12-16-22 Packed full of fun day
i was well awake before my alarm, opened my advent and wondered if I should learn to shade at this age…
Headed in early and just soaked up the blessings. The lovely Keri, in one of my favourite movie sweaters, spoiled me with a Mandalorian set for my kitchen.
The mail arrived and there was an awesome card from Mark and Mary Lynn on Salt Spring Island (sealed with a kiss) that held a gift card to my favourite pub there. If that isn’t saying I am missed and need to visit soon, I don’t know what is. Hard to believe I haven’t been there since 2019. I need to visit my family and friends soon.
Received scans from a client that actually made me snort coffee out my nose, and there was special whiskey in it…
Enjoyed a ‘staff meeting’ at 3 that involved great catering and a drink as well as hilarious TikTok attempts by the others. No photos on my part to protect the ‘innocent’
And while we were enjoying ourselves my parcel from wag jag was delivered. I had ordered one Box each of N95 and regular disposable masks for future travels but apparently they really thought I should be protected and I am now the proud owner of hundreds of masks. I hope that’s not a sign!
After work I popped home for a wee break before heading to Key City Theatre to volunteer bartend for the Pretty For The People Christmas concert. I am thrilled to call many of the people on stage tonight friends as they were incredible. Cranbrook is overflowing with talent. I was able to hear the first half and watch the second. I took the liberty of filming a few songs but the single most spectacular part I didn’t film as I was so caught up in the moment. Ward Morton, the drummer was joined by a young Ethan Sawatsky and they did the Little Drummer Boy in unison, rock style. It was flipping unbelievable. What a treat. I will share the links to what I uploaded on Youtube. Sarah Turk has a phenomenal voice. I would actually love to see her on The Voice.
I drove Rae-Anne and her friends home and stopped for a scotch. Vanessa had been to the states to see family and brought me back a bag of bugles for my nuts and bolts. A simple gesture that is huge!! Gene came up behind me in the kitchen and said “Nana, did you lose weight, you look great” Gotta say, that was the icing on the cake for this great day.
The only negative was the pain and tingling I am experiencing in my right arm and the nerve twinges in my left shoulder. I am going to have to make an appointment to check it out as I have been ignoring it… or I will just wait it out and hope it goes away soon. Must have options lol
