yesterday morning the furnace people arrived around 8 am, just when they said they would… the temp had made it up to 18°C…

people came and went, bits and pieces were removed and then the new high efficiency furnace made it into the basement after tarps were laid down to protect the stairs… Harry worked all day, with helpers coming and going as needed…

it took two of them to get the heavy oldie out of the house…

I was out for the afternoon and when I arrived home the temperature was at a toasty 20°C…

the basement was perfectly clean, all of the bits and pieces which had gone into the backyard were gone and the vents had been raised so the snow shouldn’t be a problem in the future…

and this pretty thing was snuggled into the space… reminds me a bit of Barbie, the barbecue;-)…

I am very pleased with the whole process and would happily recommend M1 Mechanical for furnace replacement or repair…

the bathtub has been draining very slowly for a while now…

a suggestion had been to use Drano in it…

I finally climbed right in, and realized the stopper would unscrew…

then I discovered that the rubber washer had broken in two and was clearly the culprit…

it drained perfectly once removed…

now to get out and find a replacement for the washer…

recently had a phone call with a friend… she was stressing about getting gifts for Christmas… I suggested she do a bit of online shopping although she hasn’t done much of that…

made me think about all the items I have purchased online over the last month in preparation for the big day…

and how I learned from someone else that I could order from IKEA and have items delivered directly to my house…

very happy to replace my broken measuring cup and think this steamer will work well in my Instant Pot…

I have ordered from many places I didn’t even know existed… and have also been able to get some local items delivered across the country…

there has been lots of learning in 2020…

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…

I am really missing my camera… on the first day of our camping trip it died…

the zoom opened, but then would not close… I tried all the possibilities – turned it off, turned it back on, took out the battery… sadly, nothing worked…

this is how it still looks, sigh…

at this point I don’t think it is worth repairing… I’ve had it for at least ten years and it has been repaired two or three times… don’t think it is worth the money… current technology is so advanced that now is the time to look into a new model…

I’ve been looking into replacing it and had hoped it would last until Christmas, but no such luck… it feels like an old friend so it is sad to see it go… will have to save up for a while to get a replacement…

it is quite amazing how much you can miss something or someone….

a while ago I noticed that my Fitbit Flex band was breaking…

after I bought the Fitbit I ordered a purple band… I know, you are shocked… about a year later it ripped, so I ordered a set with 3 in it… a purple, pink, and turquoise one… of course I’ve only worn the purple one, but I was able to give the turquoise one to a friend… still need to find someone who could use the pink…

it’s been about another year when I noticed this break…

instead of just buying a new one, I emailed them, thanks to a suggestion from my daughter… they responded very quickly and said they would send a replacement… at no charge…

when I arrived home today there was a parcel on the step…

  

yay… and here is the new one on my wrist…

 

Fitbit Flex band

 

another exciting piece is that now it only has two open spots where it fastens… in the last year or so it has moved at least five spaces… I was actually wearing the small size while I was waiting for the replacement to arrive…

  
another visible example of how much weight I have lost… way to go me…

life is good…
