Just another day in the life

I heard from Jackie’s son, Reid that the outbreak is over at her care home and that he will get to see her on Monday. That is the best news ever. For some reason she was gifted a ‘light’ case of Covid and seems fine. I am so grateful.

I went to physio first thing this morning and we are slowly working on my neck to realize everything whatever is wrong in my neck that is causing issues. Mark Johnson is great. He is kind and thorough and engaging. All the things that make one feel taken care of . It’s a shame my benefits only cover 20 of the 75 dollars per week for treatments.

It’s probably good I shoveled my way out before going to physio because I could sure feel my elbow for the rest of the day.

One of the more frustrating things that has happened recently was trying to sign in to an ICBC site. It said my licence was invalid so I called in. The woman did everything she could to confirm my identity but her questions were so odd there was no way I could answer them. Where did you last renew your license, what two pieces of ID did you use, what date did you get your license originally. Good grief, it was an exercise in frustration for both of us. I finally said, look I am not angry at you but I need to know if I have a valid license and I can not get into an office right now. I can tell you the three other last names I was under an the last three addresses I had. She kept saying there was nothing she could do and then she put me on hold and came back to ask me my last two addresses. I felt sorry for her as she sounded new and on script but I needed to find out that I need to deal with my class 4 medical until my license is good for good. At least I know now it is still valid in the meantime.

I worked 7.5 hours on one file today. My garbage man’s 🙂 We chatted back and forth all day to get him caught up. It felt good to get it done. He and his wife are of the few who get to text me any time at all with work stuff.

I spent time getting my Interior Design books and software together for Diane. I want to encourage her to follow her talents. I think that will make her happy. I looked through them this evening and it gave me joy so I hope they do the same for her. Their family will be transitioning to to Vancouver Island in a year and a half. I think she should prepare by setting herself up for success as a designer. You can see by her home she has a gift for it. (And I think she and I are ok after last night which makes my heart happy)

I tried my Norwex Descaler in my shower and bathroom sink and am blown away by how well it works. My sink had been rough from the hard water and now it is like new after only five minutes.

Tomorrow’s Friday!!!

I wasn’t going to mention this part of my day but I can’t let it go until I do apparently. I had to drop off paperwork to the Firm I used to work for and as soon as I walked in the door I started having trouble breathing. I mean, really was struggling. I blamed it on walking up the stairs in a hurry but it was a full on anxiety attack. This left it very clear that I made the right choice to spread my own wings. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I do wish them the best though and will continue to work for our clients amicably.
