Started the day saying goodbye to Julie. She is a good friend that I met when we were both 13 and on a Girl Guide trip to https://www.wagggs.org/es/our-world/world-centres/our-cabana/ what an experience that was! Over the years we have managed to keep a close connection even if there were long gaps in communication. She even drove up with me in the moving truck to Cranbrook in 2016. Since then she has received one cochlear implant and it has changed her life. I hope she gets the next, they are very expensive. It was fascinating to learn how it works and how she managed. She heard i was loaded with work and does bookkeeping so I asked if she wanted to drive up and stay for a few days and I’d pay her for some work. We managed to get some site seeing in and a lot of garden work as well as some of the book work. There were good laughs and cries and I tried hard not to be bossy and freaked out having someone in my home. I didn’t always succeed but that’s what makes good friends, letting things go. I was grateful to get the text that she was home safe and sound. I spent my evening running a few errands, having delicious leftovers and watching my recorded shows.
Tomorrow I get my crown , I’d best get some beauty sleep.
