Chile Verde

Monday is over. It wasn’t worth a damn. So I am ignoring it. If no one records what happened, did it really happen? The trees whisper a gentle no. Way to go trees.

Today’s workout, no trainer, was a butt kicker. I am sore and tired and generally beat. I think it may have something to do with having been sick the past few days. I’m weak because of it. At least I hope that’s why.

Btw, Marika did not workout with me. She is still complaining about pain in her shoulder from the last time she worked out. She has plans to see a medical professional tomorrow. He will probably say same thing I did – take ibuprofen and ice it. I coulda been a dr.

I got home and got cleaned up. Have to be in office by 11 for an appointment. Strangely, I have two appointments with brand new clients. One who called this morning. The internet is finally paying me. Bout damn time.

So off to work. It was a quick drive sans traffic.

New client not arriving for an hour. I spent the time looking at messages and emails and the usual crap. I have two IRS auditors bothering me for info and etc. I do hate them. I wish they would die. Naturally, of course. Like from poison or a gunshot to the head. A double tap, just to be sure.

Client arrived on time. Same time as my friend Bob showed up and said let’s go to lunch. Has to disappoint Bob. We are gonna go out tomorrow instead.

New client had an incredibly easy tax return and I was able to charge somewhat higher. Yay team Bill!! Nice lady. I like her.

The balance of my afternoon was spent doing the usual paperwork. Managed to finish another tax return, made many calls, answered emails. The thrilling and electric world of accounting. Be jealous.

My second appointment of the day, a retired couple, came by at 330. They had rescheduled the time from 430. Which is better. This being a first year return with the a lot of detail, I spent the first half hour typing and asking questions. Also reviewing the last years return was required. Usual. Lots of intricate detail to do put in place. Took another hour. I charged a really good price, for me at least, and they were ok with it. Nice.

Hey, good thing, the appointment lasted till after 5. I just finished up going through emails and headed home.

Other good news, my bourbon of the quarter shipment arrived today. And this one had three bottles in it. Where will I put it all? Into cocktails of course.

Headed for home. No traffic. Again. Had to stop for gas, the only slow down.

Emily was already home. With our taco Tuesday. Marika was not home yet so I thought it a great opportunity for a whiskey tasting with the new bottles. And it’s even dinner time which is the best time for liquor. Breakfast being a close second.

Emily has stopped at a local fruit stand as well and picked up tamales, cookies, and turnovers both apple and cherry. I think she was shopping hungry. We have lots of treats. They go with the chocolate milk she got yesterday. The woman is over the top.

Marika got home about now. She joined the whiskey tasting. Always clean family fun. Drink together, stay together.

Dinner was amazing. We love taco Tuesday, btw. I are all mine, the ladies not so. They provide leftovers for future lunches.

After dinner, u know, bad tv. Emily laid down on the floor for who knows why. She is currently snoring. Probably easier to just go to bed. Which is where I am going. Maybe I will leave her there. Turn the lights out.
