when I got home late Saturday afternoon it was to discover that the internet was down…

that means no Google or tv🤪…

luckily there are still books to read… and actual light switches to use;-)…

but, as the evening progressed, the internet had not come back on… usually it wouldn’t be such a problem, other than the fact that there was the first F1 race of the season at 11 pm…

found a Youtube channel on my phone where the drivers parade was on and then found a program that showed the race in real time but as dots on a map of the course…

certainly not the best, but at least I could hear the progress…

about halfway through the race, the internet came back on… 😃…

today, on this International Women’s Day, I’ve spent time thinking of the many women who have influenced my life…

I wrote these words in 2017:

whether they are family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, or those I’ve seen from afar… 

whether they are alive or dead…

whether they know it or not…

they have had a part in making me me…

I am blessed…

now, more than ever, in these difficult days, we need to support others as they move forward;-)…

we had a visitor that thought the melted water on top of the cold tub was a drinking fountain, lol…

my housemate went out and shooed it away…

wonder if those claws made any holes in the plastic cover🤪…

last night we celebrated my beloved who departed fourteen years ago…

as always, some days it seems like yesterday, and others so long ago…

hamburgers and floats were eaten here and via the internet…

so thankful to have family around for these celebrations;-)…

big girl pants, conversations, evaporates, fish condos, humidity, moments, nature, Tupperware, water, widow

I am always surprised as to how much water evaporates in the house on a regular basis…

Monday mornings I add about twelve litres of water to the fish condos as the water has gone down a significant amount since the previous week…

I have a Tupperware container that lives under the kitchen sink and is filled with water for the plants…

the plants get watered on Wednesdays weekly, but the tanks are topped up on Mondays…

the reason it is Monday is that my friends come every Monday afternoon and the less water in the tanks, the more noise the pumps make, and the loud noise can disrupt our conversation…

cannot interrupt important conversations, especially if one of us is on the phone…

always with me, beloved, big girl pants, blessed, family, memories, moments, passed, remembering, widow

it is the beginning of March and I realized I hadn’t remembered that this week marks 14 years since my beloved passed…

at first I felt bad because I hadn’t remembered, but then I realized how often I think of him during each and every day and no longer focus on the day he died…

March…

I was wanting some comfort food recently and couldn’t think of what I wanted…

eventually I decided on Kraft Dinner… hadn’t had any in ages, but had a box in the pantry;-)…

it was delicious and just what I needed…

funny what can provide comfort when you are craving it…
