Just another day in the life

03-09-21 Marching on…

March 9, 2021


I called my Dr yesterday because I woke up to painful abrasions under my breasts from the Mammogram. I was told she was booked up for two weeks but when I mentioned what was hurting the receptionist said she would message my Dr and get back to me. I was called this morning to come in at 3:10 which I did and I was blessed by her caring and reassurance. She told me to put Zinc ointment on and it would heal. I laughed when she said it is like Frank’s Red Hot, she puts that (blank) on everything.

I have been dealing off and on with a complicated client and I guess I stayed calm and competent as she called and asked me to take on one of her portfolios until her new employee is up to speed. We were musing over the fact that there are so few good bookkeepers out there. The last one she had overstated their credentials. I have always said just because you bought a tool belt doesn’t mean you can call yourself a carpenter. So many people think buying software and doing data entry makes you a bookkeeper. I stopped being offended by that and am comfortable in my ability to keep learning and do what I do.

Rae-Anne and I went to Boston Pizza for Pasta Tuesday. We both ordered the same dish: Chicken Mushroom Fettuccine. This is what showed up…

Not sure how mine had all the mushrooms and hers had all the tomatoes. Was tasty though. And it was nice to be out together. Funny that we both found it kid noisy though.

After work I returned to Safeway to pick up my prescription for an antihistamine that has found to help when my inflammation is at it’s worst. Dr S was very encouraging about my lifestyle changes. She said the exercise and Dryish Feb and small changes along the way will be rewarding in the long run and to avoid and serious diets. I used my gift cards that I bought for Gene’s fundraiser and stocked up on groceries. My favourite find was yogurt on sale… called my name, it did.

I sold my old ceiling fan for $5 on the bid wars site. Pretty sure one of the three bulbs is worth that but it was bought by someone I have sold to in the past and am glad she can make use of it as hers broke down. I still haven’t raised my new one up to flush mount but will soon. I just noticed that my Christmas cactus is getting ready to bloom again. It is always so gorgeous when it does. Something else to look forward to!
