Took a long time to get to sleep and every time I slightly woke up I remembered the intruder. I was still only a half hour late getting started on my work. It was very hard to concentrate all day though. I was grateful to have phone training with some lovely ladies who left me in a fine mood by day’s end.
I did my feed the pets routine this morning to realize my last Stick bug had died. WILSON!!!!!! Now it is down to me and George, my beta. We have a lovely relationship. He acts excited when he sees me and in reply, I feed him.
I finally watched StrongerTogether the Canadian Foodbank fundraiser and it really was great. A slice of Canadiana, even the rooms in their houses were almost kitchy. It was great. I do surveys sometimes and I had one in my email from Mark’s. I had to watch a commercial and give my comments on it. It made me cry!! It was about essential workers and one of the speakers was an Accountant working from home. He mentioned how hard it was to concentrate through all of this. It was so nice to see someone like me.
I also ticked something off my bucket list – being in a music video. A lovely duet called Big Little Lions included a clip of me listening to their new song in its video. I know Helen Austin (one half of the duo) from MusicFest and it was sweet to be allowed in it.
I really was quite triggered today. My fear kept trying to creep in to my thoughts, my neck would tighten up and I had already awoke with a tention headache. I probably ground my teeth in the night. I am not actually afraid someone will come into my home and hurt me, I just don’t like that my safety bubble was broken.
My friends in Courtenay started a private group for Fancy Friday which soon became Fabulous Friday. I managed to put on a smile, lipstick and my alpaca wrap I picked up in Peru. That was my fabulous.
Ashlée brought me a few things I needed from the store and hung out in the yard for a bit.
After work we had our strata council meeting distanced around my yard (tomorrow I will cut the grass!) and it was lovely to sit and chat with real people!
After they left I was following through on one of my tasks, calling a contractor for a quote when the birthday parade went by for the granddaughter across the street. It was quite something, vintage cars, every emergency vehicle type in town including a Mountie on a Motorcycle.
Right before the strata meeting I was happy to be able to do a curbside pickup of my new license plate for my bike which I get back from the shop tomorrow. I have decided to just have storage insurance on my car and ride my bike for the next few months at least. And I love my new plate number Zip 16 2 69 (I started on the road at 16 and hope to still be riding at 69!)
I do like my new May calendar, and it is very true!
Interesting tidbit at the end of Young Sheldon
Before settling for the night I smudged the whole house asking blessing and clearing of all bad energy. A peaceful sleep is on the way
