I have such a work load that I am waking up at 5 thinking about client’s books which then leads me to get up and get to the office before 7. May as well be getting it done rather than laying around stewing about it . I did over a 10 hour day when all was said and done which was less than the last two days!
Yesterday was the anniversary of my Grandad Ernie Bellavance’s birth in 1905 or Ought 5 as he would tell me. I loved him deeply and had a hard time transitioning him. He was so incredibly dedicated to his family. If he loved you you could do no wrong. I glance around my home and see several tables/stools that he made. Woodworking was his specialty.
Today is the second anniversary of my daughter Ashlée and her husband Ken. In honour I wore the sparkly earrings I wore to their wedding. That was such a beautiful and fun day!
My day was so satisfying. I have nearly all the contracts signed and files moved from clients that are choosing to stay with me. I am working hard to leave all files in a way that people will be happy to take them over. When I started at the Firm nearly 3 years ago there was much to fix and catch up on. I don’t want the next person to have that stress level. The people surrounding me now are so supportive and kind. I am not used to that and am still regularly caught off guard. I hope that soon I will not wonder what they want when they are nice. It is a real blessing to have different people offer to drive me around, make sure I am eating and bring me a coffee or a donut! I opened a clients file to find a crayon. I sent him the pic and he said that seemed right and she’d probably blame him when she couldn’t find it, lol
Jake had warned me when he was here not to try the McGriddle. Sean went and got us brunch and I got the bacon one…. OMG so may points but soooo worth it. Jake was right though, I have to avoid McDs now. Later, Cindy brought me a Timmie’s Honey Crueller, my only favourite from there. And then for dinner Diane outdid herself with Southern Fried chicken burgers from scratch. I believe I have used up the Weight Watcher Points for the whole week but so worth it!!
Dr Dan’s office called today to set up the appointment for next Friday! I hesitated and when she asked why I explained the Firm was having a lunch for me that day so she booked me the following Friday! How cool is that, I am truly grateful.
I was in the middle of a crazy reconciliation when Diane FaceTimed to see where I was. I shut it down and headed to my place to meet Sean as he had offered to come help put my bike away before the second round of forecast snow. It was honestly funny to see him realize how heavy my bike is and it was challenging for me to accept the help and remain calm while someone else handled my ride, even if it was just pushing it.
While we were moving the bike we came to notice my yard has turned into a feces museum. I do not have yard pooping pets yet we saw at least 4 significantly different size and styles. For sure deer and small dog but a couple seemed almost bearlike… which is human like…
Dinner and games of crib and Patchwork followed. It was lovely and a nice break for my screen weary brain. I do believe I will sleep well tonight.
