I was up early. By 630. But, since I slept so poorly, I went back to bed for another twenty minutes. Then I got up and stayed up. Fortunately, Emily is still home. I fed the cats, only. I fed myself only. I made coffee for all. And then Emily had tea. She is spiteful. The offshoot, I was ready early and out the door. Got to the office at 910.
Today is a shortened work day. I have to be in Auburn at our agents office by 230 to 245 so I will be leaving at 145. I will need to work somewhat efficiently with my time. I need to get at it.
As is usual, I got going and then got interrupted 10 times while attempting to do work. I managed to get through all my emails from last Thursday through this morning. As you may recall, I took last Friday off. So lots of emails. I hate them.
Managed to plow through a lot of work, nothing notable of course. It’s 835 and I have forgotten what I did. My life is spent in utterly mundane office tasks and they are totally forgettable. But it does pay the bills.
I left the office at about 145. Had to stop at the bank and make a deposit. Line was horribly long and slow. Took till past two. So now it’s guaranteed, I will be late.
The trip to Auburn was bullshit. It’s the middle of the damn day, the traffic is thick and people are driving like assholes. Not sure what is going on. It was truly harsh defensive driving all the way to the exit. And, even worse, hwy 49 was crap too. The first six miles was again thick traffic and a bunch of jerk offs driving crazy. And I had to put up with it. Just past Luther Road the traffic broke and I hit the gas. I made it to the house on View Way in record time. That part of the road was a blast. I was 3 minutes late. Close.
Everyone else was there. Emily, agent Kary, and Marika who just tagged along. The house is as impressive as advertised. An immaculate mid century modern home. All is new again. And beautiful. We walked around it for an hour and a half. So what was the take away from our visit? We are not going to put an offer on the Stanley house. Offer was due today at five which was why we rushed up here to see the View Way house. But, having seen this one, we decided that Stanley was not good enough. Tough choice, but it’s true. Our agent told us before we thought of it ourselves. She is right. It’s a bad idea to buy a house you are not committed to. One that you don’t love. Like getting married I guess. Don’t want to end up divorcing a house. But we do love it. It’s a little expensive. We shall see.
The drive home ended about 3 miles from the house. We went out to Pho King for pho. Duh. Have not been there before and for some reason Emily wants pho again for the third time this month. So we stopped for pho. Emily ordered won ton soup. Marika and I got pho. Excellent meal but seemed too expensive to me. The Vietnamese ice coffee was excellent.
The drive home was boring and fast. So that was good. Emily called, her tire light had come on. Y chromosome required. We stopped at a gas station and I aired up her tires while she sat in the car. Like I said, takes a Y chromosome. While there I noticed my tank light was on so I tanked up.
Drove home. No excitement.
We sat around watching TV for a time. Emily fell asleep in her chair. That’s always funny. It’s now time for bed.
