I’ve had a Fitbit for 5 years and I really like it…

in that time I’ve probably had about three versions of them…

I’ve also had a few replaced due to various problems…

last week I sent them a photo of my Fitbit screen as it had been filled with gray lines for about a week…

they responded the same day and offered up a few suggestions as to what I might try… after I tried their ideas and nothing changed, they advised that my Fitbit was still under warranty so they sent me a replacement, which arrived yesterday…

last night I set it up and it is working perfectly…

they sure provide excellent customer service…

this little flower made me think of all those I know who are hanging on by a thread for a variety of reasons… even though it has been cold and snowy it is still blooming…

I was also thinking of a friend’s comment that they couldn’t pull out the plants that were still flowering in their garden, lol…

beauty is all around us, if we just take a moment to look…

I’m not sure why but I love bendy buses…

I’ve ridden in them in Ottawa, when visiting my daughter and son-in-law… there are lots of them there…

there haven’t been many here until recently…

for whatever reason they’ve been driving down the street by our office and I got a photo the other day…

not sure why, but when I see them they make me smile…

AAA Downtown Dental Clinic, big girl pants, blessed, dentist, filling, memories, moments, walk, widow

had to go to the dentist for a couple of fillings… sad face…

I am seriously stressed by dentists, but go regularly so that I don’t have any problems… clearly had a very negative experience as a child and the fear has never left me…

I’ve been going to a specialized dental office for over twenty years and still I am nervous every time I go, lol…

the nerves at this appointment came because many years ago something happened when I was getting the freezing in my upper teeth… I mentioned it, and she changed the type of medication she used and then stood and chatted with me until it was time to start the procedure… clearly an attempt to keep me calm, lol…

got this shot as I was walking back to the office… felt much more relaxed as I passed by the Delta…

went to PTE this afternoon… the play was thought-provoking and very well done…

walked home from Portage Avenue afterwards…

so many broken branches along the way…

that snowstorm really knocked around the trees and the city will be recovering for a long time…

quiet day today…

went and got a hair cut…

topped up the hot tub, trimmed some Virginia creeper and took a few pictures in the garden of the last few blooming plants…

made an appointment for a pedicure with a friend next week and finished the turkey soup…

enjoyed it with some of Mom’s dumplings…

great day…

Saturday the sun came out for most of the afternoon… wonderful after two days of snow…

watched the hydro power wires from the lane to the house off and on all day…

early in the day I noticed that two of the cedar branches were hanging on the wire…

checked online and with family but couldn’t decide whether it was safe to go out and knock the snow off so the branches would get off the wire and there wouldn’t be any problem with the house’s power…

as the day went on the snow melted and first one, then the other lifted off the wire… made me very happy…

many cedar branches in the yard have been bent way over but it looks as if they will all recover… that is not the outcome for many, many trees in the city;-(…

the snow fell for two days… my driveway is covered and I wasn’t sure that I could get out, and then back in…

I needed groceries for Thanksgiving dinner with my grandsons on Monday so yesterday I shopped online at Save-On-Foods…

you pick your items, many from the list of previous items you’ve purchased in the store, choose a delivery time (usually the next day), pay with your credit card and you are done;-)… it costs $10 for this service…

they call you in the two-hour window when they are nearly at your house, bring in the groceries and advise if there have been any substitutions…
