At least, at the moment, no dogs. Later I hear it will be both.
Have received only 15 or 20 texts from Marika so far. She is changing her plans. Again. She kills me. Changes her plans like she does her underwear. The fortunate thing, she shares this with us so we can at very least provide some perspective for her. If this were her brother, we would never hear a thing. At least I have one. She’s the favorite.
This morning we actually slept in till 830. Can you believe it? I can’t. When did that happen last? I can’t answer that but I know it was long ago. Today it’s raining and we are running errands around town. One thing is pick up packing boxes and tape. Need to get ready. Big move a coming.
Took doggies to Shari for a groom. She is in Woodland. My dogs smell bad, duh, and need a cut. Today is the day. While in Woodland we are going to the furniture store and running a few extra errands here.
So we went to the furniture store, Wirth’s, since it’s only a couple blocks from Shari’s. We wandered around trying to find mid century type furniture for the new pad. They do have a particular chair I am going to buy for the new house. It’s aircraft aluminum and leather, almost a butterfly chair, very nice. Not buying till we are up the hill. Found a hallway table and maybe another chair. Once fully in we will have a better idea of what we need.
After futtniture we went to Home Goods for nothing important. Emily bought a stool for her makeup table. But not much else.
After Home Bads we went to Home Depot (home to home) for moving supplies. Boxes, tape,and paper. I am going to fill them all tonight just as a first shot at getting moving. I don’t want too many boxes or I have to keep working.
Next to In n Out for Emily. She just had to have lunch. I brought snacks. She had a burger and fries. I don’t really bother with substandard fast food burgers. I eat good food or skip it. Makes me happier.
We drove to Shari’s. She hasn’t called but we are out of errands so she gets to see us early. Jax was on the grooming stand as we arrived, shaking violently, the usual. And to no ones surprise she was having quite a time rimming him. The dog is a pain in the ass.
She quit on him and switched to Latte. Latte is easier but only because she is smaller and doesn’t shake. She is still difficult to trim especially around her face. We jave to shave her face because the fur really bothers her.
Headed for home with doggies in tow and all our crap in the back of the car. Home we unloaded the dogs and the cargo. I hope to fill the moving boxes tonight. But somehow I think this will not happen.
I had some work to do when I got home. I had to post my AR to my automatic collection system. I have a small window of opportunity each month to do this. If I miss, no money. Well, window opened today. I logged into my office server and started. Unfortunately the connection was like molasses. Took 90 minutes to finish. But not a will receive tribute. Again.
After that oh so satisfying chore, I started on dinner. We have a NY steak roast, asparagus and taters. Took awhile but it’s done and quite delish. I did cook the meat a little rarer than usual but not bloody I had to microwave it.
After dinner we sat in front of the tube. Watched The Simpsons which was really unfunny and not worth the time. I am watching good TV, which I thought a unicorn. So, I guess not.
I am going to bed before it’s over. I’d still rather read.
