Good Tuesday Morning,
Another night without Alvin.
I know he is okay with the kids but I miss him.
It is good for us to be apart once in awhile.
We will appreciate each other all the more upon his return on Sunday.
Through some conversations and reflections, I believe that I have been causing Alvin anxiety since I have been home.
So I am going to try my very best not to let my job get under my skin.
I think that likely a lot of us are feeling this way now.
No matter if you like or love or don’t fancy your job …. we are all experiencing some form of stress or anxiety now.
I will say that our in person team meeting last Thursday helped us all.
We or most of us LOVE working from home and I would like to remain working from home until I retire.
So whatever I can do to make this be a positive experience for both me and Alvin, I am going to do.
My daughter stopped by yesterday on my lunch break to pick up the groceries that “we” forgot to pack into the car after the birthday party on Saturday.
She says that Alvin sleeps through the night until they get up in the morning and he has been doing great.
This is good for both of us.
Although I have never minded being alone …. I will say that the house is empty without the boy.
He is a force that is for sure.
Tuesday already and I have some things that I wanted to do this week so I guess I had better get the show on the road.
Tonight my girl friends are coming over and we are going to work on our “diamond paintings.”
It will nice to have them over.
I have some yard work to do.
When I opened the blinds in our bedroom this morning I saw that the sidewalks were wet.
I was not expecting rain.
The patio furniture still has the cushions out as I had not put them away.
Oh well.
I left the kitchen window open.
Luckily it was not a hard rain or coming in on an angle.
A nice rain is okay for us in the city but I hope that the farmers did not have rain as they are right in the midst of harvest.
My brother that lives in the country has been helping out some farmers with their combining.
So I hope it did not rain out there.
I was watching the weather channel last night before bed – trying to see what Saturday’s weather will be for the wedding.
They always switch it to something so I did not have the patience to wait.
I also noticed that yesterday in weather history ….. parts of Alberta had huge amounts of ….. should I say the word ….perhaps not.
Starts with a S and ends with a W and is four letters in total.
I am going to check my blog from last year and see if we had any??
Don’t remember.
That is the beauty of being Canadian we seldom remember the weather from year to end.
Well it is almost time to head on downstairs and have my first cup of coffee and perhaps start work a few minutes early.
Get organized.
I wish you an awesome day.
The sky out the office window kind of looks overcast so maybe this will be a rainy day.
I hope that the skies are clear on all the farms.
Live your life with kindness and respect.
Help when you are able and always do your best.
Living my life with kindness and respect.
As Always, Carol & Alvin
P.S. last year it was sunny and warm, Edmonton did not have the S–W that other areas of Alberta experienced.
Also I had put all of my patio furniture away and was cleaning up the flower pots already in preparation for winter.
