Started the day rescuing the blow up decor from the unusually heavy and wet snow. I also needed to knock it off my Maple where I could reach as two years ago a huge branch broke off from a dump of early snow. Shoveled the whole parking area as I don’t like when it freezes in tire ruts and is danger out to walk on. I learned a long time ago to stay ahead of it even with only a small amount so it always gets down to pavement for safety.
Work was very satisfying. My new timer software is working very well. It allowed me to easily jump from file to file as necessary and even take breaks without worrying I would lose time which equals money. I got a lot of big file work done. Found out my garbage man who saved me from the Lion client had another girl. Nice to see their lovely family growing. I started decorating bit by bit at the office. I don’t have lots of room so have to figure out what goes up and what doesn’t. I am working us gently into the season. I talked to Sean to see if there was an option for me to move into the new section of the building with CFEK. I then spoke to Chance about putting a pin into the idea of moving into the station until after the dust settles on his purchase of the business and until the new roof is put on the building. I think it will be too loud to work there while it is being done. I will let Valerie know and ask for us to have first option should someone else be interested as we do really like the space.
I forgot to mention that I had a talk with Lukas over scrambled eggs yesterday morning and he clarified that he could see she was trying to use makeup to hide her age. It had nothing to do with what she was wearing but more that she looked like she was trying to hide something. We had a good talk about image.
After work I picked up Rae-Anne and we had a great date night. Like, really, it may have been the most relaxed fun night out on the town in as long as I can remember. We started at Boston Pizza for a great meal and ridiculously good Peach Long Island Fishbowl. A best friend from the ‘80s in Cranbrook was there with his wife and we got into a crazy conversation about Covid. Tony is a good guy but he has always been a little bit stereotypically Cranbrook. Back in the day when I started my Mechanics Apprenticeship he commented that he was happy for me but he wouldn’t let a woman work on his car! And now I guessed correctly that he is an anti-masker. We let him talk about all the people he knows that were exposed and didn’t get it but he didn’t want to hear about the people I know personally that have it. It was very amiable though. I didn’t get close with him and wore my mask in the restaurant except when we were at our table eating.
After BP we walked across the parking lot to Shopper’s and checked out the deals.
I needed cords and multi plugs for the rest of my decorations so we headed to Home Depot before it closed. From there we had to check out Walmart and the Superstore. I picked up Corn Syrup for baking as I heard there will be a shortage.. good grief what next?
Honestly, we had so much fun and I picked up some Christmas presents for two of the boys which I paid for with PC points and 2.57! Gosh we giggled, it was just so easy. On the way home we stopped at the liquor store and bought a box of wine each and Rae got Roger a beer Advent calendar to complete our Big Box night. She gave me my advent gift calendar as well. It is going to be hard to wait!
I got home and hung my wreath on the door
I reached for a Kleenex and heard a rattle in the box. I moved the tissues into an empty box I kept that my grandson had given me last year to find an earring I had lost three years ago. I had gone to a costume fitting at the Stage Door and when I got out of my truck realized an earring was missing. I had only gotten them a few weeks before and it was a splurge at the time. I was so disappointed. I tore apart my truck and then went back to the theatre and retraced my steps but no luck. I hung the single on the flamingo light I have in my bathroom and there it stayed. Two years or so ago I traded in my truck and brought in all the stuff that was in it. I admit I haven’t gone through it all but I grabbed the box of Kleenex out of the bag a while back. Seems my seat belt probably hooked it off and it landed in the box!! I am soooooo happy to have it back. Another Box!!
All in all a very grand day full of fun boxes!!
