Last night I decided to have a Chicken Pot Pie in a Parmesan Crème Sauce. It was very good, much to my surprise. It had some red pepper in it which was totally unexpected and help give it a slightly bold flavor. I finished the last Christmas cookie that my co-worker sent me. The kids and I sat on the couch and finished watching Home Alone 2 which I rented on Amazon. It was a deal at only $2.99 and that was worth seeing it versus playing it on tape in the VCR. HD sure has brought television into a new light. I hear that 4K is really something to see. That is the next codec standard that is being worked on. You can get a 4K TV today but like HD you will pay through the nose, plus they have yet to decide on a standard, so better to stand back and wait & see. I think we will all be even happier when this comes out, of course it means buying a new TV again.
If you think about it life is all about upgrades and enhancements. We went from records & 8 track tapes to cassettes, to CD’s, to MP3’s. In TV it was Black & White, to Color, to HD. Technology is very much alive and breathing. It is ever changing and always seems to cost us money but it also brings us joy and the ability to do things and see things that we have never done or seen before.
It was nice to take a break so to speak from life and just sit back and watch TV. I have things to do but am thinking of repeating the process tonight. A lot depends upon what time I get home. The garage was next to empty this morning, things are quiet in the office and not many people are here. I suspect they will in fact let us go early but until they say the word I plan on staying around until my normal quitting time. The spy is back in the office today so no leaving early unless they actually close the office. Yesterday I was able to get out 10 minutes early and it actually helped make a huge difference on when I arrived home. I gained a 1/2 hour from 10 minutes.
I think that I have discovered the secret to attracting guys. It’s as simple as growing a beard or at least have some decent stubble. I only shave 1 time per week. I posted profile photos of myself unshaven and man I am starting to have to beat them off with a stick. Nothing serious yet but I have had a lot of people telling me that I am cute, sexy, handsome. Now I suppose it’s a matter of what I can do for them and not what they can do for me. However, I am in it to win a LTR and not a hook up. I have been thinking about January and the guy from the pet food store. I am actually nervous about it. I suppose once we test the waters we will know more about each other and the heart will eventually take over if there is chemistry and history will write its self. I saw something disturbing on a younger guys profile …. he said I like them terminally ill and with an 8 figure bank account. Now I am sure he was joking but man there really are those type of people in the world, looking to make a quick dollar.
Like everyone else that managed to schlep in today I am eager to leave and get home to my furry family. I am especially concerned about Bear. He has been coughing lately and last night I saw him use the pee pad, which was good but he is even more winded now and that is probably what has prevented him from using the litter box. It takes a lot of effort on his part to go to the bathroom. I told him last night as I held his paw and was petting him not to die on me, not right now I needed him. He has a very strong desire to be close to me. While I know that every day brings us closer to death I am just not ready to part with him. So I told him that I would clean off my guys bed and him and I would snuggle an even take a nap. I will spend some much needed time with him. He will no doubt lap that up like candy to a baby. If he continues down this path and I don’t see any improvement I will get him in for a checkup. It might be time for a fluid tap or it could be time to part ways. I know that he struggles but he also has a lot of life in him. His only problem is struggling to use the restroom and mobility. As long as the stress level is low he is fine. Anything that gets the heart beating faster causes problems. So I look forward to snuggling up with him and maybe even taking a nap. I enjoy petting him and hearing him purr, he is just a big baby – which is true for all of my cats. Even Ruth who has a mean exterior once you get her calm, she is like putty in my hands. They all love me and I love them. Just happy that we will all be able to be together to celebrate another Christmas together. This could be the last year that we are all together, given Bear’s health. Then again look at last year I would have never thought BLU would go. So each and every day is special, but we loose sight of that with the hustle and bustle of life.
Okay enough emotional stuff. I will talk with you peeps later. Have a very Merry Christmas!
