4th of the month and I have three cards already. This is the month I love going to the mailbox. One from extended step-family in England, one from dear friends who live in the west Kootenay whom I met on Salt Spring Island and one from my best friend from grade 1-3. What a cool world that these connections have been found, continued or restored. I seem to be hit and miss with cards. Last year I got them out, not yet this year. I am actually hit and miss on all my connections at the moment. I don’t answer immediately when I see a text or email, it is not like me.
I am a bitch, yep, seem to be always complaining and correcting these days. I know, some people may think I have always been that way but I really do care deeply. I would do almost anything for others but on the other side of that I seem to be all about me. It is a big conflict in my head and gut right now and I find myself lashing out and apologizing when I just panic and go away. I am better to lock myself up and get things done uninterrupted right now. I have had the nickname Multipurpose Marnée but right now I have stress trying to multitask. Part of it is the amount of money I am putting out on my place and Christmas when so much hasn’t arrived yet. I was happy to call the courier today and find out my countertops were on the truck to be delivered today. She said they would call me 15 minutes out so I could meet them at my place and that it would be at the end of the day. They didn’t call….
It was -12C this morning and I am not sure it warmed up very much. My friends were frosty. At least the wind is calmed.
My advents had fun surprises today, can’t wait to get my bathroom done so I can use the bath product. Although that would involve the plumber coming through with a furnace. He has not responded in a week to my sending him the info to get one. everyone is busy and I am not more deserving but I am starting to get super deflated. I guess I need to become a squeaky wheel. If necessary I will plumb in my own water conditioner. I found out Sean has the crimping tool and cutter. I will have to contact James at Culligan and make sure the size and play they will need. I have hope they will deliver my tops tomorrow so I can install them and do the backsplash. Then I can trim out the window and be ready for the sink to arrive.
I was happy they adopted my idea of Festive Friday at work. It was cute to see so many dressed for the season. Any bit of cheer is a bonus in these busy complicated times.
Watched Good Luck Chuck with Sean and Diane tonight and do not remember it being so terribly inappropriate but one can’t help but laugh.
