Great news!! It’s Tuesday so we are halfway to the weekend! Or I just wish that.
Managed to get Marika up for the workout. She moves like molasses in the morning. She wants to go but it’s a 20 to 30 minute process from first wake to her feet hitting the floor. I need an air horn. Hee hee.
Today’s workout looked easy from the pictures. Then I did the exercises. Maybe hardest ever. I am still in pin at 9pm. It kicked my ass. Marika is still crying. And whining. This shit better give me a fabulous beach body. The one everybody is jealous of. As if they aren’t already.
Remind me to ask Pam the trainer if she was aware of what a pain todays workout was. Trainers are mean bitches.
Went home and rushed through getting ready. I have an 11 appointment and have to be out by 945 to be on time. I am not noted for my timeliness. Could be where Marika gets it.
My drive to Dixon was uneventful. If falling asleep at the wheel is how that is defined. Maybe not fully asleep but I nodded several times. The problem is lack of stimulants. My doctor took me off caffeine, which includes coffee, so I am unable to wake myself up in the normal fashion. I really miss coffee. I do drink decaf but only because I like coffee. By noon or so I am usually awake. That is sadly after my morning drive to work.
Got to Dixon and made my appointment a few minutes early. I impress myself. My client, not ready and a few minutes late. She and I chatted a few and I left. Went for a cup of decaf. Filled my gas tank. Went to the office.
At the office my 1230 was already there. He was using a spare desk to handle his own stuff, making calls. Usual. When he was finally ready we talked for a few minutes regarding mutual clients and getting cases closed. We have a big payday coming up soon, within a couple weeks. I can’t say it’s immense but it will smooth the rough edges of life for a couple years. This case has lingered for about 3 years and to say I am anxious to close it would be a bit of an understatement. At end of our discussion on our cases we switched gears to discussing his tax problems. Number one being the state tax authority garnishing his wife’s wages. We made a call, I sent an email, I await response.
Client left. I switched to doing the usual crap. Had two checks in the mail from the phone company. They go with the other from last week. Not sure what that are for. I am not giving them back.
At end of day I went to the bank with Cara. Cash my checks and buy Pesos for Cara. My bank sells foreign currency and hers doesn’t. Nothing exciting here just an out of the ordinary chore.
I went back to the office. Got a call from Em. She has gone to the Dr because her eye hurt and she was light sensitive. Dr sent her to the emergency room. That sounded serious but she would not let me come to the hospital. She’s a pain. We stayed in touch and it turned out to be a viral infection in her cornea. She needs meds and needs to go to the eye doctor tomorrow.
Next up, go uphill. Drive was fine. It’s Tuesday, Marika is at work in her new job, Em at doctor, so I am going to get take out Mexican. Emily mentioned something joint near Raleys to get food. I finally found it after some driving around. Not very impressive, owner was an idiot, very good Chile verde, way overpriced. Not going back.
Took food home. I went ahead and ate. I’m hungry and not willing to wait. I ate the Chile verde. Emily came home 15 mins later, Marika 20. We all sat at the dining table and I got to watch them eat. Marika says many bad things about her brand new job. I think she will be quitting soon.
No bad TV tonight. Straight to be to blog for an hour. Read a little. Per the cat. Then sleep.
