 It is finally time for the big day.
I hope you got all of your shopping done. If you decided this was not a good year for gifts, I appreciate that decision too. The stores were still pretty crowded today as we finished up errands for clients. I guess even with online shopping, there are just some times that you need to go and pick something up. Rollin wants to wish our clients a peaceful and restful Christmas eve. If you are still in the stay up late and put toys together phase, God bless you. Rollin will open for regular business again Monday at 8am.

 Are you the type of person who makes big shopping trips to the store 1 or 2 times a week or
do you pick up a couple of things here and there? Quick pick shopping has inked out a niche for people who only need about 5 items from the store at a time. The list can go from items for a meal to craft supplies or car parts. We don't just shop for grocery. Everyone will not think to take the chance and ask if we can pick them up something a little different than the usual. For larger shopping list, people typically like to shop on the stores website now. When our clients do this they just book online shopping delivery with us and add any extra errands they may need along the way. So is quick pick shopping a good option for you? Depends....  Is there really a such thing as perfection?
Some may say the rose in this picture is perfect. But why does it have to be? The fact that it is beautiful is perfect to me. So then what would a perfect errand look like. Blogmas Day 20: We Tried to Give Away Money in Rowan County , NC and here is what happened!12/20/2020 
No one entered to win our Christmas Tree Contest.
I would have loved to present someone with $50. If you saw it, why didn't you enter? Where you scared to lose? Did you think that no one really wins? Were you scared to be the first to do things? Did you just not need the money? I am super curious to find out. Since I have started this contest it has been hard to get people to participate. In past years I have actually advertised and asked people to post trees just to get it going. I decided against that this year and I saw by my stats that quite a lot of people still saw the post. Now I can just give the money to someone random. That's not a bad thing either. Karen aka The Delivery Diva  Exactly how many different ways do clients get in contact with Rollin?
They call. They text. They chat. They email. They use social media. They book online. The reason is the variety of clients that we serve and the way we serve them. Sometimes they need things done immediately and they want to contact us the easiest way for them. Often times, good old technology acts a fool and they have to choose another method to book us. Our favorite method is online booking on our site, because all the vital information gets answer during the process. Our least favorite method is social media. Sometimes social media platforms do not send notifications. There is also a ton of spam contacts on social media. Having so many forms of contact is not stressful. What is stressful is missing an important point of contact for our clients. Rollin serves business clients in to name a few places California, New Jersey, Maryland, South Carolina, and many parts of North Carolina. We get work done for them in the local areas we serve. Often we have to ship packages back within a deadline. They have to be able to reach us. So we try and make it as easy as possible. Karen aka The Delivery Diva  I bet I'm not the only one who get a little sad around Christmas.
I use to feel guilty about it. I live a blessed life. I have a beautiful family. But since my Mom and Dad are no longer with me, every year around the holidays, my longing for them seems to get bigger. If you have lost someone you love, the holidays may be a little tough for you too. It helps me to focus on the good times I had with them. I think of the fun we had on the holidays and how much we looked forward to them. I also think of all the great new friends and family that have come into my life over the years. It does not replace them but it does help. As I work and serve my clients it has helped so much. Helping others make their holidays special makes me feel so good. So maybe the biggest thing to do to work through Christmas sadness is to do things for others. Karen aka The Delivery Diva
 One thing I will really miss this Christmas is seeing my clients pretty Christmas decor.
Most of all I will miss seeing their beautiful table scapes. In my own home I do not have a formal dining room. We use our table so often it would be annoying to move and replace table settings every time we eat. I do put a center piece up and sometimes festive place mats but that is about it. To see some beautiful tables, set for the holiday season, follow the links below to pinterest. You can follow Rollin Delivery on Pinterest as well. Give Yourself the Gift of Time!  There's no gift more precious, than the gift of time. Time is a thing that can only be spent once. Once it's gone, it's gone forever. And while you can always make more money, you can never make more time. So, it's in our best interest to spend the time we have wisely.
One of the ways that I've been able to get more out of my time is by outsourcing certain tasks. By outsourcing, or paying someone else to do a certain task, I've been able to free up extra hours in my day to focus on the things that matter most to me. I'm a big fan of delivery services like Rollin Delivery and regularly use them to outsource my shopping, errands, and food deliveries. Time is the great equalizer. We all get the same 24 hours. It's how we prioritize and use them that makes the difference. Sometimes, despite our best intentions, there never seems to be enough hours in the day. So, wouldn't it be awesome if we could all somehow get an extra hour or two? If you're looking for some ways to gift yourself more time in your day, here are some suggestions: · Track how you spend your time. You will likely be surprised by how you spend the time you have. · Plan ahead to make the best use of your downtime. · Limit your screen time (social media, television, video games, etc.). · Outsource tasks you don't enjoy (cleaning, laundry, lawn maintenance, etc.). · Use delivery and pick-up services to reduce the amount of time spent running errands.

