It’s MLK day, party time!!
We went to see a rental that is available. Emily rejected it. So no rental. Marika was home for the night and she hated it too. I did not care.
I left for work right after the viewing. Not much else going on. I tried to get done with two things today. Only two. I did not finish either. I tried to send out electronic organizers for taxes. There was a break down at the server level so that failed. No organizers sent.
Had a looong talk with the contractor on our Auburn house. His estimate came in way to high. We discussed all aspects of the job trying to figure out how to make it less expensive. When it got down to it we decided we need to get the architect, Mike, to come up with an estimatable plan for a much cheaper version of our house. Smaller setback, more rectangular box like house, shorter drive, the things that cheap it out. Then maybe we can get a lower price estimate.
I must admit, I am having a really difficult time remembering my day. It’s amazing. My work day ended 3 hours ago and it’s as if I never went to work, hey theres an idea.
Wait, I do remember one thing. I received an email from an old friend. Dan, a college classmate. He had searched me out on the internet. I guess there have been some dorm floor reunions and some people have wondered where I was. Thank god someone misses me. Dan and I traded a few emails. Who knows, maybe I will be included in the next outing. Could be fun.
Head d home around 6. Nothing to report on the drive. Usual boring trip.
Emily made chicken and dumplings for dinner which was awesome. She has never made it before. She is good at first attempts.
Dinner was great. Emily has been on the couch sleeping on and off for the past hour or so. I am blogging. I did the dishes. Usual evening. Bad TV. Always the same. Soon it’s bedtime and I get to start it all over again.
