fixes…

this is due in large part to my beloved… he worked for years to make our home comfortable and to put money aside for our retirement… and he never got to see that…

all that allows me to stay home and enjoy life is due to his work, and yes, his death, which has paved the way for my time sitting in the garden…

he worked hard to make it a sanctuary for us and I often think of him mowing the grass or pulling weeds… or cleaning the garage, lol…

I truly am blessed beyond measure…

yesterday morning I was out in the garden planting peas and beans…

there is something growing in one of the pots which I don’t recognize, but maybe as it grows I will get a hint…

expecting some rain so hope that will help get them started…

Thursday was a disaster technology wise…

I was wondering if the power had gone off during the night, but the dishwasher, which usually tells me with a big PF, didn’t display that…

my Nikon wouldn’t connect to my phone… no matter what I did, sigh…

my Geeni cameras, on the garage and in two rooms to look out the front and into the garden, would not work… I tried the usual unplug and replug technique, which had no effect…

my smart home plugs weren’t functioning either and none of the usual solutions worked…

someone suggested the new moon was the issue…

so I gave up on technology for the day, hoping a miracle would happen and everything would work on Friday;-)…

of course that didn’t happen… I went downstairs and unplugged the router, waited a bit and plugged it back in…

then there is the patience factor as it takes a while for all the little lights to light up and get happily blinking….

that didn’t fix everything, so I went upstairs and did the same with the second router…

and… finally everything was working… shhhh…

iris…

last year I almost missed this little iris… so I was watching for it this year…

it sits right up next to a flower pot which I hope is going to have a dahlia growing in it…although currently there is no sign of said dahlia;-(…

but the iris is beautiful…

big girl pants, blood pressure, health, moments, readings, Technology, widow

had an appointment with the doctor on Tuesday as he wasn’t thrilled with the blood pressure readings I was giving him on our last phone call…

he had suggested that I have my meter recalibrated, but when I contacted the company they advised it was so old they didn’t support it any longer…

I bought a new one and took it with me to see him…

my blood pressure was still high on my machine, but was good on the one in the office… I had to adjust where it sat on my arm and will hope I get it right going forward…

all in all, it was a good appointment and the meds don’t need to be changed…

the really good news is I only have to take it a few times a month;-)…
