Aschenti Cacoa, big girl pants, chocolate, hot tub, long week, temperature, weird, widow

hot tub has been doing some weird stuff… when I went out a few nights ago it was 100 degrees rather than the normal 103… made for a short hot tub, lol… 

as I got home last night it was down to 93 degrees… called the spa people, but of course they were closed… on my way out this morning I checked the temp again and it was back up to 102… 

spoke with them this morning and they don’t know what the problem was… bit worrisome, but I will keep my eye on it and if it misbehaves will have to call them to come out and have a look…

tonight it was back to 103… yay…

topped off what seemed like a very long week, although it was only four working days, with a few squares of dark chocolate from Aschenti Cocoa…

been a long week and I am very happy it is done…

after a nap I made Butter Basted Salmon with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Braised Collard Greens…

tasty… but I’ve decided collard greens aren’t my favourite, lol…

I like the fact that I have another meal prepared once I’ve cooked the dinner…

maybe lunch tomorrow…

my orchid is quite beautiful but I don’t think it is going to last like the other one did… it has already lost a few blossoms…

Friday…

big girl pants, clematis, data, Friday, long week, MTS, wifi

thank goodness it is Friday…

seems like it has been a long week…

had to rush home to be here for the MTS person who was coming between four and eight…

and of course, once home I had to stay in the house to be sure I didn’t miss them…

he arrived at quarter to seven and changed the router in the hope that it would provide a stronger wifi signal in the garden… took about forty five minutes but unfortunately it didn’t change things in the yard…

he suggested that using my data program would probably be better and faster… he also mentioned that iPhones don’t have good antennas… so, I will give MTS a call to be sure I have unlimited data and not worry about the wifi in the garden…

took a picture of the clematis which is growing fast and furiously…

thank goodness it is Friday…

seems like it’s been a very long week…
difficult times for friends, technology issues and possibly a cold coming on…

some good news… an appointment made, conversations with my girls and my grandson getting into a great program…

have enjoyed some lovely times in the hot tub as the weather has improved…

my violet is getting ready to bloom again… this is what it looked like the last time…

big girl pants, filled hot tub, long week, new car lease, proud of myself, Toyota

wow, last week seemed particularly long, and I have really been missing George…

not sure if it is all the Valentine Day stuff out there, the fact that we are coming up to the first anniversary of his death, the time of year, or what, but it has been very intense…

I did put my big girl pants on and figured out how to fill the hot tub, all by myself…  George always did this and then Jeff has done it for me, but it was really low and I didn’t think I could wait until Jeff was here again to do it…

cool snow formation on the hot tub...

cool snow formation on the hot tub…

so, I figured it out for myself…  then, of course, I couldn’t use it for a day because it takes a while to heat up again… but I must say, I was proud of myself…

on top of that, the people at Toyota are wanting to buy back the car, which means I have to think about whether it is time to turn it in and get a new lease…  this feels very much like a big girl pants type of thing, so I am going to have to think about what I want to do…  I have never chosen a car on my own…

a few days ago I was looking through pictures and found some of George examining the car when we picked it up… can’t for the life of me remember when we got this car… bet if I look in that pile on the desk I will be able to figure it out, lol…

life is very full and I continue to live in the moment… this past week or so many of those moments have been low, but I continue to feel them anyway…
