Sunday Post

December 2016 - Universal Studios Florida

November 2022 - Toronto ON

John woke Saturday to a stiff neck which he blamed on the dentist chair on Friday. Sunday and Monday were good, he even cleaned the grout in the small bathroom on Monday. Tuesday he was in excruciating pain which continued through the week but eased a little on Friday and then back in full force on Saturday.

All good things must come to an end - Sunday evening the temperature dropped to 0 C and we put the heat on!

And Tuesday we had our first dusting of snow.

I brought in my balcony plants, cleaned up the balcony, throwing out some plants and pots.

I'm continuing my declutter/organize/use up kick. I filled my spice jars and collected all the extra spices in one place in the pantry. kitchen drawer I emptied.

Odds and sods are getting purged as I clean out drawers. 

I forgot to mention we got rid of my old golf clubs, we gave them to a friend's grandson and he was pleased.

Our car and condo insurance is up for renewal, so I sent a request to the company that had given a presentation a few months ago to the residents of the building. I filled out their form for the condo and am waiting for a response. 

I hate when chili etc. turn your storage containers red, they never feel clean. I did some research and found that hand sanitizer got a 5/5 score, so I tried it, not bad.

We went to pick up John's new hearing aids, I shopped while he was getting them, then went for Burger Priest burgers, always good.

I spotted this unusual license plate from Yukon!!

John had an appointment to get his snow tires put on but when he got there, it was a two hour wait, so he rescheduled.

We have been "requested" to wear masks when taking our shuttle bus.

I did a Longo grocery shop as they are predicting a snowy weekend, but nothing like Buffalo, across the lake from us, is getting slammed with! They currently have three feet of snow!

I started The Therapist and am enjoying it, but Alice is just a dumb character, so annoying.
