The Covid lock up the common area solution is pretty.
I went and signed papers for access to the Community Theatre’s investments, completed a Mystery Shop for Imperial at a Cardlock which was quite a different experience as I have never even used one before, picked up a bottle drying rack and cleaner at the You Brew and stopped at Canadian Tire where I picked up a tree skirt, batteries for my light up caravan and a new stick vacuum on sale. Before I got away from CT I saw one last box on a shelf and had to add to my collection.
I had a very tough night last night. For the third time in as many months I woke in the night with reflux burning my throat causing me to vomit until there was nothing left. The only way I could get back to sleep was to prop myself on my pillows and take a throat numbing lozenge. I still have a hard time understanding that my hernia is too small to do something about surgically. Dr. Dan’s office called today to set up an appointment to talk to him in December. She said they had forwarded my referral but that I should call in January to see when I might get in to the ENT… next year…. argh.
I mostly worked on volunteer things again today which I am going to have to be careful of. Need to pay the bills and keep up my commitments. The plumber called and he is having trouble finding a furnace that will work in my place. Asked if I could get a picture of my neighbour’s for an example. She worked late and I don’t want to go bother her after 11. Will try tomorrow.
Wished my American friends a Happy Thanksgiving. Got a message from a past love, a person who still holds a place in my soul. We parted because his ex was trying to make him stay single by refusing me to be around his daughters and that just couldn’t be a choice. I walked and have always cared deeply for him. It is odd timing for him to reach out with a joke video and then a voice message. It was so good to hear his voice. There was a time I was depressed and reached out and he didn’t respond in the way I hoped or needed so I decided I wouldn’t do that again. This time it seemed like he knew where my mood was and was being uplifting even though I did not reach out and have tried not to put too much on FaceBook. Maybe that is what he noticed. The absence of conversation sometimes speaks loudly.
Enough rambling, need sleep as I have much to accomplish and I believe my new countertops arrive tomorrow! I ordered a sink and tap from Wayfair on sale today. They are supposed to be here by the end of next week but after finding out from Home Depot that my doors I ordered in August won’t be here for another 3 or more weeks… well, who knows.
