Ying and yang...

So the day started with me driving to Durango to meet with our supplier's truck to pick up some back-ordered stock. Unfortunately, the driver was not Carlos, the regular guy, so the rendezvous was late. I took the opportunity to go visit the Office Depot.
It was getting on about 10:40 by the time I got home, and by this time, I'd gotten a phone call from a client who needed the job that had been due at 3 pm delivered ASAP. Fortunately, I'd done the job last night, but unfortunately, I figured I had until this afternoon to send it in. (Actually, I did, but as I said, the client wanted it sooner.)
Galina was at the house, looking for this and that, and finally she left for Houston around 1 pm. I am told this is a good thing, because the weather frauds are predicting a world-class snowstorm hereabouts, and soon.
Try as I might, I could not get myself to sit down and do the last 5 text pages of the job, at least, not until about 6:30 pm. The good news there was that we're not talking a lot of time, here.
In the meantime, I watched a little TV and detailed the first concrete steps in my Master Plan™ for eliminating our consumer debt. That was fun.
I also managed to find the small portable electric heater that I'd squirreled away in the mud room, so that now, I have a stream of warm air rising from under the desk I'm working at (instead of having to deal with the heat flux coming from the room heater that's installed at the other end of the room... almost in New Mexico, fer cryin' out loud!... ).
Anyway, it's time to wrap things up and get some rest. Despite the lack of apparent forward motion, it's been a busy day.
Cheers...
