Monday is so blessedly wonderful. I love awaking to the sunrise and birds singing. At 530 am.
This morning was a morning like any other. Except no workout. Because the delivery guys will be here to swap out our dresser. As you may recall, the original was damaged and the manufacturer sent three new drawers. Great. They did not match. Manufacturer sent a new one. And I must say, it looks better than the first one. Thank you, Hooker Furniture!
This time the delivery guys were not so great. I mean personality wise. The young guy was unpleasant, to me and the other guy. The other guy was much older, nice enough, but all over the place like a dog chasing a squirrel. No worry, job done well even with the floor show.
And they arrived at 730 so that means no workout. Tomorrow back on track and Marika is going. She says. I do go early and she verified the time again today. I did not hear complete buy in.
I drove to work but stopped at the hardware store for a decorative not. Could not match it but got one same size. So at least my nuts will fit and be tight. For those who are worried about my nuts.
Next stop, shoe repair shop. The one that actually repairs shoes. Marika’s slippers needed a glue up, and they did a fine job. Well worth the $6 I paid.
I managed to forget picking up another cup of coffee. Go figure. Although I usually half sleep the drive down, today nothing. Maybe thinking of coffee woke me up. Pleasant drive.
On my swift travel down the hill, very little happened. I did finally get a call back from our RE agent, Kary. She is selling our land for us and I was checking in and goosing her a bit. I pay the mortgage every month and want it gone. So a little nudge just to remind her. She also had a plumbing referral for me so I can get started on a few of the projects we have around here. My regular plumber has basically quit on side jobs. Butthole.
I spent most of my workday on one tax return. Of course, seven returns feed into it which makes it quite the job. I billed about $5K today. And I’m not finished yet. It pays the bills.
I also had to make a call to a client who is very unhappy with how my worker Walker(haha) has been talking to her. I decided to switch reps for her. She is important and sensitive and I like to take of her. And all my clients. The fact she pays me more every month than any other client is not the point. Really. She was happy when I was done chatting with her. Let’s keep it that way.
Back to the grindstone. I worked till 5 on the return and went home. The drive was bullshit for the first ten miles then broke open and it was speed all the way. Love it.
Marika made some pasta with fish for dinner, it’s about ready and smells great. I am gonna go sit. At the table. Since she did everything. Hey, I wash dishes.
We enjoyed a fine meal. Marika insisted on opening a bottle of Chardonnay and since it was open…we had to drink some.
Marika and her friend Talyr left for trivia night, some bar in Davis. They are meeting friends. As they do every Monday.
I did finish the dishes. We had a little ice cream. Now it’s bad tv time. Reruns of failed sitcoms. From ten years ago. Not so good.
But I’m doin it. Then bed.
