Just another day in the life

Today was freaking amazing, until it wasn’t.

The love list:

  • It snowed
  • My new stove was delivered
  • My cat comes when she is called more often
  • I managed to get the community theatre books caught up and reports filed before the board meeting tomorrow
  • I made some money
  • I sold my old stove at half price to someone I think is great because he wanted to help out a family with 5 minions whose oven hasn’t been working for months but landlord wouldn’t fix.
  • Sean took me to pick up my bypass doors for the kitchen that I have waited 4 months and 5 days for and even the manager at Home Depot cheered when she saw me.
  • I was invited for leftover roast at Campbells which was delicious
  • I brought Strawberry Rhubarb pie and it was delicious
  • We played Trivia on Wii and it was fun
  • I played tennis with Zoë on Wii and it was fun

The SHITE list:

  • Spoke with Reid, my best friend Jackie’s son. She has been in a long term care home in Vancouver since stroking out after a brain aneurysm almost two years ago. There was a Covid breakout and she has tested negative for two weeks but was confirmed positive yesterday. She has COPD and lung cancer… they are keeping and treating her at the home as they say she will not survive going to the hospital and there she is with people who know her. We cried, we had a moment. He made me promise to look after myself and I made him promise not to lose me, no matter what, to stay connected. I am angry, I raged out loud driving home, I sobbed, I yelled that it wasn’t fair, She has served people her whole damn life. I called my mommy.
