I did continue working on the matches whilst I cleaned yesterday and I am into the J's (first name) which is maybe 1/3rd of the way through the matches for Chromosome 1. Many of these matches date back to the early days of collection and were not clearly separated into the grandparent because I didn't need them to phase the grandparents so it is taking a little longer checking to make sure that they are for Chromosome 1 either Rawlings or Pincombe in the very long common area for the one sibling set or Blake or Buller for the second sibling set. Since many of these were on 23 and Me that is accomplished checking the list of relatives in 23 and Me that remains accessible. 23 and Me did produce very good results for this common area as in some cases it was not tested by other companies. The changes mostly just a few and they do not affect overall any results but it is good to have them updated with this completing information.
Cleaning all accomplished including a good scrubbing of the cupboard under the sink in the bathroom. I generally do it a few times a year and this was that time. I also threw out some items as they were out-dated. So a nice empty cupboard more or less once again. My list of items that need to be repaired has grown this past couple of months and will get done over the Christmas research period likely with a few trips here and there.
Getting back into more difficult exercises once again as I took my time after the bout of flu. I was surprised to be slowed down by the flu but I am 80 so should not be. I am feeling very well once again and my COVID shot I never even noticed it actually. The switch was back to Moderna this time for a second time (two shots ago was also Moderna). But all the rest were Pfizer. I think it is good to mix them up actually from a chemical point of view. Challenging the system is what keeps it active and efficient. But that is my personal opinion others may well differ but it works for me.
I like this Prime Minister more and more; he said he would apologize if he was wrong and he does. The process he is looking for will be hard work ahead for all of us but we want to have a country that can withstand tariff and we have been tariffed a good deal when one looks at say soft wood lumber it is almost constantly under some sort of tariff. So we must build up our economy in different ways that were not followed in the past and increase the number of trade deals we have with countries around the world. We have three ocean fronts that are useable although one is restricted to warmer weather to put it mildly but still useable as lots of products are stockpiled by the buyers around the world and that can be done in the spring/summer/fall period which works very well for both of us. So "Elbows up" and into the heavy work ahead that will take us to a more diversified economy but we will still have our good relationship with our friends and neighbours in the United States (and who are also my cousins hundreds of them and thousands of them are cousins to my children). Attending Family Reunions in the United States with a number of the families that my husband was related to was a fascinating experience to be honest. They welcomed Edward as one of their own which was something he really appreciated. They loved to have their Canadians cousins come which was quite frankly very beautiful of them. On his Kipp side they were settlers who came between 1800 and the early 1830s to southwestern Ontario. There were many many Patriots who came to Ontario and other areas of the country but principally Ontario in this time frame.
My only really strong wish is to get the Trans Canada highway widened - it is so busy going on that highway where it has been widened to four lanes so one can imagine how busy it is where it is still two lanes with a passing lane every so many kilometres. This is the time to do that for sure; no more wasting money in Ontario on idle things or unnecessary things.
Time to make tea and then work on the solitaire puzzles.
