Yesterday was my nine monthly visit to the Dentist and I have been experimenting with cleanings half way between but just starting with that idea. Teeth nice and clean for sure but still one small decay but my teeth are getting old. Perhaps a little disappointed in that though. I will get it repaired and keep trying to get perfect checkups (I do clean them three times a day!). But teeth cleaned again for another four and a half months and I will continue with that idea. My insurance covers cleanings every nine months so I pay for the one in between but I feel it is worth it. Plus there was discussion on my stained tooth and I may be going to a specialist that does root canals. Never had one actually but will not do that before next winter as a review at the next nine month checkup. It is gradually re-adsorbing and diminishing so time will tell on that. I virtually know nothing about teeth although could read about them on websites as pretty much everything is there!
It was basically my first time out since I got groceries. That is pretty much my only times out of the house for the most part in the winter which I actually rather like as I have all that time to work on the books.
Yesterday was also cleaning day for the basement and that was all accomplished as well. Today the larger cleaning day and soon to begin (after breakfast). Last time I did the cleaning straight through without taking any breaks - vacuuming, then dusting and then scrubbing. It took about two hours instead of four for each floor and I actually think I was less tired. Interesting really but I am used to running for thirty minutes or rowing for fifteen minutes so decided to try that out. I had thought taking the breaks might be better. Always good to test the limits.
For me this day is always a bit sad but God in His kindness reminds me that He gathers all the little ones to His bosom and so the loss of our first child on the 4th of February although still painful in remembrance at least I know the baby is safe with God. The world is such a beautiful place and we are so very lucky to have our wonderful world. Today the look outside is one of beauty with all the new soft white snow glistening in the nightlight. I will also go out and shovel out the porch and patio at some point in the day but it is wonderful to see the fresh snowfall gradually building up the depth of snow hopefully to its usual 1 or 1.5 metres standing in the backyard. Then we can be sure of sufficient moisture for the spring and into early summer.
Good news yesterday was the tariffs being put off for another month and gives us even more time to work on the border security. The Premier of Manitoba Scott Moe explained the process that was ongoing in Saskatchewan and the funding for that will be transferred to the military to increase that spending to get to 2% sooner. So all good news there. British Columbia is having good luck with diversification of trade (that was Premier David Eby telling us that which we really do need to do). Some of the other Premiers as well including Premier Doug Ford here keeping us up to date on our preparations for the tariff here in Ontario. Also the Maritime Provinces and I really must learn all of their names. The Border Czar position is going to be set up as well the Prime Minister said (Justin Trudeau).
I did put eyes on the new documents looking for the specific items I wanted to find in them and did. I will try to get to their transcription today. Yesterday did rather fly by but partly I had not slept well the night before; I hate going anywhere really and do not sleep well in anticipation I guess.
So tea is prepared and I will do my Microsoft Solitaire. It will soon be renewal time and I will have to decide on whether to do that. I purchased my first new computer in 2013 and started doing the puzzles then and have never missed up until now but that doesn't mean that I have to keep doing them. I can go back to a deck of cards. If we are going to be as successful as possible in Canadian Trade then sacrifices must be made and that would be a big one for sure
