Hey there party people. It’s been quite a roller coaster weekend for me. Friday I got to leave work early as I planned. I was working with a crazy maintenance person. He was cussing to beat the band. The funniest thing that happened was he hit his head and about a minute later, he said shit that hurt. He is from Russia. I am glad we got the job done because I just wanted to get away from him. He wasted a bunch of cable – but we got the job done so that’s all that matters.
I left work at 3, went to Best Buy and got some iPhone accessories for my partner’s phone. I thought I’d surprise him. Yeah big surprise, one of the items I got was wrong so I had to take it back and get the right one, cost me more money. I should have went with my gut and could have avoided a trip back.
I headed over to another store while I was out to pick up some boxers and jewelry cleaner. I like all different types of underwear but boxers seem to be really comfy and the boys can hang out.
We went out to eat because I didn’t give him advance notice that I was coming home so early. Steak N Shake for chili & burgers. Not too bad. Washed it all down with a shake.
Then it was off to the home improvement store to rent a carpet cleaner. Yeah, I did this earlier in the month. So this was more maintenance than anything. I worked my ass off upstairs and my back is killing me for it. My partner was having breathing problems, you’d think he did the work.
I got him to bed to lay down, turned up his oxygen and kept checking on him over the course of an hour. Finally he felt better. I took a cold shower because I was hotter than hot. I sat down with the kids and we watched some more Flashpoint. Finally went to bed.
Woke up the next morning, took my partner to breakfast he felt better. I thought things were looking up. We went back home and I rested for a bit, watched even more Flashpoint. Then finished up the carpet. He was working on his computer.
Got ready and took the carpet cleaner back, headed to get something to eat. Then back home. I had to launder my partners bed clothes and all I wanted to do was sleep. I took care of getting them started. Took care of the trash and then I just collapsed.
I told him that he would have to sleep on his bed w/o a sheet because I was just too tired. So I went to bed, about my normal time. Woke up at 2am to hammering. Guess who fell out of bed?
I spent about a half hour getting him up. Then I had to wind down to get myself back to bed. I had plans of getting an early start so I could have a nice relaxing evening but that changed it all. I wound up sleeping in way too late.
I got a shower and checked on him, he was ready to go eat. So I suggested a local place and we proceeded to get there. However, in trying to get into the truck he slid right out of the seat and on to the ground. I tried to help him back in but he’s just a bunch of dead weight and I am so out of shape. Had to call 911 to get the fireman to come and help him.
The only good news was one of them was a twink, couldn’t have been over 21. Damn, nice to look at. It was all of 2 minutes and they had him up, packed in the car and they were on to their next call.
My bigger concern was how will he get into the restaurant and then back into the truck? I mean we can’t have the fire department follow us around. Well, it all came together. He moved slow and I got out a walker for him but we made it. Thank God!
All I wanted to do when we got home was rest. I was once again exhausted. At this point I had spent no time in front of the computer, having any kind of fun myself – it was all work and no play.
Had to finish up the laundry, then time got away from me. I went to the grocery store, came back to put it all away and prepare for yet another day. Jesus, so much for an enjoyable weekend.
The good news is I got to watch, you guessed it more Flashpoint. I so love that show and especially David Paetkau, who plays Sam Braddock. Were only a year and a couple months apart in age. Too bad he is in Canada, married and straight. Ah, well I can look – right!
See what I mean, he is totally HOT! Flashpoint from what I have read got a 5th season so hopefully that makes it’s way to Netflix. Right now I am on the 3rd season. I just can’t pull myself away from it. Not just because of David/Sam but because it’s an intense show and I’ve got a love for Law Enforcement.
I drove in today, to get all of the equipment I took with me on Friday back. Wish I was leaving again this afternoon and not coming back for a couple days. Nothing far away, just local work. Ah well, maybe I shouldn’t wish too hard because that could easily happen.
I came back to work to rest up from the weekend from hell. Tonight the goal is total relaxation. I’ve got to work on dishes and trash. Outside of that all I want to do is be a vegetable in front of the TV. Spending time with the kids and thinking and doing nothing. I would also like to make it a point to get to bed early.
No boss man today or tomorrow. So things are calm here and honestly not a lot for me to do at this point. I’m okay with that today. Just make the day go by. I’m ready for lunch and a nap. Might just say I’m ill and leave early.
My partner is going to the doctor to get his breathing problem addressed. Plus he is sick and that doesn’t help. I’ve asked him to talk with the doctor about the kidney failure thing so we can hopefully get a better understanding of it. The plain is to have sloppy joe’s for supper.
Funny thing is I was so excited and looking forward to the weekend, now I kind of wish it never would have happened. I am a little depressed but mostly exhausted.
I hate seeing my partner go down hill. We were talking about most of the guys he worked with. How shortly after they stopped working they died. He is one of the lucky ones in that he is collecting his retirement and getting to live. I just hope that he doesn’t have any more falls and can get some what better. I know he will never be 100% again but every little bit back to as close to normal as possible will help. I’m not ready to loose him yet, don’t think I will ever be ready to loose him.
So there you have it, how I spent my weekend. Now I suppose I should start doing some actual work, even though all I want to do is curl up and turn out the lights.
I am feeling a little bit better but afraid that the stress from the weekend was not good for the body. I’m on antibiotics for the majority of the week and all done with steroids. My nose is still bleeding and I get hot once and a while. Hopefully, next weekend will be better.
Were in October already. Damn! 2 more months left and this year will be history. At work they are planning the annual trip to Florida of all places and it’s right after Turkey Day. I haven’t told them but I won’t be going. I have no desire. We have a meet up later this month for dinner and drinks, I will gladly go to that but otherwise, I’d rather spend my time my way.
You take care and I will talk with you peeps later!
