Just another day in the life

11-12-22 It’s beginning to feel a lot like…

November 13, 2022


I got to sleep after 3 as my CPAP started spewing water and gurgling. The funny thing was I woke up just after 9, fully awake. As I lay in bed scrolling Facebook and trying to decide if I wanted to sleep longer, I saw a post that reminded me there was a small business fair at the Eagles Hall. I texted Rae-Anne to see if she wanted to go and got myself ready to meet her there as she was already out. We had a wonderful morning of perusing small businesses only in our city after finding treasures at the fair. It was a lot of fun. When I got home just after noon I decided to lay out all the gifts for birthdays in the next two months and Christmas. It turns out I have very few left to get so I wrapped and made a list of what is left. I was watching Casual on Netflix as I worked and it was very enjoyable. As I was going, I also did laundry and changed out my bedding for the buffalo plaid set from my airbnb. I honestly can’t wait to tuck in tonight, it looks so comfy.

Just after 3:30 I headed to New Wellness Energy spa for my waxing appointment. It was great to catch up with the lovely Ireland. I mentioned wrapping today and she said she was buying experiences for her family this year including planning to buy tickets for her Grandma to Daniel Lapp. Full Stop, WHAT? Daniel Lapp is coming here? How did I miss that? I was determined to research when I got home. Before I left the Prestige, where the spa is, I asked the front desk if I could see the train car room as I really want to stay in it. It turns out there are two and they are stunning! Unfortunately they are only available again come April due to the water having to be turned off. They are also about $350 a night but at least I got to see them and can have a dream of a perfect staycation.

Once I got home I started researching Daniel Lapp and was thrilled that he was using Ashlée’s photo as the main page of his website but it had no tour dates. Ireland messaged me the link to the tickets and I realized I hadn’t paid enough attention to the Key City site that he is with SOTK – Symphony of the Kootenays. The same photo is being used for the Key City ticket sales and I hadn’t even noticed! I am so dang proud of her. Unbeknownst to her I reached out to my friend Barry who is the editor of the local paper to let him know as this is a feel good local story that would bring media attention to SOTK, Key City, Daniel and her photography. I hope he will run a story. I also reached out to Daniel as I know him from Vancouver Island MusicFest and we are Facebook friends. I told him how excited I am that he is coming here and that I will get tickets for Ash and I. The canvas print of this photo is the same one I see through my office door all day.

Once I had made and eaten a delicious dinner, I headed to the Bucks versus Victoria Grizzlies game. It was a really good game lots of excitement and in the end we won! I was tribute night to our local Special Olympians and most enjoyable. I can not say enough how much I love my remote start as I was able to start my car as soon as the game ended to find it warm and comfortable when I got in.

During the game there were several announcements looking for a female. I got home to see a post that it is my friend, Bear’s little sister who ran away. I sure hope they find her soon.

I got home and poured a bath complete with a CBD bath bomb, and watched more episodes of Andor. I feel that Star Wars universe has taught us that there is a traitor, for good or bad in every group. Gosh, I hope that is not actually true. I am enjoying the series so far.

I should get to sleep as tomorrow I can sleep with no alarm, tis true, but my fresh bed is calling and I work at Arby’s for the evening. Rae-Anne and I discussed that these next three shifts should have me fully trained and ready to cover any shifts that come up in the future. That is what she really needs. I am actually looking forward to testing my mettle without Rae-Anne there.
