Second Half of the NEW YEAR.

Good Morning All,

Well I had an interesting day yesterday to say the least.

Who would have thought that not having cable would affect your WiFi connection for work.

Well it does and it did.

So it was a long day working remotely with one of our IT staff.

Even had to take the laptop upstairs and plug it into the MODEM/Internet Connection to see if could access.

Of course, that worked (which was a good thing).

So I learned some valuable information yesterday.

TELUS Optik is Internet.

The TELUS repair person came about 12:30 which was 1/2 hour early.

Thank goodness for that.

He also found that I had a cord attached from the External Hard Drive off my Computer to the Modem that should have not been there.

So now the green light on my External Hard Drive is not flashing yellow.

Good thing.

It was after 2 p.m. when I actually was able to start work.

When I checked phone messages for work I had 32 and then received more after that.

Wouldn’t you know that I then had issues with the phone app that we are using.

So had to change password and that worked.

It was an incredibly long and frustrating day.

Of course, Alvin was needy because I was anxious.

So this will be short as I desperately need coffee and would like to start work early.

With hopes that sometime in the not too distant future I can actually get caught up or at least relatively close.

Oh what a life.

I am most grateful to our IT guy and the guy from TELUS.

They were patient and I learned so much.

Hopefully I can remember.

Alvin is whining.

I hope that this is my productive, quiet on the phones kind of Tuesday and the rest of the week.

Fingers crossed for me ….. send me some good vibes.

I will try to remain calm, cool and collected.

 

I know that good things are coming to me and to you.

I know that my life is very blessed despite the odd blip on the screen.

I am grateful.

And I can watch television once again.

 

Wishing you all a great Tuesday.

May you be surrounded by love and support.

Kindness and respect.

 

Living with kindness and respect.

I/We shall remain,

As Always, Carol & Alvin

Thought for the day …..

Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 10th day of December, 2015.

Today …. this morning is about remembering holidays past and listening to Mr. Alvin with his deep groaning.

He has his chew treat in his mouth and then just let out a deep groan …. another one.

He is okay …..

Me and My Sister
Christmas in the little house.

Charlie Brown had nothing on our tree…..

All Five of Us in the New House …

My sister in the back row …..

Christmas at my house – I love to decorate.

Gifts wrapped and other the tree – not this year…..

That is the last thing on my Christmas TO DO List.

Wrapping this weekend.

Decorating the Christmas Tree is my favourite thing to do for Christmas……

It has become an annual event for my daughter and I…. we put on a Christmas movie,

drink hot chocolate and decorate the tree.

 

Ornaments my Mom made with my daughter …. their last time together.

They are my favourite treasured Christmas ornaments….

 

Baking 2015 ….. there is something about baking at Christmas time.

I love to package up trays of treats for family and friends…..

Some have already been delivered…..

 

Me with Santa a few years ago …..

 

I hope that you have an awesome Thursday …… remembering special days.

These are just a handful of special moments in time for me.

I have so many more that would fill this screen completely.

Have a Happy Happy Day…..

Special Hello to: YOU ….. have the best day.

Always, Carol and Alvin
