08-20-22 weird day
I waited up until after 1:30 and Sheldon was still not here so I went to bed and didn’t sleep well as I was concerned that he didn’t pay his rent as he had promised on Friday. Just after 7 am I could hear the texts coming in so I checked and found he wanted my email to send me money. I got up and found his stuff was still here so I let him know it wasn’t working for me. He was supposed to leave today and I need some alone time. I am very peopled out. It turns out that the self professed good looking so staying here with the family is a cop and his Mom told me he had taken a picture of Sheldon’s license plate just in case. I wish I had known sooner as it was a relief to know they had my back. Sheldon came back and got his stuff, stayed until the payment went through and was very apologetic. I met Rae at Fenwick & Baker for breakfast and we had good food and a good visit. She took off for work and I came home with intention to have a nap but I was called by Gene that he had slept through his alarms and could I drive him to work. I did and then came home for a lay on the couch for a bit as the biking family took off for Kaslo. After doing laundry and tidying up, making good headway cleaning the pool etc, I headed to the park, stopping to get the ice from Arbys.
I was the site manager and emcee tonight. The three acts were Emma Kade, Doug Mitchell and Wally followed by Judy Brown and her band. During the sound check I noticed the guitar player for Judy looked familiar but I couldn’t place him when suddenly I realized it was Sam Hurrie, Doug Cox’s friend and a musician who is often at Vimf!! We made a connection and it was so great. I found out he lives in Riondel since Oct 2018. The band was great, the crowd was small but appreciative and in spite of several miscommunications it was a success. It only rained for a short time, but it helped to take the heavy out of the air. Gene came and played water boy which was lovely.
More lovely than all of it was coming home to an empty house. I am on the couch with a glass of wine, watching Feel Good. It is interesting so far
I thought it funny earlier today when I went past the theatre and saw that the new sod was not all put in the same direction.
