CHAT FROM VcToria

​

Picking up where I left off last month. On July 29th I headed out to Camrose to set up Big Valley Jamboree. Then the following day headed back to start the show. I have to say I was pleasantly pleased when I called my hotel that they said I could drop off my luggage and get my room at 11am 😊 And I had no issues with the hotel all weekend BUT!! The booths are extremely high in cost for this show so along with that and the hotel my profit was way down for this year. I have applied again, but this time I applied for a 5 X 10 booth back on the walls. I will travel back and forth for two nights and sleep in the van for two nights 😊 At least that is my plan for next year. Then we will see if I let go of this show. Next year is HUGE for me as it is my Personal Year Nine. [ Season 9 the ‘let go of what you no longer want/need’]

​

Bells was as usual ecstatic to see me. The neighbors 12-year-old boy is taking care of her when I am gone. He does a GREAT job. I pay him $25 a day and he stays with her for an hour of more plus comes back at night to turn on the air conditioner and check that she is fine 😊

​

Finally, I had some time off. Monday, I made bread, sent out the MP3’s that I offer for recording at the shows. Got my lotteries in and then rested 😊 Then after all the stormy weather I noticed my back gate had blown off!! Yup. My son came over and fixed it nicely. The hinges had to be screwed back on. Then my blinds had stopped working once again in the front room so he put up curtain rods for me so I could hang curtains. My blind guy will be arriving this week to change the motor out.

​

Did some groceries, went over to West Edmonton mall and got my granddaughters birthday gift as she was coming into town. She is getting married on Labor Day weekend and then her honeymoon is Bali. So, I got Indonesian rupia. 1000 rupia = $8 Canadian dollars!! I bought her $300 worth so 3.5 million rupia. A millionaire in Bali money LOL. I also bought myself some foot cream while I was at the mall. Hemp cream that has to be the best for feet. 😊

​

Then my yearly event at Tofield on the promenade. Drove out and dropped my GST [6 months worth] with my accountant and set up my van and worked for 4 hours with 5 minutes reads for all the folks who enjoy this event. Weather was GREAT 😊

​

Got the kitchen floor washed, the lawn mowed and found time to take my grandson for our monthly lunch 😊

​

Then rested as I knew The Fringe was coming up. My last long show and the busiest. How was it? Finally, a show that was even better than last year 😊 Exhausting but wonderful 😊

​

BUT!! On the same day as The Fringe opened, I had another paid by the hour event that two of my psychic friends did with me. Third year for us and this year we had to add another psychic believe it or not 😊 So I worked from Noon to 5pm then headed to The Fringe for 6 pm to 11 pm. Thus, making all eleven days 11 am to 11 pm. NOT complaining at all but my work does all come at the same time, so rest is important.

​

And to my great delight Bob the homeless guy who I hired last year to help me tear down was still around. I left a message with his buddies who were in the neighborhood, and it was passed on as Bob showed up promptly at 7pm and tore down the curtains, packed up the floor, pushed the cart, loaded the van etc. Yes, he was paid 😊

​

AND NOW?? As you read this, I am officially on my well-deserved vacation time 😊 I normally take time off right after The Fringe but this year I am driving to British Columbia for the wedding, so I booked clients right after The Fringe till the 29th of August. I am leaving on September 1st with Bella and driving through the mountains. AND!!! after me mentioning that I would be in BC in my newsletter for the past 3 months not one booking was had!! So, I am not taking my cards or anything related to doing readings with me. I will enjoy the time off completely. I have to be back by the 13th of September as I am booked almost to the end of September at my home office 😊 I will write about my trip in next months newsletter as the drive there is planned out but not the drive home. I am not sure if I will take the ferry over to the Vancouver Island for a few days or just drive home on the other highway to see different highlights of Canada.

​

SO!! Right after The Fringe I sent all my MP3’s out and that took a LONG time! Completed some grocery shopping and the highlight of my week was going to a comedy show with a friend of mine. I watch Ninety-Day Fiancé and always have, probably from the first series. On this show a guy named Sarper appeared from Turkey. Anyway, he went into comedy and was coming to Edmonton. My friend and I bought 2 tickets and went. We had bought ‘meet and greet’ tickets BUT!!! So had about 200 other people so based upon the LONG line up the wait would have been over 2 hours so we opted out of waiting but I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Also made mushroom/onion crepes/ Caesar salad/lemon roasted potatoes and panna cotta for desert for my buddy who came over early for supper.  

