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.

No getting around this! Travel computer headaches

I must say that my travel computer has really been a gem when it comes to behaving, and what do I mean by this? Well, it all has to do with her not causing too many headaches for me.

But when she decides to cause a headache?  It means that I need to be patient, stick with solving the problem, and to not give up too quickly.

The most recent headache was when I visited Mom in late 2025 and for some reason my Dropbox folders kept being updated on my hard drive. Enter Tevin the super technician and after a bit of a challenge, Tevin had it all fixed for me.

The travel computer resumed purring like a kitten.

Patience, patience! Finding the missing mesh bag

These precious mesh bags sure help me when I travel. I use them to help me organize my clothes and I must say that they sure work.

I am always so very careful when I bring them out to pack my clothes. I make sure that I have them all laid out on my bed and I count to make sure that they are all there.

So, the other day when I found that I was missing one, I had to stop and retrace my steps. I find that this is the best way for me to find anything when I misplace something and sure enough and one more time it worked.

My missing mesh bag was lying on my sofa in my room.

A funny moment: The wrong dinner dish

 

Sometimes I find myself experiencing a bit of a different episode but I guess that, as they say, this is what makes life interesting and keeps me on my toes. Ordering the wrong dinner dish rarely happens in my case but this time it sure did.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed my wrong dinner dish. I guess that I was just too tired to really pay attention. Some folks may have sent it back but I decided to keep it and enjoy it.

I never told anyone, and why? Because I guess that it was not important enough for me.

A very different experienc: Dancing with the shower heads

 

This is exactly what took place when I stayed at a hotel in Montreal in late 2025. Yes, everything else in the hotel room was fine, but when it came to adjusting the shower heads? For me, and with very little sight to guide me, it turned into a sort of dance show.

I must have spent about 10 minutes trying to find the correct adjustment, but patience prevailed. I ended up splashing water all over my hair.

I found it a challenge to adjust the height and to obtain the most suitable level of hot water. It was difficult to control the water from the overhead shower head. But at the end of it all, it all worked out.

My best friends forever: Seeing Char and others again

 I am always so filled with joy, gladness, and lots of love each time I visit with my best friend Char along with Chris and Dar. We go back such a very long way to when I first met them when I moved to Montreal.

Over the years, we have all managed to keep in touch. Char is simply the best.  She is what a best friend represents. Chris and Dar are so close to me and all three are never out of my mind. I thank God for them.

Earth angels forever! Visit with Cathie and Chris

 Cathie rescued me when I reached out to her for help in dealing with my stress and mental meltdown, and Chris came along.

I met Cathie so many years ago when I was hospitalized in Montreal for an accident. We had lost contact for quite some time but when I called she came with no questions asked.  She selflessly gave of her time and advice.

This was a wonderful visit. We chatted, laughed and reflected, played with the dogs, and of course! Chris was there to add spice and sparkle to my visit.

I thank these two wonderful people for being in my life.

Becoming more routine: Another visit to DR. Walsh

 He is definitely one of the nicest doctors that I have ever met and engaged with. Next to Dr. Dani Manis, my family physician, Dr. Scott Walsh is right up there.

He is so very pleasant.  Kind, gentle, and engages directly with me. He always fills my visit with lots of humor!

I have been going to him now for many years for my dermatitis affliction. Things have improved so much since I first went to him. If only we could have more doctors in our medical profession like Dr. Scott Walsh!

The City that has my heart: Getting ready to travel to Montreal

 

It never fails!  Every time I have an opportunity to travel to Montreal, whether it is for business or pleasure, the excitement and expectation are always there. I simply love this city and all of my friends.

I enjoy every aspect of my trip, from the minute I start packing to when I arrive in Montreal. I so look forward to seeing everyone. To catching up, to eating and drinking Montreal’s finest, and to shopping.
Ah, yes!  Montreal forever!

What's happening? On the brink of something new

 

I can feel it in my bones!  Call it intuition or whatever you like! I just feel that I am on the brink of something new!

A new initiative or project? A new adventure? Someone new entering my life?
I am just dying to discover what this is going to be.

What a gem! My new friend Gina

 

The best way for me to describe my new friend Gina is simply this. She a sweet and gentle lady with a heart of gold.

Her husband Richard is a wonderful person and together they have become my drivers. They are always so very accommodating and so very willing to help me with everything.

It is so very special whenever Gina drives me to the Apple Store. You see!  There are still nice and wonderful persons in this world and I am very lucky!
