Arrived at work to find my daughter Rae-Anne just walking out and we had a great parking lot visit on a stunningly gorgeous Autumn morning. Seems she had dropped off flowers! I will admit that flowers are part of my love language. I had a husband once upon a time Who wouldn’t buy me flowers …
Headed out to jump in my car this morning and found the deer had partaken of the salad bar I provided. Rise buds, sweet peas, hydrangeas, sun flowers, dahlias, etc etc, all gone. The joy in the day was getting a parcel from Amazon and transplanting my wee spider plant in the office. And then …
I had secured the services of a young local man to help me put away my pool and mow my lawn as he was trying to raise money to buy a bike. at the 11th hour or there abouts last night I received a message he was running a fever and wouldn’t be able to …
I was on Lake Titicaca with an amazing group of human beings whom I still call friends to this day. Nigel put together a slideshow and with credit to him but no permissions I am sharing it. I remember being amazed that Bolivia was across the water My day here in the northern hemisphere was …
A day of satisfying reconciling, lunch out with the crew at Firehall, meeting about future board issues, making lists and getting to the theatre for opening night. I am tired now so my communication will be short but suffice to say much was accomplished and I am happy to support the actors who left their …
Awoke to a beautiful thank you shout out from the show director. To work early, nose to the grindstone. I finally got what needed to be accomplished done in time for the deadline and then felt like falling into a hammock. Instead I went and did some errands and then headed to the Campbells as …
Another 14 hour day. I’m not the only one. It’s the world of community theatre, we volunteer our lives for art. And as a tech person, for other people’s glory. But tonight I am tired. Apparently this has been a busy month as I only noticed this today I finally hung my picture, I committed …
I worked a crazy long, eat between keystrokes kind of day and was stressed but grateful when it was time to race home, feed George And get to the theatre for final dress rehearsal. as I went to turn off my scentsy light I decided to empty the wax so there was room For a …
Today was just a normal intense work day for me. I admired all the beautifying things in my garden before they are gone. After work I came home for a relax, watched Ellen while eating some shrimp. Don’t want to eat or drink too much before heading to the show got myself to the theatre …
This morning came with weird weather, on the edge of a storm. I did laundry and lounged awaiting time to go to the cue to cue rehearsal at the theatre. I have mixed feelings about it because I’m excited to be a part of theater again and also worried about the sound part of it …
Picked up Aiden and headed down to the theater as today was tech day to get the lights hung and figured out. I will confess to you being very nervous about what the atmosphere was going to be like given the past week of turmoil but it turned out to be one of the best …
Today was a step or two forward and then a step or three back. I dropped my duvet off at the laundry place I’d bought a coupon for, worked a bit and then had a lovely lunch at The Cottage restaurant with a friend. When I returned my system wouldn’t hook back up to my …
Didn’t make it onto the treadmill this morning but I sure got my mental work out over the course of the day. Took some time to sit and knit this morning and ground myself before I left and on my way to the car enjoyed my garden, finding one little sweet pea in bloom which …
Today I awoke early and got on my treadmill for the first time in months. at the office early, clients called and dropped in asking If i would still be their person. The news must be getting out at the firm that I am cutting ties. It is fulfilling to know I am wanted and …
This day was full of great moments, successes and surprises. I had fun meeting Larry, a guy who bought my Apple Watch for his wife for their anniversary. I didn’t have the original box so I packaged it in tissue in a gift bag, ready for giving. He was so looking forward to surprising her. …
My day(s) is(are) full of much that involve too many other people’s reputations and truths so there isn’t much i can speak of for now. in saying I am trying to tread the thin line that is the high road immediately implies my superior attitude in all situations but really, I just want to live …
Today mostly involved Netflix. I finished Umbrella Academy which I love. Next up was The Social Dilemma which is a terrifying documentary. And finally I am binging Dead To Me. Brilliant actors pulling off a very odd premise. In between episodes I shortened some curtains for Ashlée, fixed some jeans for Roger, picked up a …
I picked up Aiden before 8 and we headed to the theatre for a lighting workshop. Kris Aasen has the experience and was brought down from Edmonton to teach us. Thanks to a Christie Lights donation he brought a second board so we could let everyone have opportunity to be hands on. There was a …
I awoke remembering a morning 19 years ago. My alarm had gone off but there was momentary radio silence and then the DJ said something about one of the twin towers being hit by a plane and that it had just collapsed. I honestly thought it was a joke but jumped out of bed to …
