11-10-21 thought train derails
Over the course of a day as I am on the treadmill, in the shower, pumping gas, making dinner, I have deep thoughts that I want to share. I write blogs in my head on different subjects and then because I didn’t make any notes, I forget by the time I go to actually type. I fear that the truly interesting topics are left in ashes in my brain. They are purged by the action of thinking them. Sometimes the subjects that are left at days end are the ones I am choosing not to share lest someone is insulted or strongly opinionated about.
Today began as always, on the treadmill, watching Netflix. I am nearly done season three of YOU. It is a quirky show and completely fantastical. In some ways it is honest in its portrayal of relationships, the twisted thinking that is there. Work was calm and smooth again and much got done. I did take some time to go to the post office and send off my parcel to the UK. Can’t wait for my besties to get the package of festivities. I do understand why shipping is so expensive when you order something on line as Canada Post is very expensive. I am grateful to have saved some money through using my small business discount card. All worth it to share the joy of the season though! And such a festive box, don’t you think?! While I was there I remembered that Mark had told me about the CP Rail holiday train collector coin. Of course I had to have it. I was showing it to Emmy when I realized it shows day and night views, how trippy is that?
Just before three, Danika dropped off Emmy so she and Malcolm could go to the midwife. That was an experience. She is quite entertaining, including taking a bunch of pictures in the bathroom. She did ask me if my bobble had a glow stick sword which by far is my favourite definition of a light sabre ever! All went well for her baby sister’s impending arrival. I look forward to Emmy staying here with her Dad when he comes to visit this weekend.
I came home and had some leftovers, enjoying the thought of wearing my new boots tomorrow that arrived today from Marks. What a good deal! I also had messaged conversations with both the director and the person I reached out to to design the poster we are imagining. I will meet with Tanner tomorrow and Duncan is reaching out to his friend who is an artist to do the centre work for us. All will be revealed…
I was sitting on the couch enjoying my shows when I realized I had meant to go to Safeway on my way home. It was the last day of some airmile deals and 2 for 1 specials. I jumped in the car and headed there to actually enjoy the peace and quiet and my cashier was lovely. I got gas first with a 15 cent off per litre coupon and then took the coupon from that to use on the groceries. I was glad I went as I picked up things for the kid coming to visit this weekend.
On my way home I remembered I had left things in the fridge at work that I wanted at home. I stopped to pick them up and startled poor George, the janitor. A family of deer crossed in front of me and when I stopped I realized they were in a crosswalk. I was glad to have stopped long enough to take a picture as a small dawdler happened along shortly after.
Once home I settled in to watch my 90 day shows which I can’t seem to let go.. I see new shows pop up but am refraining as I really need to start reading again. I have so many good books calling my name!
