One more day

I took advantage of the day and was lazy again, sort of.  I had breakfast out, grabbed the mail.  I picked up two candles after breakfast – got Warm Lux Cashmere and Coconut Beach.  They smell amazing and both are by Yankee.  I got some money in the mail shame there wasn’t more.  Just a rebate check from one of the medicines I take that costs a small fortune.  I also got my bank statements, I didn’t pay much attention to the holiday gift that was distributed last pay period.  Turns out it was in a different account other than my primary, that could have been disastrous.  Thankfully I got the money transferred tonight and it’s will be fully in my account on Tuesday.  After hitting up those two places I opted to get a car wash.  Wow it’s beautiful again!  I also got to see some cute guys at the car wash.  After that I was all hot and I had to come home.  Not hot from the guys but hot from the wacky weather.  It should be in the 30’s but it was closer to 70 here today.  Totally unseasonable weather. 

Got cooled off, played on my phone.  Had an old man hit me up on Facebook wanting to chat, sorry gramps I buried one old guy and I am not looking to repeat that again, so he got blocked.  I know it was kind of rude but I didn’t want to reply and get something started.  Eventually I grew tired and fell asleep. 

The best part of my day was to learn that Zak from On Scene TV accepted a friend request on social media.  He’s a hottie and has a very interesting job.  I like the way he works even though his competition doesn’t.  He’s very professional. 

Back on track.  I ventured out after my nap was over with for a hair cut.  The mobile app was all messed up so I just decided to show up.  Turns out they were booked until they were closed but thankfully I was there at the right time.  The place was empty.  They took me right away and I was in and out in 10 minutes tops.  It was awesome and I had them take the sides shorter, if the weather goes back to normal I will fucking hate that choice but it looks really good. 

Ever since Thanksgiving I have been hungry for Spaghetti so I went out to a local Italian place and got my noodle on.  There have been cute guys that have worked there in the past, my waiter wasn’t ugly just not my type.  Plus he was not focused on me to the point I want to leave him the tip of you need to pay more attention to the customer.  The food was good and I opted not to get desert because I know I have been really, really bad from a dietary point of view.  That won’t stop me from getting a shake tomorrow morning. 

I went on to battle the Pet Food Store something I try to put off especially now that holiday shopping is in full force.  I hate the traffic, the crowds, the lines – it all sucks.  If I can get in and get out that’s fine.  The trip wasn’t as bad as I had planned it to be and I spent way more than I planned on.  However, it will keep the children happy and that’s what it’s all about. 

I came home and have been here ever since.  I am done for the day.  I got to watching TV and spending more time with the kids.  They didn’t want me to go to the basement.  I watched the boys.  Marv started to give Bear a bath and then they got into it.  Just playing but then they stopped and Bear had this death stare, I knew something was going down again.  With in seconds it did.  Then that was over and they fell asleep next to each other.  The two best brothers that ever lived.  I am so jealous of them.  They each compete with the other as to who can occupy the most of my time.  I hate being in the middle but welcome to the joy of cat ownership.

I bit the bullet and upgraded my screen capture software.  I use Snag It.  They have come out with several versions past what I had and the $24 was worth it.  It’s one of those must have pieces of software, regardless of the computer I am using.  It comes in handy when you least expect it.  I use it to grab pictures and to document things both at home and at work.  Speaking of work I really don’t look forward to going back to it, but it beats the alternative. 

Thankfully, I have 1 last day.  Breakfast out, grocery shopping, filling up the tank and then I will be home for the day.  Hopefully my trusty inner alarm clock will be working and I will be up by 8 or 830 and out the door by 9.  The sooner I get moving the sooner I can get home.  I didn’t accomplish anything other than seeing a movie and just loafing.  Hey it’s necessary and something that I wish I could do more often.  Everything else will come together eventually.

I feel so sorry for the kids, they will miss me and I will miss them but it’s only been 4 days and not 14 days so this shouldn’t be that traumatic for them.  We get to do it again next month but only for 3 days.  Same is true for January but we get to do it twice in January.  Once to ring in the new year and once to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr Day.  I’ll take that.  I have scheduled a doctors appointment in January and need to request time off.  That will be a 4 day weekend as well.  I see the doc on a Thursday.  He’s always off on Friday but then I can get my blood work done and presto I have the weekend – 4 days it’s awesome.  In case you can’t tell I am all about time off!

Well off to see what else Saturday night brings.  Momma’s playing and crying her head off.  Better now than at 2 am when I am sound asleep.  Yes, she really does it then.  That’s why if it’s a work night my White Noise Machine is on and my door is closed.  You can play and scream all you want to while Daddy enjoys a nice slumber.  If the house alarm goes off that will wake me white noise or no white noise – it’s loud and that is by design.  I need sleep in order to make money.  No sleep means no money and that means well you get the idea. 

The best part of all of this break is not having to be chained to my phone.  I can turn it off, I can put it in Airplane mode or I can put it on Do Not Disturb – all of which I have done at some point.  I make sure I am available for calls by forwarding my cell to my home  - no one calls.  If I didn’t forward I would surely miss something or someone.  That is just the way the game is played.

I hope all is well in your world.  Talk with you again soon.
