I’ll bet you can’t guess what I watched last night? Two interviews that Oprah did. One with Tina Turner and the other with Jennifer Hudson. Wow! They were wonderful. I was amazed to learn that Tina Turner is 73 – she doesn’t look like it. Too bad my guy didn’t look and function that well in his older years.
Work is very quiet today, which is a good thing. I am getting near the end of the first hardware project. I’d love to say that I would be done with it today but it might stretch into tomorrow. Time will tell. One thing is for sure unless something goes oddly wrong I should be done and able to wash my hands of it this week. That is awesome news!
My so called friend starts next Tuesday. I got a little more upset last night when I learned that she updated her LinkedIn account and she put down that she is already working here. WTF. I haven’t said a word about it and I don’t think I will. Something's you just have to let go.
I have to work on getting her a machine ready to go and the girl moved out of her desk into a new desk. It’s a nice game of musical chairs. As long as everything comes together by the end of the week I don’t care. Then I can start on another hardware project – ick.
Sitting here eating lunch I kept thinking about calling home, wondering what is for supper. Yeah I forgot. It’s like he is on vacation without me. Feels very odd. I’ve managed to make it 4 months and provided all goes well come next Wednesday it will be 5 months. I’ve acomplished a lot in that time frame, more than I thought I would. However, there is still plenty to do. The one thing that I really want accomplished is the payment on the house to be adjusted. I seriously hope and pray that gets worked out very soon.
Speaking of money, I tried to get a member sign on from the vision provider we chose at work. From the way it looks nothing has been taken out of my check because I don’t have any coverage. Now it’s only $4 and I don’t know that it’s worth complaining about. I have to call the company and really afraid that will unearth a bag of worms. I am also wondering others here haven’t had anything taken out either – maybe we all think we have coverage but we really don’t. Oh boy if that is the case it will be ugly around here when people figure that out.
The vet just called and wanted to know how Momma is doing, if she is still chewing. Yes is the answer. I’m not doping her up twice a day but manage to get a pill down her in the evening. It seems to help a little but overall she is still obsessively grooming herself. Silly woman!
We have a heat wave moving in. I woke up in the middle of the night twice. First was because Jumper wanted out. Second was because I was freezing. I have this bad habit of kicking the covers off and when my body realizes I am cold I wake up. So I had to go turn the AC off and cover up. Back to bed only to be woken a third time. My neighbor was leaving and started up his motorcycle. It scared me but I was up long before the alarm went off. So out of bed I got. That is how my day started.
I am still not 100% about the thermostat at home. I went looking on-line and found some replacement options. There is a really neat one from Honeywell that lets you control everything from your smart phone. The unit it’s self has WIFI and it gets the Weather forecast and determines on it’s own if you need AC or HEAT and it makes that call. Wow would suck if the weather site was hacked and it was summer but it thought it was winter and so the thermostat kicked the heat on. Poor kittys would melt. Actually they like heat but I don’t think they like it that much. There is the NEST but that damn thing is way too expensive. I like the idea of being able to control the temp through my phone that just sounds neat.
Last night on the way home I needed to go to Lowes but by habit I went straight home. Turns out the garage door opened with the first click. I had a spare battery so I have that in the car just in case the thing decides to die and it’s pouring rain or something.
Wow that takes me back to when me and my guy first met. He didn’t have an automatic garage door opener so he used me to accomplish that. Rain, Sleet, Snow I was the one who had to lower the door and lock it. Don’t miss that at all but they were fun times.
My food adventure this week will be Nachos. I am thinking of them tonight but might just save them until Friday. I got multi-grain Tostios (by accident), Tostitos Con Queso and Chi Chi’s heat & eat beef. Going to mix the Con Queso with the Meat, might throw in a can of Rotel for good measure and viola….Nachos. I hope it tastes 1/2 as good as it sounds. I am sure it will create a mess which is why I am thinking of putting it off. Might do the Bertolli frozen dinner tonight.
So I gave in to a guilty pleasure and ordered some Shampoo from Amazon along with much needed Ice Packs for my lunch. I am a prime member and always choose 2 day shipping. I provide a street address solely for that purpose. What do they do? They shipped the order by the post office. Not sure why but it’s not going to be here on Wednesday like I was promised it will be here by Friday. The advantage of Prime is 2 day free shipping. I am stil not paying for shipping but not getting my order as fast as I wanted. So not happy about that! This was a birthday present for me.
My other present I will stop in at Staples on my road trip this weekend. That is provided I feel like it. I am in search of a specific pen. I can get it on Amazon but want to see if I can find it in a store. I have so many pens now that I could write with each of them every day and probably not run out of ink for 10 years. I really don’t need another pen. It’s a fetish for me.
Sorry for rambling on. I am thinking way too much about my birthday. Wondering what friends will do for me, if anything. I am not looking for gifts but that would be nice. I am more interested to see who says what. However, I am obsessing over being alone and how much it hurts. I don’t get to hear Happy Birthday from the one I love. He stopped affording presents for me a long time ago. Usually a meal is how we would celebrate. Doing it alone well it’s not quite the same. Knowing how I feel now really makes me not want to see Thanksgiving because that will really suck. I’ve already made reservations and friends & myself are keeping up our tradition. I look forward to the food and time with friends but not the alone time I will have on my hands.
Okay enough babble I have to get back to hardware heaven. Only one person here can do my job and that’s me. So back to work I go. Take care and I hope your Tuesday was a good one! Talk with you peeps later.
