Just a quick update that i attended my ZOOM info session on a development in our neighborhood which will include 50 boutique hotel units that i am so excited about as it will provide affordable alternate accommodations in the neighborhood when construction in my building is too unbearably noisy as we experienced these past two years with our balcony rejuvenations and will again in a few years with our planned podium restoration. There really hasn't been any option for alternative accommodations in the neighborhood since a pretty hotel was converted into a retirement residence.

I SPOKE AT THE MEETING!!! My experience with my mental health events helped as i am familiar with the ZOOM tech. I did really well! I spoke slowly and clearly and remembered to use a French accent in the pronunciation of my last name as we are a bilingual city and i want to show respect to our French citizens as there is some friction between the two groups. I was very positive and upbeat and said i was excited and thrilled and asked what was the difference between a "limited use hotel" and a "boutique hotel" as both terms have been used. They seem to mean the same thing, that it is a basic and affordable room with no amenities which is ideal for me as i just want a way to escape the racket here at my building. "Boutique hotel" sounds cuter so i will call it that from now on.

My glasses were fine! My eyes were centered in the lenses and clearly visible and there was minimal adjustment required. So pleased!

My city councilor was there but he did not speak but it was nice for me to know that he could see me and hear me speak so well.

Feeling very good!

@Jennifer 1967: So glad your siblings are helping with some of the heavy lifting. You sure deserve their help.
