Lunching with the Wife/Empty Storage

The day’s objectives were simple: exercise, prep, run, work. Everything went as normal. Work went along just as it normally does. Mindy called mid-morning while out running errands to measure my interest in meeting up for lunch. We agreed to meet at P.F. Chang’s at Tuttle Mall around noon. The weather was a little cooler than expected, only in the mid 70’s. Mindy was sitting on a bench out front awaiting my arrival. We both ordered the pepper steak bowl with a cup of egg drop soup – a good bargain and very tasty. Mindy was excited to have her wedding rings back after 10 long days in repair at the Diamond Cellar. Apparently the two wedding bands were gnawing away at the setting of her engagement ring. The fixed it by soldering all three together thus eliminating the clash. Mindy shared that she had the guest room ready for Glenn’s use. We discussed dinner plans in brief, although she knows I’m never good at planning dinner with a full belly. She talked about grilling burgers. But perhaps weighing even heavier on Mindy’s mind was emptying the storage shed of the last few items. She made arrangements to meet b-in-law Larry there after lunch to give him an old dresser/mirror. She made tentative arrangements with neighbor Kenny to help me fetch the old refrigerator & table. We went our separate ways around 1pm. On my way back to work I stopped at Golf Galaxy to pick-up a bag of longer golf tees that are better suited to my new driver’s larger club head. The heavier than usual lunch hung with me all afternoon. And as it turned out, it hung with Mindy too. By late afternoon she called and asked if I minded skipping a formal dinner. Nope, not at all. When I arrived home, Mindy walked over to Kenny & Crissy’s to see if Kenny could still help us with emptying our storage unit. Mindy had already shared our intentions with the storage unit manager. We’d be vacating it that evening. Kenny was agreeable to helping. He and I left around 6:30pm, right after I finished printing off eight Cedar Point tickets ( 6-adult and 2-youth). On our way to the storage unit, I informed Kenny that I made us a Friday AM tee time at Phoenix. We really wanted to play Safari but it was booked for an outing. Maybe next time. It didn’t take long at all to get the fridge. We tipped and slid it onto his flat bed truck and strapped it down. Did the same with the old table. We sat waiting at the Fisher Rd railroad crossing for several minutes while they jockeyed some rail cars around. That took longer than the work. Kenny helped off load the fridge and table into our garage then headed home. Mindy and I didn’t stay up too late for busier days to come. We were in bed by 10:30pm.
