Just another day in the life

I received an email first thing this morning from Thule that confirmed my thoughts. It was not the correct one for my year and model. I went to the dealership by 9 am and waited to talk to management. I was happy to be told it would be taken care of, that they will reach out to Hyundai Canada to get the correct one. There was lip service to paying my deductible. I am pretty adamant about that. I was told it would take some time to solve as they had never had a claim for accessories before and had to find out what to do. I do know that they will pay.. or else, lol. Thule also offered me a 50% discount on anything they sell which was very awesome of them. I came home and got the rack and rails and dropped them off to them and then finally headed to the office. Most of the day was spent on Society work. I did manage to get a couple billable hours in but cleared more off my list which was good. I love my new mouse. It didn’t take long to figure it out and it was much easier on my hand.

I came home to make and have some dinner before heading to my last official Board meeting for Cranbrook Community Theatre. The next time I meet with them will be the AGM in September. There I will be available to answer any questions about the Treasurer report and pass the torch. I am going to be doing the books for the next year at least but will not be on the Board. The meeting went well, everyone was calm and much was dealt with.

I am getting so many requests to stay at the Airbnb that I am having to be very careful that I can manage it. The next three weeks I have a great deal on my plate but they are mostly things I will really enjoy as long as I am prepared. Tomorrow night’s guest won’t arrive until after midnight at the airport so I am not sure what time he will actually arrive. I told him to knock loud as I may have fallen asleep. I forgot to change the number of guests back to 2 after the family who brought their own tents were here so I had a request from a German typing person for 3. I explained one of them would have to sleep in the messy den and they still booked so I hope nothing was lost in translation. There was another request for Friday at 8 until Sunday at the same time but that is when the German family is checking in so I said yes but I would need them to check out earlier so I could do laundry and remake everything. I used to book a day off in between, should have kept that practice. Being that this is likely my last year though, I am taking all the bookings. I enjoyed following Tom Shypitka as he did live posts on his journey to Atlin. He was there to hear what the people had to say at a town hall meeting and see if he can get permits to placer mine sped up to save this amazing community. I have a good friend who lives there and have visited for work. It is a gorgeous piece of living history. Shane said he went up to Tom and told him his friend Marnée said he is a good guy. I will have to have a chat with Tom when he returns.

Missy was waiting for me when I got home. I forgot to turn off my flash so she turned into my newest night light in the yard.
