Today was me caught between all my obligations. It wasn’t stressful, I was just aware that I did not earn much no matter how much I accomplished. I took care of all pressing needs and just pin-balled through the day. There were so many amazing moments that I was grateful to take from; good deep …
Today is Remembrance Day in Canada and the US. I honour the sacrifices of the ancestors and those who this day are protecting and serving. There was a time in my life I felt I would go military but realized soon that my personality would probably not suit that endeavor. I doubt I would survive …
I meant to post this last night. Have you figured out I love trains?
Today felt a little all over the place but also full of promise. Viola and I popped out to Staples when I got the email that my scanner had arrived. On the way back we stopped at Safeway and I dropped a plant and M&Ms to Rae who was having a bad day. Later I …
It was a low key day of good work, good food and taking care of my throat. My new chair arrived and it takes a little to figure out where it is the most comfortable. It goes very well with my lamp and keyboard. Thank you to RM Office for the good deal and delivery! …
I got up at a decent time with great plans for the day. I read my messages to see Diane had found a stainless steel range hood for sale for only $10. I contacted the seller and went to pick it up. It looks in great shape and is the same type I installed in …
Slept with no alarm which is always my favourite. Stayed laying in bed and listened to the news about the still undecided election. Made a meme and posted it just before hearing it had been decided and Biden is the new President of the United States. My throat is sore today, I suspect I ate …
Didn’t rest well, awoke at 5. stayed in bed until my alarm at 7:30 thinking about the previous evening and the day to come. Keri picked me up and brought me to work where I set up my office which the things I had gotten at Staples. I love my new Keyboard. The chair should …
I had a great day at the office. There was so much caring and everyone wearing masks. The coffee cart situation has been addressed and I feel like people are giving everything so much more importance than they did previously. We even took a fun picture together in our custom PPE. I really felt like …
Dead senator That, to me, defines the state of mind of the nation to the south of us. I squirm when I hear the news at how close the election is. It seems the standard for the Greatest Nation on Earth has created a very low bar. I know so many fine American folks and …
Today didn’t involve earning much money but I got a lot done prepping to do so. had to finish getting access to PST and GST and ROE and received a new signed contract with an interesting new business. I think the manager of the space I work in may be getting frustrated with me as …
This was a special Monday. It was the day I began charging out on my own terms, no longer contracted to anyone who isn’t the person I am doing the work for. No more middle women or men, just clients whom I like and like me and what I do. It was a long tiring …
Changed the clocks, did some laundry, checked in with friends. Lots of changes going on in my circle. I want to be supportive, am working to refill my tank so I can be. One of the ways I can remove stress is to get things off my list. As the Tech Director for the community …
Of course I had the terrible interrupted sleep of alcohol. That combined with residual stress from October had me annoyed at being up early. I simply made some coffee, searched and found the sunglasses I’d promised Aiden and settled on the couch to watch mindless tv for a while. Leyton showed up to help me …
Friends stepped up to get me through this day. there were tears and drama and fun and food and done, just done…. It was my last official day working for the firm and things did not go as smoothly as they could have. I got through the tears, anger and disappointment thanks to Keri, Layla, …
Today was so much less stressful. Got a lot done in my allotted time even with odd interruptions. I was watching the front desk of the co-working space as Cindy was away and Sean had to go for a meeting. The first people to arrive after he left were the people he was meeting with …
I filed my last mandatory government filing for the month tonight. I caught a big mistake I had made in time to fix it thankfully. And it was in the client’s favour which is even better. A good part of my day was taken up with client’s old and new. I look forward to having …
Today was full as always, waking up and at my desk before 7 again. My client, Steven, came to drop things on his way through from Fruitvale, my daughter Ashlée and I made a trip to the bank together to cash a cheque that I didn’t need to be there for after all and I …
