Yesterday’s deadline is gone. And forgotten. At least by me. Now I truly have little to do in the office. Maybe I can clean it up a bit.
Btw, I found a couple loose blog entries in my draft folder and just posted them, without any explanation. Hope I am not confusing anyone. If I am, lo siento.
Today is a weird day kinda. I got the usual, food and bev for Em and the pets. Kick her out. Chicken curry soup for breakfast. It works for Indians. Read a little news. Shower. No workout. Why? Today I have plumber and electrician coming over to fix crap and the usual problem, they gave me a window for arrival. Which I hate. Like the cable company – just take the day off for us. It’s rude but rude is how they do it. Right now, I wait.
Sparky showed up before 10. Which is nice. There is still the plumber at 10 to 1. That’s the window, not the odds. So, Sparky. He got there and went right to work. This guy was a little slovenly in appearance and 30 to 40 lbs overweight. Nice guy when he finally warmed up and started talking.
We have quite a few things for him to fix and or install. Off the top he made the patio light switches work together. And fixed the hot switch in the dining room. I had quite a few other items which were new installs like lights on the patio and a new 4 gang receptacle and breaker. Other things too. We realized halfway through he would be coming back to finish up. Maybe next week.
Once the electrician left, all that remained was a visit from the plumber. At 1045 he called, he was 40 to 50 minutes away. Great. Now at least I can plan my day. Here by 1230. I got a call at 1240, his truck had broken down. So I waited almost 3 hours for dick. That is how it goes. They said sorry like that’s enough.
I left for work. Got there by 130 so there is little time for work. I managed to finish a few tax returns and little else before I left at 5. Pisses me off. I did receive a half case of wine in the mail. Cab Franc. Good stuff.
Headed home at a quarter past. Nice drive home. Very little traffic. Everyone was there when I got home.
Marika is making Asian lettuce wraps for dinner. It’s so nice when she makes dinner. I don’t have to do much just wash dishes.
Dinner was great. Very tasty. The new wine was the perfect accompaniment to our dinner. Actually, perfect with anything.
Emily went to bed early and I followed up. I am tired even though the day was short. I am having trouble staying awake. So maybe go to sleep?