​

Laundry, vacuuming, then my guy came over and changed the motor in my main blind so now all three work well once again in my front room. Meditated daily, took massages in my chair, read on the patio with Bella beside in her cat stroller that she LOVES!! Although I still have not done up the sides and walked her but that will come next month on how she did in the mountains 😊

​

GROCERIES: bananas, celery, dried chick peas, corn on the cob, plant based mayonnaise, garlic, mango, pink lady apples, red grapes, flour, lemons, toothpaste, silk creamer, strawberry plums, raw sugar, nectarines, bread flour, apricot jam, marmalade, romaine lettuce, whole wheat wraps, cucumbers, coffee, green apples, avocadoes, potatoes, vegan butter, black plums, pineapple, just egg, melon, watermelon, vegan sausage and vegan smoked salmon, beyond meat,  nutritional yeast, tinned coconut milk, green onions, mushrooms, roasted seaweed, raspberries, raw almonds, parsley, onions and lastly I ordered from a place on line in BC some new vegan offerings [Juicy Marbles kinda cod/kinda salmon and hot and sour soup] ALL three were terrible. Sadly. Cost: $736.15 That also included some face cream and Q-Tip’s. A HIGH month for me cost wise.

​

BELLA: Nothing. My rescue buddy brought me over a massive bag of N and D dry food and kitty litter and treats were fully stocked.

​

NETFLIX: Very little time was had as I catch up on shows that I record during my 12 hour days. But I did watch The Bombing of Pan Am 103. I gave it a 7/10 as once again the actors they hire have HEAVY accents and are truly hard to understand. Otherwise, I would have given it a higher mark 😊

​

And today [29th] I will wrap up my last client and upload this chat to the rest of the newsletter that I had already prepared way ahead of time. Knowing my busy time is just that BUSY work wise I prepare business way in advance 😊

​

As you awaken see how you feel each day. Do you awake with glee and are happy to get up? Then life is fine for you. If not, change why you groan at seeing yet another day appear. Do not say “I cannot” as change is a choice and one must decide why we chose the life we have. I can assure you it is to make CHANGES that are not possible while out of the material body that is our ‘home’ for now. You are EXACTLY who you are now when you depart the physical. If you do not like how you feel then it guarantees you another go around on this planet to shift this. Trust me, I am usually right LOL!!! And on that light note I leave you as I go off to meditate, read my client and do a HAPPY vacation dance later today 😊

​

LAST COMMENT: I will be posting some videos on Face Book as I travel through the mountains on my personal page not business page.

 

​​This is the best Caesar dressing I have ever made. ENJOY!!

Of course, you need romaine lettuce but that is just a given when making Caesar salad.

So cut up the lettuce into bite size pieces and place in a bowl.

​

In another bowl place all these ingredients in there and mix well.

½ cup of plant-based mayonnaise. [available in Save on Foods and many other grocery stores]

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 heaped tablespoon of nutritional yeast

2 cloves of garlic. I like garlic in my dressing, so I use 2 heaped teaspoons of chopped garlic that I buy already chopped. [Make sure it is fresh]

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon of capers [ you can omit them if you do not stock them but I like them as they substitute for anchovies taste]

1 teaspoon Braggs

1/8th teaspoon of sea salt

1/8th teaspoon of black pepper.

Mix well.

​

I cut up a shallot and add it to my lettuce and then add the dressing. Yes, most likely you are saying what about croutons? I do not add them but if you wish you may use the box kind [read ingredients on the side to make sure they are vegan, most are not]

OR make them yourself.

2 cups of diced bread

2 tablespoons of olive oil

¼ teaspoon dried thyme

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

1/8th teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 350F. Place croutons on a baking sheet. Use parchment paper so they do not stick. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss. Mix the thyme, oregano and pepper and toss over the croutons and toss till all are evenly coated. Bake for about 5-6 minutes and remember to flip them halfway through. If you want them crisper bake a couple of minutes more. Cool them and then add to your salad.
