03-21-21 365 days and much to be grateful for
On March 22 2020 I packed up my office at the Firm on a Sunday afternoon and moved home so as to feel safer about the Pandemic we had all heard of. My life has been on its own trajectory of change since. I thought today that before I wrote the 365th blog in a row, I would read about the year and process what I had written along the way. The day had other plans for me though and I have no regrets. I still plan to do that, read my own crazy, but not on this Sunday that involved connecting with two people who are part of my bucket list brainscars and make my heart happy to see their faces and hear their voices. In my life there have been places I would like to see, three I would like to see and two I must see. Little did I know that the same two people I met in Peru would become the ones to enable the fulfillment of my second on the list, visiting London and a bonus to Paris. There is hope that they will want to visit (or have not already visited) Belize, The Galapagos and Easter Island. Those trips would complete the top of my lists and the rest would be gravy. They are very active people so I don’t think a cruise of the Mediterranean with stops in Italy and Greece would be on their list and we all have fear of ships now.. but a girl has to have a dream.
After a lovely FaceTime visit with Linda and Nigel, I headed to Twice Is Nice looking for coat hook ideas and a musical jewelry box for Emmy who turns 4 in a couple weeks. I took a long time wandering through all three floors. It was the closest thing to travelling I can imagine. So many things reminded me of other people and places. I managed to find a board with coat hooks that had just arrived and a pair of walking poles just my mini size and it all cost only 16.50! I also spoke with the owner and he is interested in my bringing in the stage lights we are selling for the theatre on consignment. I made a date to bring them for him to see on Wednesday.
From there I headed into the office and spent several hours working on the books and reports for the community Theatre board meeting on Tuesday night. Having two titles is a lot of work. I will see how long I can keep setting boundaries while meeting my commitments. I would love to direct and or be in a show but I fear I will not be able to do it all.
I made the decision to be fiscally responsible and advertise a pair of my Fluevogs for sale. They are the most I have ever spent on something to wear including wedding dresses. I hope to get a reasonable amount of the cost back. They are beautiful and if you are interested, please reach out… I am asking $300 Cdn pls shipping, but will take offers.
I may regret that I came home so late from the office as I had to clean George’s tank, have some dinner, do some chores and then my puzzle got the best of me. I should be in bed, the 21st is nearly done and my year under the umbrella of Covid-19 is complete. What a year it has been.
