I do like Saturday. Even though it is the workiest of the weekend days, it’s still nice. My favorite part is when I get up. There is usually no schedule. So I feed the dogs, make the coffee then sit down and read the paper. The whole paper. Even the religion page. It’s just relaxing to do it. I woke up at 6 and could not get back to sleep. So up it is. Emily and Marika are still snoring. Had to put the dogs out of course. Jaxon pooped all over the porch. The dog has zero nerve feeling in his rear. And now I sit. Two hours later and only half done with the paper and the Saturday paper is the smallest of the week. I think it’s like juicing fruit. I squeeze all the news out including the seeds and a little of the rind.
Well, two hours of reading the paper gets you the same. A shower and a lawn to mow. How funny.
We might go up to Auburn and look at a couple homes today. I must wash my car because, as you know, my car has been returned to like new condition and I want to keep it that way. As I do every Saturday, gotta mow the lawn. And if everyone can’t get out of bed I may do it all alone. Lazy bums.
So I am doing other yard work of shorter task duration. Emily said “aren’t we going to the Woodlake garage sale and maybe Auburn?” I don’t remember the discussion of this but she does. So no time early to mow lawn. Later I guess. So now off to do some yard work.
Thats three pairs of before and after yard work photos. So I did all that yard work and dumped he cuttings and went to check on the ladies. I still had to sit for 30 or 40 minutes while they got ready. That was mostly Marika. Of course, if she hadn’t been there it would be Emily. It really doesn’t bother me. We are not on schedule but it burns up daylight.
We have a plan now. Go attempt to get the Rx we have been trying to get all week. Then off to Woodlake. That’s a nice neighborhood in Sacramento where my friends Bob and Renee live. The neighborhood has an annual garage sale and we are going. Then to Auburn to look at houses.
The prescription was not ready. Again. The pharmacy has called the doctor office 4 times this week. The dr is a lame ass. His office is incompetent. Emily called the on call doctor, dr ormiston, and he claimed he would call it in. Will see about that. So the trip to the pharmacy took 30 mins.
We are a couple miles from Woodlake now. Day is going strong. Ok, Emily bought a marble works for a dollar. For the kindergarten class. And a couple throw pillows. Coulda skipped the sales. We did see friend Bob in whose driveway we parked. He is doing well and was relaxing by the pool.
We made a quick visit of that and are finally off to Auburn. There is a ton of roadwork in Sacramento and several exits were closed. This has slowed us down a lot. We will be late to meet the agent.
We made it to the property 15 mins late. Report: Emily loved it. Marika hated it. I am like warm on it but like the style of building they did. It’s also way off the highway on very small winding roads. So not very accessible. But I know why Emily loves it and I think we can build one like it but better in other respects. Emily has the style down.
On the way home we stopped for a snack at Chick Fil-a. Their lemonade is really very good though the food is only middling. Thebdrive back from the property was around 55 mins. Quite a ways.
We got home and packed up Marika’s car. She is heading back to Rohnert Park. She is helping a friend celebrate her birthday. These things require help you know.
I mowed the lawn. I hate the lawn. It was very quick at the least. No problems, but I need to spray the weeds tomorrow. They are a little out of hand.
Emily made fire roasted guacamole and enchiladas for dinner. Actually, I fire roasted the avocados, Emily did everything else. We are about 15 mins from eating right now. I am looking forward to dinner. 
See that? Too bad you all missed out. Leftovers are available but you need to get here quick.
I am sure everyone wants to see something I do about ten times a day. Let my dogs out to do their business. 
Latte is the black dog by herself in the photo. She is peeing on the driveway. Too damn stubborn to pee on the lawn. Maybe a boot in her rear would help. The other picture is our cocker Jaxon and mutt Taffy. Jaxon likes to pee on the other dogs. Gotta love him. And then I gotta wash off the other dogs. Aren’t pets just fantastic? Wait, don’t answer that.
Being a long day that it was we finished up dinner late, around 930. Just to call out my lovely and favorite wife, she had a couple prickly pear Margaritas pre dinner. We did have Mexican food so it’s ok. Really.
So off to bed, see you manana.
