Sorry forgot to post this a week ago
Hey, I was just thinking as I sat here this morning, listening to my dog. I may have never mentioned one of my least favorite morning tasks. Every morning, first thing, I put the dogs out for their morning constitutional. Not uncommon for dog owners. But, Jax, Marika’s Cocker, is special. He was very sick about a year back. Almost died. He came out of it, but he was a changed dog. He has lost control, not completely, of his bowels. He can hold all night. Usually. But every morning I have to get him out. Obviously. The kicker? I have to remember in my busy morning to put him out right after I feed him or he leaves a trail of “bread crumbs” all over the house. The big question, why do we forget to put him out every morning after he eats. The dog has no idea what he is doing so it’s all on us. Emily forgets too. It’s a good thing we have vinyl floors.
There is no coffee in the house again. My coffee man, Shawn, was unable to get to the office yesterday. So it’s German Bakery again today. I would complain to Shawn but it is free. I like free.
Marika and I will head up for coffee when I am finally showered and etc. She is sound asleep right now. As sound asleep as one can be whennher dog is whining. Loudly. Next to her bed.
So I showered and got dressed. Went out back and picked up the poop. Awesome. Came in. Marika was up and we are going for coffee before she eats or showers. I gotta go.
We went up to the bakery for our Americanos. Cheaper than brewed coffee, strangely. On our way out we ran into Emily Kincheloe. A fri Nd of my daughters for 20 years. Hence, my friend too. She is working for her Dad now, Bob, as a locksmith. Crazy. We had a nice chat and got all caught up. Waved bye bye.
Back to the house. We decided to try and install the armrest on Marika’s car. She pulled out the one she didn’t like and got one from the wreckers that is like mine. Turns out we need a couple more parts to make this work. Marika bout had a cow over that. I did manage to get her calmed down and sent her back to Superior auto body. I figured Alex, svc mgr, would have an idea. I got a call about an hour later. He had a solve, cost $5. Marika pit he cow back in the pasture.
Anyway, I left miss pissed off and went to work. I have 3 appts today. When I arrived, my first appt, early, had left cuz she forgot her paperwork. Next appt cancelled. I just worked on the crap I had, of which I had plenty. Enough to keep me head down all day working. My last appointment was at 5. Guy is starting a business selling auto tires online. Had a nice chat. No work for me yet. I referred him to an incorporator and invited him to come back when he had tax and accounting work.
Off to home. It’s Tuesday so I stopped at Lupitas for Mexican food. The assholes were out of Chile verde. Only our favorite. That place must be run by Mexicans, I swear.
Now we are watching bad tv, post dinner. I would rather just go to bed but Emily feels the need to stay up later. It’s a waste. Maybe I can sneak to bed without her noticing.
