Happy times: Turning on Mom's Christmas tree

 

This is one event that almost always bring a smile to me. Whenever Mom asks me to turn on her Christmas tree, I tell her to wait and watch as I do this.

As a vision-impaired person, I would probably never know if the lights are on when I turn the switch. Someone would need to let me know.

So, If I turn the switch and Mom tells me that there is no light, I first check to see if the tree is plugged in and then if it is I try the switch again because I may not have pressed the switch hard enough.

A bit of humour: The missing underwear

 

At the very best of times, I almost always go into a panic whenever I am missing anything while packing for a trip. This is what happened some time ago when I was packing to return home.

I could not find my precious underwear.  So, before I panicked, I decided to take a step by step approach as to where I had first put them and where they could be at this moment.

I was not sure that this approach would work, but presto! It worked but it took me a bit of time to trace my underwear’s root.

As a vision-impaired person, I truly believe that it is important to always be able to find what I am looking for.

Using a new strategy: Finding the correct light switch

 

Now I need to find a new way to find the correct light switch.  Because I can no longer see when lights are turned on or off, I have had to develop ways to know which switch is the correct one.

This comes when Mom asks me to either turn on or off a light. Through care, logic and memory, I have developed a way to do this. It takes patience and effort. It takes some thinking and some figuring out. It takes trial and error.

But, at the end of the day I think that I have mastered it.

Thank God for Moya: When the slippers disintegrated

Oh my, and what a royal catastrophe!  It could not have happened in a worse place. Oh, yes!  The supermarket and thank goodness that Moya was there to help save the day.

The poor slippers did not waste time dying on me. First, the heels went.  Next came the soles and then finally the top left the bottom.

Some folks noticed a trail of black stuff being left on the floor of the supermarket but could not quite figure what it was. I kept a somber expression while Moya tried to smile as if nothing was going on. Mom, for her part, knew it all but pretended not to look.

Finally, both sides of my slipper went altogether and I was forced to seek help. Moya fetched me a pair of rubber slippers from a nearby shelf and I spent the rest of my time simply walking gingerly along.

Exhausting times: Getting ready again

 Sometimes I feel like a bouncing ball, just bouncing along the road from one destination to the next. I am hardly finished with one trip and then it’s off to the next one.

Got to slow down but how do I do this? I enjoy traveling to some extent but I am just so very tired at times when I am required to deal with airports. From curbside to check in and then to the security checkpoint, to the boarding gate, and finally to the aircraft.

Got to slow down!

Better organisation: Making room in my freezer

 

I must say that I have definitely learned how to pack my freezer in a better way. Mom has also taught me so much when it comes to making room in my freezer.

There is no hard and fast trick to it all; just to use common sense and logic. Easier said than done?

Probably, but with a bit of practice it only gets easier.

Something new: My new fridge containers

 

Thanks to my best friend Char, I went shopping with Stephie on Amazon and using Char’s info I purchased a set of containers with basket inserts. 

They work but the smallest and second smallest best suit my fridge.  The other 2 are large and take up room. The basket inserts help to keep fruits and veggies fresh for a longer period of time.

There has been so many innovations over the years that I need to make sure that I do not go overboard when purchasing unnecessary things.
