Honestly, I can’t believe this was a Monday. I enjoyed all the things I attempted today. I feel as though I am being supported and encouraged in this new direction. I really do believe the people I am working for and with appreciate what I bring to the table and are open to thinking outside …
I awoke to a gentle lick on the back of my hand that was hanging out of the covers and I knew instantly that Layla needed to go out. The shocking part was that the boys were still sleeping! 10.5 and 13 and still asleep at 8 am was a shock! I usually have to …
This morning was pretty laid back until I had a visit from the wine fairy. For some time now I have been subscribed to nakedwines.com and shipping to my son-in-law, Ken who lives in Kalispell until they get him status here in canada. Unfortunately, due to Covid I cancelled my contract as I had two …
It has been… interesting these first three days of my new schedule. I am used to the 8-4:30 minimum, living in 6 minute increments to get in my 8 hours to earn my pay. The song 9-5 hits home for a lot of people. I am still too aware of the time, feel stressed if …
I need a day off. I have been doing too many things, not making much time to just rest. It is a habit I fall into quickly when self-employed. This will change, I will settle in. Today did end up with a lot going on though especially in the wake of isolation. Date book: Run …
Canada Day has always been a family day for me. For years it was spent with my Dad and then my brother with friends and family on the water watching the fireworks most often in Ganges Harbour off Salt Spring Island. Moving to Bella Bella made the day more stressful as colonialism split the ranks. …
This will be short and sweet as I am very tired. I will likely wax poetic tomorrow. – up and at the desk, confirming what time off I have left. Need to put in 2.5 hrs. – The Campbell’s drop off Layla as they are heading to Alberta for vacation. we hit it off, she …
I can often tell how busy my day was with ordinary sorts of things by the decided lasck of photos. Today, the only pic I took was to identify a weevil with my bug app. Pretty exciting, right? Actually, I wasn’t far into my day when I received a distress call and rushed to my …
Awoke this morning to Tickle Me Elmo laughing his fool head off. The Grands aged 5 and 8 find him hilarious. They came and snuggled while watching a little Netflix and then we had breakfast and played Little Big Planet. Sawyer has really improved and it is so much more fun with three players. There …
Spent the better part of my day completing the installation of my clothesline. I uninstalled a section of the porch railing and mostly installed the new swinging gate which works brilliantly and allows me to access the line easily. I then hung clothes!! Next I put together the trellis arch and gate for the front …
As I had amassed vacation and banked time and realize most of it will go to the tax man, I have been using it up as I approach my last days of work on the firm payroll. This morning I took care of my obligations, made plans for Monday and then took the better part …
Home made red wine. I know better. Stick with top shelf on the rocks but no… At risk of oversharing as a Chatty Cathie I will once again keep it short. I have much to be grateful for today as I met with a firm client at the office and trained her in QB online, …
I may have gotten down on myself today. I may have done a little inward whining. I may have wished the weather would be different as the barometer hurts my brain. I may have discovered a mistake at work and felt it was the end of the world. I may have been offered a tentative …
I sit down at the end of the night and I think nothing much has really happened, I worked, I did a few chores, I watched TV. It’s not true though. When I review my photos for the day I see that Josh, the new manny showed up with 5 kids in tow and they …
The most I can say about today is that it was the opposite of yesterday. Where there was torrential rain, there now was heavy heat. I kept taking breaks from work to get outside in the breeze if I could find it. Diane and tag-a -longs came with the pick-up truck to help take my …
My machine worked last night which was a blessing. I still woke up early but made myself go back to sleep. My plan for the day was to be sure the pool was full and good and cover it, and install my clothesline pole that I had ordered through Home Depot. I bought the clothesline …
I let Gene sleep in until his Pere (what they call their Granddad) arrived with the tools we needed for the day. While he was outside being sure how everything worked I heard ‘Are you okay??’ and went rushing out to see what had happened. Bill (Pere, aka my first husband) had tripped over a …
4:04 am I awake with a start as my CPAP machine suddenly cuts out. I can’t seem to focus enough to figure out why, so I cast it aside and eventually fall back asleep. In the morning I read that it says the tube is blocked. It is not but I take it all apart …
I think. I cut the cord officially today and am as of July 1st self-employed again. The day started with a lovely client, Stacy dropping off squash plants, lettuce and rhubarb. I moved the pool off the grass to assess what needs to be done and found my spray nozzle under it! After that I …
