It’s Thursday. Its only 830 and I am almost ready to leave for work. Wow. Usually I get a much layer start toward the office. I am sure I will find a way to waste some time but for now I feel like an early riser.
Just got my first phone call of the day. There goes a half hour. This is how most days go. Get info, create document, make call for someone. Every day. Hey, it’s a living.
Need to go to PO to ship a couple parcels. Will handle on the way to work. One of them is my car armrest which I am having covered in contrasting colored leather. Will match boot and headrests. The company is in Poland, of all places. But they do nice work. My other shipment is going to Georgia which, like Poland, is an exotic, far away land. And both locales have people who look and talk funny.
So on the way out of town I had to stop and buy boxes and bubble wrap. 12$. Then to PO and spend 35$ to ship. So it cost me 12$ to ship the gift to Georgia. The gift cost 7$. That just feels wrong.
Headed off to work and was late for an appointment. Oops. In my office. Reminds me of yesterday when I got here and had an appointment from the moment I got there till 5 hours later. Today I ended up with back to back appointments to start the day. Lovely. But it is new money so what the hell.
I did manage to finish the financial statement for our big tax mitigation deal. That deal is almost done, so close I can taste it. We could get paid within a week or two. Its been close to two years in this deal. What a pain.
As always I filled all the gaps in my day with something. As you know, my memory of my work day is erased by the end of the day. Its a blessing.
I went home around 530. Again, an unremarkable drive. Yay!!
I fixed dinner tonight. Not saying much, it was three quarters reheated leftovers and a little frozen food. It was not the best meal but we got full.
After dinner there was a little gift wrapping, as usual. Time of year and all.
I did a little laundry, then we watched TV for an hour or so. Then off to bed.
