An extremely satisfying day. I Dressed for December best and spouted platitudes about “if you can’t sparkle inside, be sparkling outside”. I met with a few people in masked opposition and got things in order. It was a big payroll day and huge launches for Community Theatre. We are doing bedtime stories for kids starting tonight and announced visits virtually with Santa with donations to food bank. Pretty exciting stuff. A client whom I served at the firm dropped in to my office today with work to do completely unaware I haven’t worked there in over a month. I felt bad for him and he was sad I am not doing his books anymore. Odd they didn’t let him know but I don’t think they fully appreciated the relationships I built with their clients. There is a new section in the Co-working space I have an office in that I will be moving to. My office will be more secluded and has a window to the outside which will be nice for concentrating and growing plants! They had the post construction cleaners in today and the cleaning chemicals gave me a reaction. I am sure there will be chemicals off-gassing from the glued down carpets so I am bringing my scentsy collection to counteract. Not sure exactly when the move will be but the desks are currently being built.
After work Diane met me at Grapes and Suds Brew. It was a lot of work to load up the 93 bottles. We had fun bottling 3 batches of fruit wine: Green Apple, White Sangria, and Pomegranate Wild Berry. There was lots of laughter and chat with Bill the owner as well.
I was blessed that Sean and Diane will store for me until I get organized with the Reno and all. We enjoyed pizza and crib before I got tired of the whole long day and headed home. I arrived home and opened the parcel that arrived today. It was my new tap set that I ordered on Black Friday! I started ordering items to complete my renovations on August 16th. I am still waiting for the appliances, counter tops, sink and doors but I have the tap of my dreams. Ever since I ran a restaurant back in the early 2000s I have wanted a restaurant style tap. I finally got one and it is a beauty, matte black and stainless. It came boxed and bagged like a pair of Fluevogs which is pretty impressive. I shall pet it once in a while until I manage to get it installed.
I received my first Christmas card today as well, all the way from Bracknell UK from dear cousin Bea. She is so talented and organized, lol. I poured a sip of delicious and opened the first of both my advents. First Jack Decoration and nail polish from Rae. This is going to be a fun month!
