12-02-23 An Unplanned Perfect Day
Ok, so I was so intoxicated last night, due to red wine, that I didn’t use my CPAP. I just fell into bed before 10 and woke up at 4:40! I tried to go back to sleep but still hadn’t clicked that I wasn’t using my machine and that it was likely the reason that I had a headache. I took Tylenol and more water and slept for a bit longer. Once I woke up, I made a plan to check out what events were going on in the area. It turns out that the snow was coming down heavy. Danika messaged to see if I wanted some Emmy time and it was then that I remembered I had left my car at the restaurant last night. I reached out to Diane, who had done the same and they said that they would pick me up. I retrieved may car, picked up Emmy and we headed to pick up Donna in Marysville on our way to check out the markets in Kimberley. The good and bad was that we had to follow a snow plow all the way. The road was clear but the plow created white outs in a few spots. We got there safely and headed to check out the Francophone school market in Meadowbrook, the markets at The Elks club, Centre 64 and at Bohemian Spirits. I picked up a few pairs of cute earrings, and mostly bought things that kids had made to support them. Emmy made some awesome purchases with her money. I was so thrilled to have such a good visit with her. I finally stopped in to Mountain and Pestle, my clients who opened a lovely pharmacy. I stopped at Earth’s Own Naturals, my other client, to pick up some CBD bath bombs, a beverage and some sleep aids. We then had a delicious lunch at Our Place in the Platzl before I popped in to Grist and Mash, my clients as well, where I stocked up on my favourite Maple Porter. Emmy slept all the way back to Cranbrook which was good as she was going to a Christmas party tonight and needed to rest up. I was surprised when Gwen came over and asked to be lifted up. When I had arrived earlier she called out NANA for the first time. It is so great to have the bonus grands. I popped home and shoveled before heading to my luxury pedicure appointment that I was lucky to get at the last moment. When that two hours was over, I dropped in to Encore to purchase tree decorations. For $10 you can feed two people Christmas dinner. Best $20 I spent all day. I stayed for a beverage and them James showed up and we played 5 games of pool. I held my own and came out the ultimate winner when he sewered on the 8 ball. It was fun and a perfect ending to the day. I did have a good visit with a friend and his service dog as well, hugging out the PTSD.
Once I was home, I puzzled a bit and then decided it was time to tuck in early and get a good rest.
