Here we are at the middle of the week again. Morning came fast and I slept pretty well, I did wake up once during the night but managed to go back to sleep. Marvin didn’t want to sleep with me. This morning he just ran for my room and really didn’t want to be bothered. Knowing that isn’t like him I kept an eye on him and saw him eating. I took him water in bed and he lapped that up. I thought I had a problem but that was quickly ruled out. He’s been grooming himself a lot so I took a look and his butt is as red as fire. I saw he was in need of some assistance so I got a baby wipe and helped him out. He wasn’t too thrilled about that. I hope it helps. Lord knows I don’t want to lose any of them but especially my sleeping buddy – that would really suck.
Got a text last night from a friend one of her relatives passed away. It’s been a long road and this was expected but it took years to happen. The poor thing fought through thick and thin. She was on life support until her husband told the hospital to remove it. It was pretty upsetting to my friend. Then my friend had a procedure scheduled today to remove a mass from her stomach. Looks like it was a hernia with an infection. The path report is pending. Hopefully she gets good news back.
I got the machine for the new person taken care of. Her setup looks really nice, kind of wish it was my cube. Actually I wish I had an office, where I could just close the door. Someone would probably come in and find me napping. Walking the halls here all you see is mostly closed doors, especially on a Friday if people are in. I get kind of jealous of that but then again I’m a grunt.
Tomorrow is pay day so I get to go home tonight and give away more money. Yippie. My late partner had a blood glucose meter from Vocal Point. He got it through Liberty Medical. It’s a nice meter and it talks to you which is a plus. In any case, I am starting to run out of test strips. So I had to fight to order some, kind of wish I would have done it sooner because they were available on Amazon. Long story short they are discontinued – so the meter will be useless when I run out of test strips. That really sucks! I’ve got a meter in the basement but it needed batteries. I did a side by side test. My meter shows me way high where his meter shows me lower, but still at a high number. Hell who knows which one is right. I ordered a new meter last night from Amazon, it doesn’t talk but hey I can read a screen. $36 and it comes with 100 test strips, so I think I got a good deal. It’s almost like your better off to buy a new meter than to replenish the strips. Kind of reminds me of the printer market where it’s often cheaper to buy a new printer than it is to purchase ink. Silly but hey the world is becoming more and more disposable. Just hammering home – nothing is forever, except diamonds (for now).
Feeling pretty good today overall. I hated that I took yesterday off. I had a lot of people stop by and ask me if I was okay or feeling better. Kind of nice but I think some of them were just being nosy. I know for sure that I am appreciated here – it’s shown by my boss and the others. Now if I just had someone to come home to besides the 4 legged beggars I think my depression would come to an end. On the bright side I don’t do hardly any yelling at all and there is no arguing with anyone.
Just about time to go play in traffic. Getting my massage tomorrow so I’ve got 2 stops on the way home. Mail and the bank. Then I get to figure out what’s for dinner. Chicken Salad sounds good but I kind of want something more than a sandwich. I am already tired of the Ham Salad, I had it yesterday and again today for lunch. They overload it with salt, like Ham needs salt.
Take care and I will talk with you peeps later.
