The Pie Shop

I went to bed late, woke up feeling lazy.  Also since I left my bedroom door open, I didn’t get much sleep.  Blu started his antics early to get the others mad and they made noise and presto daddy is awake.  I closed my door for a little while but that didn’t last long, he kept at it.  Finally having enough I left and went to my late partners bed, where I eventually fell into a nice slumber.  One of the girls woke me up and I looked at the clock and oh my it was 10.

I went to feed the little monsters and noticed that it was only 9.  Ah, yes I forgot that I forgot to roll his clock back 1 hour.  They say when you get older the memory is the first thing to go, I forget what goes second.  :)

I watched Novocain with Steve Martin in it.  I have seen it before but it was nice to watch it again.  Then I got sleepy so I went back to bed.  It was noon when I laid down and 2pm when I woke up. 

Yes, I fed the monsters lunch.  Then I got dressed and shoved off.  I had a problem getting my sudafed rx refilled.  I filled it once from the web, that didn’t take.  The clerk filled it again last night so I could pick it up today.  That didn’t work.  Then I filled it from the mobile app and that worked, but since insurance doesn’t cover it, they didn’t fill it.  So when I went to pick it up this evening I had to wait for it.  It’s time like that I hate the pharmacy. 

I got the mail and bills and junk were what were delivered.  I also got my copy of Out Magazine.  Haven’t looked through it yet, but will soon. 

Then I debated about where to eat at and finally talked myself into driving to The Pie Place.  Just as I was about to enter the freeway/interstate I remembered that I forgot the coupon for my free slice of pie.  See I told you the memory goes first.  Ah, to hell with it I just went. 

It was a nice drive but my mind was all over the place.  I am consumed with worry about my job and about money.  Eventually I put that behind me and started to enjoy the music.  It wasn’t until I was almost home that I was in a little better mood.  It faded quickly but it was there for a bit.  The drive this time seemed more like work and less like relaxation.  It was helpful to clear my mind a little, plus it gave me something to do.  If there is nothing to do then I just go to sleep – my body’s natural reaction.

So what did I have?  Well I ordered a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup with Crackers.  Not bad.  Then a Ruben Sandwich.  He (Ruben) tasted delicious, so much that I wanted a 2nd one but didn’t get it.  Desert was Brownie Pie Alamode.  It wasn’t that good, honest!  I should have stuck with my original favorite of Celebration.  As I was leaving I saw a Mexican place down the road from the pie place.  Next time I may go to the Mexican place and then stop in for a slice of pie.

I was surprised to see pie place was remolded on the inside.  TV’s, new furniture and a fake fireplace.  Looked really good!

Looking for a job is a full time job.  I have been on LinkedIn last night and again tonight.  I have so many requests out to people I know to join my network.  I looked over my profile, all is good.  I have applied for a few jobs this week on the app.  I like a couple clicks and presto your app is submitted.  I see jobs in LA that really look attractive.  Not just LA but other parts of the US.  I really, really want to move.  Problem is no support network, no money and timing is way off.  So staying put and trying to hopefully find a job where I can be treated better and make a much better living. 

Talked with a friend last night.  He told me that his place had an opening but the pay was really low.  He talked with his boss about bumping it up and his boss said no.  He would rather promote from within than bring an outsider in at a higher wage.  Yeah, okay!  It didn’t make him happy.  I could care less.  I would have to drive a million miles to get to work and then I know I would be in a better place but I would have to learn the lay of the land all over.  My friend is actually a former co-worker from the job where one of the guys came up with the phrase elhomo.  Which is how I named my blog.  I just though it was hysterical, especially since no one knew I was gay.  Funny how things come together.

As porky pig says, that is all folks.  Nothing else worth talking about. Tomorrow I will take the truck (if it starts) and venture to the grocery store.  I have to clean out my car so that it’s ready to take to the auto body repair place on Monday.  The good news is the tank in the car is full so it will cost less to fill up next week since it will be out of commission for the bulk of the week. 

Now I am hungry again so time to search for something to eat and watch a little TV then off to bed again.  Snow is mostly gone, temps are up and the furnace doesn’t have to run as often.  Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
