Not exactly. It’s just Friday.
The morning was a thrill a minute. If you think making coffee or packing a lunch is thrilling.
Today I got up immediately when the alarm went off. I have a 10am appointment with an IRS agent. He would like to audit a recently ex client. Haha. I don’t have to be my normal self. I don’t care what happens. He is already a former client. Actually, I still have to do a good job.
I am up early because I want to workout as usual, but still get to my appointment on time.
Marika again begged off going to workout. Again, not surprising. She does claim, agin, she will go with me on Monday. Wait and see.
Got my workout done. Which took a bit of work. I did not have an assigned one so I had to improvise. Ran a little long.
Ran home. In the car. Got ready and out the door. It was at this point I knew I would be late. And I was, about 10 mins. But it was an IRS agent waiting so screw him. At least I arrived.
We did the usual, sat and chatted about the client and other shit for an hour. Then I gave him a place to sit and five bankers boxes full of crap to look at. Time to ignore him. He left four hours later. Back on Monday. Yes, auditors ARE that exciting.
I did have an all day, damn near, visitor. My friend and associate Hal came by around one. And stayed the rest of the day. He did not seem to have much to do just a couple things. But I guess he wanted to hang. If a friend needs it, u give it.
He left close to five. So did I. It’s late and we are goin out to eat. At Tin Lantern which is a family fave. Prob the six dollar cocktails are why. I’m home. Been sitting here waiting for Marika. Em is asleep in the chair next or me. What else is new? Marika is still a ways out. I’m anxious.
So I blog a little. Play with the cat that won’t leave me alone. Waiting.
Finally, she is home. I wake the wife. Groggy, she makes it to the car. I have to drive. Her car. I don’t like it. I almost feel lost driving to the place. She always drives. I don’t pay attention. Hence my confusion.
We do have a reservation which is handy. We arrive about ten in front of it. Table already ready. Drinks and appetizers! Except our waiter doesn’t show for 10 minutes. Almost went to the bar and ordered direct. We are straight now. She managed to get here. We ordered straight through to the entrees.
Strangely everyone was quite talky tonight. Lots of things to say. That’s fine, just usually quieter.
Our food and drink were good and worthy. We relaxed and ate and drank our fill. Our fill did not include dessert and we were also unable to finish our entrees. Those will go home.
Emily drive home. It was faster than the drive there. But she always drives so it makes sense. Got home and we all were ready for bed. End of a long week. We do hope to sleep in. Please.
