spent a good portion of my day dealing with technology…
and then I arrived home to discover that the PVR isn’t working;-(…
going to leave it until the morning to sort out because not all that time was happy and I don’t want to have to struggle more today, lol…

beauty is surrounding me… blessed…
first thing in the morning the orchids and hibiscus greet me… it is exciting to see which ones are getting ready to open… wondering how many might open at once…
at the office more orchids are blooming…
more are getting buds;-)…

well, I did it…
sorted out all the information, and there was a lot of it… decided to take the step… and announced my retirement as of the end of the year…
excited and a bit scared… going to be a new path on the journey…
reminds me of all the years I was at home from the time the girls were born until they were in high school…
going to take some time recharging and spending time with family… more opportunities to smell the flowers, lol…
will have time to get caught up on the newest technology, woo hoo…
then thinking of doing some volunteer work around social media and proofreading;-)…
fun times ahead…
wrote more about retirement a few years ago…
those big girl pants, lol…

fun day with my grandsons…
met the three of them for dimsum… we haven’t been for ages so it was a great treat… felt a bit sad that their daddy was working so couldn’t come because he had mentioned it just last week, lol…
from there the youngest and I ran a few errands… we picked up fish food, birdseed and a few groceries… we also found a wreath for the front door;-)…
once we got home we put everything away and then he filled the reindeer Advent calendar with chocolate covered raisins… that was a lot of fun, and every drawer is jam packed…
we made nachos with bacon for supper and watched a few episodes of the Holiday Baking Championship…
his big brother came and picked him up and I am recovering in front of the tv;-)…

the other day I took the lid off the thermos, after the tea had steeped, to take out the tea bag…
I accidentally dropped the lid into the mug, waiting to be filled, that was beside it…
fell right into it and I wasn’t worried…
when I tried to extricate it from the mug it would not release…
I worked away at it for fifteen minutes before it finally came out…
phew…

pitch dark at 5:59 am and I am jerked awake by the sound of the phone ringing…
heart pounding I grab the receiver to hear an automated voice telling me my credit card has been used to make a purchase…
this is not the first time I’ve had this call so I know it is a scam and hang up…
takes at least fifteen minutes for my heartbeat to return to normal…
not really the way I want to start my day…

≈ Comments Off on lumps…
was in the basement doing laundry when I heard scraping sounds…
excited to discover that my shoveler was in the backyard clearing snow from the deck…
I knew he was going to come again this year, but wasn’t sure of what it would cost so checked with him while he was here…
wrote cheques for the season and chatted with him for a few moments before he left..
this year I will text him as soon as the city clears the street… and produces the pile of snow at the end of the sidewalk… they are fairly good with clearing the driveway but do not even attempt the sidewalk… if you don’t clean it up quickly it turns into blocks of ice that are very difficult to remove…
my visitors use the sidewalk, so our plan is to get ahead of the lumps of packed snow if we can;-)…
very happy that he is thinking of ways to make the shovelling easier…
