Today is Wednesday and as all who read this know, I don’t go to the office on Wednesdays. Well, since deadline is Friday, I went to work today. I have a ton to do.
I am going to try and remember today. It’s 20 to 9 at night and this is the first chance I have had to write anything down. I tell you in the spirit of honesty not just to get sympathy for what could be a lame post. I hope you all know where to find sympathy.
First appointment, here at the house, for 8am, cancelled. Great. More time for me. Received two or three calls from my Dad. He is moving up to Auburn with us. Hence one reason this is taking so long. He needs handicap access in any home we choose which can involve remodel. Tough with a rental. I forgot to mention this prior so now it helps you understand my travails.
This morning I had to go to the salon and get my haircut. Rachel, who used to live out here, finally listened to me and brought her new dog to work so I could meet him. His name is Monte (short for Joe Montana). He is a brindle French bulldog. Male in name only since he just had his nuggets removed. The dog could not be cuter. And I think he loves everyone. I held him the whole time I was there including while I got worked on. And he put up with it.. I almost want another dog except I have 3. So no.
Returned home after to put my dogs out since I had left them in the house.
Off to work and the usual tranquil drive to work, except for the constant phone calls. Did I mention the deadline on Friday? I am a wanted man right now. I had to recharge the phone battery twice today. Mostly due to a client in a contested battle with partners in a business. It appears the tide turned in his favor today and I believe he will prevail in whatever comes out the other side. But it was also about 5 very long phone calls. It makes him feel better.
Got to office and the scanner was down. This is not good. I scan docs all day long. Got ahold of the tech and he was able to fix over the phone. Free. Okay. Way to go Shawn!
Spent my entire day doing taxes, printing tax returns or on the phone talking to tax clients. Head never came up.. Had a couple texts from Marika regarding the car. Trying to get the rest of the info from her to finish up the purchase for her. Tough during the deadline time. But at least she understands.
I have to be at Turkovich winery for wine club night. Tonight at 6. Emily, I thought, wanted me to go. We are to meet Barb and Kirk there. Barb is Emily’s bestie and many people think they are sisters. Both are awesome and also are our neighbors. They live two forty acre parcels away from us. That’s close, for you city folks. Probably should stay at work and do tax returns but too bad I’m leaving by 430.
So, balance of day is tax returns and etc. Off to the home front at 430. Arrived before Emily but got out of the house kind of sluggishly. We arrived at the winery at 615. We still beat Barb and Kirk by quite a few. We managed to score a table for four even. The place was packed when we arrived. Nice evening of hors douvres and wine. Tasted seven different bottles. Took seven bottles home. Nice talking to the friends as well. Always seems we don’t get to do this type of thing very often. Not often enough for sure. Funny aside, there was an exact ’02 S2000 in the parking lot in front of Turkovich that Marika is buying. Exact, except for interior. Funny. I was able to show Emily what it looks like in advance. Guess they made more than one.
I am home now, 915 so I ought to be. Trying to post something that will be interesting and informative. I can settle for not dull. But it is what it is. I am going to bed. I am sure I will be working very late tomorrow.
