August 7, 2022

I tried to sleep in this morning but found myself up at a decent time and working my way through some chores. I decided to get myself prettied up in a sun dress and head into the office to finish my data entry and reporting for Tuesday’s FPPAS board meeting. I intermittently dropped things off at the park and accomplished many chores, picking up prescriptions, purchasing chemicals for my pool as poor Emmy was in it last and came down with Hand, Foot and Mouth disease (from others, not the pool), and shopping for a punching bag to hang on the stand I was able to get for free from an acquaintance.

Once I got myself settled at Rotary Park, I learned the stage manager preferred me to MC. I admit, I really love doing it. Over the years I have been blessed to do so in front of 10s of thousands of folks at EXPo 86 and many other moments. It is a different kind of performance, more like stand up and it is more awkward as the audience is at quite a distance but I really do love it and am honoured that our team has that faith in me. It is also fun to do the announcements with Maureen as our banter back and forth works well.

I knew it was my official night off and that I could mostly hang out so I had messaged my friend Steph and asked her to join me. We had a great night of chat and encouraging each other in our life goals etc. We acknowledge each other’s ethics and desires for the good and full life we desire. It is good to have a top tier friend like her. At 59 and 45 it is wonderful to find such connection.

I came home and have been watching Amazing Race Canada which has been nearly local in Fernie and Sparwood. So fun to watch.
