I do have lots to do today. Right now, blog and watch TV. It’s exhausting. And morning TV is torturous.
I have already finished all my chores except a shower. If a shower counts as a chore. Maybe it’s maintenance. Maybe I don’t really care. Emiky went to school half an hour ago so I have time to do whatever. And I sit.
Marika is still asleep. She has some kind of appointment at 930. We are going to Visalia later today. Before that she is wedding dress shopping with Bella, her friend, our pet sitter. And before we leave I will be working all day. I’d rather go dress shopping. Never done it before.
Ok. So my wireless keyboard broke. By broke I mean it went wacky. The touch pad control sends the cursor crazy, keys don’t respond. Each one lasts about a year. I like a keyboard with the alpha keys, a 10 key number pad and touchpad, wireless, all-in-one. There is only one in the market. So I’m stuck. I ordered one last week. Was not here yesterday so I sent company an email. They have no record of my order. And, btw, this company is way old school. You have to fill out an order form on line and there system creates an email to themselves. It didn’t. Though I did get an order confirm from them. Which turned out to be worthless. Because their system is shit. But, they callled this morning and wasted 10 minutes of my life trying to convince me it wasn’t their fault. Sure. Who the fucks fault would it be? I finally just said let’s order another rather than waste more time. I think this company needs to be put out of biz. But, only vendor I have found.
Marika managed to drag herself out of bed A little after 9. Appointment with orthodontist is at 945. She had braces years ago, I know cuz I paid, and wants to get a new retainer to hold her teeth. I guess a good thing. Personally I don’t think much of the process.
I rushed off to work. I have two appointments and I need to be in early to finish some paperwork for the first appointment.
I got to work quickly. Got started on the financials and managed to finish up by the time client arrived. Client has a couple government contracts and I had to input the financial info from the general contractor into my clients financials. It was not fun. And the client is in a big hurry. So that adds to the fun.
Took two hours and two calls to the generals accountant to get all straight. My next appointment was a no show. Win for me!!
Balance of the afternoon was spent on tax returns. Managed to finish three. Wow. Now I just gotta get paid for them.
Had to leave early because Marika and I are heading to Visalia to visit Dad/Grandpa. We want to leave early enough we don’t arrive to damn late. Good luck there.
Cara and I had an errand prior to my going home. She is traveling to Mexico next week and needs to buy Pesos. My bank does that hers doesn’t. So we went to my bank and she purchased 14000 Pesos. Sounds weird but that’s what we did.
Headed home. It was still early so I encountered no traffic till I got to the causeway. And even that was weak.
Sped all the way to Dixon, picked up Taco Tuesday, and off to home.
Marikas friend Bella was still there. They had wedding dress shopped all day. We three ate, not Bella, and takes about whatever. Bella is a professional talker. She can really put it down. She hung for an hour yakking and kept saying she was leaving. Which kept us from leaving.
I should mention, my cat Pepto, who has been sick for a few months started bleeding out her rear end this evening. I texted and spoke to my vet about it and what’s been going on the past few months. We both decided it may be her time. She is 15 and has chronic bowel obstructions. And we have been unable to manage them. We are gonna give it a couple days and see.
We left at about 730 which means arrive at 1130. Too late. Emily texted about an hour into the trip. Cat is doing very poorly. She may take her in tomorrow.
The trip is long and boring. 90 minutes to go.
We got there. Everyone was asleep. So we went to.
