11-16-21 new clients
I started the day by reliving yesterday and wondering how long it would have normally taken to get to Jake’s house from here. As it happens maps knew there is no way to get to the coast except through the the states but that also is not possible as you would need to have been very recently Covid tested to go that way. I heard today they are planning to change that for BC residents who have to get from A to B.
It was icy and windy still today but not as windy as yesterday. The tarp blew off the roof of my shed but is bunched in the corner by the fence so I can recover and secure better on the weekend. I had a physio appointment at 2 and Mark worked on my right hip again. He told me to come back if I needed him. I am sitting on the heating pad stretching it out at the moment. Who knew that bone spurs on a hip were even a thing? Not me! The cause the muscles and ligaments down my leg, up my side and up my arm to seize but at least I know what it is not and have stretching exercises to help. Knowledge is power!
Part of the stress of the day was knowing I had a meeting at 3:45 with potential new clients. I was referred by an accountant I used to work with and as a favour to him decided to meet with them and maybe assist them in setting up and train them to do their own. As it happens I really liked these two young women who are the ages of my 2nd and 3rd children. They have a solid plan and I look forward to helping them be successful. I can’t say what their business is as it won’t be fully operational until April but suffice to say I have the trifecta of clients in Kimberley now. I am grateful they were willing to have their yearend when it worked best for my workload.
I called Jake when I got home from buying cat food. I am not sure if that is the next hoarding thing but the shelves were picked nearly clean in the reasonable price range at Safeway. He told me all about the route he had to take that caused him to be on the road a total of 27 hours rather than the 9 it should have been. He has a good outlook though and said he saw a gorgeous part of the Province and wants to go explore it once the weather improves. He said we shouldn’t have worried as nothing could happen to him, he’s the main character in this story. I am impressed with his boss who responded to a tweet he saw with a personal message to get him accommodation or have him stay at his place if he could make it that far.
Sat and puzzled, the sort usually takes the longest for me but is so worth it. This one brings happy memories of Brighton Pier, the first place I was taken in England to dip my toes in the channel.
