Humourous but serious: When the pills got mixed up

Oh boy and what a day! You can say that I never look forward to this type of adventure as when it happens I have to backtrack, sort out my pills, and then make sure that I know which bottle of pills is for what purpose.

Thank goodness that on this occasion it was not my medication; instead it was a mix up between 2 of my vitamins. I only discovered this by pure accident and at the end of the day it was not too bad.

Both bottles were the same in height, size, and the pills in each bottle felt the same. I only realized that there was a mix up when the pills in one bottle finished before the ones in the other. Thanks to my counting I realized my error.

Thank God for Nick: When the kitchen sink misbehaved

It does not happen very often but when it does it sure sends me into a proverbial spin.

The first hint of trouble approaching is when the water starts to stop flowing down my sink and then from there things go south, as they say. At first I am able to use my plunger to drive the gathering water downwards but

within a few minutes the plunger is unable to continue on.

Here is where, with a very heavy heart, I have to make the decision to call Nick, my Super, and thank God he is always so available to come and put an end to my sink's misbehaviour. He arrives, snakes out the drain of my sink, and then all is well.

That's my day and another day in the history of my kitchen sink's misbehaviour.

The new technique: Mom's FedEx boxes

I can honestly say that there is one great thing that has come out of this horrible Covid chokehold: the sending of Mom's FedEx boxes.

Since September 2020 I have been sending monthly FedEx boxes to Mom and I am just sorry that I did not discover this wonderful initiative before then. However, nothing before its time and here we are! Just a marvelous way for Mom and me to stay connected.

Because Mom does not have FaceTime, we have had to improvise and here's how. Each month I fill her FedEx box with all kinds of goodies that she has requested plus a few surprises. Then, I top things off with an envelope filled with photos of all kinds of things ranging from me doing various activities to photos taken of various favourite objects in our condo that I know that Mom would want to see.

FaceTime sessions have been a treat for Mom, too, and we have had a few thus far thanks to my sister-in-law Gayle taking time to help out here. But those monthly FedEx boxes have really hit the mark.

Mom anxiously looks forward to her monthly FedEx box and is like a kid in a candy store when she receives her box. I readily admit that I am just as excited to fill her boxes and I truly recognize how important this monthly activity is to us both. In my opinion, there is nothing more exciting than to receive a nice big package every month.

Mom is treated to a variety of goodies and I can just picture her eagerly waiting, receiving, and  then opening her box with a large smile on her face. Then she will meticulously remove each object treasuring each as she goes, but the highlight will be her beloved magazines. Yes! Those magazines

with all kinds of entertainment stories, crossword puzzles, and more.

A very treasured pearl! My friend Pearl

My goodness! Here is a person who is, indeed, a treasured Pearl! She is always so very positive! She is filled with laughter and humor and there is never a dull moment with my friend Pearl!

I met Pearl so many years ago when she became one of my volunteer drivers. She started by driving me to medical appointments and it did not take very long for us to become such fast friends.

Pearl is so very easy going. She is always offering to help me with all kinds of things and last Christmas she baked me a load of Christmas goodies. We have dined together several times and for a time during the Covid era we continued our dining dates.

We check up on each other via phone and she has taken pictures of me during the Covid time so that I could send them to Mom to reassure her that I am doing well.

Thank you, Pearl, for having come into my life!

Go away please! Those bothersome wasps

The irritating thing about these bothersome little things is that, as a vision-impaired person, you never know when they are around until they actually sting you. However, for someone with sight, it is almost the same if a sighted person does not see them in time.

Wasps do not make any noise when they come near you. They are what I call the silent stingers and boy do they ever sting hard! Their sting can even cause one to get a slight fever.

I often wonder what is their purpose in our world, but then again!

Not a nice moment:The bathroom scare

This was the day when I slipped and fell! My bathroom mat slipped from under me and I ended up on my back in my bathtub. I landed hard on my right shoulder and hit my head on the wall.

Of course I was scared and when you fall like this it makes things even more scary. Good thing that I have a very good neighbour, Sandra, who lives just across the hall from me. And when I told her she kept checking on me for a few days afterwards.

Falling like this can be very scary at times but I have to admit that I am really fortunate to have so many good friends very close by.

A new way to stay safe: Gathering Covid supplies

This has become a task of necessity. Stephanie and I have spent a lot of time to ensure that I have all the vital Covid necessities: masks, hand sanitizers, antiseptic hand soap, and sanitizing sprays and wipes.

At first it seemed to be quite a chore but after months of constant gathering it has now become a weekly must-do task. Now I have so many of each of these items in my closet and hopefully I'll be okay for a very long time.
