Today was full as always, waking up and at my desk before 7 again. My client, Steven, came to drop things on his way through from Fruitvale, my daughter Ashlée and I made a trip to the bank together to cash a cheque that I didn’t need to be there for after all and I …
I made it home after 9 tonight, and a good indicator of my tired soul is that I burst into tears when I opened the fridge to see last nights leftovers i had forgotten about. Rice Pilaf with Tuna was exactly what I needed. I am stuffed up like a cold is trying to settle …
I awoke after a decent sleep to a beautiful morning and a mama Doe in the yard with a couple of naughty kids. I watched one being annoyed and butting the other away and then realized I should film. I just became entranced watching them eat all the Willow leaves. Mom left them there and …
I crawled out of bed and threw on long johns, flannel and a hat and gloves to go out and start a fire and get set up for my ABC Zoom session. It was incredibly gorgeous out and -10 Celsius or 14 F. I really enjoyed catching up with everyone who could make it. Do …
By the time I walked out to my car the snow had begun, when I returned from work it had ended and there was an icy crust over everything. Today was filled with stressful deadlines and encouraging texts and email. Seems word is out that I am freelancing… I need to be careful not to …
As shit gets real and others are not even attempting to see the big picture, as communication once again fails, as life moves on and the river flows (or circles as a character i once knew would say), I need to remember to rise above. I grew up with that, Roger Whittaker was often heard …
I have such a work load that I am waking up at 5 thinking about client’s books which then leads me to get up and get to the office before 7. May as well be getting it done rather than laying around stewing about it . I did over a 10 hour day when all …
Whether at work or play, along the way, through the years I have had the gift of meeting incredible, regular human beings. They live their lives not expecting to leave an impression on your soul. Kevin and Julie Porter and their two sons are a family that were clients of the firm I worked for …
Today was honestly the second time i have picked out countertop via media rather than in person. Porter-Hill Countertops in Surrey BC are my go to . Not only do they do great work but Kevin and Julie are delightful human beings. I send them my measurements, photos of the surrounding colours and Julie suggests …
Running to the altar like a track star Body like a back road, i know every curve like the back of my hand If the world was ending, you’d come over, right? Is there anyone out there, its getting harder and harder to breathe Picture perfect, you don’t need no filter You’re my motorcycle mama …
Rae picked me up and dropped me at the office so I could get ahead of things for the busy week ahead. I was there for 5.5 hours and probably could have kept going, it was so satisfying to just work uninterrupted and get payroll and reconciling done. Jake picked me up and brought me …
Hi my name is Marnée… I am an addict… I seem to need to fill a need when I see it. I was filled in a while ago by my friend Maureen about the upcoming Board meeting for the Fisher Peak Performing Artists Society. I enjoy what they do and feel I have skills that …
It sits, not so much on my shoulder but somewhere inside, maybe on a kidney, pushing down. I hobble along carrying the extra load, barely aware.. and then I become aware. I first notice the quiet in my responses, the effect on my sleep, the weird dreams. I awake sure I sold my car since …
Keri drove me again today including going to pick up pictures I ordered last night for Jake and me. Cranbrook Photo has a great site where you upload and order your photos, receiving an email when they are ready for pickup. I was thrilled that my order had arrived for a new Bluetooth keyboard case …
Today was ordinary in a perfect way. Keri from down the hall at work chauffeured me, I was able to nose down and get a lot done on Firm clients which I am being extra careful to leave set up for who ever takes over. This is in spite of the fact that there are …
Jake picked me up around 10 and we went in to my office. I got quite a bit done and after he finished his work he took off to take some photos at Norbury Lake. He returned just in time for me to have finished a file and to meet the rest of the Family …
I made an art installation to send to Zoë. Sean and Aiden came and took away the last of my tree pruning branches and dropped me at their house to cook my pumpkin. Diane and I made a run to Safeway and I was quite surprised how many weren’t wearing masks. puréed the pumpkin and …
friday night I was called by the company I occasionally do mystery shopping for and they had an urgent need to cover some jobs in Creston (an hour away), one of which had to be done by someone between 55 & 65. I accepted and then spent Saturday morning trying to recruit someone to drive …
I am tuckered out. I had a full and lovely day and I promise to record details in the morning
