02-23-25 Glitter Bombing
I got myself together this morning put on the matching boot to the one I’ve been wearing for two months and headed out to get my car started. Having two boots the same on was so comfortable for my back, so comfortable for my foot, just so great. I was super cautious still as my driveway and more so my sidewalk are very very heaved this year, more than ever since I’ve lived here, I know that Cranbrook is built on a bog , but this is ridiculous. I googled how to get into my car had a little struggle with it, but finally did and laughed when I set off all the alarms and finally a message came on the dash telling me to hold my fob up to the start button before I pushed it and now it starts and tomorrow I plan to drive it to work in the morning
For the second time, my HelloFresh box had arrived frozen so when I went to make my bacon and corn chowder today which involved a potato being cut up, it was black and gross so I used one of the cartons of hashbrowns that I get from Costco and added it to the chowder And it was so thick and good and delicious that I would want to do that all the time 
I was picked up just before three to go help the Rotary ladies make decorations for the gala towards the end of April. It feels really early to me, but I was really happy to be there. MaryAnn is arranging it., Lallah, Cindy, Nadine, Nancy, Judy, Maureen and I all worked on getting the creative energy flowing and we made a huge mess as it seemed like everything we did involve dropping glitter everywhere. The theme for the gala is the big easy so we were working on classy New Orleans decor. I think we did a good job and it was interesting for me to listen. Try to read the room but also see the big picture of how things would look in the space and bring my artistic flare to it. I think this centrepieces that Cindy and I worked on turned out very nice.
I am super emotional tonight and I think that a lot of that might be just the anticipation of driving tomorrow. I hope it all goes well and that I can last the day with two boots on because I have actually taken the step to even put my crutches and air cast in the back of my closet where they belong. One small step for Marnée, one giant leap for Marnée-kind
