Today had so many good things that it would be hard to pick my favourite. I started with a lovely message from my Mrs. H in Kent. A good day always starts that way! I dropped off a gift for my friend Diana’s birthday and she also happens to be my granddaughter’s daycare provider. As …
I heard a knock on the door and there was masked up Lukas here to pick up his uncle Jake’s Christmas presents to go in the box Ashlée and Rae were putting together to mail today. Lukas was very happy to get to see the cat first. She peeked around a corner at him. I …
I opened my advents and found another great decoration and deodorant. That reminds me of my cousins in Crescent Beach who always got toiletries in their stockings. 9 am was my appointment with the Ear Nose and Throat specialist. It began with a hearing test and the tech remembered me from last time a couple …
A day late but I lingered in bed with a coffee and watched the Mandalorian before getting busy working on my kitchen. I found some of the tiles not sticking well and a bit crooked so I redid them. When I moved one of the outlets it sparked at me and I had already had …
9 months have gone by since we became fully aware of Covid-19 and isolations and shutdowns began. 9 months, enough time to grow a human. That really puts things in perspective. I had a lot of time to think about things today. And nothing made me sad. That is a great thing. I woke to …
I got to work with a lovely lady today and that started my day off great. Well, That and my advents as always. It was also Fabulous and Festive Friday so of course I had to wear my favourite seasonal sweater. There was still a lot of moving and settling going on in the space …
Got fun stuff in my advents again today. The Nightmare Before Christmas tree is really getting decorated now. Unlike my actual tree. Seems that the chaos I am living in right now has stalled me on getting much more done. I walked in the door and felt like I was in an opening episode of …
I was awoken by strong meows at 5:55 am. I am unsure still why Missy meows but I am pretty sure it is just her missing her previous bond. She seems to be settling in well though although I still haven’t found her spot. When I get home after work it takes her a while …
Things have not always been tight between my middle child and me. Then, one year she agreed to come to MusicFest and be my right hand. That was an amazing turning point when it comes to the two of us accomplishing things. The problem is that we sometimes forget that we can get so much …
I saw a picture of a cat needing a home on Facebook yesterday and private messaged that I was interested. Late morning today I got a call from the owner. After a chat she decided I was the one who should have her baby. 6 years ago a kitten was found in a box freezing …
I was up too early as typical right now. Watched a little TV and got a call from a client around 10. Was polite and solved the problem but wished people were more boundary aware. It did get me up and going though which was a good thing. I went to meet Rae-Anne and we …
Awake too early again so I enjoyed The Mandalorian and the started cleaning and doing laundry. Got my Roomba working again and called The Brick to check in on my appliances. Lisa called me back from her cell phone to let me now there is still no shipping information for the stove and dishwasher. The …
4th of the month and I have three cards already. This is the month I love going to the mailbox. One from extended step-family in England, one from dear friends who live in the west Kootenay whom I met on Salt Spring Island and one from my best friend from grade 1-3. What a cool …
I got the pleasure of hearing the voice of a dear friend today. I had a PST question and reached out. She was busy and by the time she called back I had dealt with it through Service BC but I was so glad to hear my dear Cresslynn’s voice. She is the Production Manager, …
I went in early this morning to record a story for the Christmas series that is being co-sponsored by Cranbrook Dodge and Cranbrook Community Theatre. Every night at 6pm mountain time from the 1st to the 24th someone will read a story for kids. I read one of my pop-up books today and it ended …
An extremely satisfying day. I Dressed for December best and spouted platitudes about “if you can’t sparkle inside, be sparkling outside”. I met with a few people in masked opposition and got things in order. It was a big payroll day and huge launches for Community Theatre. We are doing bedtime stories for kids starting …
I spent time before work wiping down the outside of the bottles, using Goo Gone to get the rest of the label stickiness off. Got to the office around 9 and organized the to do list for the day. Immediately it was thrown off by a call from the Culligan Man. James wanted to come …
More stuff off the list today! Ripped off all the faux brick paneling in the kitchen, replaced the white range hood with the stainless one I bought for $10 and washed down the walls ready for the new countertops that are supposed to show up tomorrow. There were several layers of finish through the years. …
with gratitude to Shawn Mendes: Help me, it’s like the walls are caving inSometimes I feel like giving upBut I just can’tIt isn’t in my bloodLaying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothingI’m overwhelmed and insecure, give me somethingI could take to ease my mind slowlyJust have a drink and you’ll feel betterJust take her home …
