The misses worked and worked for the past 3 days virtually non stop. I should have been paying her instead of Harry she did so much. When I asked her why she did all this work she said she felt bad not helping and wanted to learn about the tile. The problem was Harry took this to mean he didn’t have to “finish the job” and I think in his mind figured the misses was supposed to do half the work. If I was home I would have told her not to do such and such and reminded Harry what we (he) agreed to at the start of the job. The one common theme with workers these days seems to be that they all forget what they agree to at the start of the job and then want to renegotiate or do less than what was agreed to when it takes longer or seems harder than first anticipated. Oh well, it is what it is. I’ll jump in and help her finish the job and we’ll move on.
She picked me up and then Jag and I dropped her at the Brown Palace and were supposed to get her at 1:30. One of the girls coming to the tea was almost an hour late so she texted saying she had a ride home and would be a bit late. The boys and I then headed off to 2 hours of baseball tryouts and I unfortunately left my phone in the car. When I checked it I had 13 missed calls from the misses! Turns out after going to another friends remarkable 1900 something mansion in Cherry Creek after the tea, our Aspen friend had one too many glasses of champagne and didn’t feel comfortable driving the misses home. So she was stuck downtown until 4:30 when we could pick her up after tryouts.
We finally made it home after 5pm and threw on some steaks and settled in to the construction zone for some much needed rest. I think everyone in the family had no more than 4 hours of sleep the night before.
Even though I was tired, I have to tell you about how I fly and get through airports these days. Remember I’m now a 1K Premier, the highest level on United. Well much to my surprise, I’m now also a TSA Pre Screen meaning I go through a super duper special line that is really no line at all, I don’t have to take off my shoes or belt or jacket, I don’t have to take my laptop out of my bag or even take my liquids out or put them in a plastic bag! I had no idea as this must be a new program, all I know is it makes me happy happy happy! It’s like flying 25 years ago with no security! When I asked how I was lucky enough to get in this group, they told me it was because of my status, whoo hoo! It literally saves me almost an hour on each flight, plus I hate freakin standing in line, any line!
Today we’re all going to the Bronco game as we go as a family to one game a year. The misses would rather stay home and work but she needs a break even if I have to force her to take one. I should send her to the spa as she says everything on her body hurts, even her teeth!
My meeting was great in Seattle, probably the best one in ten years, humbly thanks to me. Anyhow, glad its over as it’s a lot of work and pressure.
It’s almost October and we could have snow this week, they say as low as 7000 feet. Today though will be a super nice day.
So time to run, lots to do, take care and God Bless.
