The littlest things can cause the biggest problems. If traveling by boat 350 miles and you are one degree off course, you would miss your destination by 7 miles. A small change makes a huge difference.
Why do I speak of this now? Well, in the mornings my timeline is set by what Emily’s doing. I time all by her morning as I attempt to speed her out the door and off to work. This morning she was 15 minutes late getting out the door which puts me same amount behind on what I do for myself. And every move just gets a little later. I did all the same stuff and woke up the kid at the same point in the morning but all later. So we end up at the gym later. And more people there. And we have to modify our workouts and it uses more time. And we are later. Which is why I did not set off for work till 1125. All this due to Emily being late. One degree.
My midday drive to work was very pleasant. Sun is out, top is down and freeway is not crowded. Makes for a pleasant drive.
Work is not so special. Or memorable either. As is often the case, I can’t remember five hours later. Has only one appointment, at 4, to fonover a notice a client received from the CA tax idiots. They want more money. Fortunately they are dead wrong. Still, I have to work to make sure my client does not get screwed. It’s a shit system.
A couple other appointments did not show up. Which does not bother me much really. It means I have free time. I usually squander it, but at least I get it.
I left for home at about 530. A short time after my 4 o’clock left.
The drive home was as nice as this morning. Just the right time of year for a drive. Not hit or cold. Just pleasant.
on the way jame, on 49, in Auburn, Emily pulled up next to me. She said later I had passed her 3 times and not noticed her. I don’t believe that. It’s fun to see her driving, for some reason.
Even though we were next to each other, I arrived home 5 minutes before her. I may drive faster. Not sure.
Good news. Marika picked up some dinner for us all. Actually, we had leftovers and she picked up some new top. F ine cuz I ain’t cooking. And it was delish, leftover taco wraps, leftover Asian beef wraps, tomato soup and tikka masala.
After dinner Emily and I packed for Cleveland. Ashley Sanford, daughter of very good friends, is getting married there on Saturday. There you have it. It’s a must go thing. We will be up at 430. Ouch.
