For December I am going to post a photo a day as a little mini photo challenge. I’ll post them to Instagram using the hashtag #decphotos2019 and have them cross post here. I’ll also not provide any commentary, description, or explanation to the photos.

Sigh. Getting out the Christmas decorations and we find a mouse got into one of the bins. What a mess. Shredded newspaper and little turds everywhere.

Last week I got a call from my cellphone provider that I almost ignored. For an unknown reason I acthually answered and the gentleman calling explained it was a customer courtesy call to take a look at my plan and see if there was a better option for me. In the back of my mind I still suspect they were just trying to get me off the plan I was grandfathered on. In any event he suggested a plan that got me to the same monthly fees, but had a lot more data, and included long distance calling within Canada. I was intrigued, so I got the names of the plans (there were different plans for the two phones on the account) and went online to investigate. A couple days later I switched over the phones to the new options, but with one small change. For Sue’s phone the suggestion included a 10GB plan. Considering that we came from 6GB for both of us and rarely went over, having 5GB on my phone and 10 on hers seemed overkill when I could save a few bucks and put both onto the 5GB plan ( we each get 5GB that we can share). In the end I am saving ~$15/month, have upped our data from 6 to 10GB and I now have Canada wide long distance. That is a huge win in my books.

The kids and I didn’t go to any particular Remembrance Day ceremony today. Instead the three of us did a moment of silence together at a roadside pullout. We talked a little about what it meant, then continued on our travels.

Saw my physio yesterday. It was a pretty intense and painful session working on my neck. Lots of massage, and lots of IMS needles. It left me feeling drained, but by the end of the day I could see some progress. Today there is a lot less pain, and more range of motion.

A pain in the neck. On Friday I developed this odd pain when I turn my head certain ways, or use certain neck muscles. It is so bad that at times it takes my breath away. I am also not sleeping properly since rolling over causes enough pain to wake me.🤞physio tomorrow can fix me

Anyone else have a Halloween hangover? I’m talking about the tiredness and sugar headaches, not anything to do with alcohol.

First world problem of the day: tonight we discovered that our PVR somehow lost all of the recording schedules. Hopefully we recreate them all, but I feel like we forgot some.

☕️ I’m having a good coffee day. Each cup I’ve made has been excellent. Getting the amounts and timing right in an AeroPress can be tricky.
