Moisture condensed from the atmosphere and it falls visibly in separate drops covering the ground quickly as to wash away all the dirt of the past seasons.
Non poetically, it’s raining. I forgot the forecast though I had been following it all week. Rain Tuesday. Then no more on the forecast, at least two more weeks. This is the first rain of the season so I expect lots of accidents on the way to work. Some drivers seem to forget how to drive in the rain even though it rained last May. People are double stupid when they get into their car.
I like the rain. It usually means snow and then skiing. I look forward to the winter. This rainy little precursor to the real winter is nothing more than a tease. But a tease can be fun too.
I think this weekend may be when I overseed the lawn. All the dead spots from the summers heat wave need fixing and patching. The rain is a gentle reminder that the days shorten and temps drop to where this is possible. I have been looking forward to the lawn repair. As much as one can look forward to yard work. I have had almost zero yard work since March, none since the big move. So this is going to be a little fun. Probably. The follow up on a reseed is then every day for two weeks or so. Just like kids. Watch em for two weeks then let them grow on their own. Am I right?
Today is shaping up to be a pile of steaming joy. I joke. I have a meeting at noon with somewhere between 2 and 12 people.
So the work day is done. Why not write during the day? Well, let me tell you.
On the way to work I made a stop to drop off some paperwork. Got a call, that lasted 30 minutes. Lovely. The world did not change because of it. I drove to work.
So I did some, very little, actual work when I arrived at about 1130. Just a few things, like straightening up for guests.
First arrival at near noon. One. We chatted. Second arrival at 1215. We continued worthless banter. Two arrived at 1230, for a meeting at 12, and away we go. I don’t like large meetings. Everyone feels they need to ask questions and look smart and participate. They don’t. But it does make the damn meeting that much longer. And they asked the stupidest questions. They are purchasing a clients business and this is part of their due diligence. But, wanting records from 10 years ago is idiotic. 3 years would be recent, any farther back and data loses relevance. It went like this for two hours. A complete waste of my time. I got tonthe point I was telling them emphatically what was important and what to ignore. These people are cray cray. And to think, there are 8 more in the group. OMG.
After these folks had left, my next meeting started. And did not end until 630. About four hours. Now we did have others join us during that span which lengthens the process but damn that’s a lot of talking. I was tired at the end and kinda had to push the last guy out the door.
I left immediately after. Time to get dinner, it’s Tuesday. Nice drive home which is the only relaxing part of my day.
Arrived at the carniceria just after 7. They weren’t closed and had plenty of food. Two very surprising things. The costillas de Puerco con nopales were calling my name – Guillermo, Guillermo!! Just like that. Only quieter. Carnitas for the bride. And that’s dinner.
Now I am blogging and getting mauled by my cat. In front of the TV. Although it’s not bad TV. Hey, it’s possible. I am going to go do the monthly bills. Then maybe some more OK TV. Or bedtime. I will report back.
