It’s 940 pm and I am finally in bed. I have been up since 4am. An easy 18 hour day, no problem. This morning it was not too hard getting up. I managed 7 hours sleep. Easy peasy.
The 50 mile plus trip to the airport only took 45 minutes. Marika made it earlier than needed. She is headed to Hawaii for a break while the rest of us freeze our butts off at home.
Well, after such an early start, I got to work very early. First thing, spent some time cleaning my desk. Went through my open tax files to organize them. Did some admin crap like make up the deposit and answer emails.
Tried to get some paid work done too. At 10 my first appointment started. One every hour till 2 pm. Appointments are nothing special. I go over their paperwork and ask questions. They ask questions. That’s it. Simple stuff.
At 230 I left to meet Emily at her work. We went from there to our old rental in Vacaville. We had to pick up two chairs we are having reupholstered. One went into my car and the other to Emily’s.
We drove next to Woodland. There is a furniture store there, on Main st, that sells furniture (duh) and reupholsters. We have been in there twice in the last ten days looking for things for the new place. Today we finally got down to picking out what we want. More than I thought it turns out. We need quite a few things. A large dresser, two nightstands, hall entry cabinet, credenza to hold TV and a coffee table. Not too much. When we moved out of the farm we got rid of everything and are throwing away even more from storage. So new furniture is a must.
When we were finally done I was ready for dinner. I wanted to go have a cocktail and dinner at a pub half a block up the street. Emiky wanted to drive home immediately and pick up bad fast food (is ther good?) in Auburn and take home. She won out cuz she whines. We went home. I picked up Papa Murphys, purveyor of poor pizza. And that’s our evening. Thrilling, isn’t it.
Tomorrow we are riding together because I have to pick up the HRV from the shop in Davis. It’s been in for a few days. All free repairs. Some warranty and some they owed me since I just bought it.
So I will be up in seven hours. Early to bed and early to rise, suck shit. But. Ow, bedtime.
