I skipped Thursday. Not living it, blogging it. Only thing of note was an early morning meeting in Sacramento with my dope clients. They aren’t dopes, they sell it. Well, maybe they are.
I was late to the meeting. I blame my nav system. Said 54 minutes but it took an hour and 20. Whatever. I sat through an hour of bickering and complaining. Most from the minority preferred shareholder who is really upset. Mostly because he invested in the company. Too bad.
Today, Friday, I have no workout. Why? The plumber is here to install a new water heater. 2 hours. He got here at 8 although it would have been easier if he had come earlier. But, some things can’t be helped. He actually had earlier appointments. I am just hoping I can leave and go to work. It’s deadline.
I did have an hour plus to kill once Emily went to work. I wasted it eating breakfast, checking mail, reading the paper and taking a shower. And taking a crap. Gotta get done, water will be off for two hours.
All done. Plumber got here at 8am. As expected. We are replacing our water heater and doing an endless amount of maintenance and little repairs. Some new faucet cartridges, leaky toilet, etc. he was only able to replace the water heater before running out of time. He had alloted only 4 hours. No big deal. He stayed long enough to get the new heater installed. He will be back in three weeks.
I left at 10am with plumber still working and went to my work. I have tax returns to prepare. Deadline is Monday.
Went to the Starbucks near my office on the way there. They were again, 2nd time this week, unable to give me the Nitro Cold Brew. Assholes. You would think they might comp me a drink, right? No.
Spent the entire work day doing taxes. What a shock. At it till after 6pm. I feel the need to spare the details.
Left the office. Headed up the hill. Nothing special on the trip. Emily finally called me, she has gone to yoga and got done about 7. We both drove home, dropped our crap, and headed to the store. Need supplies for tomorrow’s Beef Wellington. A pre birthday dinner. Couple friends are coming over too. Will be fun. Actual birthday is Tuesday.
So we had to hit two grocers cuz first one had no Crimini mushrooms. But we managed. It was 815 at this point so we found the nearest open food joint and got dinner. Ended up being mediocre pizza and a salad. Took it to go.
At home we unloaded out groceries and other stuff. Finally ate at close to 9.
I have to get up early to take the car in for glass repair. So I am not gonna staybup for bad TV. Just goin to bed.
