03-18-21 My style
I returned my Johanne Fluevogs today as the right foot was too tight in an unusual way and Patrick said I could. Once they reach Toronto I will be given a credit as they were sale items and in Vancouver at the first store on Granville where I bought my first two pairs decades ago is a gorgeous hot pink pair of Dr. Henry’s set aside in my size. They should arrive in time for my birthday in the middle of the pandemic still.. perfection!
I was in a good mood hen I got home and had the doors open, letting the fresh air in as I ripped off all of the faux tile I had installed in the kitchen. My guess that the ones I bought from the neighbour across the street may not have been stored properly was likely true as the section of ones I purchased were the hardest to remove and many others were already curled and released. I am so thankful I found this amazing mildew resistant washable wallpaper from England and was able to order it through Wayfair. I got the paste and brush through Amazon and Keri lent me a smoother. I have never used paper that wasn’t needing to be soaked in water and applied. This was so much easier and the paper is such good quality that I am thrilled how it went. I used the panel door with the original damage as a work station. Upside down it worked perfectly. I made it two thirds of the way round before it was time to relax. I love it so much. When I first put up the tile I was happy with it but when I sat on the couch all I could see was the imperfections. Now I look over and am quite chuffed. It is very 60s which I love and matches my light and colours perfectly. I will finish the rest this weekend and Danny will be here to do the trim work next weekend. He also suggested I get a furnace quote from the place he works as the $7K I was quoted seemed high to him. I also approached the other company before Christmas and still no furnace.
While I was busy removing the tile, Danika messaged to see if I wanted to meet her and Emmy at the park. I did and we all had a great visit. That was also how I found out Jake is coming for Emmy’s 4th birthday Easter Monday. I called him and he will stay here, yay!
Brett brought his new daughter to work today and it is always interesting to see all the Moms get Googly over a baby. I think I am not that way as a rule because I have sensed ‘issues’ in peoples kids before and it is awkward. When I do have a child in my arms though I am usually the baby whisperer. It’s quite the conundrum.
Jamie, the past and acting president of the Fisher Peak Performing Artists Society came by the office today and we had a great discussion about the bookkeeping and all other things Treasurer related. I went and paid for a Post Office Box so that things don’t go to his rural address any more. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the easily overlooked ones. I am glad to serve. I look forward to us presenting music again soon.
