04-01-21 No foolin’
Up and at it, fumbled through getting ready without a bathroom vanity and suddenly the furnace guys were here. I dealt primarily with Ryan who was very kind and explained everything they were going to do when I left. I told him they could remove anything they need to out of the bathroom to make it work. Just before I left I decided to move the litter box and cat food into my room where Missy was hiding. As I was leaving the bathroom carrying it, Ryan asked if he should move his tool bag. I nonchalantly said no and as I stepped over caught my heel and fell full force on my knees and elbows, jamming my left pinky finger. I did not however spill the cat litter. I consider that a win. As the day went on I felt more and more sore and had to take a couple Advil. That helped. I am glad I didn’t scuff my shoes as I was celebrating the first day of April, my birthday month, in style, wearing my Dr. Henry Fluevogs
I had to pop into the Dr to see the duty Doc and get my stitches out. I unfortunately forget her name but she was sweet and said it all looked good. It was then get to the office and get things done. I seemed to be completely and regularly distracted. I did manage to get a shite ton of work done in spite of that. I also received a message that there was a report in my health portal. Made me laugh to see my respiratory report describe my results as ‘Grossly Normal” All good.
I received a message from a Theatre friend who had forgotten some things in the booth so agreed to meet him there. It worked well as I needed to go get some lunch after putting out some cords for the show that is postponed crew. unfortunately there were some things that made the Tech Director hat I wear uncomfortable and I had to decide how to deal . I waited until after work and must say I am tired of enforcing rules that no one seems to know about despite reassurances of the contrary. Everyone on the planet has their own agenda, I get it. Those are not always selfish but they also can be communicated in a way that leaves someone less than. I try not to do that but I do and sometimes it happens to me. I will let it go eventually. The soup I picked up at Max’s was delicious and satisfying.
Toward the end of the day I got a call from Jackson’s heating letting me know the guys were done but would be back with the custom cover plate on Monday. I stopped at the liquor store and headed home. I was absolutely shocked into a verklempt state when I got home and found that I had a beautiful furnace that is so quiet I am surprised when I see the money tree moving above the vent. more stunning and causing instantaneous outbursts of gratitude was the fact they reinstalled my vanity!!! Turns out the wall didn’t need to be moved and he needed to hook up a drain line. Must have decide to do me a solid at the same time. I would have had a nightmare putting it back around the new plumbing!! Seriously, I can’t even explain fully all the joy that brought. It was heavy and hard for me to take out on my own last night. To come home to a fully functioning bathroom is marvelous! I will be sending along a thank you note.
I poured a glass of Carménère from the last half of the last bottle from Campbell’s collection, called my Mom and had a good check in before settling down to dinner and a show. The Van Gogh puzzle is challenging and I just keep plucking away at it.
Completely forgot to mention that I got an email from Shoppers and was able to register for vaccine. I will get a text to book appointment. That feels soon!
