A good thing today. It’s Tuesday but it’s the first day of the week. So only four days and we started with Taco Tuesday. This is good. Emily was in Woodland at her Dr. X-ray of her smashed wing. Dr not sure if it’s broken. She has to go back in a couple days. More X-rays. But, the positive part, the uptake – we get Salvadoran food for taco Tuesday. Is that awesome? Yes. Since Marika left Santa Rosa we no longer go to Don Julio’s there. Greatest Salvadoran food ever. And we have not been there in well over a year. So, today was a joy. We had pupusas and nachos a la salvador. Just fantastic. I must tell Emily to get her next X-ray on a Tuesday.
The only other excitement was I had a Belorussian contractor come by and bid on my kitchen and the concrete work. He returned the concrete estimate in one day. He is the current leader, price wise. He is also recommended by someone we know. Anyhow, Dimitri (Dima) came by. His father in law, Sergei, came too. We had a nice walk around through the two jobs. Guy seems very serious. No smiles. No laughing. And I tried hard. Did not break him down till he was on the way out. He did have several good ideas on how to accomplish what I wanted to do. Also thought running the new gas line would be easy. I like easy. Rhymes with cheap. As cheap as the concrete bid was, I hope the kitchen is too.
That’s all I had that happened Tuesday that I am able to remember. Kinda sad. But, currently, all I care about is getting my house in order. All other things are not so important.
Wednesday is really packed. Especially in the am. I am supposed to meet my trainer at 730, then I have an 8-12 window for the appliance people to survey my kitchen, at 9 I have the last concrete guy coming to bid. At 10 esthetician’s and haircut in Dixon. She, busy. So how did that go? At 9 I called the concrete guy, he said oh yeah how bout tomorrow at 5? Dick. Ok. I then called the fucking asshole morons at Best Buy about my appliance appointment. My confirm email said I would receive a phone call. I didn’t. So I called. I spoke to three people in the next 30 minutes. All wanting me off the phone. Two directly lied to me. The last one told me how the system worked and even though I made an appointment it never “automatically “ became a work order. An appointment with no one coming, basically. He apologized. Like that helps. He had no fault and he has to say sorry. He made me another appointment and pushed it through to work order status while I was on the phone. Has to call esthetician and barber and reschedule till the afternoon. The whole schedule and nothing got done. I missed my workout too.
I went to work. Stopped to treat myself to coffee. Got in about 11 and I have to leave at 215 for postponed appts. Lovely. I hate all these people. And none even care.
So, work. Boring. Nothing going on. Carol asked for a raise. She just graduated. Wants more. Don’t we all. Short conversation. We had discussed all this last month and I knew what was coming. I just did not put it in place so I could delay spending the money.
I kicked her out the office door so I could leave for Dixon and get my hairs plucked and cut. The usual. I look fantastic now. Becky and Rachel are. It’s doing well. Rachel’s baby daddy left her last month but she has regained her strength. Nice to see.
My buddy Jim saw my car in town and called me. Just to make sure I knew I was seen. Like I never stop by.
Went home. An hour and a half drive. I had to stop and pee on my way it took so long. Got the mail when I arrived. Cool news, little Ashley Sanford (Doug and Shelley) is getting married!! She was Michaels best friend growing up. They lived next door to us on Monk Ct. The wedding is in October in Ohio. That is tough. But, we are still going. Not sure about Marika but I will show up alone if I have too. Just to witness. I have already shined my shoes.
Not much else there. I did text out the news to the entire family. Not that any pay attention. But I forced it.
Randy is back after five days in Bakersfield. His fiancée graduated from college and he surprised her by showing up. She cried so he wins. Anyway, one more for dinner.
I am in charge of dinner tonight. Leftovers it is. I got the baked fried chicken and the enchiladas. And a nice salad. Perfect. And wine, since it’s there.
Well folks, that’s my excitement. I did not watch bad TV. For a change. Or good TV. We went to bed early. Then 55 minutes of blogging. I am gonna sleep. Now.
