Today I spent most of the day doing my work assignments and waiting for the painter to call me.
The painter speaks no English by the way.
Or rather, he thinks he's speaking English, but he's really speaking Korean with every 50th word in English.

My car isn't ready yet, not until noon tomorrow.
I couldn't move my mom's stuff because I had to wait for the painter to call - there's no phone at my mom's house and there's no cell reception there, so I was stuck here.
I did get some stuff completed for the lawyer, and spoke to them about three times today.

We did sneak off to Circuit City real quick to get a wireless card for my laptop, then some books from Barnes & Noble to read on our trip.

The dentist called with an opening for Buffy, so we did that too. She gets a wisdom tooth pulled next week so they can get to the tooth that's hurt. I suppose that means I have to take another day off. Well, I worked 9 hours yesterday and six today, so I didn't actually take a whole week off. That didn't make things easier for me, but it was easier than actually being AT work.

So the painter finally called my cell phone when I was at the dentist with Buffy - my cell phone that barely gets reception, and we were right on the border of no cell reception at all.... so combine no reception with a Korean man pretending he's speaking English...

And what I THINK is happening... and I swear I don't know, I'm just hoping I got this right... I THINK that he's calling me tomorrow at 2pm to make meeting arrangements. I really hope I understood that.

But that at least leaves me open tomorrow to get some stuff done.

In the morning I register Buffy for school.
Take part in conference call for work.
Make copies of mother's house keys.
Drive Spike and friend to mom's house and start loading and unloading at the Goodwill.
My car should be ready at noon, pick that up.
Make sure I'm at my house at 1:30 to wait for painter to call.
Hopefully some time meet painter at mom's house to get estimate and give him a key.
Work on more probate paperwork.

If I don't get a great chunk of work done tomorrow I'm not going to be able to relax on vacation. I need to justify leaving. I think though that I can get enough done that if I finish up on Sunday, I'll have control of the situation.
