🎌 .... " I'll be back .....

 ðŸŽŒ was the tag line from a movie not my Life

Yes. more snow and biting winds [ maybe, looks it ]

so, I re - hooked up the heating cables and disconnected the front hose. Smooth move that

on the new organization front. recall the two foot rule . The desk does feel ' more in control '. I mean that you can appreciate how much easier that it will be to plug and unplug. Then b / c the power bar has separate ' off ' /on ' LED s for each socket, if there is a problem then I'll know if the plug is in or not.

Plus the floor is clean, not wires and the power bar OR "  there are no snakes on the floor "

On a separate note. The desk that I curb shopped [euphemism for garbage re - cycle ] had scratches in the faux wood surface. I tired to recolour but its not real wood. Ended up paying Xmas decals on the blemishes

Alright. What looks worse - the scratches or the patches. As at now, I'm voting for the patches. At least the decals are colourful. And you have to know that these were put there on purpose.

🔰 for March 14

  🔰...... well. up at 2 AM
best not to fight it. go with the flow.
so, cookie and typing
' boro report. Snow during the day 03 - 13. The service came and cleared us out. The prediction was another couple of inches overnight.
as mentioned then a warm up and cool down

Last early evening [ late afternoon ] I re connected the heating cables. I drained the front water outlet [ I had connected and started the hose for cleaning stuff ] just in case 

snow didn't arrive or was it supposed to ????

bright and sunny and white. bobbing temperatures regime. cold to springtime warm and back again

BLITHERING 
or ......
anyway. coinciding thoughts. 1 ) on YouTube, a suggestion for those who see Chaos as they look around their environment at home or office. Start small, start immediate. e.g. where you work, establish a two foot perimeter. In this zone make sure THIS spot is organized for you.
Thus, at my work spot or corner desk w / laptop and TV. This AM, I took the power bar off the floor and put it on the desk itself. Yes, more items on the desk ... and big too ! But on the floor, I cannot see what is plugged in b / c , I'm assuming that in a few weeks [ please ! ] I will remove the under desk heater.
In the past, I crawl on hands and knees to get to the power bar and unplug or plug in. Besides, this power bar is a safety [ ? ] device. The outlets are covered and the cover slides as you push the plug in
BUT I always forget which way the cover slides [ alright, I'm thick ! ] The change means that I easily reach and see the plugs are in a lit outlet [ or powered outlet ].
And the instructions were clear, make it your - for you.
The obvious solution was to wall mount the power bar. However, that doesn't make the plugs easier to get to. Or slide the cover.

We shall see said the Zen Master

🪯 March 13

 ðŸª¯Does bad news come in bunches?

Accountant gave his report on our Income Taxes

The snow is wet and packing and 4 in deep at least

Cold tomorrow then a warm up

Re - jigged the raised toilet 🚽 b ) c the raised rim and original seat lever up and down. Cannot be good to have that much movement each time

Shimmed raised rim and reduced bounce and noise 

Bounce and noise ( wiggle ) are the death of plastic parts

❇ 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 seat 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.

✴ 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
