Did Not Leave Early

Up at usual time. I figure today I can get moving early since Marika is in Reno. I plan on leaving to work out when Emily leaves.

Don’t make plans.

Emily insisted I go down to the mailbox and get the paper. Then walk the garbage can back up on my way. This burned 10 minutes. And I got a call, which I would have missed, 5 more minutes. I did get out of the house finally, 5 minutes early.

I am having my shop wired for electricity. Today I got a call from my electrician in the parking lot of the gym just as I arrived. He was at the electric supply buying wire. He needed me to pay for it. Said the clerk would call. So now I waited at the gym for the call. 15 mins. Finally. Got it paid and finally got to my work out. Late.

Workout was fine. But, I am trying to get out to work early. Not gonna happen.

Back to the house after workout. I received two or three more calls. Work. Those ended up being 45 mins worth of mins bending problems. Jesus. Amazingly, there was a gap so I dashed into the shower. Got dressed. And headed out. Got a call on the way to the car. That lasted 20 minutes. Next I made a call which carried me all the way to the office. I got in late. 1145.

I have a lunch appt at noon. Duh. So I arrived in time to make that but get nothing else done before lunch.

Met new client at about 1205. Lunch went to 130. My day is going away. Back at the office I received 10 more calls. I have some issues I am trying to solve. And everyone calls.

I have a late appointment at 430. So now I am trying to get as many throngs done as I can before they get here. Also have to swap out my cars at the speed shop. Pick up the one that is done and leave my partially finished Fit. A project that won’t end. But I need time at the end of the day to get it done.

I worked on random things till about 406 when I received a call from my 430. They could not make it. Lovely.

Now I had about an hour to kill. I did random things and left for the weekend. Yay.

At speed shop I swapped out cars, talked to the boss, discussed what was left to do on the Fit. Only a few things. Might have it back before Thanksgiving.

Home at top speed. Got only as far as Home Depot to meet the electrician. I have to be there to pay for the supplies. I do nothing else. My electrician, Walter, will be at the house tomorrow morning to work on the shop wiring. It’s a big job. He will be here at 7.

Em called about now. She does not want to go out to dinner. I stopped on my way home and picked up nachos. At home we threw together leftover chicken and salad to go with the nachos. I made a couple old fashions and we have dinner.

Bad TV is called for after dinner. Especially in a Friday. Emily is asleep on the couch next to me. I am blogging and not watching the crap on TV. Very soon I am going to bed.
