I had a feeling this morning that today is going to be one of those days. So far I have dealt with a chatty Marvin in the middle of the night. Traffic snarls. Then I was talking over the wall to a co-worker and wondered why he wasn’t responding. I called him by the wrong name. I feel a little overwhelmed. I suppose the events of yesterday had something to do with it. It also didn’t help when I got home last night that I found someone blew chunks all over the carpet.
I checked out the AC and it sounds like it’s a capacitor or a fan motor. The compressor fires up but the fan is stuck. I thought about kick starting it but that might work once or twice but in the end I will be calling a repair person, might as well get it over with. I plan on making those arrangements a bit later today.
I convinced myself to have a can of Clam Chowder that I have been hanging on to. I saw the words Gluten Free and my stomach hasn’t been the same since. I don’t do well without my Gluten. In any case the soup was good, but it was no Red Lobster. Biscuits to go with the soup would have been nice. Instead I had a side of fur. I had to try to eat and pet Ruthie, make sure Bear was eating and rotate his plate. It was a circus like event. Which is the norm at my place.
After supper I went to the basement to play on the PC, which was short lived. I found myself on the couch listening to TV and surfing on my phone on the dating apps. No nibbles, so I called it a night. Watched Tosh.O and called it a night. Boring life I know.
I did manage to have a nice dream. I was on a pen buying frenzy. I went to a local office supply store that has long since been closed and stopped in and picked up a couple pens. Then somehow I wound up at a boutique and I fell in love with this Lamy Leather Pen set. One was a rollerball and the other was some new age pen that made the letters come to life on the page, the ink was super expensive. I wound up in a fight with the owner and walked out. Then I just had to have them so I went back and the prices went up, so I walked out again. It was rather bizzare. I have a Lamy Rollerball that is in need of a refill but it’s not top priority on my list. I suppose that plus the money I am getting from the Title Company affected my brain and it wanted me to spend the money. These were all high end writing instruments and I do have an addiction to them, among other things. However, I try to keep myself in check. The last time I bought a pen I got my credit card hacked because I purchased it from China and it took forever to arrive. That was 3 years ago.
So I was setting up for a meeting this morning and to kill time I decided to jump on Grindr. I had a message waiting from a 27 year old guy who was really hot. We chatted a bit, he started to get sexual and I really had to get back to work. So I cut him off, not because I objected to the conversation but because my job comes first. I could have kept chatting with him but figured that this would be one of those seemingly meaningless conversations that wasn’t going to go anywhere and I have to be able to perform my job and keep my emotions in check. So I figured it was best to cut it short. I will fire up the app again later tonight, hopefully he will continue to chat with me but if not so be it. I saw an ad yesterday for a guy who was in his 20’s, we had at least 20 years between us and he is looking for an LTR but he didn’t think anyone was game, he expressed frustration over being able to find someone. I started to write him and then talked myself out of it because of the age difference. While his age isn’t a problem for me, I figured it would be a problem for him. As much as I don’t want to date Grandpa I figured he wouldn’t want to either. So I totally get it. However, now I wonder what if. Should I see him again I may send him a message but in a way I feel like I am a predator. Sex is clearly the first thing on every guys mind and while I may not be different in that regard, I don’t want to just jump right in bed. I want to get to know the other guy and see if there is a connection there as I am looking for something long term myself. Anyone can have sex but I am looking for love, which is on a different scale. Yeah I have thought about just giving up and having meaningless sex but I don’t know that I could do that and what emotional trauma it would have on me in the long run. The hunt continues.
My PC problem at home is back. It’s an Outlook add in issue and I have tried a lot of things, just when I think it’s fixed and things have stabilized it breaks again. I worked with the manufacturer yesterday. They viewed my computer, took screen shots and logging files and said they would get back with me. They want to remote in again and I told them you have everything you possibly could want from my machine, provide me a fix. They are still adamant about getting back in as an engineer wants to take a closer look. I am not going to give in to that, I will either figure out a way on my own to resolve the issue or just live with it. It’s not a major big deal but rather an annoyance. The funny thing is the same software works perfectly fine on my laptop. It was the reason why I bit the bullet an upgraded to Office 2013 thinking that it was more stable and that it would be better. Yeah, so much for thinking. I mean I am happy with Office 2013 but I wish that a few things were different. I know that Microsoft is getting ready to release Office 2016 along with Windows 10 and a brand new Internet Browser. Sounds like a lot of change at once. That is the way technology rolls.
That’s all the I’ve got for today. Talk with you peeps again soon!
