Ahh, first day of the week is full of awe. Awful? Has some awe. Awesome? I go with the latter.
I had a lousy night sleep woke at 130 and did not fall back asleep. I had some on again off again sleep, better than nothing, but no long sleep. Slept strongly from 6 to 630 when the alarm hit. And another 15 mins after till Emily decided to elbow me and ask how I was. Thanks.
At this point I got out of bed. Might as well. Gotta work my magic. I put the dogs out first thing. Although I had put the Cocker out in the middle of the night. He needs a keeper, me, to make sure his business is done appropriately. Outside. Personally, he knows no boundaries. The poodle can hold it but often chooses not to.
I got everything done this morning in good time. I had to pack a weird lunch for Emily. She is back on a diet of some sort. She seems to have created it herself so it’s difficult to pack for her. I don’t know how strong her will is for this diet but we will see very soon. Based on yesterday, I would say it may not work very well. I do wish her the best.
I finished my breakfast right after Emily left. And my coffee.
Got a text at 748am from a friend in Texas. That conversation went on till 850. Yikes. Obviously needed to talk to someone. Serious issues which started with a Charger RT and went onward to personal issues I won’t talk about specifically since anyone can read this. I turned into a psychologist quickly. I have lots of semi professional practice from years of bartending. Anyway, I was a sounding board and the voice of reason, yes really, for these issues. Sometimes it just helps to add perspective to a conversation. Most times there is no right or wrong, it just depends on point of view. Though this time, in my humble opinion, I could see a path that led to less damage to others. I wish I could dish but it would violate professional ethics. You know?
It’s already nine am and I need to get moving. No shower yet. It’s time. So I went to the computer and cruised Zillow with the 61 listing MLS our reqtornLinda sent us. I am good at using up time in he morning. But, after looking at 31 listings and noting the ones I want to see I decided it’s tome to get out of the house. So I did the SSS and headed out.
I drive the Crosstour today, Michael’s car. I first went to the gas station since the little gas light was on. I filled up and decided to get a wash too. Turns out the car wash is really nice. Brushless and very generous with the blow dry. Car got dry. I like it. And only $6.
I drive off. Can’t stay there all day. I drive to Davis and the Honda dealer. I wanted to get the kid a bumper cover for his rear bumper. They were strangely unhelpful in parts. Weird. We could not figure out the color of the part. I did later with pics from the internet. I even got Armando from service in on it and he was unable to help. I ordered a part anyway and made an install appointment for Wednesday. It’s gonna look sharp.
Ok. Now I drive to work. Gotta go in sooner or later. Right? I arrived at 1230. Kinda late but at least they get to see me. What a treat. For them.
I spent the day doing the usual paperwork. Thrills a minute, so many you can’t count. Ok, you can. What do you want from me? We did decide when Xmas office lunch will be. That’s big. No decision where, yet. Anyhow, the day was dull for the most part. Sorry.
I headed home about six. Nice drive in the kids car. Exact same model as Emily used to drive. Like going home. Hey, that’s where I’m going.
Dinnerbnot made when o got home at 7. Wife is fired. We did manage to get it made together. I guess she just needed a steadying hand. Lol.
I have spent the evening looking at Zillow listings as has Emily. We have found a few we like enough to go look at. I am going to call realtor Linda and make a couple appointments. Then I can buy one and stop looking. I would like that.
Time for a little bit of America’s dessert. That’s right, Jell-o. I think I have red. My fave. Then bedtime.
