Wake Me Up

Before I go, on a travel adventure, I have sooo much to do. Where am I going. Not sure yet where or if. Decide and buy a ticket. Emily is off to Maine. At least someone knows what they are doing. Although, I admit, not knowing is cool too. Everyone likes a good mystery.

Today I know what I’m doing. Wednesday is weigh in. 155.2 which is +1.4 from last week. Remember what I did last weekend? Rich food and liquor. I understand that can be detrimental to a weight loss program. Oh well. Birthdays are once a year. So are celebrations.

I have been trying to contact my cousin Pancho. He lives in Mexico City which had the 8+ earthquake this past week. He is not answering his cell. So I have a theory. Cell towers collapsed. Electricity out. Roads torn through. Or a building fell on him like in Oz. Hard to say. I am holding out for something positive. Good news! Just got a text from Princess Pancho, all is good in the hood! His neighborhood had some power outages but no major damage. Daughter Rebeca’s school had minor damage. Wife Kristin was at work, minor damage. Around the City, not so lucky but I am glad the family is safe. They just moved back this year. Welcome!

The pest guy just showed up. He is checking on the rats and ground squirrels. We have lots of both. Rats in the house and squirrels under. What fun. I want them all dead. Way dead. I would love to poison them but I have pets. Pets are stupid and eat poison. The pest man found no rats in the traps he set last week. He is re doing them now.

Got off to work finally. No matter how hard I try I can’t get there early. I did get in before 11.

No one came to see me today. I like that. I don’t have to perform. Very few phone calls as well. I spent the day writing letters to our friends in government revenue. I hate them and I hate writing letters to them. But they insist on sending notices to my clients. And I have to respond. I managed to finish a couple tax returns and clean my desk up a bit too. A BIG shout out to Cara, my employee, she cleaned her desk!!!!! I did not faint. That would not be prudent. Lol Cara.

Ok. So tonight we are packing Emily’s suitcase for her trip. Departure is at 730 pm tomorrow. A semi red eye. That helps with the cost but you do have to fly all night. Emily started her packing by cleaning out the fridge. Don’t ask. The suitcase will probably be last. I don’t understand either.

We interrupted packing to eat dinner. I made a chopped salad with sautéed chicken on top. Eggs, veggies, feta, craisins, etc. Man was it awesome. Pat me on the back and congratulate me on it next time you see me. It’s also low in cals and carbs. Win win baby!

Back to packing. If we both leave, Isabella will watch the house. So Emily is writing instructions to her now. Just in case. Like I said, suitcase is last. She is writing her a book.

I started packing. If Emily had not stopped me at one point I could have been faster. It took me 9:14 to pack. I am fast. Way fast. But then over the next hour I had to add an item here and there. Because I forget. But all done now. Emily did not pack yet. She will do it last minute. That’s her thing.

By the way, I am packing in case I decide to go somewhere. Ifnyoubwere wondering. My bag is next to the door. I could go to Maine if I wanted though I have no tickets. I am still deciding. I have all the time in the world.
