11-01-22 No good deed
There were simply not enough hours in this work day. Because I was to meet at my place to give my dressers, and other items to Natalia at 6 pm, I spent the time getting everything ready this morning. Once at the office I could barely look up from all the things on the list. I ran out at lunch to the Heidout to check on the room for the party and was blessed that Heidi happened to be there and we discussed the perfect set up. There will be a nook by the fire for musicians to sit and jam, the place will easily seat the 36 of us expected, planning for 40 just in case, and I know who the people there will be away as Jordan has won another award for his beer and they will be off to Vancouver. I was super glad to get that part of the plan off my list and I stopped at the Dollar Store to get drink and door prize tickets. Once back at the office I kept at it. This morning I had had a panic attack starting as there were software issues and the one company said it was the other’s problem. Turns out it wasn’t and with only 6 minutes to spare, the second company agent and I figured out the work around and I got the payroll posted in time for them to be paid on Friday. That was a relief. Everything that is on my plate right now is a priority. Times like that call for me to nose down and get them all done as fast as I can. Suddenly my alarm was going off and it was time to get home and meet Natalia. I didn’t start dinner as I needed to focus on it and didn’t want to be interrupted. Unfortunately they didn’t show up until 7:30. She took one dresser, and Jackie’s table as well as a box of bedding and towels and a few other things I was able to throw together. I know Jackie would be happy to know it is being used by a refugee. I spent a great deal of time moving Auntie Ollie’s vanity and dresser set into my room and putting my clothes away. I have a whole bag of socks to drop off at Street Angels tomorrow. The snow is coming down and it is a good time to donate them as they serve the street people. After that I made dinner which was a delicious mushroom soup and ciabatta cheese buns. It was as good as mine and nice and easy with the portions. I look forward to it for lunch tomorrow as well. Now I am tired, I didn’t get to sleep until after 2 in the morning so I will wind down and try again earlier.
