Again. Again. Nothing new happened this morning. As a matter of fact, this weekday workday may have been identical to almost all that came before.
Emily got up extra early this morning. So I did too. She seems to believe the weekend Tahoe traffic extends into Monday and she must get up early to avoid. I think she may be crazy. I don’t question her, there is no upside to that. She did get moving early which is good.
Marika and I got going early to our workout. Today trainer Pam took me out into the free weight and machine area. She wants to up the game a bit. I hate to say, it was not challenging. Almost easy. The aerobic exercises at the end were harder. I must talk with her. Tomorrow’s looks easy as well though it is self directed. Marika did her own workout and I didn’t see her. Tomorrow is spin class which interferes with workout room use. Good news! The gym is selling all their bikes and booting the spinners. Yay. Tomorrow’s class is only two people and they take the whole room. I say kill em.
Done. Drove home. I drank some of my new protein supplement which is supposed to help with muscle recovery. The nutritionist and my trainer both had suggested it. So far I see no difference. I will continue till it shows promise or not.
Got my self ready for work. Not tough, I’ve done it before. Got out by 1045 with gifts for Michael and Carly. We had finished wrapping it all last night. Today is the unofficial last day for ground delivery by Xmas. So off to the UPS store on my way to work.
The drive to work was a breeze. Since the rain was gone I drove the race car. I was able to get it going nicely. It’s been a couple weeks of rain since I drove it last.
Weirdly the UPS store had no customers. It’s shipping season and no one was shipping. Hurray for me, I was in and out in 5 minutes, $86 lighter for pick and ship. Ouch. Always a rip off.
Got to my office by 103 and my 1pm appt was waiting for me. He did not mind, I had called and said I would be a little late. He and I were just going over his account cuz he thought he had overpaid (he had). We did chat about recent legislation affecting his business. And complained about what morons the CA governor and legislators are. That’s a long conversation.
After client left I worked till 6pm and headed home. Nothing of great import occurred at all during the work day. Slow and steady nothing. Finished one corporate tax return.
Drive home was fast and easy. That’s strange. But welcome. I made great time. I also drove extra fast. That helped.
Marika had made lasagne for dinner tonight. With a nice salad. And some banana muffins (not dinner). That’s what happens to bananas when they go bad in our house.
After dinner Em and I wrapped gifts. I still have stockings to fill (and still do now) so I wrapped those. She took on the bigger gifts and those for my employee party on Saturday. About 90 minutes of wrapping. We did get a lot done.
I’m in bed now. Emily is snoring obnoxiously. Cat is sleeping on top of her. Good. Leave me alone. I am going to sleep.
