9 months have gone by since we became fully aware of Covid-19 and isolations and shutdowns began. 9 months, enough time to grow a human. That really puts things in perspective. I had a lot of time to think about things today. And nothing made me sad. That is a great thing.
I woke to my alarm out of a dead sleep, 9.5 hours after hitting the pillow. I guess I needed that! Missy was suspiciously quiet and when I went to the kitchen I found she may have been planning to kill me. I am grateful she didn’t get hurt.
The first part of my day was spent being Santa’s helper again. I sent links to friends as we had space and was wonderfully happy that Cole and Quinn from Bella Bella, and Trinity from Whitehorse were able to have turns zooming with Santa. I knew them before they were born and it was tears upon seeing them again. Quinn now thinks I work with Santa, lol. I love the Santa in my Neighbourhood.
More fun things in my advents and a cool gift from Danika
In the afternoon I headed to Fernie for a Mystery Shopper gig. It was a beautiful drive and the roads were bone dry. The snow on the mountains and the clouds hanging like crowns on them made for an incredible experience. Once I got there I did the tobacco assessment and the young man at the counter passed with flying colours. I had to stop and take a photo.
I decided to go completely outside my comfort zone and text my client who feels like a friend that lives somewhere between Fernie and Cranbrook. She gave me her address and 20 minutes off the highway in gorgeous Koocanusa I arrived to have tea and a great visit. Stacey is a lovely human who does not bond often with any living thing and yet she has become my friend. I am honoured and grateful for that.
She had this crazy plant that is an emerald palm or some such.
On the way home I pulled over and started the live stream of the CP Holiday Train on my phone so I could listen to the music on the way. As I was listening I passed through Jaffray which is one of the stops we usually go to to see the train come through and then race back to Cranbrook to see it there as well. There was a beautifully festive house I just had to take a picture of, right across from where it usually stops.
The snow was softly floating down and good music was playing. I arrived back in Cranbrook, let everyone know I was back safe, fed Missy and headed over to Sean and Diane’s for a movie. I know I broke the rules stopping to see Stacey but I was careful and as a client she comes to my office so I couldn’t really see the difference. I did sanitize and kept relative distance. We watched ‘Blue Iguana’ and I liked it, although it is hard to watch a movie when we stop for one reason or another every 15 minutes! Sam Rockwell made up for that though! I enjoyed hanging with my Framily.
And then I got home and stepped in a pile of… I’m not sure what end it came out of from the cat. Seriously, she had to have been uncomfortable. Maybe stress clogged up. I hope so, because if something is really wrong with her.. The good thing is she did it on the door mat and I was able to clean it up and throw it in the wash. Then I sat and let her come to me so she would know I was ok with her.
Watched a few more episodes of ‘A Million Little Things’ I am beginning to get attached to the characters.
