❇ sunny but chill ....

 .... but we will take it. need a coat but no icicles from your nose drips

aging in place. busy day Wednesday .... AM and PM 
need Thurs as a slump day
Not a total waste. I installed a raised sea on my toilet. The original idea was for the upstairs toilet [ main ] to have a higher position for M .. as she was having some mobility issues.
Never, was popular. The appliance languished and was re - discovered today. 

Will it help me ? maybe

And. trotted out a Dr Ho foot pad stimulator [also languishing and re discovered ] Also was used three times 

' boro gets snow tomorrow, 5 cm give or take. plus rain - oh, yeah a great mix w / falling temperatures.
In two days, tho ' the outside will be 40 F and then 50.

㊙ rain and then rain

 OK, OK .... spring showers - got it. Now stop !
turns out that we get half a months rain in 36 h

puddle mania has arrived. forcing the worms to use popsicle sticks as rafts [ ? ]

however. ran an errand at Costco where I had a hearing acuity test. Did not pass. Yes, some impairment
yet, the audiologist stated ' I can help you but you might not notice
????? you got it. Why get a hearing aid ? I win't for now

down the line, ?????

💱 in the ' boro 03-9

 ðŸ’± dull and dreary but warmish for March 9

a full day. Drivers license and new health card on site application

a fasting blood draw [ yes can't eat til after 12 ]
and a telephone meeting for CIBC

✴ Sunnyday

 ✴   Sunny in the borough. Not as warm as yesterday but sunny so the warming trend continues. Big melt is on or on going

 today's errands means running out to Giant Tiger.
I don't know why just to spend money,  guess, traditional shopping on Sunday as well.
I got gas and made a mistake sort of but ended up paying for almost all of the purchase with air miles

📛 marcheroo seventh

 ðŸ“› .... or the ' boro is 52 Fahrenheit and dull

a slow day w / zero prospects of any excitement 

Following up. Sun broke out

the thought has come to me. how much value is there in originality
b / c adaptation in all things serves w/ greater clarity
what better proof of a concept then how multi functional the thing can be

obviously, never had an original thought, here. forced to serve .

a heightened fore runner of spring today. a reprieve from the ' bleak mid winter - in fact, all winter this year

🆑 marching into March

 ðŸ†‘  ... ' boro weatherwise is trending way warm. Dreary as all get out but above freezing.
Yes, the pavement is slick w / wet and cold overnight, slight ice in spots

In the ebb and flow, today is ebbing. Quiet and slow start to the day. On the upcoming front. I ordered new reading glasses. Unfortunately, the old standby trick of ' cheaters ' off the rack as you leave the store is losing its effectiveness. My eyes are quite divergent from the same magnification in each lens. 
I did lower the cost by using Costco [ $ 550 for M ... and 189 for me ]. Extended health will cover all but 50 dollars.
And I also booked a hearing analysis at Costco. We shall see said the Zen Master

On YouTube, a set of vids is on the topic of EveryDay Carry or EDC emergency kit. Now, the hero of all this is supposed to be an " Altoid " can. Sort of cute and compact.
The metal can idea is alright in your regular life and not so for air travel.
I'm going w / a flat plastic resealable bag.
There are hacks that are quite interesting and even useful. E.g. using straws to contain meds and even sealing a section of straw to hold antibiotic gel etc

EDC is a work in progress. I'm not convinced that a) I will use the system  b ) will remember to carry it or even find the EDC when needed

 .... ah, yes warmth comes to the ' boro. Well, what passes for warmth when the winter has seemed a vicious animal.

I took a chance and detached the roof heating cables. That's a sure no - no if you want good weather BUT ...... done

the day is a run around day. Tax accountants place then lunch.
I need to remember how important that it is to engage.
The Struggle is the Glory as I hear repeatedly.
