Now that’s what I call Pulling a Trish!

by

Oh Geez! I’m such a klutz!

I just put the laptop computer down on the table in front of me and I was attempting to go to the kitchen to get a drink and take some of my medication.

I didn’t get that far!

I got my leg caught in the cord for my optical mouse! I stumbled and went flying into the lazy boy chair several feet away. Head first!

I’m so glad that Chris is in bed and didn’t see that. I’d never live it down!

I think I might be in need of high risk life insurance. I mean, I’m going to be on a boat cruise on Saturday night. A boat! With my luck I’ll fall overboard!





Storms, power outages and computers! Oh My!

It looks like we’re going to have a good storm here!

Yesterday when I got up I was surprised to find that it was already 32 Celsius outside and the humidity was making it feel like it was 40 celcius! That’s darn hot! I have a desktop weather network widget on my computer and all day it was flashing warnings that we were expecting a severe storm. That always seems to happen when it gets to be outrageously hot outside.

Well of course it never rained during the day!

Now it’s four a.m. and I can see lightening all round and I hear thunder off in the distance. So I guess we’re getting our storm. We certainly need the rain.

I hate storms though. for some reason the power goes out about half the time whenever the power goes out. I always worry about my nice TV set, it’s a Samsung DLP HDTV and I’d hate for a power surge to cause a problem. Yes we do have a power surge protector but still I worry.

You see, back when we had that big blackout in 2003 that affected something like 50 million people across Ontario and the North Eastern United States we must have had a power surge. It either happened when the power went out or when the power came back on.

All but my desktop computer were ok. You see the power surge did something to the computers power supply and the computer just wouldn’t work. We had to look up power supply repair companies. In the end we just bought a new power supply, but we did have a bit of trouble finding the right power supply for our computer. What a pain!

So you can see why I worry about whatever electrical equiptment I’m using when a storm crops up can’t you?

Trying to touch the sky

My rose, Breath of Life, is growing so well this year. It’s put out more new growth than in any of the previous years that I’ve been growing it.

This one rose appears to be stretching as far as it can to reach the sky. It must be about 7 feet tall.

Don’t you love it when the plants you grow do well? Whether it’s plants in your garden, vegetables or even house plants. When they do what they’re supposed to do it gives you a sense of accomplishment, doesn’t it?

A little TLC for our friend

by

On Monday one of our friends came over for a visit. He’d just broken up with his girlfriend and he was feeling down so we invited him over for dinner.

Poor Oliver. He’s been really stressed out lately. He works at the hospital with us and he’s been there longer than we have. Look at me, I’m already so sick that I can’t even work, and my husbands had health problems too. I think the hospital makes people sick.

In Olivers case it’s the stress. He had to take some time off due to stress, but he hopes to return next week.

I’m still not sure why he and his girlfriend broke up as he never did say. I think he was just happy to get together with some friends and spend some time talking and eating a very good meal if I do say so myself. Check out my main blog Tricia’s Musings if you want to see what we ate. The post is called – Disgusting! But it all turned out ok. Now if that title doesn’t get you to visit my other blog nothing will. LOL

Our friend was like a different person when he was ready to leave. He was kind of stressed and super alert when he arrived around four pm, but when he was leaving at midnight he was very relaxed. I really do think that his visit to our home helped him.

We drove him home since he only lives a few blocks away. Once we were there he invited us in for a drink so we went up to his apartment for a few minutes. I just love how he’s decorated his home. He has a studio RTA furniture style going on. Simple open concept design and most of his furnishings – well entertainment units etc are made of steel so it has a cool modern look. For a guy he’s got taste!

Now that I’m talking about our friend I’ve just thought that maybe we should give him a call later today and see how he’s been doing this week. He’s such a nice guy that I hate to think of him sitting around by himself feeling down in his home.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to move to a warm climate

by

Living in a cool climate I suppose it’s not all that surprising that many of my fellow Canadians tend to either winter in or retire to warm climates such as Florida. I’m not old enough to retire, but I know in the cold dark days of winter I sometimes think about how nice it would be to live in an area that doesn’t have snow and ice.

If you’re thinking about moving to Florida you might want to visit the Broward county real estate website. The site has listings for several areas of Broward county. Houses and condos are available in a variety of price ranges to suit any budget.

If I were thinking of moving to Florida I think the Broward County area might be a nice place to settle. After all, there’s plenty of great places and things to do in Broward. One could visit Greater Fort Lauderdale, the Blue Wave Beaches, Hollywood Beach, several great golf courses, Butterfly World, Thoroughbred racing at Gulfstream Park and many other lovely areas and parks to visit. It sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

Visit the Broward County Real Estate website to learn more about their offerings.
