Friday night I kept true to my word and had my Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a Medium French Fry. The fries were fresh and full of salt. Instantly transported me back to my childhood. The sandwich was good as well. Not a bad treat for 5 days of hell.
Saturday as soon as the Gator had me awake, I sprang into action. Breakfast for the children was the first order of business. They were all chatty, I guess hunger pains finally hit all of them and it’s such a rare feeling they didn’t know how to react. Seriously, they do not starve.
I went out for breakfast, back to the place where the 16yo was. I feel like he is taunting me. He figured out I was there and started seating people around me, he would walk right by my table wiggling his ass. Yeah, dude is still cute but now that I know his age the interest is gone, I mean long gone and never coming back gone. Food was very good.
On to grab the mail and hope that Death Certificates were in. No such luck. Then it was on to the haircut store. Where I let a different person cut my hair and I got charged wrong, as in too much for my shampoo. It was only a couple of dollars and I wasn’t going back to argue.
Next stop was the upscale grocery store. Where I spent way too much money for “oatmeal”. The oatmeal is my excuse for going in but I always buy way more stuff than I planned on.
Next stop the dreaded home improvement store. Man alive it was like it was Christmas shopping at it’s finest. Tons of rude people to block the isle, stop and chat and that stressed me out. I had to keep reminding myself why I was there. I passed on one item and now I’ve forgotten what it was so must not have been important.
I should have gone for cat food but opted to go home. I was a little tired. Unloaded all of my purchase and then began toilet repair. Yep, it was the flapper. The old defective one was rubber and it was just disintegrating. I had this black goop all over my hands, a real mess. Got the new one installed and tested it a couple times, presto change-o fixed.
Finally time to rest up and relax with the children. I decided to call my brother, the phone rang off the hook before VM picked up. I left a message thinking he was dodging me. He called back about an hour later once I had settled down for a nap. I told the kids he would call and yeah just as I was falling asleep boom. He paid the nursing home, the doctors are paid. He has the death certificates and we agreed to meet up on Saturday to close out the bank accounts that are local. I still need a death certificate to send off for the remote account(s), if there is any money there it will be a surprise. The bank has frozen the checking account and that was actually expected. So he has no way to get a balance for the Savings account. We shall just have to wait and see what’s what. I think I will walk away with a couple hundred dollars, which will be nice.
I got on the computer and went porn surfing, that was fun. Never know what I am going to find but I managed to locate some decent scenes. By now were at 3 in the afternoon. I opted to make a pizza, which I picked up earlier in the day. It was a Gino’s South of Chicago Sausage & Pepperoni. Pretty good stuff. However, the first bite the sauce went onto my upper lip and I managed to burn the corner of my lip. It’s a little painful but just looks like I have a chapped lip. Doesn’t feel anything like a chapped lip.
Oh, I ate the whole pizza. As I sat down I got a call for work, but I elected to defer it until I was done with my food. I took care of that and another hour had passed me by. I got out and filled up the vehicle with fuel and then went on to the cat food store. Then it was back home for the remainder of the evening.
Of course I went back to the computer and I started music surfing. Acoustic Alchemy has some great stuff. I had a very good evening listening to their music which is classed as smooth jazz. Very relaxing. I just love music, the older I get the more I have to have.
Finally I called it a night close to 11p that is after I put out my medicine, medicated the cats and had a stinging time brushing my teeth with my lip burn. Watched TV and saw the latest episode of Active Shooter. Man that was an eye opener. After that was over with I went to bed.
Sunday once again the Gator made me rise from bed with her magically gifted set of lungs. It’s annoying to hear but also entertaining to hear some of it. Got the furies fed. Then on to grab my breakfast and hit up the grocery store. Once again I dropped way more money than I thought I would. They didn’t have my Diet Code Red Mt. Dew which didn’t please me at all. I got home and got everything put away. Then down I went in my chair. Watched a little TV felt sleepy and I was back in bed by 10:30. Slept until 11:30 and then said give me a 1/2 hour. True to form Gator started her racket at noon. That was the lunch bell ringing. So I had to feed them. Then I found out what a Blueberry Oatmeal Cookie tasted like. I paid $5 for a box. They were really good.
Now we start laundry and that’s all done. So here I am giving you the play by play. Next it will be carrying everything upstairs and getting ready to clean the house. Which will send the cats into a panic because the vacuum cleaner comes out. Then I’ll wrangle the trash. I’ll probably take a short break and then it will be time for a shave and shower, followed by supper which is going to be frozen Turkey, Mashed Potatoes and Stuffing. You might think I am gearing up for Turkey Day but it’s actually an enjoyable meal that I can have year round. I’ll probably come back to the computer for a couple hours then it will be upstairs to take in Shameless, Vice Principals and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Then hopefully I will feel drowsy and go to bed. Then I’ll get to rise early again and go back to the fun that is work.
I realized after the fact of speaking with my brother this coming Saturday I have a dentist appointment. So hopefully he will get moving early because come noon I’ll be in the chair getting my pearly whites cleaned and polished. Now that’s my real turkey day preparation. Then the following week the big day will be here and we only have to work 3 days. Nice!
While it’s not exciting news I am proud of the fact that I finally got everything done that I have been putting off. Here is to a fast moving and highly productive week ahead with little stress and no worry. The refrigerator for temperatures has arrived, so my wardrobe has changed over to all long sleeves. Still not a fan but it is normal for this time of year. My lawn guy mowed 1 last time even though our contract expired last month. That’s another can of worms. So stay warm and be well.
