Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 21st day of December, 2018.
Woke up to tiny white snow balls covering the ground with more following.
The crunchy ones.
At least it will cover the ice and give us some traction when walking.
We will finally be able to go for walks with no worries of salt or falling on the ice.
YAY, so happy for that.
Our move into our new work space went well.
I am unpacked and received my first phone call at 9:20 a.m. yesterday.
We only work until noon today and then the office is closed to the public until January 3, 2019 (staff goes back on January 2, 2019).
After the office is closed we will have a catered Christmas lunch and then we go home.
I was so pleased to hear that I scored two storage cabinets from our old office.
We had a cherry wood furniture and it will not be used once the building has been renovated so we had an opportunity to bid on pieces that we wanted.
We had these stand up storage cabinets with doors (like an armoire) and five shelves.
Very solidly built.
I got them for a very good price and one of my co-workers is going to bring them home with me after work today.
So grateful for him.
He is one of those guys that gives 365 days a year.
He is kind and funny.
J, picked up one for his wife for their kitchen as well.
Last night I cleaned off the IKEA shelving unit that I had by the back door to ready for the new one.
It will be wonderful to have storage with doors.
Keep dust away.
The IKEA one is in the kitchen.
It works.
The second one will eventually make it from the garage to the basement where it will house all of the jewellery supplies and perhaps some crafting items.
So, so excited for these.
Tonight is going to be a busy night with final preparations for the Christmas party at my house tomorrow night.
Another batch of fudge for the party.
Some laundry.
Charging camera and tablet batteries.
I think we may even squeeze in a walk this evening.
We can always stay up late.
After work and the cabinet is placed – will head to the grocery store for final items.
I am so excited to have the next 11 days off.
Time to relax, have fun, rejuvenate and enjoy.
Well almost time to leave for work.
Grateful to have another ride today and grateful to be employed.
I am grateful for this life, I call “mine.”
Grateful for all of the people who have entered and exited my life.
Grateful for the kind words and for the lesser ones.
Grateful for the wind and the rain.
Grateful for the sun and the snow.
Grateful for all the creatures that have crossed my path.
Grateful for me, Alvin.
So grateful for YOU.
Day of a gratitude.
Thank you.
Special Hello to: all those folks who take the time out of their busy schedules to read my blog, means a lot to me.
Wishing you all a wonderful day.
Always, Carol & Alvin
