05-01-25 Paul Harris Fellow
I will admit that three things were big wins today:, in no particular order:
I was surprised at Rotary lunch by being called up and presented as a Paul Harris Fellow. Paul Harris was the founder of Rotary and I was able to give $1000 US in the Rotary fiscal year which granted me a beautiful award. I didn’t realize it was a big deal until people started congratulating me after. It’s really just a blessing to me to be able to give to something that is making a difference in my community and in the world. I should wear my pin with pride.
The next thing today was completing all my remittances and all, but one of my PST filings in advance of me leaving town, which means I don’t have to worry about anything until one payroll on Monday. This is a major accomplishment.
After work, I headed to Encore and Bill had just arrived. We sat and had an amazing visit about people and his family in our lives when we were married back in the 80s. There were so many questions I had about who had ended up where and it was a really great visit. Roger showed up and I invited him to join my trivia team for the night which was Huy, who was companied by but not playing due to language barriers,his wife, JD, Brett and me! Brett Brought Morgan and Riley as Jill had dinner plans. It was so sweet when Morgan came and asked me if she could call me grandma and I said Nana would work the best and now I am not Marnée to those two girls as well. I love being a significant figure in my friends lives. It is a legacy of the friends I’ve had that moved away. Brett and I have decided that we rock at trivia and it is pure joy for us to play . Our team kicked butt tonight. We only got seven wrong out of 80 and took first place so that each of us got to take home $32. It was only sad because they were so a few teams there and we did so well. The money would’ve been more on a regular night.
All in all, it was a very good day and I now feel confident that I can go away and we’ll get the things done that need to be done. I stopped at the liquor store on the way home and found two lovely items. One was just for fun because it spoke to me.
The other was recommended by John and it is like eating a Werther‘s original only in liquid form over ice, Shanky’s Whip
