09-08-21 back on the fucking rollercoaster
UPS:
Received an email notification that one of my favourite games introduced to me by my friend Sarah in Bella Bella is now online! Can’t wait to play Patchwork with her again.
Rode my bike to work today and received my new seat in the mail from a couple in Owen Sound, Ontario who sold it to me at a very reasonable price plus shipping through Kijiji. Went out and changed it over between clients and honestly feel the love for my Triumph again. Years ago on Salt Spring while it was stored for the winter a cat had climbed underneath the cover and scratched holes in the seat which over the years filled with water and wore out the padding and expanded the holes to just make it look trashy. Now it looks sweet again thanks to Heidi and Jim.
I knocked off a bunch of client files that were on the list and left me feeling work accomplished.
Had Subway takeout with a co-worker as we like to do on a Wednesday.
Pro and con: the sky was freaky
Cons:
I learned that our local hospital is overwhelmed at the moment, that a terrible tragedy happened to a family and that it is getting very real in our area.
I got home to a letter from my super woman Dr saying she has not found someone to take over so will be shutting down her practice. This is terrible for me to process. I sing her praises regularly for the awesome holistic and real approach she had. I have to process how to go forward.
I am frustrated and feeling like I don’t know how to solve the issues left on my plate by people blowing smoke up my ass instead of living up to the commitments they have made.
PROS:
I had a gentleman, David, call me from Canada Life to let me know that he had a better plan for me than what I had requested. I was trying to transfer my Pension RRSPs from them to someone else to consolidate and he was worried I would be paying too many fees so suggested an alternative that saved me hundreds of dollars. I praised him for that as I was taking business away from them and he still went out of his way and his response was simply that it was all about customer service to him!! Give that man a raise!
Dinner was delicious, I have discovered I love Dukka spice from Egypt.
My neighbor came over, talked me off the ledge, tuned my guitar and played a few songs around the fire….
And then I ate my unicorn cookie… tomorrow is another day.
