felt like I was wearing those big girl pants all day long…

this morning I went out into the backyard and shovelled the windrow outside the gate so that I could get the garbage and recycling bins into the back lane…

it has been weeks since I’ve taken it out…

put two bags beside it… not sure if they will take those or not…

I decided on pickerel for my supper… instead of the deep fried French fries that my beloved would make, and which were amazing, I baked them in the oven… a recipe from my grandmother… fish and chips was one of the regular suppers that he would make, particularly on swimming nights… makes me think that I need to get back to aquasize…

tasty…

big girl pants, family, grandson, hot tub, icicles, shovelled, snow, widow, windrow

so happy with the shovelling done by my grandson yesterday…

he cleaned out the windrow at the end of the sidewalk which my shoveler hasn’t been able to clear… pleased as my friends have had to use the driveway rather than the sidewalk for weeks;-)… the driveway is sloped so the sidewalk is a safer walk…

he also cleaned off the back deck… there was a lot of snow on it… took ages for him to get this done…

this morning I had a lovely hot tub… it wasn’t too cold out and I enjoyed the quiet… I have been sitting at the opposite end as there are many icicles hanging from the roof and I don’t want any to fall and land on my head, lol…

excellent first day of holidays…

slept in a bit, had breakfast and watched some tv…

then I spent a lovely few hours listening to Christmas carols and wrapping presents…

the kids came over and we did a run to Costco to pick up a few final items needed for the season…

while we were gone the oldest grandson shovelled the sidewalk, driveway and backyard…

they brought over the makings for tacos for supper and we gobbled them up…

after supper a bit of work went into the fish tank and the babies were added in… we hope they make it but they’d stopped growing in the bowl…

pretty nice day…

hot tub, kids, shovelled, Subway, sushi

tonight my daughter picked me up at the office and took me to her house…

we went and picked up Subway sandwiches for the boys and sushi for the adults…

tried some soft shell crab rolls along with tempura and California rolls…

swallowed the last bite and then got driven home where we met Jeff who had shovelled the sidewalk and unhooked some slightly frozen hoses…

they had borrowed the car last weekend and were bringing it back tonight… good kids…

very happy to have the hoses removed… hopefully tomorrow I can drain the hot tub…

big girl pants, busy week, meltdown, shovelled, stressful time

been a very full week…

out for lunch and dinner Monday… dinner out Tuesday and the furniture arriving… yesterday’s celebration of George…

today started with an event early this morning… and then busyness throughout the rest of the day…

just before the end of the day I had a meltdown… completely lost it over a problem with some technology…

at first I was thinking I was just a bit tired, but when I thought about it for a while I realize that maybe it was left over from yesterday… although I got through the day and evening very well, it was difficult…

probably wasn’t the best week for me to be so busy, because I do need a good amount of quiet time…

walked from the end of the street and shovelled the sidewalk when I got to the house… think all of that helped…

didn’t nap as I was waiting for a young friend to stop by but he didn’t make it so I had my dinner and watched a bit of TV…

made myself some popcorn and got ready to watch one of my favourite shows…

going to sleep early tonight and hoping for a better day tomorrow…

plan to focus on the beautiful African violet that is blooming very happily at the office…

one step forward, one step back…
