I was at the office when I got the call that my Dishwasher was being delivered. I met the truck at my place and the guys brought it in boxed and all. The apparent lead guy told me to keep the box as it couldn’t be returned without it if there was a problem. I do not believe that. There is no way my warranty would be void without the box. He asked me when I was getting it installed and I said I was doing it tomorrow. At this point he kicked into full on mansplaining that it couldn’t jut be plugged in and I would have to wire it and to be sure I turned off the breaker, etc. I chuckled and replied it was ok that I used to build whole houses, I could manage this. He again reiterated how complicated the job was and pointed out the wiring harness to me. By this point I was losing patience at his rudeness and he tried to tell me he was an electrician and he knew what he was talking about. I stopped myself from asking why an electrician was delivering appliances and he left just as I was about to kick him out. I have absolutely no doubt he would not have said any of this to a man.
Finished a bunch of reports for a client, set up another new one and received an email that I had received platinum status as a Quickbooks Pro Advisor. That’s cool. I had a visitor in my office and instantly fell in love. A perfectly black Shar Pei named Otis. What a stunning dog.
I came home in time to get the cake iced, the gift put together and be at Ken and Ashlée’s for his 40th birthday dinner. We had KFC which I haven’t had in years. It was so good and so was the cake. It was his favourite, yellow cake with chocolate icing. I also brought the good scotch to joy together. We played the game I got him and he seemed happy with his Covid birthday care package.
On my way home I stopped to drop off Rae’s lazy Susan that I borrowed for the cake. Ended up having a distanced visit with her and Roger, and the neighbours, Addison and Vanessa. It was lovely to have a bevie and a visit.
when I had arrived home earlier there was a parcel waiting on my doorstep from my friends in Oregon. what a crazy wonderful surprise. Colleen found some perfect for me items and they were packaged up in the cutest box as well. I must admit it makes me so crazy happy to receive treasures from friends. To know someone is thinking of me makes my heart happy. It has always been the best part of a relationship. Knowing I am someone’s person, that things remind them of me. I am blessed to have an amazing circle in my life that fill that void often filled by just one person. I can’t wait for next year to hang my llama sweater on a coat hanger decoration on the tree.
