12-15-21 Christmas kicked in today
I worked until it was time to leave for the Cranbrook Chamber Luncheon. Sean, Keri, Corey and I met Layla there. It was at the Heritage and I was pleased they checked passports going in. It was weird to be sitting at a round table for 8 and have a serve ourselves buffet. While we were there I received breaking news alerts on my phone that Canada issued a no non-essential travel warning. The concern is that travelers may get caught out of country and there will be no ‘rescue’. That seems fair to me. Taking the risk involves a fair warning. I had good conversations with the woman next to me, Cindy, who recognized me from Curves. She owns it, although her business is now called something else. She also felt the awkwardness of the group setting. It was so great to see Dennis Walker get citizen of the year. He is the morning broadcaster on the station I listen to while getting ready for work and just an all around great guy. There seems to be no end to his dedication to the community. The turkey dinner for lunch was delicious.
After that we were back in the office where I could get a little bit more done before it was time for the Ground Floor open house. There were beverages and some great charcuterie. It was actually nice to chat with people without the pressure of deadlines. I did wear my mask for a great deal of the time at it though. Chance ended up coming to my office and hanging out at the end. We chatted and caught up, So many positive changes in his life! Next thing you know it was 7 pm.
It was a day full of funny things and odd things and good things. I really was comfortable in my Walmart Christmas dress. I will have to buckle down tomorrow but it was nice to take a break.
