It is late and I am just beginning to write because for over an hour Missy has been outside exploring and I was not sure she was coming back. She shot out the door and went on and explore. Every 15 or so minutes I would go out and call her. Once she looked at me from across the street in my park and then kept going. I put her house outside in case she needed a safety and in case I had to go to bed. Finally well into the second hour she was there walking along my fence, hopped down and came inside to lay on the kitchen floor like it was chill. I guess I will have to respect that she likes to be out in nature like her previous owner told me. At least at this time of night there were no cars.
This morning started so lovely with a CFEK breakfast together in very distanced fashion from Hot Shots. Stuffed French Toast and mimosas along side a Chai Latte. So good!! I gave everyone the treats I’d made and Cindy had given each a lovely candle for our new offices. It set the mood for a lovely and productive yet relaxed day.
I like yesterday and today’s advent items, whimsy from one and practical from the other.
So many great moments in the day with clients and board members and getting things done. I took the time to do my Christmas cards for clients and some friends and family. That always makes me happy, sending something tangible. I love getting and sending cards. I called my plumber and straight up told him I felt like he had ghosted me once I asked about a new furnace. He was honest and said he did not like what the other plumber did across the street and couldn’t find a mobile home furnace that had a rebate on it. I said I was still interested and to please quote me on a new one before this one dies. Also I still need him to come hook up my fridge and plumb for the water softener. He thought it meant going under the trailer but when I explained everything he agreed to see when he could come. I got a text in the evening that he will come at 4 tomorrow but the earliest he can pull wrenches on the furnace is mid January. I am super ok with that!
the BEST part of my day was showing up for my scheduled time with Ashlée for my section of the family photos and finding Danika and Emmy as well as Danika’s boyfriend, Malcolm. The times had gotten mixed up but it was such a treat to get to have a few pics with Emmy as well. She was super happy to get to pose with my Jack character that i brought and I can’t wait to see how they turn out. We all laughed when it was Emmy’s turn to have photos alone as she started supermodel posing immediately. Her first pose cracked us all up so when they left I had to mimic it. I figure I nailed it!!
There you go Mrs H, made you laugh instead of cry xo
I then got to have a quick masked hug from Sawyer as their family was next for photos. Ash was doing a great job cleaning between everyone. Just before I left I got a message that my previous mother in law had died. I let the kids know as she was their Ada during a time when kids bond with grandparents and she was always lovely with them, no matter our relationship. I am sorry to hear the news and am glad to know my Ex, Lee was with her at the end. RIP Pauline Beauvais
I went back to work and finished off a file I had been working on all afternoon. I have much to do and it works best for me to finish off chunks. I also can do better concentrating when there is no one there.
I didn’t get home until late and I was hungry. I put an almond crusted fish fillet in the air fryer and had it along with an Asian salad. It was so delicious and took all of 10 minutes. Meanwhile I made caramel popcorn twists. I think these may be a new addiction!
