Today is the greatest of taco Tuesdays of the year. All summer Emily is off work. Unable and unwilling to drive an hour to our fave Carniceria, Lupitas, in Dixon. So all summer we limp along every Tuesday trying to find decent, and cheap, Mexican food as good as our fave. Well, search no more. Emily is back at work and tonight, pre movie, we get great food, cheap. I can hardly wait.
Our morning was a blast. Like usual. A mediocre night sleep and up super early for work. Sounds fun, right?
I managed to get everything done even though I am still trying to get back in the habit. Emily has meetings today so the district is providing breakfast and lunch. This means no lunch to pack. Ok.
Emily got out the door 3 minutes later than Monday. Wait, the school year is early and we will see how long this lasts.
After she left, I finished my coffee and headed to the gym. Stopped for gas on the way since my little light came on. While there I realized that the car wash might be brushless. Which means I can run my cars through it without damage. The brushes can scratch and I am very particular.
Ok. Gym. My workout, though short, was intense and uncomfortable. And difficult. And tiring. I suppose that’s the point. I texted the trainer and congratulated him on his workout. Spoke to no one while there, just did my thing and left.
I am home now. Doing the morning things, SSS. Will be off to work soon, I hope, with stop at bank and some coffee.
Well, zip down the hill was nice. Into Old Town to hit bank number one. My land mortgage is with Tri Counties and it’s an auto debit. So every month I am here. To pay. Joy. Next stop is my personal bank. Used to be biz and personal. They kicked my biz out. Kept personal. I went there to deposit a check from other biz bank to them. What fun. At least checks won’t bounce.
Ok. Next door to my bank is…Starbucks. U thought something else? No. It is convenient. I can not remember a visit to the bank that did not include a cup of over priced coffee.
Finally off to the office. Today I am in the convertible. I love driving too down though today is a warm one and you really get baked going topless. I do it anyway. Why else have a convertible? It’s a fun ride.
Nothing happened at work today. I just worked. Let’s skip to something I want to talk about.
I am leaving early today, by 430. Why? You may ask. Well, the kid has been yakking about the movies forever or maybe a week. Last night I told her I would go with her. It’s against my better judgment. I don’t really relish coming in late and getting up at 530. I usually feel like crap the next morning. But, only have one daughter. So we go.
Not much traffic on the way home, it is early. So it was a sorta quick trip. I beat Emily home, not tough. Marika made us dinner so we were done with all way before we had to leave for the movie.
Drove top down to the Regal. Funny story, I had no idea until a week ago that Auburn had a movie theater. Six months in town and I never knew. Great news, turns out Tuesday night is bargain matinee. Two tix were $11.90. Wow. We are seeing Tarantino’s latest biopic. I have high hopes. He usually provides real entertainment.
Theater seems clean though a little old. Sears have never been updated. The picture and sound were fine so I’m cool.
So, it was how? Well, 30 mins of ads and previews. 2 hrs 40 of movie. Prob coulda cut 30 mins but very entertaining. And raised many questions. And I did not fall asleep. Thumbs up. If u care.
Got home by 11 which is way past my bedtime. Will be very tired tomorrow.
