Final Resting Place

I am happy to report that I was able to bring Ruth home on Saturday.  It was an emotional adventure but when it’s all said and done, I am glad she is in her final resting place.  I still miss her very much and this was opening an old partial healed wound but it had to be done.  Her name plate arrived on Saturday as well.  It doesn’t match the others but I did the best I could without having to use any additional credit. I sent a thank you letter to the funeral director that I worked with, it was very nice for him not to charge me. 

Hindsight is always 20/20 and I’ve let the vet take care of it and I have done it on my own.  The vet is easier but it costs more.  Doing it on your own takes more effort and you may not get the cremains back as quickly as you want.  I can’t say which way I will go next time but at least I know what to expect.  There was a 2nd funeral home involved with Ruth and I looked at their site, they will come get the animal and you will pay dearly for that service as well as the cremation process.  So I have yet another option at my disposal if needed. 

I accomplished most every task that I wanted to, it nearly killed me but I got it done.  I also got my hair cut again, it was looking a bit like a rag so I figured might as well trim it up.  I saved the task of cat liter for next weekend when I have more money.  Pay day is tomorrow and it’s nice that we have a peek ahead feature where the day before we can see what were getting.  That helps me get my bills paid and determine what little cash flow I will have left. 

I covered a portion of on-call for a co-worker yesterday and got a little bit of overtime, so that will help out.  I am on-call starting tomorrow morning and I so don’t look forward to it.  I have a million things going on my plate already and then tack that on it won’t be a good time.  However, I checked and were not in a full moon so maybe it won’t be nearly as bad as I am anticipating. 

Looking forward to an evening of great TV with The Circus, Shameless, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.  I still have archived shows from the weekend to watch and have grown fond of watching The Big Bang Theory re-runs.  That is my go to show.  A new season of Schitt’s Creek is on NextFlix, Making a Murderer Part 2 is either there or will be out shortly and tomorrow Ron White’s latest special will be available on Nextflix.  So I have plenty of variety.  I have also started watching a CNN Series on Netflix about the 90’s.  It’s rather entertaining thus far they have covered TV and Music. 

My furry family seems to be okay at the moment.  I’ve allowed them to sleep with me even during the week.  I feel that what ever time we have together will be too short and I want to maximize our time together as much as possible.  Not to the point where were getting on each others nerves but just to enjoy each other.  I love them all so much and not to sound depressing but fact of the matter is they will all be gone way too soon, even if it’s another 15 years from now it will still be too soon in my mind. 

On the dating front I got excited because I matched with a guy on Tindr.  He looks very nice, younger in his late 30’s and has some muscle as well as a great body.  I figured be bold and make the first move.  So I sent a message that was 3 days ago and I have still yet to hear from him.  I don’t get it, we match but then no one wants to chat.  What is the point?  I’m on there because I am looking for someone to date and if I match I will certainly try to strike up a conversation, being silent makes no sense to me.  I’ve come to the realization that I need to make it to a gay club, even though it’s not my scene, I feel my odds will increase.  I mean if you walk up to someone chances are they aren’t going to ignore you like they do on social media, or so I hope. 

I took a fair number of naps this weekend.  This afternoon Momma knew I was sleeping too long so she came and woke me up, which I am thankful for.  I needed to get moving and if I nap too much it runs the risk of interfering with my sleep.  I felt very fatigued with any physical activity.  I also feel like the last of whatever it is I had is working it’s way out of my system. So hopefully a few more days and I will feel more normal.  This will be my first full week so I hope I can make it through without collapsing. 

The new glasses are doing okay, they rub a bit on the side of my head and I get some occasional headaches from trying to figure out where to look so I can see something close up.  My brain I think is still adjusting but hopefully we will get there soon.  If the rubbing continues I will go back to get them adjusted.  They are super lightweight and I love that. 

So there you have it my weekend.  I hope yours was great.  The weather has turned colder here and I have actually turned on the Furnace it’s been in the 40’s already and mornings seem to be the worst.  Nothing like waking up to a cold house to get you motivate to move.  It’s only going to get worse with time because it’s that time of year again.  Then in 3 weeks we will have the end of Daylights Savings Time and that will really mess everyone up.  People won’t remember how to drive in the dark and it will just be bedlam for a few days.  However, with each passing day we are nearing closer to Thanksgiving as well as the end of the year.  Maybe things will be under control and I will finally be caught up by then, or so I hope. 

Best wishes for the week ahead.  Stay warm and be well.  Talk with you again soon.
