Book of Days Catch-Up Post Part 2: May 31st - June 19th

All caught up! *yippee!*
Celebrating small victories each and every day as:
 My Brain tries to cope with the Lyrica, 
My Body tries to cope with the disconcerting sensations in my core from my prolapsed bladder and 
My poor Psyche/Self/Muse is fighting for some air space in there. 

One of Today's Victories: 
Got my Book of Days ALL caught up... right up to and including Today!
*woot-woot*

May 10th - 30th was posted up June 14th:

Today's posting is May 31st - June 19th

Used as much Happy Mail as I could... if you sent me something it just might be hiding in my BOD. ;O) Used stamped images on envelopes, cards and well... you can see for yourself.

Wallack's Warehouse *happy-happy* Sale!!! Haul-Report.

HUGE Thank-You to Stephanie Guimond for posting in the Creative Ottawa Facebook Group about the Wallacks' Warehouse Sale over at City Center yesterday. 
WOW-za!!!! 
So hope we can get there earlier next year because it was FAB-u-LOUS!

Sale was on from 9 AM -6 PM... Greg had to work 8:30 AM -4:30 PM.
His last route ended downtown and the car was parked waaaaay out at the east end St. Laurent Depot (he drives for OCTranspo, our local City Bus). 
Though his route ran late by 10 minutes... He managed to get to the car, drive someone that needed dropping at Baseline Station there and get home here (Pinecrest/Baseline) by 5:35.
Then we fleeeeeeeew to City Center. Made it there and in the door by 5:50 PM. 
Huzzzzzzah!!! 
He DESERVES a Big ol'Medal!
Then we rush-shopped in tandem for the 10 minutes that was left. 
Greg knows what I like/need so I trust him completely to grab and go for my tastes. 
He's awesome.

Hoping some of this helps heal my ailing Muse.
