My sunflower versus my work neighbour’s… Pop up mall was back and Sean, CFEK general manager bought coffee. A great moment in the sun with co-working space friends. It was a jump from one thing to the other day, paid and volunteer moments that included a visit from both Rae-Anne and Maureen. A client stopped …
It really is quite interesting that the only sunflower in my yard flowering is the one in the bag of dirt, the rest being tall but still green. A fun day happened at work with 4 local businesses setting up a pop-up mall in the Ground Floor parking lot. There was a barista, a barber, …
I was left with so many thoughts about the two conversations I had with two very dear friends. I had been asked by Maureen to put together a wish list of gear for the community theatre and I reached out to Doug Cox for advice. His experience as Artistic Director of Vancouver Island MusicFest, professional …
If I stop to dwell on this mission to blog I become overwhelmed with all the little issues. I try not to go back and reread. The temptation to edit is too great, even to fix the spelling and grammar changes the meaning of the moment. To not go back also leaves me wondering how …
I had raggedy sleep last night. No alarm though due to the Labour Day long weekend. I spent the morning researching and ordering a tech item to create a special effect for the upcoming show. Although I think Aiden and I created something wonderful with what we had available, it seems the Directors want more …
Awoke at a decent time, had a coffee and was about to head out to build my gate for the back side of the trailer when I ran into a doe in the yard. . This of course motivated me to get working on my gate even more. I got as much done as I …
I spent the morning researching and preparing lighting design ideas for the show Almost, Maine. I came up with some ideas that give me relief. I also reached out to my old friend, Marv on Salt Spring for suggestions. Next thing I strapped my lawn chair to my bike, brought a water bottle and snack …
Hopped on the bike and rode into the sunrise. had a very productive day and finished it off with dinner at friends. It feels like everything is getting back to normal after the chaos of the week. A year ago I was in Brighton Beach walking in the English Channel and spending time with my …
The little square on my paper calendar and the list on my phone was full with Dentist for cleaning, Tech meeting for upcoming show and strata council meeting. I brought Aiden with me to the tech meeting as I think he would be great as a theatre volunteer and it will be a good college …
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 …
