04-14-21 Tulips!
Today was another very full day and I knew it would be so I dressed up nice, put on my favourite jewelry, straightened my imaginary crown and headed out. I was remarkably blessed when my friend Maureen dropped off tulips and a card with a pink balloon attached. It was so sweet and she said the white tulips were for peace. All I know was that they made me smile. And then I opened the card! So remember that card I received from my friends on Salt Spring Island? That was from my Mary Lynn who has a bedroom that is a tribute to Audrey Hepburn and I used to have a Miata I called Audrey which ML and I loved to cruise around in with our big sunglasses and pink scarves. Maureen had no idea of that back story but she managed to pick the perfect card.
What a perfect gift of flowers, love and great memories! That definitely perked up my month. I wish ML and I could spend time together like we did in the past. It is a big birthday for her on Sunday and a getting closer one for me on Monday. Now I have my two favorites and she has hers that I was surprised she still has and sent me a picture of via text today.
Got to meet at the theatre again today with the President and The electrician to make clear plans for the Tech booth. We are having issues getting permission to do a big theatre restoration that we received a 178000.00 grant for. The city inspector is saying we need architects and engineers and potentially a sprinkler system in our historical building. This has never come up previously and we are on the last stage of the renovation, the theatre proper… it is frustrating and disheartening. Trying hard to stay positive.
Came home to what was still a gorgeous day, a warm evening. Chatted with the new Neighbour and I am enjoying getting to know her. Came in to find it already very warm. When I left home it was -2 and when I got home it was 18 outside and 21 inside. I did get the quote to finish connecting AC to my furnace and it is just north of 3500 dollars so I will have to think about that. Need to make a budget to pay taxes next year. I can do that as I am nearly done with spending on my renovation and there is no where to go.
I received information that there is a potential stay at home order coming in BC so I booked my nail appointment for tomorrow on lunch. Not sure whether it is true but I am ready no matter what. I have an abundance of puzzles….
