08-17-21 An interesting day
I had a terrible sleep last night worrying that the tent trailer would leak but found this morning that it didn’t! I guess the spray sealer I used last week did the trick because it really pounded down. There was heavy rain and thunder much of the night. I only hope some of the fires were put out… oh wait yes, the fire near my jeep has had the Alert rescinded!!!! Yay!
The disturbances, of course left me less than rested. I worked on my volunteer stuff for most of the day, taking time to run out and have my nails done, mail my old internet router back, buy a new corn broom and spray paint for the fire pit I bought. I did manage to get a few hours billable time in but feel confidently ready for the rest of our music season so it was worth taking the time. At one point, while trying to do payroll and society things at the same time I included the wrong Steve in an email. Fortunately my client is awesome and deleted it right away, letting me know. I HATE those kind of mistakes. Fortunately there was no sensitive information shared. I must say I love the display at the mall!
I got a couple more bookings tonight and think I will make it to Superhost soon, in spite of the two star rating for accuracy from the American couple earlier this month. I have had 5 stars across the board since 2017, sigh.
I had quite the experience at Safeway and learned that I am a social dork now!! I used to be good at the flirt game but for the 2nd time since I have moved back to Cranbrook I have been engaged by a handsome charming man and basically just lost my shit… yep, this time it was over produce and all my senses immediately responded to the fine specimen of man trying to engage me in conversation. The problem was I was so caught off guard that I could barely gather myself to respond and rather than offer my number or even just my name, I told him he was making me blush under my mask and bolted to the dairy aisle. I mean he couldn’t have made it more clear that he was interested when we were discussing his smoothie recipe and he asked if I was going to get enough ingredients to make one for my husband. I said, I only needed enough for one and his response was that he couldn’t believe I didn’t have anyone to appreciate my beauty. He really liked my nails. IKNOWIKNOW, it’s cheesy, but also sweet and it made me feel good so I am just going to soak in the joy and continue kicking myself for not nailing down that opportunity. I shall hope that I run into him again and this time I will not let the opportunity pass.
I was at Safeway to pick up fish so I could use the last of my Hello Fresh which was missing it. It was late and I was having a good visit with Dylan so I asked him to join for dinner. Turns out we are both smart Aries people and there was great dinner conversation. He, like Carol before him make up for the one or two somewhat less than experiences. After dinner we got a good collection of stick bugs for him to take home. They were racing to get out the moment we opened the cage so the ones that made it out are now in his cage to take home. He is pretty sure his 12 year old daughter is going to love them. I am glad to be passing some of them on. Funny souvenir to go home with!
