Those outdoor spas: At the spa

 

I am not sure if anything can be done about this but after having visited spas in Ontario and Quebec I can only say this.

I love them and enjoy them. Staff are super helpful, welcoming, and friendly.
However, I just am so very intimidated by those stairs.

Will I continue to visit spas? Most definitely.

Welcoming a new gadget: My new razor

 

Thanks to Stephie I now have a new gadget in my personal arsenal.
Yes, it is the new personal razor that enables and allows me to deal with my personal needs. It is very easy to use.

It fits nicely into my hand, and yes! Most easy to charge and maintain.

It is always a relief and a pleasure whenever I am able to get this all balanced and squared away.

No sighted assistance needed. No having to ask if my razor is fully charged. I can now do it all on my own.

A new one for me! Dealing with new surroundings

 

I think that I have most of this down to a routine. Whenever I travel, I start by familiarizing myself with the room.

Next comes the bathroom, in great detail. I need to know where everything is, from wash basin to shower.

In the room, I look for the outlets to plug in my devices. Then I look for the clothes closet and the desk.

Familiarizing myself with the buffet, the restaurant, and other facilities is not as important if I am traveling with a sighted friend or family member. Nevertheless, I still like to be a bit familiar with my surroundings.

A good one! The Sun Wing experience

This was my first time flying with the Sun Wing Airline. On the whole I would say that the experience was a pleasant one. However, it is difficult to tell how accessible this airline really was because Stephie was with me.

The staff was helpful to me when it came to pre boarding. They offered some assistance during the flight. But I do not think that it would be fair of me to do a complete accessibility analysis because I had sighted assistance.

How I missed Mom! Paradise plus

 

I think that it is the only way for me to describe my trip to Saint Martin in October 2023. I was sad that Mom was not with me but Stephie and I sure enjoyed it all. The resort was very easy to navigate but Stephie was the perfect guide.

The buffet was easy to navigate and never too busy. The restaurants were easy to find and oh, yes!  The beach! Simply wonderful!

I would admit, though, that it sure helped to have sighted assistance.  I am not sure how it would have worked out if Stephie was not with me.

New friends: Welcoming the new devices

 

I can only say that welcoming the new devices has many sides to it.
First, you say goodbye to the old ones.
Next, you go out there and after saying goodbye to the old ones you purchase their replacements.
Then comes the fun time of learning how to use the new ones.
Over the past year I have had to replace some of my devices because they can no longer accommodate new updates.
Just another challenge for me and anyone else to deal with.

She was my daily companion: Saying so long to my faithful iPhone

 

Ah, yes, and just call me a sop!  That’s very okay.
My favourite iPhone stayed with me for four glorious years and it does not matter that she was not top of the line.
She served me above the call of duty.
She was easy to use and fitted neatly into my purse.

I had no difficulty learning how to use her and when it came time to part company!
It had to happen. Now she is in iPhone Heaven with my other iPhones!

I called him Old Faithful! Saying so long to my Victor Stream

 

The best way for me to describe this nifty little device is like this!
You can play music on it by using an SD card.
You can create playlists from the Internet.
You can download books from the Internet.
You can carry out searches.
You can record.

I really loved my previous Victor Stream and he served me very well.
But now it’s time to move to an updated version.

A humorous moment: When the bottle of milk went missing

 I can only explain it to myself by saying that on this day I was really tired after coming home from shopping.

I managed to pack everything away, including my large bottles of grapefruit juice, but then I noticed that my bottle of milk was missing. So, I now had to go to work to remember step by step what I had packed away and where I had put each item.

Thank goodness that my memory was functioning on this day. I quickly found the bottle of milk packed among the bottles of grapefruit juice. No different for anyone.

Surprise, surprise! When I found the packets of gravy

 

This little lesson has definitely taught me that I need to be really organized when I pack things away in my freezer. And it is no different for anyone, whether or not you are sighted or vision-impaired.

I just need to make sure that I pack my things in an orderly and organized manner. And I need to pack them in a logical way as well.

If I had done so in the first place then I would never have been surprised when I found the packets of gravy.

A new way: My new prescription pill bottles

 

Not sure if 'new prescription pill bottles' is the most accurate way to describe these. All it is for me is that the pharmacy places tags on the bottles that can be read by my “Script Talk” device.

When placed on the label, this device speaks the prescription of the bottle.  This is definitely a  new addition to my toolbox of devices and it sure helps to make things easy for me.

A heart breaker: Please don't cry, Mom!

 

Oh, how I absolutely hate to see anyone cry. But when it comes to my Miracle Mom, it is even more difficult for me to deal with!
And this is what happened when I left her in September 2023.
She sobbed and held on to me.
She begged me to come back soon and I told her that I would and soon.
Then Gayle and I were walking down the stairs and with a final wave I entered Ramlall’s car.

I knew that Mom was standing at the door watching my every move and good thing that Moya was with her. I am just so relieved that Gayle had come to stay with her for a while, too, after I left.

After searching: When the container was found

 

Whenever I go in search of anything missing, I need to call upon my memory more than anything else. That is, I need to use my memory to help me retrace my steps.

This once more was the case when I went looking for one of my containers.
I painstakingly used my memory to retrace my steps.
I examined each very carefully and presto! I found my missing container.

This strategy most definitely applies to almost everyone.
