04-06-23 Compartmentalizing
Today was super productive and relatively calm. I took time to go for lunch with a client who I am quickly coming to call friend. I met her at Family Thai and we spent over an hour discussing her business and life and she really appreciates my guidance and opinion on things. There is a deep satisfaction in that and I can’t truly explain how much it means to me. She respects me and wants to spend more time lunching and talking. She is about to take her business to the next level and I am excited to be a part of it. Back at the office I focused on getting the ‘ugly’ things off my list so I can get on with this busy month more easily.
I did take time to send material out for the show I am promoting to my friend at the radio station and the marketing person for my main sponsor. A few more tickets have sold so I am hopeful for a good house.
I went to Mom’s complex around 6 to move her car back to her permanent parking spot. Thankfully it is within sight of her apartment. I grabbed her mail and went to visit her. The nurses had good news that physio is off for the next four days but have encouraged her to use her walker often as long as someone is following along with a wheelchair just in case. That is a big improvement. I did ask for the results of her biopsy and it is concerning but I am going to put the thoughts into a little locked box in my brain until I can talk to the Dr next week. It was weird to not even have to put on a mask at the home today as the mandates were removed provincially. A big leap from every 48 hour testing. Apparently you don’t even have to be vaccinated to visit there any more.
I came home knowing I should reach out with a Mom report, check on my sick friends, etc but what I really needed was a no people period of time. I watched my shows and did a whole puzzle and just relaxed. I have plans to do more of the same tomorrow as there are going to be 23 of us for Easter Hunt and dinner on Saturday. I have much to prep! I am glad Emmy can come and spend time with her cousins though.
