147.6 and 149.4. Amazeballs. 151.7 153.4 last week. On the much lauded two scale system. I have reached the Holy Land. Nirvana. Final Destination (not the movie). Yes, I weighed in today and the lead in of this paragraph is current weight. Thank you, I am amazed as well. No, really you are too kind. But, yes I do look fantastic. Thank you. Stop, you’re embarrassing me. Jeesh.
I have been on a diet forever. And that’s how long it took to lose the weight. Lose it twice really. I did spend six weeks in Europe during which I ate and drank what I wanted. And gained 10 lbs. Oh well, sue me.
So, where was I. Oh yeah. Dropped all that weight. So I had a fun size Payday bar for breakfast. And a handful of chocolate covered pretzels. Then a second handful. I was doing all my usual chores while shoving he goodies in. Don’t think I just stood there and ate. I would have but I need to take care of everyone else. After all was done and all fed and coffees and lunch packed I ate some peanut butter cookies. A mans gotta eat. But that was it. I got ready and went to work.
I got all the way to he German bakery, 2 blocks. Stopped and got a pastry. Ok, that’s it. No more junk. Till later. There is a cocktail in my future. Short term future. Tonight.
Made it all the way to work without another junk pitstop. I am strong willed, right?
Worked all day. Again. Boring, isn’t it? Every day it’s wash, rinse, repeat. Sucks had a client stop in to get a tax election prepared and filed. That was a blast. Not. Nice guy. I went to the bank to deposit some checks and it was closed for lunch. They actually close at lunchtime. From 1 – 2. Does anyone know of a bank that does that? I hate them. Flamed them on Yelp. Went back an hour later and they were done eating.
Back to work. I did the dance of the wild realtor. Our agent is getting the offer in today. I had to work with lending to get written pre qual. Done. Had to go back and forth with agent via docu sign to get offer finished. Done. Agent sent it to the other agents broker to take care of. Sellers agent went to New Zealand a couple days ago. But, done. Now we wait. I hope not long. I’m ready to move. In before Christmas, we hope.
Still working here. Funnest part of the day. Because it’s close to quitting time. Of course, I could just get up and leave. I do own this pile of wonderfulness. And a wonderful pile it is. It’s 430. Do a few things and hit the road. Ok. Did nothing. Had a conversation with some employees. Now gonna leave. Happy time!!!
Drive home traffic was bad. Very bad. Slow. And plenty stupid drivers. Which is not new.
Marika called. We had a nice discussion about dinner. Where to go or should we bring home? Or make dinner? Or go out for drinks. Or whatever. We ended up deciding to go to Winters and eat at the Buckhorn. Which seems to always be a good choice. Since today was off diet day o ordered a cocktail. Ate a whole bunch of warm sourdough with butter. Nice. Had a potato with dinner, first one in a year. So filling I couldn’t eat the whole thing. A hunk of halibut and some green beans. Mostly a diet dinner except for the booze and bread. We did not have dessert.
After dinner we walked up the street to Turkovich for our wine club pick up. We got the wine and had a few samples as well. And a taste of the dessert there. I really don’t like their wines but what the hell they are the local winery. We did not stay long. Emily left first, worried about the dogs. We have two cars here. Marika and I left a few minutes later. Drive home from there is under ten minutes.
Time for bad TV and some ice cream. With fudge sauce. Not good ice cream but I don’t care. After all this I gotta get some sleep.
