💱 in the ' boro 03-9

 💱 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

 📛 .... 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

 🆑  ... ' 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.

⚧ and the fourth of the third

⚧ the ' boro today. Cold at 27 F but what a difference in the feel.
Not bone chilling or obviously extreme

YES ! as promised - sun and melting galore

TAX
death and ..... thus we got down to it and organized and rummaged, sorted and sorted
but done
and appointment is arranged for consult
next, drop off papers for them to organize and prepare a report

so pleased that the job is in the works and prepped

as a side note. we are hoping to get away in May. to that end - well, I thought drop a few # s pre trip. so far # 182.6 has become 178.6 over a period of three weeks [ but actually a month a a touch

 We shall see said the Zen Master  

🈚 as the third month gets to its 3 rd day

 🈚 thus 26 / 03 - 03

Like a broken recording. " the thaw is on " . Today, will hover above freezing. Drop down to cold at night
But the day time temperatures are rising throughout the week.
However, flurries tonight and freezing drizzle [ night time lows ! ]

errand # 1 .... return empties to the Beer Store [ $ 5.69 ]
            #2 .... groceries at Skyland [ Asian ] Market for rice and lemon tarts but mainly the # 2 combo w / noodles, sweet and sour chicken and beef and peppers in black bean sauce . added inari sushi and chashu [ marinated pork ]

obviously dinner and snacks for a while

now awaiting a call to deal w / back taxes hoping to get a little more returned from other years
