Finally, everybody has come home. We are all grouped around the table. Coffee for everyone. I had breakfast. Most important meal of the day. And, since I am obviously so important, I am the only one who had breakfast. Pancakes, as previously stated, and coffee. I had some watermelon 🍉 also. Absolutely the best of the season. Marika went back to the market for another one. That good.
It’s already 1015. Of course, as you know, we had the late flight arrival at 1230am this morning. And get this, a telemarketer called for Emily at 8am another at 815 and another at 830. I hate that. I was asleep. Not anymore. And welcome home Emily.
I will be off to work soon. Appointments.
Michael is leaving for Lake Nacimiebto today. Camping trip with his girlfriends family. Tent camping. He is too big a weenie to take the trailer which really is just a luxe tent. His loss. He is taking his dog Kona with him. I am not sure if we will see him before Thanksgiving.
I left for the office because I thought I had a 1pm appointment. Turns out it was a 11am appointment. Oops. So I am going to go out to the clients business at 230 instead.
Before Michael left he got a haircut. This is a big deal since his hair is past his shoulders and he has a long beard. People call him Jesus. He even dressed as Jesus last Halloween. He came home and we all shamed him into showing us how much was cut (he usu keeps it up in a bun). So how much? An inch, tops. The kid kills me. 
That’s post cut. See the hair draped over his shoulder? Whatever.
I had a real haircut on Wednesday. 
Now that’s a haircut. I think I had more cut than he did. Kids these days.
I have not mentioned something. 3 days ago my bro in law Jamie was attacked by a dog. It was his tenants dog. The tenant and dog live in the house. Anyhow, he was doing laundry with Dee, his wife, and the dog kept jumping on him. Then dog attacked. Ripped a hand apart, ripped a triceps muscle, puncture wounds to his chest. Can you say bad dog? Part pit bull. The part that bites. He ended up in the emergency room and got put back together. The tenant, being as she was sane, cleaned up the blood while they were at the hospital. Lots of blood. Tenant also called them and told them the dog needed to be put down. Which is hard to disagree with. Jamie seems well after all that.
So my workday was short. In at 1130 and off to appt at 2. Then 2 1/2 hour appt with clients discussing income and tax strategies for them. I am not going back to the office. Seems pointless at this late hour (5pm). But I want to share a couple signs from in front of clients restaurant. 
Maybe they have a plant theft problem. Signs made me laugh.
So an uneventful drive home with very little traffic. Nice. Got a fill up in west Sacramento. I had 30 mins worth of Roomba maintenance when I got home. This time, gotta buy some parts. Maybe a little lube and tune. Roomba is tired. So I took her apart. Ok time for professionals. There is a service that picks up and delivers Roomba. I did that. Can’t live without a vacuum.
We decided to go out to eat. We are at Rolines in south Vacaville. Filipino food. So far pretty good. 
I don’t know if that’s really true.
I had the kare kare which is a bone in oxtail stew in peanut sauce with green beans and homemade shrimp paste. It hits the spot. The ladies had more pedestrian fare beef adobo and Pork adobo with pancit (noodles). Rolines is a unique and uniquely Filipino eating place. Go see at Rolines.com. Worth a visit if you are in Vacaville or even just close. The people who work here are really friendly too.
We went directly home after dinner. Ya I know, we are tres exciting. But it’s Friday and the end of a long week and no one got any decent sleep last night. And Marika has been hung over all day. Not what adds up to an exciting evening. It’s 830 and I am ready for bed.
