04-30-23 So long April
I had a decent sleep and tried to arrange help to clear out my yard and get ready for summer but it was felt the smoke from the prescribed burns was too strong. So, I made a manicure appointment instead. I went an hour early so I could shop for proper fitting shorts. I seem stuck between the booty and old lady walking shorts this season. I was super unimpressed with the service I did not receive at several stores and finally just picked up a couple cute sundresses on sale and headed for my appointment. I had a lovely visit while having my nails done and made a temporary plan to go on adventures together. He has been in town from Ontario for a year now and finds it hard to make friends. Sounds like some future fun for sure. I wandered down the mall and stopped in at Telus to see about updating my phone. They have a buyback program now which is basically leasing a phone for two years with free upgrades. I now gave an iPhone 14 Pro and will sell my 12 Pro. It unfortunately took 2 hours to make it happen as the new phone had to be updated first. The sales agent was very lovely and we had good talks and laughs. I now know way more about her than I should but when you make a connect, you make a connection. I laughed when I realized all the employees were hanging around me and I went across the aisle to Shoppers and bought some chips to share as I was getting hangry. While I was in the mall I also bought 315 toys for the Fish Pond at Kootenay Children’s Festival for less than $.77 each at Showcase as their deal at the moment was buy 3 of anything in the store and get 1 free. I bought a bunch of mystery fidget toys. We already had a bunch but this will top up the need. Upon leaving the mall, I headed to drop the toys off at Monica and Galens and ended up having a most lovely visit. Their home is exactly what I would love to have with a stunning view of the mountains from the balcony off their bedroom and a cozy private porch off the back. It was so nice to just visit, not talk business etc, but get to know each other better. They have (had) an interesting life and are just super kind loving people. Once I got home I made a good dinner and then settled down to make sure my new phone is set up properly. I do love it’s rich purple colour and my pretty new case and pop socket.
