I am writing this very late. And by late I mean later than I usually create my daily entry. It’s Sunday and I am writing yesterday, Saturday, our first full day back. We both returned from our separate trips on Friday.
Today, Saturday,(to remind myself) we got up extra late. It’s not as if travel itself is strenuous, but I was really tired. For me, I only need now the lawn, 2 hours, and go into Vacaville and buy a new phone. Because I washed my phone in the ocean. Because my memory is bad and I forgot it was in my pocket. A $250 mistake plus the extreme hassle of trying to use another phone as my own. Which screws up me and the person letting me slip my SIM card into their phone. Let’s move on, I do obsess.
The lawn is the usual. All I need to do is make a 30 min round trip to the gas station since I’m out of gas. F bomb. That’s done. Not exciting. Gassed up. Off to the lawn. I mow everything – dog poop, toys, branches, whatever gets in front of me. I want to get done. It takes about two hours for the 3 acre home footprint. The house is surrounded on all sides by lawn. I dump all the clippings, a f bomb load, out in the unplanted field on the west side of the house. They get plowed in later by Brian our farmer. For those of you from town, there is no such thing as a green waste container out here. I would need 5 to 10 if there were. Nothing exciting to report.(Dorine). Lawn mowed.
I had not showered yet. So, coach sent me to the showers. While I had been mowing, Emily had gone to school which means six hours minimum of work for her.
After clean up, off to Vacaville. Bought a new iPhone 6 to replace the 6s. The 6s was $200+ more so screw that. The sales associate did not want to go thru a full restore (asshole) so I left with an activated unrestored phone. He gave me a good 15 second lesson on restoring the phone. You know, that just does not seem enough.
I went to Emily’s classroom after. I took her lunch, hot pastrami sandwich for those who care. I set a leave now alarm on her phone and left. Don’t want her to overstay her welcome.
Went home and started my first attempt at restoring my phone. By the time Emily came home a couple hours later, it still was not restored. Surprise.
We went grocery shopping. Without a list. We purchased a lot of stuff. Almost all of it we already had. Emily is the queen of “no list” shopping and this trip is a great example of why a list is important. Whatever. To home.
Dinner. I cooked Chipotle Pork chops with mozzarella broccoli. We skipped the salad. I also added a couple whiskey sours. You need a daily dose from the chocolate and alcohol food group. Check the pyramid, it’s group number 5.
That’s the day folks. From memory. We went to bed early. I wish it was more exciting (Doriene) but that was my day.
