today held so so many great moments: My car started first try. Didn’t go anywhere but hope it will do the same for work tomorrow. My Uncle Bryan picked me as his phone a person per day person and we had a lovely chat. He and Auntie Lynne really have developed quite a life in …
I did get a few things done to day. I finished installing my bypass doors in kitchen, did some tidying and Sean come over and jump my car. I then drove to Marysville and back to charge it. I think the battery just couldn’t handle the cold but it also had some weird corrosion so …
It was 3 pm when I decided there was no point getting dressed. I spent the entire day doing puzzles and watching TV. I watched the newest episode of WandaVision which just keeps getting better. The next up was the Star Wars Holiday Special done in Lego which was super cute. And then for the …
I had a tough start to the morning. I put lipstick on my eyelid thinking it was shadow. It was the texture that made me realize before I put it on the next one. It stung for a bit but I headed out to my car which I thought I had started to warm up. …
Needed to write a cheque today. Found an original book of them from my Salt Spring Island days. I forgot all about how cute they were. My name has the accent backwards and it is hard to imagine there was a time we put our email address on them. Oh, bother. I was very fortunate …
Minus 25 this morning but I was looking fine in my necklace from Emmy. It put a spring in my step. Rae-Anne showed up for a good long coffee and chat in my office and brought beautiful flowers. My new pots arrived and they are even better quality than I hoped. Finally had my on …
Up at 6 to send Jake on his way home. Sad but so glad to see the positive changes in his life. Got on the treadmill and then on with my day. Found a necklace on my bed and a text to Danika assured me that Emmy had wanted me to have it. An old …
On January 21st I had a very short messenger conversation with my friends Elaine and Barry on Salt Spring Island. It should have been longer but I was busy and intended to take more next time. Today I saw a RIP post on Facebook and was horrified. I immediately continued that private message about hearing …
Starting one’s day off at 6:06 am on a Sunday is not always my favourite but when you open your eyes to a granddaughter snuggling in with you, all is right with the world. It has been a long time since I have had snuggles and Emmy is just a treat. I can honestly say, …
I let everything go for too long and today was the day I got a handle on it. There’s not much to tell. The pictures of before and after say it all. I have alluded to the fact I looked like a hoarder but it is really a sign of my state of mind. I …
I didn’t have a great sleep but got up and on the treadmill. I am glad it is Friday. I dropped off the coffee maker and grinder at Ashlée’s and then popped in to the Honda dealership to make arrangements to have my car looked at for a few oddities. I will bring it in …
I decided that after filing subsidies yesterday, today would be a good day to reconcile and file T4s. I did 9 companies worth by the day’s end as well as a bunch of other things. I like doing them, working past the stress and triple checking everything. Little happy dances all day long. It also …
I am enjoying my routine of this week. Treadmill , shower, off to the office, work quietly and steadfastly at many tasks, return home to catch up with a loved one or friend, make a nice meal, do a few chores and then settle in with tea or bubbly water and watch my shows. The …
Day two of treadmill and no alcohol. A good and crazy multi-purpose day included the best chocolates from one of my young clients who knew I was sad yesterday and thought they might help. How truly old school and lovely of him. And it worked! I also finally received the two pair of shoes I …
Today is day one of Dry Feb and honestly, it’s not a problem. I will need to keep in the habits I restarted again today. I got up at 6:30 and walked on my treadmill for 1.5 episodes of WandaVision. I really like it so far. It is quirky and reminiscent of the Lucille Ball …
How has the first month of 2021 come and gone already?! of course this signifies that tomorrow I go Dry. I have decided to raise funds for Cancer Research and signed up to go dry(ish) for February which means I committed to 21 days alcohol free in the month. My son Jake is coming to …
I was up fairly early, rearranging things and organizing more of the kitchen. Missy did not want to go out in the snow at first. I had forgotten about the time change so the service was actually at noon my time. I contacted Mom and she couldn’t get connected at first so I set up …
I ran a few errands before work. First stop was to drop off a bunch of interior design books to Diane. She was very happy with them. Next stop was to pick up my newest Scentsy from my cousin Becky. I saw it in our Duck Fan group and asked if she could get it …
I heard from Jackie’s son, Reid that the outbreak is over at her care home and that he will get to see her on Monday. That is the best news ever. For some reason she was gifted a ‘light’ case of Covid and seems fine. I am so grateful. I went to physio first thing …
