It’s here. Hawaii day. Yay. Marika is heading to the islands. Specifically, Maui.
The best part, I get up at 4am to set all my stuff done and get her to the airport on time for her flight. We planned on leaving the house at 5am. So did Marika get up at 4? No. I did. Because I have to do a few things, like usual, only an hour and a half earlier. You know the drill, feed animals, feed wife, make coffee. Near five I wake up Marika and try to get her moving. That’s right, at 24 she still needs a kick in the ass to get moving. I had to re wake her later. And again. She misses the point that this impacts my schedule too. I really don’t give a shit if she misses her plane. Not my issue. But I have scheduled my day around this early trip to Sac.
She did finally get and get ready. We left at 520, not 5. She slept the whole way to the airport. Surprise.
After I dropped her, back to Auburn. I have time to workout. I realized I had left my gym access key at home. A small 20 round trip from the gym. Lovely. Em and I had a nice conversation on our respective drives. Her coming down and me going up the hill. It’s still dark out. We passed on hwy 80, she saw me I missed her. Kinda weird.
I went on home and got my key and did a U to the gym. Had my awesome workout. Very strange without Marika. She does keep the workouts going and I never have to guess what we are doing. Does help. Got finished in an hour. Did not feel pushed. I would prefer being pushed a little but my trainer moved to Indonesia. New trainer starts next week, and my first session is Monday.
it’s now Tuesday at 10 pm. So I am going to skip the intricacies of my day and just go over the high points. Yes, there was a high point. Skipping the rest is mostly because I don’t take notes and can not remember.
The high point. I was running errands today and dropped my phone on the way to my car. On the concrete. Hit on the edge and destroyed my cover. Phone was fine. I am sure everyone remembers my hatred for my current phone. I did not choose it. But I did pay only half price. Today, at end of day, I went to Verizon, nearest phone place to my office, for a cover. Since mine was obliterated. Their cheapest decent cover, $100. Ok, only $99. But, still, a lot. I want a different phone and now the new models are here I asked how much for the older one I want that they still sell. And, btw, I have this iPhone and a second as well much older one to trade. They gave me $370 for the two. Leaving me to pay $200 for a phone I want. Or buy a cover for $100. New phone.
The gal who helped me was brand new to Verizon from ATT. She struggled. The store closed while I was waiting. I got the new software loaded and backup restored and just had to leave. Set up was not done. No big. I been around the block before. I can do it later. I went home. Dinner calls.
Got home. Home, that’s where I discovered the phone worked, on WiFi, but the phone did not make or receive calls or texts. I just love a good fuck up.
Well, no yelling, I made dinner. I broiled the pork loin chops I put in marinade last night. Also a very nice salad. Emily isn’t moving, back still hurts. Taking tomorrow off even. We had our dinner, pork was fabulous. I did finish setting up the phone. It does work. Just not as a phone. I assumed it was failure by the rookie to code the phone. Whatever.
We watched some TV after dinner. And went to bed early.
