Wacky Wednesday

I was a little late in getting home last night, thanks to traffic.  However, I managed to get everything done that I needed to.  The house actually smells worse now that I have run the carpet cleaner.  If you go into my bathroom, that is where it is at it's worst.  Kind of odd because Big Boy never goes in my bathroom for any reason.  Him and his brother (Jumper) have started me on a new routine where instead of dumping the water from the dish in the tub, I give it to them to drink.  Then I take my shower.  When I am done, I can dump, rinse and re-fill the bowl and put it back in the tub.  Big Boy isnt a drinker but he was this morning.  I told him to make sure that it all gets into the litter box when it comes out the other end.  

I remembered that I had some instant odor killing product, so I got out the black light and put it down.  I have to pick up some more of that plus get some litter.  So that will be tonights project, in addition to going to the bank for money to pay for my massage tomorrow. 

I found a guy who openly says he is HIV Positive, which I think is awesome that he is up front.  There are a few guys that will tell you this up front  In any case he is younger than I am, very cute and he explained how he acquired HIV.  He's on disability but wants to go back to work.  I would be interested in him but for the disease I would just as soon be a friend and not be a sexual partner.  Anyway, I passed on some job tips.  He isn't the first guy that I have hit up with job tips on a dating/hook up site. He probably won't be the last.  It feels good to give back and help.  While I didn't like being unemployed I can use that experience to hopefully help others find a job and stay motivated. 

On the way home last night I called up a my friend who suffered a stroke last year.  She told me that things are getting worse for her (medically speaking) and that the doctors are about to the point where they are going to give up.  She told me that she won't give up, which is a good thing.  Then she tellsnig me that she is going to try to drive in a couple weeks.  Her vision is bad.  I mean between her and my mom I wouldn't let either one drive and if I was dumb enough to get into a car with one of them as the driver I would make sure my life insurance was paid, plus take out some AFLAC.  I don't mean to sound negative but there is a reason why blind people don't drive, it's because they can see.  I really feel bad for her.  Plus she is stuck at home with her husband -- they get into verbal arguments all the time and someone is always yelling.  They both talk so loud.  They are only in their 60s and to me that isnt old but I guess parts start failing depending upon wear.

Last night Jumper and I called it a night a 1/2 hour early than we normally would.  The girls were not happy about that but I sure was.  The extra sleep helped me, but I also woke up a couple times in the middle of the night.  My back is a little better but I still feel it.  I think tonight I will just sit and watch ABC all of my favorite shows are on.  We caught Tosh.O last night, funny as usual.  I think staying away from technology will be a good thing, but I still have my phone.  So I will be checking in on the dating sites.  Nothing from Mr. Date.  He hasn't been on line since Sunday.  He told me that this would be a busy week for him.  I suspect I will hear from him over the weekend.

Thinking of doing some work in my late partners office and getting it straighted up.  Then I could leave the door open.  Maybe if I am lucky I will be able to tackle his bedroom as well, but I think that is asking a lot.  Plus it all depends upon how I feel on Saturday.  I have to take my mom to get her blood drawn and I am not looking forward to that.  She will no doubt bring up the truck again.  I would be happy if she just gave up driving all together.  I understand that is a big step to take but given her vision and the recent accident I kind of think that it's for the best.  Better to quit while your ahead than to do serious injury or kill someone.  I don't think she would be able to live with that but she doesn't see that part of the picture right now.  She just sees that it is time to get back on the horse and ride again.  Not always the best plan.

So I was in an office yesterday talking with a guy who was leaving.  He ran me ragged.  I noticed a siliver pen on his desk, it was very nice.  We all know that I have a pen fetish and just can't get enough of them.  I was thinking boy I wish I could have that, it looks nice.  Heck even picking it up and writing with it would have told me if I really wanted it or not.  In any case I went back to pickup his computer stuff today and I opened one of his desk drawers.  He left the pen.  He isn't coming back and no one will know that it was there.  So I took it.  I feel guilty because there was no one to ask.  At the same time if someone does ask did you take it or did you see it and if I say yes, here it is then that could cause problems for me.  I feel the risk is low, so that is why I did what I did.  I never expressed any interest in the pen to anyone and no one here really knows me that well yet.  Curious, what do you think?

Oh boy it's Wednesday.  I signed up for a massage tomorrow.  I hope that she doesn't go digging and that it's something enjoyable and not something that I say oh why did I do this.  It's been 3 weeks so I am long over due.  Thankfully my new schedule allows me some flexability, so I am able to do things like this.  I actually rather like it.  Start off on the phones for 2 hours in the morning.  Do 2 hours in the afternoon then kill a 1/2 hour with prepping for the next day and it's time to go home.  I can pass the time pretty quickly.  In fact when I am on the phones that is all my boss wants us to do is answer the phone, so I surf for guys on my iPhone and have found a couple to reach out to.  It helps pass the time  quickly.  I just hate it when I get interupted by work but the interuption is to be expected.  

Wow I am sleepy all of a sudden.  I guess it's because I had lunch.  I read an articlel this morning that said it's productive to take a 15 minute nap everyday.  That could be true but my employer doesnt pay people for sleeping.  I suppose I could get away with it now because I am at lunch but it just doesn't look good if I were to get caught.  Well I guess back to work before I lull myself into a coma.  I am bulding a machine for a new hire that starts next week.  Should be done with it today, deploy it tomorrow and then presto were done.  

Okay I will talk with you peeps later.
