05-08-23 19 Years!!
I climbed into a bath with a book this morning. This is something I have never done before work before. I knew the day could be vulnerable for me emotionally so I started off kind to myself. It was a tough start to begin with as I had realized far too late that I forgot my special pillow at the Airbnb in Calgary. It would cost too much to ship it and it is probably time for a new one… but I missed it terribly last night. Once I got myself together I packed all Mom’s treats together and headed to Green Home to drop them off. She was in Physio so I just set up everything for her to enjoy; 2 new spy novels, baby cucumbers, Baby Bell cheese, Green grapes and slippers. Off to the office I went.
The day was so full and so much needed intense concentration. I was especially not happy to get a call from one of my dear client friends that he is in hospital with pancreatitis and we were trying to do his payroll confirmations over the phone. I pray he recovers quickly as he is a fair and successful businessman, one whom I want to see succeed.
I worked on MusicFest things for an hour before heading to see Mom, knowing her dinner would be done. We had a great visit, even getting to see the NHL Draft lottery together. Sadly my Ducks came second so miss out on Bédard who everyone wants. I will have to watch in June for the actual draft to see how it all pans out.
Once I got home, I made a meal from HF and was about to sit down for it when the guy called. I wanted to visit with a good man tonight as is my tradition but I am not sure he got the depth of feeling I was having so I declined his invitation to come over. This was not a booty call night. It has been 19 years tonight since my Dad crashed his float plane and died. Not a year goes by that I don’t wish I could have had more time. The closer I get to his age at death, 64, the more I think I feel it. As I was making my dinner I received a forwarded message via Rae-Anne from Morgan Turner who I had completely forgotten took pics of me on my 60th at the Encore preview night. He happened to send them today, how perfect was that!?! Pics of me, in my Dad’s Willys, on the anniversary of his death… and I love them!!
Dinner was delicious and I love the new cutting board and accessory dishes I scored at Ikea
With my Hello Fresh came tea samples from the UK that profess to be the most popular. I shall leave it up to the besties to weigh in and will try it soon to know how I feel about it
It was nice to come home tonight to the beautiful flowers I bought at Costco and to have enjoyed some at the office.
I had no intention of talking to anyone tonight. I am peopled out and was planning to go to bed early but… here it is nearly midnight and I have been Facebook responding, messaging and FaceTiming. Seems the universe, or my guardian angel Dad, knew what I really needed. Love you all… good night.
