12-11-23 Interesting Gift Day
I was thrilled to arrive at the office and given a Christmas present from Nikki that showed she really listens and knows me. I had mentioned some time previously that I wanted a good soup mug and she hoped I hadn’t gotten one yet. I hadn’t, and I am pretty sure the bottle of Crown that accompanied it would fit nicely in it, lol.

The next strange thing that happened was when Cindy came to tell me that FedEx was here with a very heavy coffee table for me. I had not ordered one so I called Wayfair and they said just to keep it if I wanted or refuse it and it would be returned. I would not be charged so I took it. What a weird and wonderful surprise it turned out to be. A $1600 concrete table…. it weighs 147 lbs so is currently sitting at the office until I figure out what I am going to do with it.


I was blessed when Rae-Anne showed up with Niki and Nesta the previous owners of Arby’s to give me an especially thoughtful gift for my time at Arby’s and help at Encore. Nesta had a special edition Millennium Edition Crown Royal that she gifted to me as well as gift cards to both FireHall and Encore which I am ever so happy to use. It was very thoughtful and I am grateful.

I raced off to Bill and Deanne’s for the annual family photos. It was a bit chaotic but we got some decent ones and, well, this is us.










Next was back to the office to work on payroll before my board meeting at 6. The meeting went well, I previewed the website for the crew and they seem happy with it, phew! We can’t seem to come to a consensus about some things, but we are working on it.
After the meeting, I finished the payroll I was working on as I am going to a client’s tomorrow. And, then I got home around 10. I am having a hard time winding down, but am watching my trash TV and hope to be sleepy soon.
I do love my advent earrings
