big girl pants, blessed, books, cleaning, fish tanks, fixed, happy, moments, oopsie, plants, pumps, trickery, widow

had an oopsie yesterday as I was in the process of cleaning out two of the pumps…

the pothos that sits on the shelf above the tanks had gotten really full and long, so I decided to trim it, sigh…

apparently I should have measured, lol…

the reason the plant is there is to cover up the space between two of the tanks where the pump fits…

so, once the pumps were cleaned up, a little bit of trickery took place…

I found a vase and filled it with the cut off pieces of the plant trying to have as many as possible high inside the vase…

it was still obvious that there was a space, so I added three paperback books that I had already read and put the vase back….

can’t even tell now… and once all the cuttings take root, I will pot them up and add them to the indoor garden, whew;-)…

anniversary of his death, difficult last few days, enjoy what each day brings, moving forward, no comparison, oopsie, roast chicken and all the fixings, Sunday dinner

usually my kids come for dinner on Sunday… a few times when we’ve had payday Chinese dinner on a Friday they haven’t…

early Sunday morning I dug out a chicken from the freezer and peeled potatoes, assuming they were coming, but wasn’t in touch with them…

just after noon I discovered that they wouldn’t be here but I carried on with making the roasted chicken and stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy…

it was kind of lonely without them and very odd to eat this type of meal all on my own…

so, in the end we had leftover roast chicken and all the fixings for our dinner on Tuesday which worked out well as George and I both loved roast chicken…

been thinking about how hard the last few days have been, but really, they were no comparison to what we went through last year…

now that we have made it past the anniversary of George’s death, I am feeling a bit more relaxed and looking to enjoy what each day brings…

tonight I am enjoying the gift of blooms… usually this cactus only has one or two flowers…

tons of blooms in these days of moving forward...

tons of blooms in these days of moving forward…