 Holiday meals are some of the greatest of the year. People make and order dishes they don't have all the time. Most people make a lot of it too. Since gatherings may be smaller for Christmas this year, how about something a little different?  With a little tweak to our schedules and some extra hands coming on board Rollin has added non local delivery to our roster of services.
We have always driven a little further for our partners. Now we can help our as needed clients with deliveries from Salisbury to places like
I am still working on getting them on the book system so if you need one of these deliveries don't hesitate to call. I think this is a needed addition to our services. I hope you give it a try and. enjoy it soon. Karen aka The Delivery Diva  How many times have you been asked that question.
It may be more like... "I am going to the store. Do you need anything?" That's the question Rollin is always asking clients. Clients can always let us know exactly what they want from the store and they let us know what store they want it from. We pick up things from the pharmacy, big box retail, local markets and gas stations. Where ever they decide. Most of the time we get around 5 items. At times they may need more things and we happily make it happen. So let me ask you? "What do you need from the store?"  Teresa Casmus, RPh. and her sister My how life has changed!
This time last year, my biggest complaint was Daylight Savings time and it getting dark earlier. It’s all in perspective, I suppose. Christmas is a time of hope, a time of good cheer, and a time to reconnect with family and friends. That being said, for some people this can be overwhelming and a time of great sadness. This is where the story begins.  Last year my husband bought a gift home from one of his friends at work.
It was an alcoholic drink and I am not much of a drinker so I was skeptical to even taste it. It has rum in it and it is so delicious. One more hint: The name translates to "little coconut". Guessed yet? My favorite holiday drink is coquito from Puerto Rico. If you ever get a chance to have it homemade, don't pass it up. (Unless you are not old enough to legally drink.) If you are feeling adventurous here is a receipt I found online. Give a sister a Call If it turns out to be yummy.  Warren Buffett : "The poor invest their time, while the rich invest their money. "
I have also heard it put "Rich people spend money to save time and poor people spend time to save money". Do you agree? Which one is more important to you? As a business owner I have learned to apply these saying as I see fit. Here is why.  Sitting on a cozy couch by the fireplace and watching a great Christmas movie is one of the best things to do during the holidays.
You can watch an old classic or there are some new classics floating around too. I would love to deliver good food to a family as they sit down to start a Christmas movie marathon. What would be the best thing to eat, besides popcorn of course? Here is a list of some of my favorites. Let me know in the comments which ones you like. 1. This Christmas 2. Last Holiday 3. A Charlie Brown Christmas 4. Friday After Next (Grown folks only for this one.) 5. A Christmas Story 6. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 7. Krampus (Horror) 8. Four Christmases I like most of them because they are funny and one of them because it is scary and different. I hope to find even more new shows to watch this year. I hope more come out with people of color in them as well. It is always nice to see a diverse cast in shows. Take some time and look up my list. You may like a couple of them. I would love to know the ones you watch every year. Karen aka The Delivery Diva 
Before I start this blog out talking about how weird this year has been, let me
comment that there are still many things to be thankful for. Now let me say it: "This has been an unusual year." Many people are experiencing some financial burdens that have arisen from their jobs being affected. That means it is time to get creative for the holidays. Here are some ideas for that I have been thinking about.
It's back again.

Do you ever sit back and think how different your life was just a couple of days ago.
How in the blink of an eye everything can change. This Christmas celebrate how things where, how things are and the adventure that awaits. Don't try and make things perfect. Just let the world be its unpredictable self. And, enjoy the ride. Karen aka "The Delivery Diva"  Where is your office Christmas party food coming from this year?
Is it a pot luck? Will it be catered? Maybe a little of both. What if each person got to order and eat what they wanted from a specific restaurant? Wouldn't that be nice!  If you have ever had blood drawn and you don't like it, the tubes in the picture my bring up some bad memories.
Have you ever wondered where those tubes go after they are all full of your blood? Would you be surprised to know that sometimes your blood goes on quite a journey. |
