My machine worked last night which was a blessing. I still woke up early but made myself go back to sleep. My plan for the day was to be sure the pool was full and good and cover it, and install my clothesline pole that I had ordered through Home Depot. I bought the clothesline kit itself before I moved in around the end of August 2018!!!
As I was laying in bed checking messages, there was a knock at my door and as it was only sometime after 8 on a Sunday morning I was stunned to find a Canada Post drop off of my T-shirt order from Vancouver Island Music Fest. This came only 6 minutes after I had shared the post about the merch available…..spooky
Just as I was about to get busy outside the sky opened up. It was powerful and awesome. I ran out in the storm to be sure everything was tied down and dry in my new MusicFest Tank which made me feel all the feels.
As it was nasty out for a bit I came in and watched 13th on Netflix, holy must see!! It was so informative and powerful and the interview after with Oprah and the director just made it even better.
When the sky cleared enough I installed my new clothesline pole. It was exhausting but I got it done. I will take care of the other end and the line another day as that was enough for one day.
I decided to make a nice dinner and watch ‘When They See Us’ by the same director as 13th. So freaking powerful. I remember the event as it was on my birthday if for no other reason and am now educated to refer to them all as the Exonerated Five.
Must, must see… poor Korey. I cried and had all the ‘ want to hug everyone of them feelings’ after watching the Oprah interview after
Now I must admit that I have had a couple delightfully expensive Scotch in my Dad’s memory. He crashed his floatplane and died May 8th 2004 and I always try to have a Scotch with a good man on the important dates. I had one (maybe 2) with Sean last night but enjoyed ont (maybe 2) tonight. I love the man that he was and all that he inspired me to be in spite of the challenges that we had.
This was printed in the Gulf Islands Driftwood newspaper June 16, 2004 on my behalf.
So yeah I loved and miss my Dad, and am grateful for the Father’s in my life who love and respect their kids
