07-12-21 My cat says ‘Please’
It was nice to have my Mom overnight. It is just a shame that it was a Monday and I had to head in to get peoples payroll done. I was happy to accomplish something for a client that hadn’t happened for the last three years. It is the satisfying part of the job to get to do a happy dance. I met with my friend Matt who spent time with me working out the needs for gear for the Tech booth. We have a grant and I need to get the items ready for when the theatre is finished being renovated. It felt good to make a plan and a list and reach out to three different local businesses for different parts of the list. I always want to spread the love around and keep things ‘in the family’. After that I picked up my Mom and we headed out to Meadowbrook on the outskirts of Kimberley where a bunch of her family live and share a meal with more extended family. We really are a lot of fun when we get together. I left Mom there as she and Rosie are heading back to Blind Bay tomorrow and then Mom will head home soon after to Surrey. It was a short visit with her this time and I worry as she has allowed Covid to age her terribly. I think she has spent far too much time sitting and now hobbles along with her cane in spite of having two new hips. I admit to lecturing her to get out walking more.
I received two more bookings for August and was super impressed with one of them as she explained her whole trip and her safety plan and about being vaccinated. I really appreciate that. I think I will add to my profile that I am fully done as well so they will know before booking.
They are really making headway on the infrastructure changes that are coming along with the development next door. The only concern is that there is now only one entry into our park and it may be gone soon as well. They did warn us that there may be periods where we will not be able to go in and out. I hope we get warning before that becomes reality.
So, my cat.. she has a very distinctive meow, much like a Siamese. When she wants out, she lets me know with certainty. We have a routine though and it amuses me. I stand at the door with my hand on the knob and say, ‘say please’ to which she immediately lets out a tiny short meow in a completely different voice. Cats are so dang smart they are kind of scary, lol.
I am not sure if it is all the peopling the last few days or still the side effects of the shot but I am pretty much dragging butt.
