Just another day in the life

Having bowel problems? I have a sure cure.. take a gentle natural laxative before bed. Be sure you have a webex meeting with a bank manager and a client the next morning.. cue the rumbling half way through.. hope that your sweating and squirming does not read on camera… Now you are guaranteed to have a crappy day.. in a good way!

I received a call from my Quickbooks account manager and it was all cheerful inquiries into how great our holidays went when he mentioned the wonderful trip he and his fiancé had to Vancouver Island. ‘It’s so much nicer on the West Coast than in Ontario’ he exclaimed. I sat silent for a moment processing how to respond. ‘ I think we should move on from this topic’, said I, ‘I didn’t even get to spend time with my grandkids across town let alone travel across the country’. He seemed oblivious.

I am still shaking my head and am at a loss how someone living in one of the most hard hit provinces thought that was a good idea.

I stopped to have a doorstep visit at my daughters to show off my new hair. As I was about to drive away I saw Ashlée and Sawyer returning from their walk with Obie. Sawyer was very emotional about his desire to hug me and we elbow bumped, air hugged and blew kisses. Gene is now way taller than Rae at 13 and a half. Lukas and Will are maturing into pre-teens and Emmy, well I just miss our weekly Thursday nights together, full stop.
