Happy Monday, everyone! Welcome to the weekly lifestyle post called Monday Notes at My House.
Well, you can see that my neighborhood has not looked the same over the weekend and is the highlight of Monday Notes at My House.
Everything in my life right now has all come in sync as I am recovering from the first cataract surgery and happy to be relaxing at home while a winter storm blew by.
To be forced to be still and rest for awhile is not a bad thing, but I know some of you are like me and need to be forced to rest at times.
Thursday is when I go for the follow up visit on the first eye.
I am currently wearing older glasses for reading, my current ones are too strong now (Yay!).
The hardest part for me is to not rub my eyes…especially since they often itch from allergies.
The doctor’s office gave me a metal eye patch to wear at night, but it is too bothersome to sleep with it, so…
My son gave me the idea to wear oven mitts at night!! And it works! I just have to be very careful and thoughtful during the day to not reach for that eye.
Hopefully when I go to the eye doctor on Thursday, all will be well and ready for Eye #2. (YES to all who have said to use the drops!)
MONDAY NOTES AT MY HOUSE: SNOW
At the moment I am writing this on Sunday, I have beautiful instrumental music playing and the snowflakes are still falling.
Thankfully, we have experienced more snow than ice.
I find this snowfall to be so peaceful and welcomed right now. And because we do not see it often, the beauty does take my breath away.
The stillness of the city as most stay inside just adds to the peace.
It is as if we are visiting a new place and on a trip. I love when the wind whips up a pile of snow and blows it from the roof.
The squirrels seem to love it and run and chase each other across the tops of the snow as if they were young children playing chase.
But, I think my favorite scenes are the cardinals that come to our bird feeders. The bright red on the snow is stunning.
I know for many that the cardinals are signs of hope and angels present.
And I need that hope and wisdom right now because…..
MONDAY NOTES AT MY HOUSE: EVIL ARRIVES
This is my grandson out in the snow telling evil to back off Gigi.
Over the weekend, a hacker got hold of many of my accounts and email.
I am still working through the annoyances…and seeking wisdom in order to prevent future attacks.
I really enjoy being online and writing the blog…and I am not ready to throw in the towel.
But, it is tough, ladies, with all of the evil present online now.
I may have to make some major changes to what I do…and that will not be a bad thing…but it will take online wisdom, time, and some income.
I tell you all of this so you will not be surprised if things change as we near spring.
Hopefully by today, the bank and some platforms will work with me to right the wrongs done over the weekend.
Thanks for your patience as I work through all of this, and for your patience as I get through these eye surgeries.
I have been planning content and am excited for what I have in the future for you…preseverance will get me through!
MONDAY NOTES AT MY HOUSE: ESTATE SALE SHOPPING
Early last week, I arose to find this sign…IN MY YARD! It was pointed down the side street.
So, I put on my walking shoes and headed out to find the sale. Of course, this was before cataract surgery.
I came away with just a couple of little things, and then found something I had been shopping for awhile.
A Baker’s Rack to use for plants! The ones I had seen online were very expensive and I had put them in my maybe someday file.
However, it did not occur to me to thrift shop one…and there it was just waiting for me at a very good price.
This one is sturdy and will hold several plants…I cannot wait to decorate it in the spring.
I plan to be here this week with content to hopefully benefit you…if the hacking prevents that, I will put notices on Instagram and Facebook…hopefully, that will not be necessary.
Thank you for joining me today for Monday Notes at My House…I hope everyone is safe and warm…and peaceful!
Until tomorrow….
EMBRACE TODAY & KEEP SMILING!
