03-23-22 A Scrumptious Day
Ok, so I didn’t make much money today but I had many special moments. It started with getting up and on the treadmill, steeling myself for a good day. First good thing was a call from the anesthesiologist to check in, ask and answer questions. He was so amazing, I only wish I had written down his name when he told me. He explained what would happen from his end, told me which pills to take and when and removed my fear of the hard time they usually have putting an IV in me by saying that if they had to put it in the crook of my arm, they would move it while I was under. He has also written that I am to be given Ativan when I get there to take away the stress as my throat and vocal chords inflame when under stress. I will be having a tube down my throat put in and removed while under but may have a sore throat after. It is good to know that will be why. I am allowed to have my clear nail polish as well. I am definitely a need to know person and all that information really calmed me.
I made it to work finally and got some email answered before I received a text from my cousin Donna who was in town from Kimberley getting groceries and she stopped at the office for a good visit. I then managed to get a bunch more done before heading to meet Shannon and Teri for lunch. It was a lovely time, learning about each other’s overview of life and talking about good times to come. It is nice to make new friends at this age! The meal at Cancun was delicious and didn’t upset my innards.
I worked on VIMF and CCT stuff for most of the rest of the afternoon. It is important that I support the new person we have asked to take on the Tech Director job and I was able to set him up for training with Pepijn and let him know he needs to become a member. I am grateful to have a great working relationship with him and an ease of communication. I steered him to the office to be sure he confirms everything with our administrator. The other thing I did was write a blog for the April 1st post and sent it off to Ash for review. She liked it and suggested I read it over again tomorrow in case I want to tweak anything before sending it for posting. Good advice, that.
The evening involved showing up at Key City Theatre to bar tend for the Fisher Peak Winter Ale series. It was a lobby show again and I really enjoyed it. I had seen Dave McCann on a program but couldn’t believe my good fortune to see him live. He was accompanied by Ethan Askey and what a show! I bought the CD and had a great chat with him afterwards. I highly recommend this singer-songwriter if you ever get a chance to see him. I hope we can have him at MusicFest some day.
Now it is nearly midnight and as I look back I am so grateful for this lovely day. My hands are a bit tender from using so much hand sanitizer as I had to handle so much cash, the bar was hopping!
