I’ve been listening to the smoke detector beep every few minutes to tell me it needs the batteries replaced… seems like it’s been going on for hours, lol…

I am waiting for my housemate to arrive home to change them as, not only can’t I reach it, I can’t figure out how to open it…

every time my son-in-law is here at Christmas I ask him about putting in the type of switch that they have in their bathroom…

it is a motion sensitive switch which comes on automatically when you walk into the room… it is very cool and I keep thinking how great it would be to have something like that here… he reminds me each time that the switch needs to be inside the bathroom and mine is on the wall outside…

I guess I want it enough that I conveniently forget that I can’t have it, lol…

after Christmas he installed my Nest smoke detector which was a gift from the other kids… he also put in a Nest thermostat…

I am slowly getting used to both of them…

the smoke detector has a feature where it lights up in the dark if there is any motion, so it is starting to feel like a friend when I need to get up and go downstairs in the night…

weird…

well I am safe now…

thanks to all my kids I finally have a new smoke detector upstairs…

for Christmas, the Winnipeg kids got me a Nest smoke detector…

and today, my Ottawa son-in-law installed it and connected it to an app on my phone…

it even shows me the temperature outside when I open the app… how cool is that…

think I will save up for the thermostat and maybe a few more of the detectors… checked for Boxing Day sales but there weren’t any huge discounts…

sure do have a great bunch of kids…
