No pain no gain? Another Covid booster

Like every other Covid booster, this most recent one sent me reeling.

I was very unwell and in my confusion in the kitchen I inadvertently threw out some marinated chicken breasts.  Boy, was I unhappy when I realized this.

Guess I need to be more careful the next time I get one of these boosters!

New horizons: Welcome to ETSY

Finally!  I am just so excited to welcome you to my Etsy shopping website.

I started the whole process when I began with Joan Spears at her pottery studio. At first I just enjoyed creating, from bird houses to ginger bread houses and tulips.

Now, several years later and I am working with Shaun at Studio on the Hill in Toronto to create and sell many things on Etsy. I am very excited because I am using my pottery creations in so many various ways.

Not just to sell. To create, to encourage others to do the same and to think outside the box. To use sales from my pottery to support my other initiatives. Exciting times for me!

Very frustrating: Getting a new charger for my shaver

Oh, boy. I never thought that it would have been so difficult to get a new or replacement charger for my shaver.
I lost the original one when I somehow forgot it in a hotel room in Montreal.
I made several attempts to purchase a replacement, but guess what?
They are only selling the complete unit, and not the charger on its own.

I find this to be quite upsetting and disappointing. Not much that I can do, though.

A silver lining: Dealing with FEDEX

I can only say that thanks to wonderful customer service at FEDEX, I was able to satisfactorily resolve my issue.

Just to summarize:
My monthly box to Mom arrived 2 weeks late.
The box was severely damaged and thoroughly ruined.
Items were opened and some were even stolen!

There was no need for this type of handling of the box. I have been sending boxes to Mom monthly since 2020 and this was the very worst example of a company’s mishandling of my stuff and the shipper’s utter lack of pro action.

He was rude, could care less, and in the end I had to take matters into my own hands.
Thank goodness for Ethel at FEDEX’s customer service department.

Thank goodness for 2 wonderful Air Canada agents: Luggage delay

This is exactly what it was like when I returned from Montreal in May 2024!

I arrived back at Terminal 1 on an Air Canada flight and I had to wait for quite some time to get my luggage.
Thank goodness for the wonderful Air Canada agents who stood beside me and used their app to let me know that yes! My luggage had arrived but it was a matter of now finding it.

We did find it after all!

Friends for life! Meeting my earth angels

 

For this is exactly what they are! My Earth Angels!  Cathie and Chris!

It’s so funny how Cathie and I have managed to reconnect after all of these years and this is a friendship for life! Chris is such a wonderful addition to our relationship.

These two Earth Angels really get it when it comes to understanding the world of a vision-impaired person.
They ask.  They inquire.  They adapt so easily. And their 2 dogs, Sheeba and Talia, are just a happy addition to everything.

Thanks so much Cathie and Chris for having come into my life and for having afforded me such a wonderful visit!

Memories forever! An enjoyable trip

This is what it was for me in April 2024 when I traveled to Montreal to attend the Air Canada advisory group face-to-face meeting.

All went well at this meeting. I met so many new and wonderful folks.
I learned so much. I enjoyed the new engagements.
Then, the icing on the cake? When I visited Cathie and Chris in Stanstead, Quebec.
