I got up and made coffee to settle back in bed to watch Loki, my new favourite bad boy crush. I didn’t last long as I realized I needed to get things ready for the guests staying tonight and Summer Sounds. I was making the bed in the guest trailer when I suddenly just started crying. It took me a bit to realize that it was coming from the trigger of it being July 31st. 58 years ago on this day, when I was 3 months old, my Mother and Sister, Rae Ann drowned on my sisters third birthday. Losing my primary bond at that age left me with a hole in my psyche that I have spent a lot of money on therapy about over the years. And, still it seems to haunt me, as came the tears this day. I had been thinking about a new vehicle for some time now so I thought it a good day to go looking as I have a spare two hours and a need to be distracted.
Note the numbers!!!! 
After looking at a good number of vehicles I suddenly had a gut reaction to the 2022 Hyundai Tucson in the middle of the showroom floor. I have always wanted to buy a showroom car. It had the Kootenay addition package with fab rims and All Terrain Mud and snows that look more like truck tires as well as a Thule Roof rack to start and is Amazon Grey, how perfect is that. I mentioned I would like to keep the headrest tablets and holders and they threw them in. I also got the full value owed on my Honda for trade in. I am just chuffed, can’t wait to go for a drive and just pull over and sleep!. Now I want to buy a kayak as well. I did find it wasn’t too expensive to get the tow package as well so I could tow my jeep on a trailer to shows when it is fixed up. I honestly am so chuffed and they even let me take it away with transfer papers without even signing the loan documents yet. It pays to shop on the last day of the month when they want to meet their quota. I had to rush off do fulfill my obligations at Summer Sounds but really I wanted to go for a long drive!
I really am ridiculously excited and looking forward to adventures. Jake arrived and brought Emmy to the park for a while. I had fun tonight managing the booth and being water girl. The Quimbys and Voodoo Rhythm Kings performed, Bif Naked was in attendance, the park was packed and it was steamy hot out. I had the most fun doing the emcee part with Maureen and solo. She writes us up a basic script and we take it from there. I have always enjoyed emceeing. I was walking around with water when I heard someone call my name for some and then mention we were a long way from MusicFest. It suddenly twigged that it was Tanner from Courtenay! He is working on the project next door and I am thrilled. Look forward to having him over. This day really did improve immensely and I had a really nice visit with Jake when I got home as well.
