Ugly Sandals
I was tired this morning. Not feeling well. Late for work. You know - the usual story. So I was a little groggy as I took my cooler and briefcase out to the truck. I had to go to a hardware store to pick up a few things before going to a project site to meet with an inspector. So after about 30 to 40 minutes of driving I was pulling up in front of Lowe's when I suddenly noticed that my feet felt funny. I looked down towards my fidgeting feet and suddenly my stomach sank as I realized that I was still wearing my ugly brown leather sandals over my white socks. Don't you hate it when that happens? I felt a little like Einstein outside his front door in his boxers. Thank goodness I had a ratty pair of sneakers in the back. Otherwise I would have looked rather unprofessional. Not to mention that it would have been really difficult to climb those ladders onto those roofs today. Yikes.
There's a loooooooot going on out here right now. I have 3 on-going projects right now, with two more starting very soon. The 3 current projects are all supposed to be open for business next Wednesday the first, and it isn't going to happen, but my bosses and customers are in denial. So I keep pushing along trying to get it done. There's a lot to these stories, and I won't get into it all now.
My condo is getting tantalizingly close to being done. I can't even begin to describe how badly I want to be done and have my own nice place to live. Holy cow. I can't wait. And then soon it will be OUR place to live.
My brother and his wife are moving out this weekend. They close escrow on their house tomorrow. My parents are moving in this weekend. They are finally retiring. My other brother is coming out to visit for the very first time this weekend.
I'm going up to Canada in late August and I am coming home with my DFW :) That's another big milestone that we've been looking forward to for a long time. We'll be moving right into the condo. And with the work done, we'll have plenty of time to explore, join a gym, find some good hikes, and just generally start finally building a life together. I'm really looking forward to the rest and relaxation.
And I think I'll leave it there on that happy note. It's beddy-bye time for Mike.
