I spent time before work wiping down the outside of the bottles, using Goo Gone to get the rest of the label stickiness off. Got to the office around 9 and organized the to do list for the day. Immediately it was thrown off by a call from the Culligan Man. James wanted to come and test my water to help me decide what system to get for my place. They have some good offers on currently and it is time to take care of conditioning and softening the water before it damages my new appliances. My hair really needs the help as well! It took a bit to figure out where it could fit and where the lines could run. That is the main problem with a mobile home.. no access from underneath. Fortunately I know where every hiding space is and we came up with a good plan. The current date to install is Dec. 30th but possibly the 21st. I have to get Justin the plumber in before that to take care of running the lines. It was interesting to find out that there were new pump stations put in in Cranbrook. It explains why I didn’t have such a bad hard water problem at my home across town. Apparently the pump house is only a block away and that puts me at the beginning of all things; chlorine, dirt, iron, etc. I am getting all things the way I want here and I’ll continue to do so bit by bit.
My throat was sore this morning and I was reminded that on Friday night Sean choked on his martini and coughed it on me. Although I suspect my soreness is due to using the cleaning product for so long yesterday, it instills the small voice that says, what if it is Covid? You aren’t supposed to be visiting in someone else’s home, even if they are your extended family. This would be all your own fault.
Maureen came and gave me some clarity on the CCT books. I feel caught up now, just need to reconcile the GST for as far back as I can claim it. That is a big plus!
I was told the countertops were in Cranbrook and it was going to cost me extra to get them delivered and it wouldn’t be until Wednesday so I called Outlander and they said it is so busy right now that there are trucks in a holding pattern awaiting opportunity to get unloaded at the warehouse. My shipment is still in one of those trucks. The lady was very nice and said she will call and let me know as soon as I can come and get them. I can’t shoot the messenger, everything is taking FOREVER to arrive. All will be in it’s perfect time. I had to contact FedEx about a parcel held up in Calgary as well. Patience….
I rescued a couple rose plants at work. The one on the left has just come into my care. The one on the right started like that and today I noticed a wee bud in the middle!
My day ended with doing my billing for the first time to all the clients who came along with me when I left the firm. Before I had gotten home I had heard from three of them to just go pay myself from their accounts. That is a level of trust that is just … extra. I honour that. My garbage guy, Matt is coming to the rescue again. I sent him a picture of all that I ripped out of the kitchen and he said to leave it on the porch and he would take it away on Wednesday!
Ashlée came by to surprise me with my Christmas present from her and Ken. It is an incredible Pop-up Advent Calendar themed Nightmare Before Christmas. I love it. I collect Pop-up and Jack so win-win!
