12-28-21 Take your Emmy to work day
3:30 am was when Emmy climbed in with me and then at 5:40 she was fully awake. The therapists who say you shouldn’t have a TV in the bedroom don’t have kids in their lives. Thank goodness for Netflix, bought me a little more rest. Up and having breakfast, we watched the JoJo Siwa special who Emmy says she is the big fan of. It was interesting and I can say she is a good influence. Her hard working, happy, age appropriate style is a good role model for young girls. Thankfully we were done breakfast when my watch buzzed one hour until my car was to be in the dealership. I had forgotten. We got ready and headed out and it took a bit to warm up the car as it was -23! The plan is to install my trailer hitch and wiring, the decals and software update for my all terrain tires. Sean, the person I have been dealing with since the original sale was very sweet and got Emmy a blue balloon. She was thrilled. We were driven to work with a promise to get us back as soon as possible.
Emmy was set up with her own little workstation so that I could do the Zoom training I had arranged. It took over 3 hours but I rounded down to 3 for the few interruptions from her. She was such a good little 4 year old, we even managed to play crazy 8s while I was zooming, lol. Once the training was over I messaged Danika to see how baby was and see if it would help to have Emmy one more night. She mentioned it would be good to FaceTime so we did. It was sweet to see Emmy kissing the phone and saying she wished she could hug Gwen. The hospital won’t let her in though. I wish I could wave a wand and make everyone healthy. It is hard to see a 17 day old baby on oxygen who can’t come home until she can be weaned off it. It is also hard to hear Emmy with her deep cough.
I got the call that the car was as ready as it could be today. Sean was straight up with me about the way my deal has gone down and that they have dealt with Josh about making sure things are followed up on. Because he couldn’t find me a rental car, he said they would give me my car back with the tire software fix and the hitch but not the wiring installed and no decals yet. They will have me bring it back in the near future and have it overnight to do the decal work so it will stick properly. I appreciate dealing with Sean as we are beyond the game playing, I feel. He even wrote was is left to do on a card and told me if I don’t hear from them in 7 days to follow up. He also had an even bigger and better balloon for Emmy and she was mightily impressed. From there we drove through Arby’s although there was disappointment that Auntie Rae wasn’t working. It was back to the office for a while as I had payroll to complete and I am now falling behind on what I hoped to accomplish this week.
Emmy asked if we could stop and pick up her bath scrubby duck as I had told her she could have a bath in my deep tub. Nancy had nicely thrown some fresh clothes and books in a bag as well. Rae also had some cold and flu relief that I picked up. Emmy was laughing so hard as the text sound I have for the girls are two different Yoda sayings. She asked me to keep texting them so she could hear them. We had good giggles as my car would send funny texts. She is such an intelligent, observant young child. It is a joy to be around her. Even her negative moments are relatively easy to turn around.
When we got home we played salon, she did my hair and we watched half of Space Jam the new legacy. It is great!! I am glad she recommended it. We stopped the movie so she could have a bath bombed bath and have her hair done at Nana’s salon. Then it was time to tuck in which went very smooth, and she was asleep in no time at all.
The decision to have her was hard at the moment but I am glad Rae pointed out that once I have her, I may as well have her as long as I can since I will be distancing with a vengeance for the next 7 days.
