Five more sleeps until Disneyland!!! I cannot wait!!!
In other news... I am getting my ID.4 a lot earlier than I expected. Apparently a woman had ordered a white one with all of the bells and whistles I want (AWD (I decided the extra $ was worth it), statement package) and someone had mistakenly entered grey as the colour instead of white. When they contacted her, she insisted she wanted a white vehicle and luckily they had a cancelled order for a white one that they were able to give her. That left them with a grey one which just happens to be the colour I want. Long story short... my name was at the top of the waitlist so they offered it to me. I accepted and it will be arriving via train on the mainland when I am in Disneyland. After that it has to be transported by truck to the Island. They have six coming in and can only transport three at a time (they weigh 5,000 lbs) and he couldn't tell me if mine would be in the first group of three or the second but I will get it in March for sure. I also get unlimited free charging on Electrify Canada for two years which means I can pretty much travel to Alberta and back for free anytime I want.
So...after getting that news, I decided it would be a really good time for me to travel to the interior to visit my ex-inlaws as I haven't seen them in a few years and I know my X-MIL is in poor health so I really want to see her again before I get a call to go to her funeral. I texted my XH and he invited me to come and visit over the Easter long weekend (I have Friday to Tuesday off). I also had the brilliant idea of picking up my now-adult nephews on the way so they could spend Easter with their grandparents and parents as well. I haven't seen them or their parents since my eldest nephew committed suicide 13 years ago. At that time, his brothers were in their mid-teens and now they are in their late 20's so I am so excited to see them if I can. The elder of the two responded to my message saying he just started a new job and would check to see if they will let him go for that time period. I haven't heard from the youngest but the two of them are bf's so if he doesn't see my message, I'm sure his brother will pass it on. Anyway...fingers crossed they can come with me.
XH's wife returned home from the hospital on Saturday. No idea if that means the crisis has passed but I'm hoping that it does.
Oh yeah... more fun on FB dating. I had replied to a guy in my area who seemed like he might be nice...decent looking...a job in education...no obvious issues from his pictures or description. I just sent him a brief text asking him a question about why he had switched careers (cooking to education). He then replied...went into a long diatribe about the tv shows I like, which ones he likes too, how he doesn't have cable so we'd have to watch them at my place and he'd bring the popcorn and then finished off with...wait for it... "I'm sooooo excited DV6. I knew that God would send you to me one day [kissy face emoji]." So I contemplated that for a moment [and read it a second time to make sure I had read it right], then clearly heard a voice in my head say, "Delete him." So I did. Whether that was God or my own intuition, I have no idea but that guy had "potential stalker" written all over him. Seems to me that is something you would say to someone you had been going out with for a long time, who you clearly loved and wanted to express how grateful you were that they came into your life... not someone who likes the same tv shows as you and had just said "hello". Wow. It's a good thing that so many people wave their red flags in front of your face so you can't miss them...lol. Bullet...dodged.
