Just another day in the life

05-10-21 Everyone is getting Jabbed!

May 10, 2021


Today:

Treadmill, shower, makeup, feed George, feed Missy, mist the stick colony, pick up CCT coroplast sign, grab soup and sandwich for lunch at Max’s, decide co-workers need cinnamon buns from Max’s, read through and triage 3 days worth of email (over 150), upload audit info, relearn Payworks payroll system, have photo taken for paper promo for theatre, enjoy delicious soup and sandwich, do some training on Sage, prep work load spreadsheet for the rest of the month, call Mabel for advice on Payworks (which I originally trained her in), have a lovely long conversation with my dear friend Mabel who I have not seen since beginning of December 2019, receive call from dear Jenny in Bella Bella who needed me to send her my email so she could send me a picture of her blooming Rhodo, finish one payroll for the first time, do HAPPY Dance, file PST, leave work at a decent time (6), drop off sign at theatre, drop off Diane’s dishes from our trip, drop off puzzle for Rae to do, have quick yard visit with Rae, Gene and Ashlée, home with a container of special ‘Hot Mess’ dinner Roger made (Uber delicious), picked up junk mail, watered garden, felt chuffed as things are coming up, put a call out to the FaceBook hive to see best method for getting rid of plants that are ruining driveway (boiling water and vinegar), fed George, misted Colony, played cat door in and out game for the evening, worked on Star Trek puzzle, watched shows (cried over The Good Doctor).

The best thing of all is I watched my Facebook stream fill up with reports of my family and friends getting their vaccinations. Roger was today and Rae tomorrow!! Mine is Thursday and so many others that it gives a tremendous sense of hope. I long to flick the hug switch in my brain again. It has been so difficult to FEEL when someone needs one and not respond, to hold back the life sustaining energy of a good and honest hug.

Oh, yeah and apparently I have trained Missy to say please when she wants out. She meows to go out. I go to the door and ask, “What do you say?” And she lets out a soft mew in response.
