04-16-21 Well, at least it’s Friday!
Another multitasking kind of day. I was thrilled that George the janitor showed up to detail my car. He was looking for some extra work and I paid him to do that. He took great care vacuuming and wiping down the inside. I hope to do the outside tomorrow while Emmy is here. It is supposed to be beautiful and warm. It felt good to turn on the outside taps and water the bulbs. I was motivated to leave winter behind and advertised my snow thrower for free on the Cranbrook Facebook buy and sell. I probably should have charged for it as one minute later a man asked if he could come see and then 4 more people said next. I was happy that it was an older couple though and I explained I was giving it for free in case it didn’t work because it would be worth it for them to spend money to get it fixed. I never bothered trying since 2018 when I bought all the yard gear from the previous owner. Tired of moving it around. I oddly love shoveling and most days you only need to sweep. I also listed a lovely pair of shoes that came wrong size as I have given up finding someone I know who will fit them. I was beginning to feel like Prince Charming looking for my Cinderella. I feel as though I have finally broken the back of April and today I realized there are still two full weeks left. This allowed me to stop and have a glass of wine outside with others in the co-work community, compliments of Viola. It was 21 degrees!! I also realized I do not need to go in to work this weekend. (Insert heavy sigh or jig of joy) Tonight was another puzzle night but I will say it was awesome to have the door open and the smell of Spring in the house. I wanted to have my friends over to complete the invitation to watch a show outside around the fire but by the time it got dark it had dropped to 10 already. Maybe another week or two. My lifelong friend, Julie, sent me a lovely card and two micro towels to clean my glasses and electronics which reminded her of me. Those are exactly my love language gifts. I thrive on the knowledge that people think of me. That is not just ego, maybe a little ego, but mostly just that connection that equals love and a reason to be. Julie has always been team Marnée, even when I am my cranky self and that is unconditional love at it’s finest. I wish she was allowed to travel here and visit again. Soon…
I finished a puzzle and worked on the biggest in the collection. Thankfully, today my cases arrived for my phone. It feels good not to worry about glass slivers when I pick it up! Somehow I have managed to stay up until 2 in the morning and I have an ABC Zoom in the morning as well as Emmy. I best get to sleep!
