I started my day on my motorcycle taking a swing past the site of the calamity. As I went by I noticed two things that caught my artistic eye so I swung way around the block and pulled into the parking lot next door. There was a barricade and police tape across part of the …
I love my calendar flip today. I do feel like I have an amazing tribe. Monika brought me a beautiful plant and card to congratulate me for making big moves. The CFEK crew brought cake! It turned out to be perfect timing as we were all at odds during a power outage. What a lovely …
My system was gurgling today, indicating stress. It is time to cut the cord and my system knows this will not be easy because I care about my legacy and my clients that are the firms. I slogged through my work day and at the end of it sent an email resignation from our contract …
Dug the holes and installed the last two fence posts. Hot work but less hot than last week. Danika arrived to drop off Emmy just as I was finishing. Emmy played in the pooled and told me stories. A while later Zoë got dropped off and the two became fast friends at first meeting. They …
I wanted to ride the couch and catch up on my shows this morning but I realized I needed to finish my yard work before the sun beat down. I dug up some more sod and transferred it to the bare spots, raked in the rocks, planted my strawberries, mowed the lawn and weeded. I …
Started the day saying goodbye to Julie. She is a good friend that I met when we were both 13 and on a Girl Guide trip to https://www.wagggs.org/es/our-world/world-centres/our-cabana/ what an experience that was! Over the years we have managed to keep a close connection even if there were long gaps in communication. She even drove …
Slogged through the day, got as much done as possible and headed off to my hair appointment at Jagged Edge. Three hours later I felt well pampered, had experienced a great visit with Karissa who I’ve known since she was a graduate with my daughter Rae-Anne and felt more relaxed. It has been since February …
I ran into that imaginary wall today. Got a fair bit done, enjoyed takeout Family Thai order with Julie, Cindy and Madison at the office and then an hour or so later I was done. Kept working but it got harder and I had less patience. Finally we got to the point where we could …
I am so incredibly exhausted that this is going to be short. I’m going to throw up a big bunch of pictures to show you what incredible friends I have that helped me finish off the things that I wanted to do for two years because that is exactly how long I have had my …
There was nearly nothing that went right in the technical aspects of mine or Julie’s world today. This created a strange amount of panic for me. I didn’t get much done that I intended to and was very grateful to get home. We ate, watched an episode of toughest race and headed outside to dig …
Up and at it, spread dirt and seeded areas of my lawn where the pool was last year. Washed the car to get the most of it off then we headed out. First stop was the actual car wash which was only mildly better. Not sure what’s going on with my car’s finish. May have …
Up early, watched a few episodes of Umbrella Academy. Am quite enjoying it. Headed off to Home Depot to trade a few plumbing parts as I plan to finally solve the one of my double sinks won’t drain issue. While there I picked up primer for Diane which nicely traded for two bottles of Moscato …
https://openpsychometrics.org/tests/characters/ This was no surprise to me The list is shorter because I get things done. My problem is taking on too much. The lists just need to be shorter overall. I need to leave work sooner and ride longer. Today was lovely. My lunch from yesterday improved with avocado and feta. I love when …
Today I didn’t get as much billable time as I would have liked but I certainly got a lot done. I received callbacks about my liability insurance and Extended benefits. One was from Westland Insurance who I must say has great personnel working for them and good connections for policies. Did you know they were …
I was nose to the grindstone all day. Diane lured me away from work with a photo of a burger about to go on the grill. I was so tired when I got there it was embarrassing as I was cold and yawning and wan. turns out I was my version of Hangry. After dinner, …
I was reminded when I got home and walked into a wall of heat why exactly I ride a motorcycle to my air conditioned office. I did have great moments in the day including a repurpose of an old Frame, gifting Diane and Zöe with Norwex masks and remembering with a chuckle Will’s comment yesterday: …
The morning started out with a snuggle from William at a decent time because the clock he looked at was an hour early. We settled him in with cheese cake for breakfast and he thinks my voice activated remote for Blue Curve TV is the ultimate in technology. Gene eventually got up for the same. …
3 years ago an event changed the way I feel about many things. My cousin, Kelly, was the victim of a murder suicide by her husband. The biggest thing learned is that people say ‘he would never’ but he might. Protect and help women in danger. It’s up to all of us. After 9 hours …
Woke up way too early, watched more of Umbrella Academy which I’m really enjoying. Started my day off with the monthly ABC Zoom meeting. It was so nice to sit outside and visit with friends in three countries. We always meander through some great conversations and laughs. We always skirt round the possibility of getting …
