So many moments in this day… got up and got wrapping, my garbage man was coming and i had presents for his girls and a snowman full of snacks as well. I got them all wrapped and ready to leave on the porch for him. I also wanted to bring the Campbell’s gifts to work for Sean to take home and put under their tree. Also realized I hadn’t opened my advents for a couple days! I headed out leaving a note on the garbage to check the porch. First stop was the theatre office to leave Maureen and Malachi’s gift of homemade snacks for her to take home. figured it was also time to just give her the gift certification I had bought for us to enjoy a spa visit together. With all the Provincial Health Orders I figure she should take advantage of it rather than have it go to waste waiting to be able to do it together. It would have been nice though…
On the ways to town at my last usual left the beautiful tree on the corners had been broken by the weight of it all. On my way home tonight the entire tree had been cut down and taken away, so sad
A person in the building who as of today is officially a new client gave me a gift wrapped in paper that matched my shirt, we had a good laugh.
I worked my butt off doing multi-purpose Marnée jobs and finally filed my last deadline filing to CRA for 2020!!! That felt good. I was sad when Sean and Brett and Zoë left though as it was the last official office contact for the year. I am used to having a bevy at that moment with whomever is there. I received a text from Matt, my garbage man that there was something left for me and not to stub my toe. When I returned home there was a stack of parcels from Tupperware and the Carpenters as well as a special bottle from Matt. The gift from my Bella Bella friends was definitely Extra. I am in awe.
I stopped at the pet store to pick up a can of cat food to see if Missy will eat anything other than Fancy Feast. After that I met Ken and Ashley to take their photos for the Christmas collage. It was fun and they are my bubble for Christmas Eve which I am looking forward to. Stopped to get gas and discovered when I went in to but washer fluid that the Safeway gas bar sells milk! I needed some for the Christmas breakfast i am making.I had a coupon from groceries so my gas was under a buck a litre! Another Christmas miracle!
I got home and wished friends a happy Tibbs eve and was suddenly overwhelmingly verklempt. I reached out to Mark. I don’t usually because I know he suffers as I do but tonight I wanted to hear his voice and see his face. HE ANSWERED! Now we are talking a serious Christmas miracle. We texted and the FaceTimed for so long that I am now Tibbs drunk and have spent my time with a dear friend. I miss him so. Our inner children are good friends. It was so good to see his face and I hated having to say goodbye. I promised him I would be Maudlin as I have been enjoying the Crown Royal. I only promise you that I hope to have spelled and parsed well enough for you to understand and that I may read it over tomorrow but likely will not. It is. As it is. I shall take all my emotions and go get some sleep. Tomorrow I may or may not get much work done…. oh, I forgot to mention that Mark and I used to play Little Big Planet. I am Sack Girl and he is Sack Boy.
