01-28-21 Bonding time
I am blessed by friends who read this and I start my day with encouraging messages from near and far; some touch my soul, some make me laugh, some give me hope. Today overall was awesome as I finished the last file I had to complete today and got a bunch of work preemptively done. Every one had cleared out early or wasn’t there due to C so I was able to open my door, crank Sirius and get ‘er done. I am currently listening to Eddy Trunk podcast and he is incredibly knowledgeable about hatred rock and metal. I am surprisingly interested in his interviews. My mail held a book I have been waiting for for some time now. I shall sink into the couch and enjoy it.
My goal was to get everything done and head to the hockey game, stopping at Bill and Deanne’s to trade puzzles on the way. They kindly invited me for dinner which was delicious and included a nice Smokey Scotch. It is always so nice to spend time with them. I wish I had the ambition D does to walk. Part of me was jealous of her getting out there and the other part was all “you know you are stiff for a reason” catty. She has inspired me to lose weight with her good efforts. They gave me a piece of black cheese that tasted like lemon meringue pie which just really messes with your senses. I have all kinds of ideas to use it for special occasions!
After dinner I headed to the arena and was grateful to get inside to warm up! The opposing team was from Wenatchee. I guess it is ok to come across the border now. It wasn’t the greatest game but we play them again tomorrow and will hopefully win. Aymo was a volunteer, it’s good to see the teens involved. Rae came and we had a good catch up, sharing the sorrows and fears of recent, ending in going to the FireHall for some wings and stupid expensive red wine. Both were very good and the air was cleared. We are good at that. Jordan was a great bartender/server and we enjoyed our ‘date’ night.
People are dropping like flies around me and I have to wonder if it is like chicken pox back in the day, where moms would try to get their kids infected so they would get it over with. Or maybe I will be one of the few who do not get it as I have been crazy careful. Tomorrow is paint the set day and I am thinking I should go help and thinking it is safer not to!!! I do have work to do on books tomorrow so we shall see what the mood brings.
Danika posted that they have COVID and that Emmy has been helping feed her mom, complete with lonely bread, mangled sandwiches. That child is something. I hope to see her mid February when Jake is coming for a visit.
