Did not really sleep in today. Mostly I think because Emily got up. I find it difficult to stay in bed once she has arisen.
We really have little to do today, at least little of consequence.
I went to the kitchen to brew coffee and make breakfast. Emily went down the hill for the paper. A few minutes later, Emily arrived and Marika did too. Seems she went out to get donuts for everyone. She had been talking about it for a couple days and then yesterday she just slept in instead. I figured she was in bed still when I got up. Nope. I coulda skipped making breakfast. But, let’s be nice, we get donuts with breakfast. That’s cool.
After paper and coffee and donuts we started the laundry, took showers and got dressed. Did a little watering too. About 1 Em and I went to the Roseville Galleria. Seems there is some shopping that has not been done and we must do it. All I knew was Em had said let’s go to Tommy since all is on sale. We got there. And about five or seven other stores. For the most part it was just shopping and not buying. We did end up with two new end lamps and a blanket we exchanged for. About a four hour trip.
We went to Quick Quack on the drive back. Em has a subscription. I won’t take my cars there because I prefer a brushless or hand wash. We did get her car all cleaned up.
Home, about 530. I finally moved the water. Oops. Emily to work on school crap. I went outside and washed the Fit. She looks fab. I did everything but wax her. I do prefer someone else to wax the car. It’s too much work for me. I just don’t enjoy it.
Now we sit. The news is on. Emily, as I have said before, thinks the news is important to watch. I think it’s pointless. Never changing. Depressing. I don’t watch. But I can sit here and blog while Emily sleeps out loud. I don’t have to watch. Also, if she is asleep I can change from news to bad TV. That’s a win.
Turns out we are having quiche for dinner. I just spent the last 15 minutes washing veg. I guess I am not trusted to chop. So I washed. And left to blog and watch TV. She is working solo. Quiche is very simple to make. I am sure Em can handle it alone.
Marika just got home from work. Before 6. We’ll have 4 for dinner. She seems in a foul mood. Good for us.
We finished up the quiche, it’s in the oven. Marika ordered a Buster Brown Cocktail, have not made one in quite awhile. I had one too because she hates to drink alone. I had hoped for nothing to drink. Drink was still good.
Ended up making a French 75 for Talyr. Which means there is a bottle of champagne open. So now I am making Aperol Spritzes for all. See? This goes downhill quick. We managed to finish up dinner.
Next up would be dessert. But, it’s late, 830 and Marika can’t find her cat. So now she is wandering around in the dark, outside, looking for her cat. And very upset which is how she gets. Life would be better if the stupid animal would come home. Then I could have dessert and she would calm down. And my sleep won’t be interrupted. Of course, someday he could disappear. That would not be good.
Still looking for cat and it’s been over an hour. Marika is very upset. She just drove off to look for him, mostly cuz headlights help. It is nighttime. I really wish the stupid cat would show up.
Emily went to bed. I doubt she will sleep. The cat does not worry us. It’s Marika that worries us. Growing up our family lost an easy 10 cats to “country living”. Got so bad we locked up the last two in the house with no outside access. This is how she responds to a missing cat. She assumes the cat is dead and gone. Life shapes us and that’s what she knows. It is sad.
I have to go to bed soon. I have to get up early too. Furniture being delivered. Had to cancel my workout for Monday, change to Tuesday and add an extra day Friday. Life is complex. I’m going to bed.
