this morning I watched a couple of bunnies on the deck looking for something to eat, so I tossed out a few carrots that I broke up for them…

I checked back a bit later and discovered one enjoying the treat…

reminded me of the bunny in the den… it is one of those Build-A-Bear animals that the boys and I had made when my beloved had his heart surgery…

the staff in the cardiology unit had recommended a pillow for him to hold against his chest when he coughed and we thought the bunny would be great… it worked well and he liked it;-)…

it wears scrubs, although a few pieces of the clothing have gone missing, lol…

it is a sweet reminder of a difficult, but special, time…

I am so happy…

over the last week more and more of my Google Home products have gone offline…

at first it was 2 tp- link plugs, then a switch, then more of the plugs and finally my Geeni cameras… made me crazy…

and then the printer stopped because it couldn’t find the wifi…

my grandson got the printer going… yay…

the suggestion was that I should delete and then add all of the products back in… I did not want to do that… my plan was to call my provider to see if there was an issue with my internet…

was waiting for another call so didn’t get around to contacting the provider…

just for fun, I went in and turned off my wifi and then turned it back on…

getting ready for bed, I went to turn one of the plugs off manually only to discover that its light was blue, not the orange that meant it wasn’t connected…

checked all the others and they were fine too…

yay 😀…

slides…

I downloaded an app the other day, rather excited as it was supposed to copy old slides into electronic versions…

I found the slides I had put aside and followed the instructions and it made six great photos…

then, it advised I needed to buy the program to be able to save the photos… very disappointing… it is frustrating when the apps aren’t clear that you need to pay a certain amount to use them… with only a few slides paying $8 a month seemed a little excessive, lol…

it was fun to see the photos, even if only for a few minutes…

I’ve been having trouble with my PVR for a few weeks…

it has been telling me that it was full and would delete things I hadn’t seen…

this has happened before and it had been difficult to get the problem sorted out so I wasn’t looking forward to calling them…

I waited until the Olympics were over because I didn’t want any problems while they were on… so that meant that every day I would have to stay up until I finished watching anything saved… made for some long nights…

I was pleasantly surprised with how well the interaction went… took about half an hour to get the process completed… the person on the phone was able to do most of the work from a distance, with me pushing a few buttons at my end…

so happy it is fixed… we will see if it does it again, lol…

webinars…

gosh, I think my head might be hurting, lol…

I spent time watching three different webinars all on the same day…

the first was a chair yoga session… planning on doing these three days a week…

then I learned some interesting things regarding my website and ways to improve it…

and finally, information on using my iPhone to take better photos…

I enjoyed it all and in the end it was a good day, although my brain may have been slightly overworked, lol…

got up at 5:30 am to watch the Olympics closing ceremony…

while I was cozied up in the bed, I could hear the furnace turn on and then off, and on and off, and on and off… I knew immediately what the issue was…

for the last three days we have been under a blizzard warning… I hadn’t thought that much snow had fallen, but I was wrong…

put on leggings, socks and my outer gear and went out the front door with a shovel and a straightened coat hanger… over the last years I have learned how to clean out the vents and be sure there is no snow inside them…

the snow was knee-deep in many places and I didn’t shovel, I just climbed through…

the vents weren’t visible except for a small hole where the exhaust vent was still blowing out air… the intake was under about eight inches of snow…

only took about ten minutes to dig them out… the snow was tossed into the middle of the driveway because there isn’t anywhere else to put it… did a quick swipe with the hanger and headed back in…
