Today started very early again. Emily got up super early and went to her sisters house to take a shower. Still no juice here. With that no water.
I got up at 730. Did my morning stuff like feed animals and then went to work out. I had skipped yesterday for various reasons. Mostly it’s the missing electricity screwing with my schedule and brain.
Today was also screwed up. Some electric and some other problems. The main problem, my phone did and would not download my formerly downloaded workouts. I mentioned the new phone a couple days ago when I got it. Anyway, I could not download at the gym for some stupid reason. I had to use an old workout I had in my texts.
I managed a weird put together set of exercises. I still don’t feel well worked out. After I was done, I hit the showers here. First shower in two days. It wasn’t refreshing cuz the shower was really not to my liking. The shave after, first in five days, was.
went to see the manager, Kelley, after. Still trying to get my workouts downloaded. Earlier, I had asked the visiting regional manager to help. Also asked another trainer and my new trainer too. Between all I decided to delete the apps and reinstall. Which I did. Did not work. But, the WiFi in the gym was screwy from the power shut down and we thought that was an issue.
So, I left. Went to get my first cup of coffee of the day. About 30 secs out, the WiFi dropped and all the workouts downloaded. It was like magic.
I drove to coffee. The Starbucks was a shambles. Very popular place when the power is out. They had 0 food but I did get coffee. Starting to feel human.
Back home. Took off the sweaty clothes and got dressed. Watered the dog and cats. And headed out to work. The stoplights are still fouled up but a couple more have gone normal. With most businesses back to normal some of the lights have retuned right normal too. It still took 20 minutes to drive hwy 49 to I80.
Got to work in good time. I had a client show up almost immediately and we spent a couple hours getting his return finished. Somewhat complex return with a combination of things – divorce, sale of home, like kind exchange – that make it more intricate and harder to put together.
I did manage to finish. He left with his return. I switched to others. By days end I had completed five more. And made 20 phone calls, sent a bunch of emails and texts. I’m just to busy and popular.
Got a call from Emily. We decided on dinner. Marika flew in from Hawaii and did text me a few times. A friend picked her up from the airport and she went to dinner.
I got a few things done and left for home. Emily called, the lights are on!!! Fucking A! Lights, heat, water!! Life is good. Drive home was fantastic because I knew I had normal life when I got home. The drive through Auburn was horrible. The road work seems to have ballooned. Lots of one lane sections. Orange cones. Lights. Slow cars. In my way. That part, not fun.
house was comfy again. Very nice. Still need freezers to catch up but it’s nice. I get my own shower tomorrow. We are happy. And we hate PG&E.
Marika got home toward 930. Her ride, Jutt, in tow. They were a little keyed up. At least she was. We had a nice convo about Hawaii and what she did. And what everyone else was doing. Sounded like fun. Hawaii is that way.
I next went to bed. Read and blog and sleep. And pet the damn cat.
