I spent the entire day working on a closet that I’ve been ignoring for years…

packed up a number of things; some games and toys going to someone I know who has people in mind; a picture for my grandson, and items to be given away…

I’ve also found a few things which I am going to put online… one is the massage table we covered with glass… I don’t need it and it is silly to keep it underneath a counter, lol…

I’ve done laundry, moved items to different areas, reorganized clothes and thrown items into the garbage… and found a few items that have been lost;-)…

I ordered sushi from one of my favourite places – Tokyo Sushi – which I didn’t know was available through SkipTheDishes… got enough for lunch and supper… it was the only break I took all day… I ordered the sushi pizza which is delicious… haven’t found any place else that makes it this good…

tomorrow I will finish… the closet and the sushi;-)…

so happy to discover my necklace last night…

it is the first of only one hundred pieces which my daughter made recently…

I took it to Maui and when we moved from our first hotel to the Airbnb I thought I put it away, but couldn’t find it… even called the hotel in case it had been turned in to Lost and Found… sadly it had not…

when I got home I searched every nook and cranny during the unpacking… nothing…

felt bad because I was so sure I had packed it, but it just wasn’t there, sigh…

recently mentioned to my daughter that I would need to order another necklace to replace the lost one…

and then… last night I was charging my camera and slid my finger into the little pocket of the Coach bag that holds the charger…

and found it;-)…

hospitals…

was recently at a hospital and noticed these signs…

was thinking back to the various hospitals I’ve been at over the years… 

when George was in St. Boniface Hospital for his heart surgery we were able to use our cell phones in his room but not in the halls of that ward as the phones might affect pacemakers… 

a few years later, when I was there, I could have my phone in the room without a problem… was able to use my phone at HSC a few years back as well…

now there isn’t anything saying you can’t use your phone but they don’t want you to take pictures of others… what are people doing that the hospitals need to have these signs all over… yikes…

today people use their phones to keep family and friends informed about how the patient is doing, without having to leave them to find a spot inside or outside of the hospital where they are allowed to use their phones…

while I was there I found my way to a bathroom, made it outside, and back to the room without getting lost… I am notorious for not being able to find my way around in unfamiliar places, lol…

those big girl pants…

foggy morning… we had breakfast and then went in search of tequila, cigars and chocolate…

walked up the street and found a tequila shop which specializes in mango tequila… also had a few other types… found cigars in a little store close by and then took a Pulmonia downtown… apparently we could all ft in one because the two younger boys could sit on our laps…

checked out the large market and then went in search of chocolate… found some a few blocks away from the market in a department store, lol…

then we went in search of the cliff divers… took a few wrong turns and walked a bit further than needed but eventually we found the spot…

seems like a dangerous pastime but one of the divers told me being injured is part of the job… yikes…

back to the hotel for a nap and some pool time…

this is the hallway outside our room… you can see a busy part of the city through the open portion of the windows…

here’s our chocolate haul… hope it is tasty;-)…

missed the sun setting by a few minutes tonight but it was still a lovely sky…

one last day tomorrow;-)…

this has been a hugely busy and all-consuming week, ending in a excellent event today…

the day went beautifully and it was a great example of a well-oiled team…

finished with getting lost and having my colleagues find me and get me home…

this rose, from one of the centrepieces, is a wonderful reminder of such amazing women with whom I spend my days…

last night this box of empty Advent boxes left the house to be filled…

my daughter finds things throughout the year and then arranges for the items to get here… this year her good friend was there last week and when she came home she brought all the stuff to fill the boxes…  they were in her suitcase, which was lost for two days… thankfully it arrived in town night before last;-)…

tonight the Advent Elf came by with a box of filled boxes…

they look wonderful… it is always such fun to open one each morning…

but box number one is missing;-(… too funny considering the suitcase had been lost too…

the Elf came back and now all of the boxes are here and I have one to open tomorrow morning…

so exciting…
