I had to go to the store and do all of my usual weekend running on Saturday. It worked out to my advantage, I got everything done and was able to stay home all day long. It’s been really nice and a productive day at that.
I fixed the screen in the front window, got the cables for the TV in the living room bundled and it looks so much better, then for the best and most taxing task of all I got Ruth’s claws trimmed. She bit me but thankfully I had the gloves on, otherwise I’d be on my way to the hospital.
All of the bills have been paid so we can stay here another month. I arranged for bush trimming from a new guy. My old lawn guy finally came through with the contract so that little bit of anxiety has been resolved. I did try to get multiple estimates but only one person got back with me. He was $5 higher than my regular guy and only wanted to cut for a couple months but wanted to lock me into a contract. I almost hired him. I’m happy this all fell into place.
Big Boy is loaded up with lumps, which I believe are tumors. Just because I said the word tumor doesn’t mean it’s cancer. He’s got a bite on his back that looked like it was a large pimple. I of course being the popping kind of guy, decided to lance it and give it a big old squeeze. He wanted to rip my hands off. Nothing but blood came out. The inflammation is down a little bit. I cleaned it up with alcohol and again he wasn’t terribly happy with me. I have been putting antibacterial ointment on it It apparently itches because he starts licking when I touch it. Under normal circumstances we would have had a visit to the vet but he’s doing everything normal. I don’t see any reason to disturb him or my wallet. My gut feeling isn’t a good one but I am just keeping an eye on him. He’s been through so much. We had a nice chat over the weekend and he knows where I stand. Normally you’d think a person talking to an animal was insane but some how me an this cat are in sync. I can tell what he wants just by the way he asks. It’s uncanny. I have never been this in sync with an animal. He is truly a special cat and he knows it.
I’ve been having some issues with my DVR where I go to watch a program and all I get is a black screen. Much to my displeasure I wiped the whole thing. I tried starting small and doing a minor reset but that didn’t seem to do the trick. I figured if I wiped everything and reset it that it would be as good as starting over. Then if the problem still exists I will have to place a service call to get a replacement. I’d like to avoid that if at all possible.
My eating habits have been horrible and I know it. I picked up a dozen donuts at the store and most of them are gone already. My favorite brownie cookies were apparently a temporary thing so I bought brownie ice cream bars. I got a cake last week and I am still working on polishing it off, which should happen tonight. I went out last night and got Mexican Food, which was really good but overpriced. It was nice to see a couple hot guys.
My employer is doing a lunch seminar on grieving. I pretty well figured I was an expert in this subject area but found out that there are a lot of things that I didn’t know. Like for example me keeping my late partners room like it was is called mummification. Seeing that in print was disturbing to me. From what little I saw I am still dealing with his passing and it’s not necessarily in a healthy way. I’m going to the seminar in the hopes that I can learn something. Today I made a major change in his room. It’s actually become more of a storage area with one side of the bed cleaned off so that I can sleep in it. I wish he had left the bathtub/shower alone then it would have been much easier for me to simply move in. Selling this place would be the very best mental thing for me but right now it’s just not an option way too much crap here and of course the cats. I know that if I leave I could turn a profit provided everything was in acceptable condition. As it is right now I think I could simply walk away and get the face value to cover the mortgage. So no loss but no gain either. Again not an option.
Momma is on my ass to take care of laundry and pass out some food. She knows my routine and that I am avoiding it. Rather than listen to her complain I am going to give in and take care of things. Plus I need to shave and shower. Then there is the matter of dinner, which of course will be frozen pizza. Looking forward to it since I paid $8 for some gourmet Tombstone, it better be damn good. Then there is the little matter of getting ready for Monday (yuk).
Life over all here is status quo. Outside of Big Boy nothing horribly wrong but also no over joyous news to share. I think that finding a boyfriend would cheer me up and help me deal with my loss in a much more positive way. I have had a few good candidates in the dating app I am using but thus far I have not matched with any of them.
Happy April and Happy Easter. Talk with you peeps later.
