Last night I spent a good part of the evening looking for a battery charger for the cordless drill that my late partner bought. It wasn’t until a little after 9pm when I finally found it. Holy crap I tore through all sorts of things and now it looks like a small tornado has gone through part of the house. Looks like I have a cleaning project to work on. Anyway got the battery all charged up and this weekend I will be putting in the garage door rollers. I thought about doing it tonight but it requires a little bit too much effort for it to be a work weeknight project. Perhaps on Friday evening if I am feeling really anxious, otherwise it will be a Saturday thing.
The pee pads arrived last night along with my mattress pad. I laid out two of the pads on the carpet and he used them. Problem is he got 1/2 off of one so he hit the carpet. Perhaps I will get him trained yet. I just hope that eventually he goes back to using the litter box and we can eliminate this problem once and for all. Perhaps my hopes are a little too high but I have to at least have hope.
I also spent part of my evening submitting documentation for my consolidation loan. We are all set from what I see on-line. I am just waiting for a postcard to come in the mail with some super secret code that I have to authenticate with to verify my address and then I should have my money. Hopefully the postcard will arrive soon – I will bet it makes it before the refund from the overage on the old Escrow Account. :)
The evenings thus far have been super busy for me, going 100mph trying to accomplish something or looking for someone or something. A friend of mine is trying to find a friend of hers so she asked me for help. I was able to locate a phone number but I just used Google. She called and left a message but no return call. Last night I decided to dig deeper to see if maybe her friend had passed away but I couldn’t find any record of that on-line. It’s just odd for her friend to just drop off the face of the earth. She is an older lady so we suspect that maybe her health took a turn for the worse – who knows maybe she is in a hospital. There are limits to how far I will go and I think I have done all I can. I am no detective but I will say the thrill of the hunt is entertaining.
So I look forward to this evening, as always and hope that new episodes of my favorite shows are on tonight. I will be eating Lasagna and hopefully just taking a nice mid week break from the stress of the week. I will be getting my new pillows tonight and look forward to them as well as my fitness tracker So I will be playing with a gadget, I just hope that I don’t loose interest in it otherwise it is money wasted.
I am eyeing my next toy purchase which will be a 2 way remote control wifi camera. So I can see what is going on inside the house and talk with the cats That should freak them out. There are so many options and models available. They aren’t super expensive but it kind of depends upon what you want. I like the idea of a cloud service being able to store the video and being able to talk with the children. However, I haven’t yet found a model that incorporates both features. Plus when you say cloud think of a subscription, I don’t want to subscribe to anything or have any extra fees. I just want simple setup and go. I found a model that offers a free cloud service, which is great but no talk feature. Long term I would like to get cameras for both inside and outside the house. However, that will require wiring and well that is not my area of expertise. I am sure I would do fine on the inside but on the outside, well that is another story entirely.
My co-worker from the other office that is moving here will start the last week of the month. So I have some setup work to do. It will be strange having him here. I am used to being alone. Plus he tells me that he wants to learn parts of my job. I can’t help but be a little paranoid, however I honestly think I am fine. I just think my concerns are based on human nature and are knee jerk reactions. He does a different job than I do, but our jobs are related to each other. If this is a land mine that is going to blow up, there isn’t much I can do about it. No one has told me that I am doing a crappy job, it’s quite to the contrary. Overall I am happy here and plan on staying for a while. I still do keep my eye out and there have been some attractive postings but I really don’t want to change jobs again. The looking, applying and interviewing is enough to make me sick. I am sure that I won’t retire from here but then again the way things are going the odds are favorable.
So this time next week we will all be very happy because we will be on the eve of the holiday. That is such a special time of year and I really wish that I had a human companion to spend it with. Something about snuggling up and just sharing the moment with each other is attractive to me. You never fully realize what you have until it’s gone or taken away from you. I have many things I would say or do differently. I don’t feel like I appreciated him fully. His presence is very much missed and this time of year the pain is a little more fresh and worse than the rest of the year. When I find someone I think it will be helpful or so I hope, in that I would be focused on them in the now instead of what I had in the past.
I started this post when I got here and then work happened and now its lunch time. The days really do fly by here. I am anxious for some R&R time but no matter how much you give me, I will always want more. There are several other things that applies to, but I will let you use your imagination as to what I am speaking of. For the record cats are not one of those items.
The afternoon is a down hill slide. Then there is the slithering home on the highway. Traffic seems to be worse at night. I would think that as we get closer to the holiday that more and more people would be going on vacation. When I think of a holiday I am reminded about a lady who worked for my previous employer and she pased away on a holiday. I remember the payroll people laughing and saying that since she didn’t work the day after there was no holiday pay for her. Wow, they were so cold and heartless. Much like the former mortgage company I am battling, there is a special place in hell for those people.
I got an alert that my packages were delivered so I of course am anxious to get home. One more package tomorrow and the final one arrives on Saturday. Then were done for this round. I made a wish list last night so when the next round comes I will know what to buy. That is kind of dangerous but I have not spoiled myself and have been scrimping for a long time. It is scary to spend the money but it also feels good. Like yes I am getting something that I deserve. Perhaps my sense of entitlement is set way too high. However, just when I think I have everything I want something new comes along. Funny how that works.
Well on to eat my Chicken Salad Sandwich, watch my You Tube Videos and relax for an hour of which I hope I am not interrupted. Then it will be back to the grindstone. I hope your having a great hump day and that the weather is nice in your part of the world. It’s cold here and there is snow on the way tonight. I am not worried about it, just another day in the life. The world doesn’t stop spinning. Talk with you peeps later.
