Who's ready to get back to work? I had to run out today and get back to work. I had a home inspection at 2 pm today so that was good to get out and get the ball rolling for that sale. We had a nice Thanksgiving, but it was more like an endurance test to get out and see people, which I liked, since seeing people is such a large part of my business.
The day started well, we went to the Beach to a favorite place to enjoy the time with friends and see an even that has become more of a festival. So we were there for a few hours, then went into town to see some friends. My husband and I took a more scenic route and took our golf cart to the event, but we should have taken the car.
So we show up, I am expecting a number of other couples, and instead find that its the owners of the house, us, and 2 other couples. It was not what I expected, and while the meal was nice, I did not eat much, because I was expecting to eat at another stop. So we ended up staying there for longer than we should have, and on top of it, we had to bring another couple back with us, further slowing the ride. We went to the next party via car. We had made a few libations before the trip, and this is where one of the guests went downhill.
For the 2nd time in as many outings with this person, we have served him scotch, good scotch, and he has proceeded to take turns for the worst. He gets so hammered, he cannot speak, or function properly in public. So he takes the scotch, which leads to anti-social behavior at our 3rd party, and we end up leaving because he cannot keep it together.
Our meal for the day should have been next door at 4, but our friends told us their oven allowed them to put the meal on early, they texted us, instead of calling us, and we never got the message until much later. This led to issues and possible hurt feelings as we were late and were to have provided part of the meal, which we did, albeit after the meal was consumed. Ugh!
So by now, we have a drunk guest, a pissed off friend, and we're still hungry. We then went to a nice restaurant in the neighborhood and had our dinner. We go there often and they were nice enough to allow us to have a meal at no charge, we ordered some wine and made the best of it.
Upon arriving home, the guy is not well, and needs to sleep off his day's worth of fun. For some reason one of the other guests decides to go into our wine cellar and take out expensive wine bottles and start consuming them. So we now have one guest who is sleeping and the other one who is essentially stealing from our house.
Needless to say, it was nice to be able to get back to work today.
