Diet, day #21,260, or thereabouts. Let’s face it, diet and exercise and keeping yourself where you want to be is a lifelong adventure. Which is sad. It will never get easy.
I weighed in this morning, a Wednesday ritual. I am up 3 lbs over last week. It’s saddening but I will probably trim it off this week. That seems to be how it goes. And, a quick weight gain let’s uou know how out of whack you can get, quickly. Got to stay on it.
Usual morning. Only difference, neither Emily or I wanted to get out of bed. Wait. That’s every day. Okay, no difference today. There was nothing done today to differentiate this work day morning from any workday morning in my past. Ever.
So did all the usual stuff. And I’m off to work. The drive was normal. Except I stopped in Dixon on my way to get my haircut. Had a nice chat with Becky and got an inoculation of local gossip. Always fun.
After my haircut I went to the coffee place I visited yesterday. This time they paid attention and sold me a large cup of coffee, extra hot. Still delicious like I got in Europe. But, unlike Europe, this was 6$. I don’t understand. But I like the coffee. And the place was busy so I guess others don’t care about over priced coffee.
Off to work, drive still normal and not exciting. Just the same every day. It always seems I blacked out on the drive and woke up when I pull off the freeway. I think I would crash but seriously, the drive is boring.
My day was full. Of work. I did not get my jacket off and I was back out the door to the bank. Had to send 55$ grand to Austria. Yodeling lessons. You know. Seriously, for a client to pay for some equipment. Not exciting but it pays the bills.
Left the bank, decided to get my car washed. They were closed. Assholes. Sunny, clear weather and they close. But, next door to car wash is Total Wine. Worlds largest discount liquor emporium. So I went there. I want to get a bottle of extra special bubbly for Marikas graduation. Her very last test is tomorrow. And college is a memory for her. We are thrilled for her. Now it’s job time. And in forty years she can retire. The end of childhood. That part is sad. That’s why we celebrate.
The champagne was priced low, only $137. Yes that’s cheap. There were many bottles over $1000. Wish I could afford them.
Back to work. Had plenty to do. Usual shit, calls, letters, etc. nothing out of the ordinary. About the same as my drive to work. Kinda boring.
Emily called late. Wanted me to go to the Mercedes dealer and pick up a battery for her key fob. So I headed over there. Big surprise, the battery only cost 3$. A Mercedes bargain.
Then to home. Long boring drive. Only in the dark. Not much fun.
Home. Not much to do other than change the battery in Emily’s fob. I ended up resorting to a you tube video to get it done. The instructions from the the Mercedes guy were not workable. I did manage to do it. I am not totally lame.
We had dinner. Emily didn’t finish because she didn’t like it. She made it, her issue. I thought it was fine. I ate all mine so I got dessert.
We watched a little TV And went to bed.
