12-29-21 Happy Tears
Emmy slept all night. She told me though that she had gotten stuck in the bathroom because she turned off the light before she opened the door and then she couldn’t find the switch again for a while. She is one awesome 4 year old in that she didn’t even call and wake me up, just kept trying until she found it. And believe me it is complete darkness in there. We were watching a show that was making me a little veklempt when she said, I have a little bit of tears, but they are happy ones. I told her I did too and we had a moment. That is a lovely depth of emotion.
We got ready, had breakfast and then played Mario World while the Culligan Man was here. Daniel is a great guy and I appreciate him when he comes to service my softener and drinking water system. He is always so respectful. Emmy is getting better at the game and it is hard as it is on Wii and the contrôler is harder to handle for her. She was sweet Ain her outfit from Bill and Deanne.
I dropped her at her grandparents and headed to the office. I had so much to accomplish that I didn’t get done yesterday and I had a mani-pedi booked since last month as my present to me. I really didn’t want to cancel it. I was concerned about keeping it as I am now segregating myself but know that they have barriers, masks and good hygiene procedures. It was a wonderful choice even if I was still answering email and texts while enjoying it all. I wish I had dealt with my hairy toes though, lol. Gosh, I am sooooo single. It is also the first time I was really aware of my age showing in my hands. I remember telling guy friends, if you really want to know her age, look at the hands. And now, here I am, all 58 years of me. Oh well, still here, that’s good.
I picked up a new mask for my CPAP, $225! Oh well, it saves my life nightly. Also picked up the stuffing to finish Obi’s bed. It was on 50% off, great saving. I bought one extra so I could make sure it is easy to fluff up and will last a long time. On the way home I stopped to pick up my Christmas present from Rae that had arrived. Loop Earplugs. I look forward to seeing how well they will work at the office and in movie theatres.
I hooked up my Apple TV, made my Hello Fresh dinner, and settled to watch Finch with Tom Hanks. It was charming as all of his movies are. After that I sewed the Dog bed and watched Twas The Fight Before Christmas, a documentary about a real life Clark Griswold and his battle with the HOA (home owners association) in Idaho. It was…. Bizarre!!!
I fit a lot in the last few days but there is so much on my list I am dreaming about work and am feeling the pressure of the list to get through in the next two days. I have had to triage, that’s for sure.
It was a cold day but glorious. I do love living in a postcard.
