I’ve been laughing to myself off and on over the last few weeks whenever I looked at the lights in the front window…

I set up the timer twice, but of course, not correctly… I have watched it come on and go off at the oddest times… instead of going off at 11:30 pm, it might come on then… or just stay off… or just stay on… or…

so, yesterday morning, once again I reset the time and tried to get it set to the schedule where it comes on at 4 pm and goes off at 11:30 pm… this time I ignored the directions and just tried to figure it out…

so far, fingers crossed, it has come on and gone off at the correct time…

I am so proud, lol… and my son-in-law will be astonished…

today I started to make some of the needed changes around the house…

I’ve changed the schedule on my Nest thermostat so that the temperature stays the same throughout the day… previously I had it lower the temp while I was at work…

I am going to update the programming on my Google Home… used to have 2 different set ups in the morning… one provided information for a work day, and the other for “the weekend”… no more work days;-)…

my automatic timers currently turn the lights off at 8 am… going to need to change that too, lol… I cannot get those timers to cooperate no matter what I do…

today I changed from those automated timers to a TP-link smart plug… now I can tell Google when to turn them on and off…

and I finally got the tree lights to respond to commands as well…

next up I am going to check into lights for the chandelier and bathroom that will respond to verbal commands;-)…

so much to do, but lots of time…

happy that my grandson has been able to add mowing my grass on Sunday’s to his schedule… he has a busy one now that he is working a full time job, a part time job, volunteering weekly, and participating in rowing events…

as he was mowing the back I went out to take a picture and he stopped so I couldn’t get him in the shot… brat…

I did catch him a couple of minutes later, lol…

nice to have the creeping Charlie and dandelion patch trimmed back…

what a wonderful surprise…

the cleaners were supposed to be here yesterday but they took a snow day because of the weather which made perfect sense… I couldn’t get out of the driveway…

I was thinking they wouldn’t be here today although I asked if they might be able to fit me in…

it was a very long day so when I walked through the door and saw they’d been here it was such a treat…

just what I needed;-)…

big girl pants, dentist, eggs, Friday, schedule, widow, work

thank goodness it is the end of the day on Friday…

since April my work schedule has been Monday to Thursday … 

as of today, for the next while, I am back to working every weekday except the first Friday of each month…

this has been a long and busy week even though it didn’t start until Tuesday… next week is small business week so there are many activities going on throughout the province and we are involved in many of them…

early mornings and late nights and this morning I started the day with an appointment at the dentist…

rather tired and hoping that the coming weeks will be a little less hectic…

had a long chat on the phone after I got home and then decided to make soft boiled eggs for supper… it was very tasty and just the comfort food I needed…

sunset Thursday evening…
