after some issues with the computer upstairs, it finally connected to the internet so I was able to work on the Mylio photo program I’d purchased a few months ago…

at last, after trying for a long time, it was able to delete duplicates pictures in my computer and laptop… I knew there were a lot and of the 192,000 images, it deleted 98,543…

it took hours, but the process has now been completed…

although, it found a whole bunch more photos… yikes…

going to need to spend some time deleting some of the multiples of various shots…

I am getting better at deleting excess shots right after I take them;-)…

I’ve been having trouble with the computer upstairs… for the last few weeks it kept advising that it wasn’t connected to the internet… tried many things, but nothing seemed to work… the wifi had been coming and going as well…

a few days ago I went to call MTS about my services and thought I should just take a quick look to be sure it was still disconnected…

and, of course, it connected right away, lol…

when I spoke with a technician, they advised they did something while we were on the call and it shouldn’t be a problem anymore…

I guess we will see;-)…

thanks to a suggestion from a friend, we picked up some porcelain filler for the stove and basement pedestal sink…

after sanding, painting, re-sanding, and drying a number of times, the stove looks great… can’t spot the fix unless you get real close and know where to look…

sadly, I forgot to get a before picture…

the sink is taking a bit more time…

but coming along nicely…

when the MTS people were here the other day, they replaced the remote for the bedroom tv…

the good news is that now I won’t need to press my finger through the remote to make some of the actions happen, lol…

at the last minute they mentioned that the new remote didn’t turn the tv on or off, or change the volume…

really 🤪…

the good news is that Google Home can turn it on and off and change the volume level…

my goodness, seemed like a very long day…

MTS came around noon and spent two hours outside (in the very cold weather)… going back and forth many times between a ladder up to wires in the back lane, through the snow, and up the side of the house… eventually, they made a connection which should double the speed of my internet….

then they spent over an hour in the house changing the router and the boxes for the TVs…

none of it seemed to go smoothly, lol…

after they left, we spent another hour updating all of the Google Home devices and we still have a few that are not cooperating…

I was checking my pink avocado plant and was reminded of when it was first planted…

since then it has grown quite a bit and is still pink, although there are little bits of green on some leaves…

not sure if it has some type of issue or not… more research might suggest it is an albino plant and that it may not live for too long…

will continue to watch and see how it does…

up early on Friday to put out the box of pass-me-along items…

had to go back upstairs and get the phone to take a few shots of the beautiful moon…

tried to use my Nikon, but the battery was dead, lol… it is now sitting on the counter getting charged… I think I’ve hit something that is keeping it on wifi all the time which is why the battery keeps dying… going to have to do a bit of research to fix that😳…

so, the moon isn’t quite as clear as I was hoping for, but it does show how beautiful the morning was;-)…

good start to the day;-)…

excited to discover the spotlight on the upper deck is working again…

it had been covered with snow for many weeks and I was thinking it wasn’t going to work in the cold…

as I was walking down the stairs on Thursday night, I looked out and saw the light….

apparently the warm and sunny weather uncovered the solar panel on the top of it, lol…

makes me happy, although the camera isn’t out there now…

not like there are fish in the pond that need to be protected, lol…

I was working away on the computer in the den, all by myself, and was startled to hear a loud bang from upstairs…

ran up, asking Google to turn on the bedroom light, and discovered that the glass shelf beside the closet had fallen to the ground… it and the weights that were sitting on it were fine😳…

put everything back and wondered if it was a reminder that I need to start using the weights, rather than just admiring their beauty, lol…

my heartbeat has returned to normal now…
