The day I hate, Sunday because it means it’s time to prep for another week and who knows what will happen this week. Argh, the joy of working life. I’ve already checked my work e-mail and know that tomorrow there is an important client meeting, so I will try to make sure I look good. I already know the client and if things go sideways and we loose them it will have a major impact on business. So this is one of those high pressure moments, where everything must work perfectly and there is no room for error. However, we all know that technology fails us, mostly at in opportune times.
Yesterday I went to Sam’s and like normal I couldn’t escape without spending more than $100. I did get a steal on some Xerox Multipurpose Paper with Color Lock Technology. $6.99 for 750 sheets and it’s at a 96% brightness level. I printed a photo for the heck of it and man, it made all the difference in the world. My HP Printer has Color Lock Technology and paring up the paper with the printer it looks awesome. I tried it in the Xerox printer and I am not a fan of the color in it, kind of sad considering that it is so expensive for ink and supplies. I got another surprise expense, Sam’s membership is due. They fixed the defect in the website so it’s the full $45 this year. Last year I got $5 off by renewing through the web. They of course want me to upgrade to the $100 membership and are telling me I will earn cash back rewards. If I pay with my Mastercard I earn the same thing and only need the basic membership, so why upgrade?
I keep hearing amazing artists on my Pandora One, Charlie Puth channel. There is lots of good music out there, you just have to find it. I will be loading up the iPhone later today and hopefully jamming for a while. Nothing like a good song to help you. I sent a short note to Charlie via FB, not sure that he will read it but it makes me feel better. I just let him know that I appreciate his work and that he is good looking. I mean if your going to write someone, might as well be honest!
I needed to get my Sudafed Rx filled. My funds are a little short right now, I’ve just cut things too close. Payday is Wednesday and I should be okay then. In any case I called the pharmacy and they filled it in the quantity I requested. I went into pick it up along with a can of Nasal Saline. A very cute guy took care of me at the Pharmacy counter. He asked me if I needed anything else and I wanted to say, yeah your phone number. Oh guys, you tempt me so. Good Looks, Great Bodies, Amazing Smiles and then your either straight or taken. Why! There has to be one of you for me.
Seriously it is getting lonely here. I almost went to a gay bar yesterday but managed to talk myself out of it. I think that might help my search along but I have to be careful and I’d like to go with someone rather than going alone. It’s always nice to have someone watching your back and looking out for you. I don’t want to wake up after figuring out my drink was spiked and I was used as the ho in a gangbang or worse.
Ruth is back to eating normal meals, no sign of puking so that is good. I got her claws trimmed earlier today. Man she was sticking in the carpet when she walked. That is 7 weeks. They were a little tough to cut but I got the job done. I got her brushed as much as she would allow. I feel knots coming in her fur and I like to avoid that if possible. I got to kiss her while she hissed at me and plotted to tear my head off. I looked at her teeth and ears. Just the general check up type thing. I know a few things to look for but I am no vet. In any case she looks good, now if I could just get rid of that dragon breath of hers it would be a miracle. When she gets upset her breath really smells. You can see the blood pulsing in her fire red tongue and make no mistake, when she is mad it shows in every way possible.
So 3 day weekend I would call a success, despite the fact that part of it was wasted on the AC Guy. I put together a letter last night detailing my disgust for what went down and sent it to the owner of the company he works for. Personally if I read a letter like that and was in charge someone would be in serious trouble. I thought about the consequences of my action before I mailed it. I revised it several times and finally settled on a version that I thought hammered home the point. In the mail it went. I didn’t do anything wrong, just stated my opinion of how I felt he used me to get through his afternoon and that it wasn’t acceptable. I will get my receipt and who knows maybe I will get my money back, I mean that is kind of the avenue I was working when writing. Not that I want something for nothing but I feel entitled to some of my money back.
Speaking of money I checked on my amended tax return and there is no status, the IRS asked me to call them. I think I will have to fight to get the additional money I am entitled to, which should come with interest. Problem is that I could use it now. Not that it won’t be welcome in the future. I am taking the wait and see approach, but if I don’t have it in the next few weeks I will reach out to them. Like most Americans I would rather not deal with the IRS. Those three letters strike fear in the hearts of most people that hear them. Tax day oddly enough is the same day as pay day.
Well I need to get to the laundry, clean the house and then clean my body. Which includes shaving, the task that I like the least. Picked up some Meat Loaf & Mashed Potatoes for Dinner. Got Fried Chicken and Potato Salad for a few meals this week as well. Thought I would switch it up a bit. Frozen is getting old. Fresh or reheating something that the store made sounds more appealing to me, even though I am sure the sodium content is through the roof, as is the case with most frozen dinners. I jumped on the scale last night and learned I had indeed picked up a few pounds. I am at a point where I vowed I would never be again, so I am anxious to lose some weight. I am not miserable like I was before when I was this heavy but I know that the weight doesn’t bode well for making me a prime candidate in the dating world. Not to mention my doctor probably won’t be terribly happy with me come blood test time, which will be next month.
Oh one last thing quickly. I am entering into my 3rd week with no vitamins. Meaning I am not taking any kind of a daily multivitamin. The pain in my feet has its good days and bad days. I can’t really say that vitamins played a major part, but I do know that if I get too much in my system it will kill my feet. I need to break down and go see the podiatrist already I am just afraid that he will say surgery is necessary to correct the problem, whatever it is. That really isn’t going to be an option for me. I saw what happened to my late partner after his first foot surgery and well call me gun shy. I will at some point get back on multivitamins, I just haven’t figured out when.
Cheers, here’s hoping it will be a great week and a fast moving one at that. I am always eager for the weekend, except when I am on call. Okay off to chore land I go. Talk with you peeps later.
