappers because I send them to my daughter who uses them for a number of things…

I found a Soma Twinkle Bar that I love and decided to use the back of the wrapper… it has the saying “travelling without moving” which seemed perfect, especially these days… I enjoy everything from Soma and not long ago put in an order with a friend to help with the shipping costs…

I put the washi tape into a regular scotchtape dispenser and it worked perfectly…

used mountain scape washi tape to go around the wrapper on the three sides, following the directions provided by Genevieve and then I added tape across the top, on the wrapper only, so that it looked framed!

it was fun to find a new way to see Instagram, although a bit stressful with the timing… and fun to make something…

repeat…

big girl pants, early mornings, late nights, live, Olympics, repeat, sunrise, sunset, tv, widow

lots of early mornings and late nights as I watch as much of the Olympics live as possible…

either stay awake until midnight or fall asleep during some of the sports I care less about… the tv stays on and I surface about four to watch some of the early events before work…

not much happens during our day so that is working well…

check the tv when I get home while supper is cooking, in case I missed anything… watch until I fall asleep…

and repeat;-)…

great news is I’ve been enjoying the sunrise most mornings, and tonight the sky was beautiful as the sun went down…

and the temperature had risen very nicely throughout the day…

sometimes…

beauty, big girl pants, live, love, nature, reminder, rough, sadness, sometimes, struggle, widow

been a rough few days… many reasons… waiting on test results… various changes around me… missing my beloved… mental struggles…

tonight I got a beautiful card in the mail…

great timing… needed a bit of a confidence boost…

and then I walked by the window and saw this…

there is always beauty out there… sometimes I need a brief reminder…

it is so easy to get caught in a downward spiral of sadness…
