We slept late this morning since Emily is not working. Yay to not working. This was not your usual morning. I slowly made dog brekkies. I slowly made coffee. Then made our breakfast. See, no lunch so not the same. But close.
We spent the usual morning, shower, shave, etc.
One exciting thing did happen. I was able to empty both cat boxes which is just incredible fun. Once the box is out I get to vacuum where it was. So it’s like double work. Very rewarding and the preface to a wonderful day.
I went off to work. I have two appointments this morning, at 11 and 12 and I would like to be on time. For a change.
I left for work. A slow boring drive broken up by my stop at the regional post office in West Sac. I had to drop off a letter that I wanted to get to the recipient fast. So go to main office. Anyway, the letter is to the owner of the house in Auburn we put an offer on. Turns out there was a second offer. Hence the letter to tell her how much we love her and the house and maybe boost our chances at offer acceptance. We hope.
The trip to the PO was a quick detour on my way to work. I did arrive exactly at 11 which is on time. For a change. I had called the client to tell him I was going to be a little late. So it’s a real win. The appointment was to review his new LLC. Which I did and then helped him to file an election to be taxed as a corporation. Small business Corp. and yes, it makes sense. But, we got that filed and out and him on his way.
My next appointment was with the son of a long time client. He owns a pizza parlor. He was not here for that. His father had sent him to have me take care of an administrative issue. So we had a chat about it and I got the crap done. And he was off. No more appointments today. I don’t have to see anyone else. I think that’s a good thing.
The balance of the day was spent on the usual crappy work tasks I do every day. All the fun stuff. Nothing of note.
I left for home at about 530. Halfway there I called and told Emily I was heading to Verizon to discuss our first bill. I had received a pre bill email and it was bullshit. Over $600 dollars. Not as advertised.
Got to Verizon prior to close, that was nice. Pheng was there and he took it upon himself to help me. He explained why the bill was wrong. Actual bill was $274. That’s better. He said I would be getting a real bill in the mail. I hope it’s more clear on how the billing works. He took in trade one of my extra phones and put $200 onto the bill. Nice. I felt better after talking to him.
Finally to home. Marika was home for the week. Dinner was almost ready. Emily asked for a cocktail. I guess her day off was tough. Don’t understand that. She cleaned house. So I made her a cocktail. That seemed to help quite a bit. Also opened up a bottle of wine. Spanish Tempernillo. Very nice. Bourbon and red wine to improve the day.
Emily made beef stroganoff served over baked potato. Had not tried that before. It was excellent. Dinner was fun with all of us there. Only takes that extra person to change the dynamics. And the wine helped too.
We watched a little TV. And then off to bed. I’m not that tired but the other two are. Not sure why. I guess time off is exhausting.
