Well, this was a whole different kind of day. Today is all about 2 mysteries. At least I can say things are never dull around here.
It all started out fine. A nice normal day. I had a meeting at work first thing in the morning. For some unexplainable reason I left my cell phone on my desk when I went down the hall. I always have my phone with me. I still don't know why I didn't take it to my meeting. When we finished and I got back to my desk, I saw my house number as a missed call and a voicemail. Instead of wasting time checking the message I just dialed home.
In an eerily calm voice, Auntie asks if I can run home for a minute. ?? Yes, I reply - but why? Her eerily calm voice threw me a bit because you may have picked up from some of my posts, she is a tad bit high strung! She says "Your mother has fallen and I can't lift her up" I didn't even ask any questions, just hung up and raced home. She was on the floor between the bed and the closet. But before you think she just fell out of bed - She was backwards! We still can't figure it out. I checked her from head to toe - twice. Not a mark or bruise on her and not one tender spot. We have no idea when it happened, as Auntie found her that way this morning. And she wasn't trying to get to the bathroom as there were no "accidents". It is a complete mystery but she seems fine.
Mystery #2 - The dog seems to be crazy too. I may need the services of a dog psychic. Princess Millie spends every meal time, on her special mat beside me at the table. (Yes she gets table treats - don't judge) However, since yesterday she is now "scared" of her mat. She will not go there no matter what I put on the mat. Not-even-cheese.......so you know its serious. She now goes and stands beside the stove and barks and whines. I have picked her up and put her on the mat and she runs back to the stove. I have switched the mat for a different one. Nope - runs back to the stove.
What in the beejeebers is that about?? Seriously, I cannot take another bit of crazy in this house. I took the afternoon off work. I met two friends for coffee. I added some "special" to the coffee. (Again, don't judge) There was a flask involved - not mine. Yes, I have those kinds of friends. (Thank God! Lol)
I think I pulled a muscle in my back while lifting Mom. The "special" coffee tasted good. I think this may be in my future later tonight........I heard Grey Goose can act like a muscle relaxant. Don't judge. Its been a mysterious day

Faalalala
I feel a little more Christmassy now. Attending the performance of the Nutcracker Ballet was a great idea. I went with my friend Teri and her Mom. We had some special little girl's in the performance.
The youngest was one of the mice and later a dancing gingerbread. Her sister was one of the toy soldiers. They looked adorable and did a fantastic job.
I was impressed with the whole production. Very professional and well done. And some of those ballerina's were just amazing. Not bad for a small little town.
Before the performance started we did a little shopping in downtown Sackville. I found this great little carrier. It looks perfect for when you have to take treats somewhere this time of year.
When I got home I discovered the beautiful pointsettia garden (in the first photo) had been delivered. And one of Mom's Home Care workers stopped by and delivered this cute little mug with greenery.
He makes one for each of his clients, as many of them live alone and don't have a Christmas tree anymore so they enjoy the little wisps of real greenery. It is so sweet and thoughtful.
And the last (but certainly not least) bit of Christmas spirit I found this weekend . . .

A bottle of Chocolate Vodka Martini
Now that's some Christmas Spirit - Right . . . . .
I'm thinking garnishing the glass with a peppermint patty or maybe a mini candy cane
I'll let you know my review after I "test" it tonight.

Are you sure??
No, I am not losing my mind. I know it's Tuesday.
But it sure felt like a Monday.
A long, long, work day Monday
At mid afternoon a random thought popped into my mind.
You know when that happens and you just can't talk yourself out of it......
So as soon as work is over.....
You give in to the random thought
Happy Un-Monday
'Nuff said

Bouncing back
Seems I am bouncing back. In fact, I started feeling more energetic around 3:30pm. My phone rang at work and it was from the beach, with an invitation to Happy Hour Martini's and dinner.
Funny how that perked me up! This is the view I was enjoying by 5pm.

Ahhhhhh......... the triple raspberry garnish
A little grey goose, a few laughs, some mussells and scallops......
And Happy Hour ended with one of these....
Summers are rough in Nova Scotia :)
