05-30-21 work and Friends
Up and out of bed early, did laundry and hung it on the line. Gorgeous day so I jumped on the bike and headed … to the office. I got 4 hours in on an important file and then found myself tied up by Shaw. I had a SIM card to activate to port my number from Telus to my Shaw account as it was only $15 packaged with my cable and internet. The woman I spoke to set it all up and said I would get a text from Telus that I should just say yes to and it would be moved over. 4 hours later it still hadn’t come so I read the email the system sent me. Turns out she had an extra letter in my last name, and an extra digit in my cell number and left off two numbers of my address. I called the number in the email and waited half an hour before hanging up and trying the original number I had called. That was probably a mistake as it took 45 minutes longer to finally get through to a nice sounding person who fixed it all and I now have a working phone again. I am just grateful they didn’t lose my number along the way. I jumped on the bike and took the very long way home looping my way out of town, around and back. I love this time of year when everything smells delightful. I don’t get that in the car. I could just go up and down roads, smelling the blossoming trees and the fresh cut lawns. I have to be careful though as I don’t have a functioning speedometer. I came home and had my second helping of last night’s dinner, it was just as good warmed up. I had built my new Stick Bug cage before I left and found 3 of the little things that I had missed in the transfer, just hanging out. The new cage is so much nicer and cool to watch now. I went and picked up Rae and we stopped at the corner store to get chips before returning to my place to watch Friends: The Reunion. I really enjoyed the walk down memory lane. It’s funny that the actors are closer to my age than Rae’s but their lifestyle in the show was closer to what her age group was experiencing. She and I were both married early and were responsible for other humans during our 20’s to 40’s. Maybe that is our love, the escape part. I still have a crush on Matt LeBlanc, and am so glad he is aging naturally, bit of a belly, grey hair and all. He still sparkles.
Rae starts a new Job on Tuesday and is feeling all the anxiety. I can relate but I also know she will excel at it. Today was Nigel’s 65th birthday and I had a couple gifts sent by Amazon UK to his home in Biggin Hill. I am so happy he likes his shirt and birthday plant for the garden. I am continuously blessed by the presence of he and Linda in my life. It was nice to surprise him a little. I even had a beer in his honour today!
