I had an email from a co-worker today about work and then he asked if I liked my ecard for my birthday which was over a week ago. I told him I didn’t get one and actually was a little sad that work hadn’t recognized it but, I am the social committee at the moment so…
It turns out we must have a very strict firewall as once he just sent me the link I was able to open it and Ta Da it was a Star Wars hugging card that was full of lovely messages from my co-workers and I was so happy to get it. It’s funny that my response to him was ‘You must know me well enough that I would have thanked you all, so of course I didn’t get it’ but as soon as I have this thought I realize I haven’t thanked my cousin Rosie for the lovely handcrafted card I received in the mail from her, where are my manners…
Wednesdays have really changed for me as I look forward now to 11am my time when the Los Texmaniacs Lunchbox occurs. I have them playing live on my iPad as I work and today even got a shoutout! I recommend if you are on FaceBook or Youtube, check them out! I want to donate to evey musician I know and love but, well, I’d be further in debt…
I snuck out for my break today to pick up a mask that the woman I volunteer for at the Cranbrook Heritage (Train) Museum made for me. She is sweet to be doing this. The same problem happened with it as with the one my other friend made for me… I am right out of the movies:
Stuart Mackenzie : Look at the size of that boy’s heed.
Tony Giardino : Shhh!
Stuart Mackenzie : I’m not kidding, it’s like an orange on a toothpick.
Tony Giardino : Shhh, you’re going to give the boy a complex.
Stuart Mackenzie : Well, that’s a huge noggin. That’s a virtual planetoid.
Tony Giardino : Shh!
Stuart Mackenzie : Has it’s own weather system.
Tony Giardino : Sh, sh, shh.
Stuart Mackenzie : HEAD! MOVE!
I shall have to extend the elastic a bit to accommodate or I defeat the purpose with all the shoving it back behind my ears. Love that it will be that easy though and for now I also have ones that tie on with shoe lace, very clever!
I feel a bit of pressure from work to put in more overtime as they are busy with personal tax returns but the deadline has been extended due to Covid-19 and I am, aside from the Partners, the one employee who works overtime every month, not just tax time so I am working hard at setting boundaries. I do think it even more necessary now that my desk is at home. There has to be a proper break in the schedule.
Tonight, I watched Survivor, made cookies and crocheted. Nothing Granny about that…..
