08-15-21 really, half way through August already?
My guest was gone when I woke up and she left everything nice. It was lovely to have someone so respectful. It’s not that others weren’t it’s just that she is the first one to wear a mask and leave everything almost as if she wasn’t here. We both left each other great reviews, she loved my fairy garden lights. I stripped the bed and cleaned before throwing everything in the wash. I hate having to use the dryer but it is still so Smokey. I had a coffee and watched Grace and Frankie new episodes. I do enjoy this show. The cast is full of characters. I remembered I had a bag still in the car from yesterday at superstore which included new crab forks for 84 cents and a cute top on sale for Emmy.
I got a call from Rae that there were issues with Gene’s reception on the phone on my plan and that I might find the same problem so I got dressed and went for a drive while I was talking to her. I was only a few minutes out of town when the call dropped. I turned around and headed back to the Shaw store in the mall where I was grateful the original salesman was working. He had promised me a $150 credit on my internet for the hassle last time and it hadn’t shown up. After a couple hours, Gene and my phones were both on a better plan, Lukas was also on my bill, Will got his first phone purchased and I have an even better internet plan. Lukas videoed Will opening his phone and he couldn’t believe his eyes. He was so surprised. Sawyer cried because he didn’t get one but it is more for connection as Gene and Lukas will both be in the middle school next year leaving Will and Sawyer in elementary. It was also just a $79 Razor not an iPhone like his big brother’s hand me downs. I did end up getting the credit as well which helps with all the cost of the new phone.
After that was all solved, I grabbed Chinese food from the Mall and headed to the office as I was now running behind on getting the society books caught up for tomorrow’s meeting. We didn’t have a meeting needing reports in July so I had twice as much to do. I need to stay more on top of it during our busy season. I will have to make sure to come home and make dinner before the meeting so as to avoid the Hangry Marnée. Was coming to an end of the work when I noticed it was getting dark! That hasn’t happened in a while. I got home, made up the tent trailer and vacuumed the space to be ready for the guest for the next two nights. After watering the garden, I made a quick meal and hooked up the new Modem which took a while to reconnect to. I am still having issues with my watch connecting to my phone since Shaw doesn’t have a system for watches yet. Technology, am I right?!
I sound all full of First World problems but it means a lot for me to be easily connected for work from anywhere I choose to be. It is still much cheaper than I had before. I am slowly reeling in the extra expenses for add-ons in my life. I need to be able to afford to be on the road if I did just close up my place for a while. I may need to start training Missy to a leash…. And a kennel and car rides…
