Day 273. Tuesday, October 13

I had several errands in Camrose today....a trip to the lawyer and a trip to the bank to pay our year end taxes began my list.

I also returned the shoes I bought last week - after wearing them for a day and a half, the ends of my toes were aching. I surmised they were actually too short so I exchanged them for a half size larger. They did not give me an opportunity to try on the new size so I hope they will work. At any rate, I will not be wearing them outside at all until I am sure they are the right size. I was amazed that the store let me return them, actually.

As well, I was on a mission to find some photo corners - which I did not find. But I ran across a sale at the scrapbook store and took advantage of that. I also tried to buy a new blade for my cutter and then finally gave in and just bought a new cutter....one that is popular enough that I can easily find replacement blades.

Then, I returned the universal headset I had purchased a few days before for my cell phone. I guess my phone is not included in the term universal. I went to a couple places searching for a headset that will work with my phone - to no avail.

Here is a photo of the snow covered fields between my home and Camrose.....





At home, I actually used my new computer for the first time for something other than internet... I edited some photos and was excited and amazed at how much more quickly the Dell does the same tasks....my other computer gave me wait time between each click of the mouse - sometimes long enough wait time to play a whole game of solitaire. This comupter works so fast I could hardly keep up with it! NO wait time at all! I am still amazed at this.

Day 267....Thursday, Oct 7

I did some errands in town today....including another pickup at Purolator. Besides the computer, Jim bought me a sound system for the computer - and the speakers are red to match the laptop.

One of my other errands was to get myself some good walking shoes.......

I was quite cold today so I was very thankful for my nice warm house.

Day 232 - Sat. 08-22

Daniel took Katie and Sheree to West Edmonton Mall for the day.

Jim was VERY sick - since he no longer needed adrenaline to get through the day, he kind of crashed.

I went for groceries - there is a party planned for tomorrow and I am not sure how long the Aussies are staying.

Also, today, I went to start up my computer (it had come with me to MT) and was disappointed (to say the least) to find that it thinks there is no keyboard attached to it. That is....NOTHING can be done that requires the keyboard.

Luckily, I can access an onscreen keyboard that works with the mouse - even more fortunately, the mouse works and the actual computer works so I am not completely destitute. But if I want to do anything that requries typing (like these posts) I need to use Jim's computer. Very inconvenient.

Jim actually worked at trying to find a fix for my computer ALL day. He should have been sleeping or at least resting, but he tried very hard to get my keyboard back for me.

Daniel and the Aussies came home on time for supper - about the same time I got home from shopping.

After supper, Jim summoned the strength to mix and form burgers for the party tomorrow.








I baked a couple cakes while Sheree had some computer time (she had her own computer) and Daniel and Katie watched a movie.....

In spite of everyone being a little on the tired side, we still went to bed rather late.

Day 30 - Monday, Feb 2

Oops, forgot to take a photo yesterday!

Jim was home for the day (he left about 4 pm) and we tackled a problem we've had with our email.....I have recieved NO mail that he has sent me from his work computer. After about 1.5 hours with the tech at xplornet, things are finally working as they should!
