storytimewithjoe | A moment to think...

Hi world.

I just came back from lunch at Taco Adobe with my husbear. Lunch was pretty good, actually. The restaurant is in walking distance of the house. It looks a little odd because the building is very obviously an old IHOP that has been converted into a loudly-painted Mexican restaurant. We met with a financial planner who was giving us a presentation on what his company does in terms of financial guidance. I am thinking we should take advantage of their services. Gods only know, we are really bad about not knowing where the hell our money goes. And wouldn't it be nice, actually, to be able to retire someday?

The meeting that I had scheduled for this evening got rescheduled which makes me a very happy camper. I will take advantage of day-light hours to continue staining the deck. As I expected, the deck staining is taking its own sweet time. The only really good way to do it is, unfortunately, by brushing. The results are great, but it is a slow process. My husbear did an awesome job yesterday, and managed to get quite a bit done. I am hoping I can finish the other half tonight, which will just leave the lattice-work. The latticework is a proverbial beeyotch to do, but at least can be done at a somewhat leisurely pace.

Tomorrow night - a going away party
Thursday night - shopping and food preps
Friday night - a play
Saturday night - dinner party
Sunday - all day meeting.

Never a dull moment in my world.
