I didn't sleep too badly last night. Lights out at 12:20am, awake for an hour of reading at 4:30am then a great sleep from 5:30am until 8:45am. I yawned and stretched for a minute and then the phone rang. It was a dear friend from another province, so I happily delayed getting breakfast and getting ready for my day so we could chat. Then just as we were wrapping up our call a text message came in from out of town friends to let me know they were coming to our house and would be arriving in about 2 minutes. I had to excuse myself from my phone call friend to run upstairs and throw on some clothes, barely making it down to the back door as they began knocking. My husband was staggering about all through my phone call, trying to get ready for a morning meeting in his still sleepy state after he also slept in unexpectedly, but fortunately it was a breakfast meeting so he didn't have to try to make breakfast before he left. Just as I got downstairs with day wear on, our friends arrived, exchanged greetings with my husband as he was leaving and then were very patient with me as I prepared my own breakfast along with their pot of tea. What a crazy, delightful start to the day.
When my husband finally arrived home close to 1pm I had to hop into the car and race to the bank where we have had SO MANY issues and glitches and set up some financial "stuff" for our upcoming trip. This time there was only one glitch and THIS time I was actually prepared for it! The teller was very experienced, has been at that branch for some time and was most helpful in straightening out the issue. Bless her! Since I got home she has emailed me with some more information and has offered more help with something that may come up with our account while we are out of the country and is going to solve that possible problem for us. The more unavoidable contact we have with this bank the more we are realizing it is only rarely the employees at the local branch who are making a mess of things, it is mostly the third party investment and credit card companies etc. that are screwing us over time after time. Well, we will be shut of that bank altogether once we get home. We are done with it. Hallelujah!!
We ran a few errands before I ate lunch at 3pm.
Oh yay!! We just received a dinner invitation to the home of friends this evening. Curried chicken veggie pot pie!! Our absolute favourite and these two women can COOK, yeah you betcha'!! How wonderful. How blessed are we, right? They get home late enough from work that I won't be eating that much too soon after my late lunch. Ooh, I am so excited.
Wonder what I can cram into the next two and a half hours before we go out for dinner? Who is going to call or show up next? I LOVE days like this because I LOVE happy surprises like long distance phone calls and long distance company! It is a good day today. I COULD do the ironing, but it might be wiser to bury my nose in a book instead for an hour and leave the ironing as my tomorrow afternoon's chore.
