alarm, beloved, big girl pants, blessed, change, moments, reading, relax, rest, widow

this morning I let the alarm go off and let it play the whole song as I considered that I will only need it for two more days…

I might have to get up early in the future, but not for work;-)…

usually I wake up before the alarm rings, so I don’t often have to turn it off…

two more days… hard to believe I have made it to this place… it is exciting and a bit scary…

going to start with lots of rest, relaxation, and maybe even some reading…

had a quiet day…

rested, relaxed and rejuvenated…

happy to see the first of over twenty buds open on the hibiscus… wondering if they will open one-by-one or in clusters…

another wonderful day…

grandson slept over… we made breakfast and then spent a few hours doing a cleanup in the computer room… filled bags of garbage, recycling and a few boxes of giveaways…

my grandson figured out how to get my 500 plus songs onto Google Play… it took about four hours… I am so happy to have them available…

he took out all the trash and then we ran over to Best Buy to pick up a few more plugs for my Google Home… had lunch at Freshii and then back home to connect one of the plugs…

the Himalayan Salt Lamp is now able to turn on and off by voice…

then my work computer person came over and moved computers, drives, pictures and got Outlook working for me… I am very pleased…

now to rest;-)…

amazingly productive day… out and about for groceries and items for a project… it was rainy and cold;-)…

back home I started two types of soup – chicken and vegetable, as well as zucchini basil… made rice and started red lentil curry…

my grandson arrived mid afternoon and helped with a rather long list of to do items…

he helped bring a mattress up from the basement that I am trying out as a headboard… I’ve been wanting a new headboard for ages… think it might work…

plants were brought into the house and feeders were filled… the printer is working again, a light got hooked up in the kitchen, and the living room window is clean…

he left around three hours after he arrived… I’m exhausted, lol… now for a rest before I finish the soup…

article, big girl pants, challenge, exercise, hyacinth, rest, walking, widow

been thinking recently about exercise…

today an article came up in my email about walking… was fun to take… got 10 out of 13 correct…

nearly finished our 30 day challenge at the office and I have done my exercises every day… will be taking a break when we are finished… I’ve pulled something in my right side and I think it needs a rest so it can recover… 

really looking forward to getting over to the Park and wandering through the English and Leo Mol Gardens… should be soon…

purple hyacinth blooming…


smells divine;-)…

great day with the little boys…

they arrived at 10:30 and we ran out to do some errands…

got the hot tub water tested… then we stopped at Henry’s for some help with a little issue I was having with my Nikon… apparently I had pushed a tiny button which was causing quite a big problem… I’d spent quite a while online trying to find a solution without any success… the staff person fixed it in about fifteen seconds…

on to Indigo where both boys found a book and we picked up an adult colouring book, as well as a special gift for a friend… very happy that the littlest one found a book he wanted as he tells me he doesn’t like books or reading…

went to the zoo to visit the polar bears… we saw a few, but the seals gave us a wonderful show…

six of them were swimming around…

they seem to swim mainly on the backs…

started lunch with hot chocolate and watched a few bears wander past…

stopped at the grocery store to pick up a final Advent calendar and some reindeer poop (chocolate covered raisins) and headed home…

coloured, watched tv and read a bit before they were picked up around 6:30…

now I’m resting, lol…

rest…

very happy it is Friday…

great to have a few days to rest up…

as I stepped outside this morning I took this picture of one of the steps and the snow glittering on it like diamonds…

  
maybe tomorrow I can get a better shot of the glitter…

this morning as I was getting ready for work I stepped outside and looked at this tree covered in snow…

as I looked across the street the moon was full and over the neighbour’s house… pictures on my phone didn’t turn out, sadly…

full day back at work after two weeks away… happy to get home and have a rest before supper…

ahhhhh…

was supposed to rain, so I got up early and had a peaceful hot tub to start the day…

then into the garden to read and enjoy a cup of tea…

20140621-191900-69540956.jpglately I’ve been using a travel mug so that my tea doesn’t get filled with elm seeds, lol, although I think they are just about finished raining down from the trees…

20140621-192406-69846634.jpgsome areas of the garden are stunning, while others need work…

spent a bit of time preparing five pounds of potato salad for the nine year old’s birthday party tomorrow…

20140621-193102-70262512.jpgnever did rain but a few times there was thunder and spectacular clouds…

20140621-193244-70364622.jpga good day…
