Average Sunday

I got up and got breakfast out for the kids.  Then sat with my phone for about a 1/2 hour to catch up on the world at large.  No emails from work, so that is a very good thing.  Then got dressed and got out the door.  First stop my usual Steak N Shake.  My favorite waitress was on vacation.  Her side kick  that I don’t care for much was there but she was sick, like so sick she shouldn’t have come to work.  Thankfully someone else came in and I got that waitress instead of the sickie.  Chowed down and then it was on to my next stop.  That would be the grocery store.  Zipped in and out, spent an okay amount of money.  Then home to unload and thaw out for a 1/2 hour. 

I sat with Marv on the couch and he snuggled with my arm again.  I got another good photo.  I showed him that I set it as my wallpaper, he knew it was him but outside of that I don’t know that he was terribly phased by it.  I left him on the couch since I knew he was relaxed.  I told him to take a nap but did he?  Of course not, you can’t command a cat like you can a  dog.  They are far too independent. 

Out the door I went to grab a haircut.  I walked in and we were all set to get started and then I heard you need cash today.  Our card machine isn’t working so if you don’t have cash you’ll have to leave and come back or just leave.  Fuck me.  I walked out and was determined not to go back but then it hit me, there is a grocery store near by.  Purchase something, get cash back.  I did that and went back.  Then I got pawned off on another stylist.  I left happy with my hair cut but not happy with the service.  So I filled out an on-line complaint form to provide feedback.  I think I will get a free hair cut out of it but time will tell.  What made things worse is that I looked at the grocery store receipt and there was a coupon for $5 off of a hair cut.  Seriously.  I already got a $5 discount from some goofy point system they have so my shampoo was free but $5 off of the haircut would have been even better.  I saved the coupon it’s good until April or May so I’ll use it for sure.  I don’t like ultimatums and that is what has my feathers ruffled.  I get the point and there is a way to convey that without upsetting anyone. 

Haircut is done and I am out and on to my next stop.  The gas station, where I only had to put in $7 worth of gas.  That came from filling up on Friday.  I always start the week off on a full tank, it’s just been my practice for years on end regardless of the weather.  Then on to my last and final stop which was home.  It’s really cold out here, more so than what we are used to.  So coming in to a nice warm house with three faces to greet me was very comforting. 

I had a couple Cherry Pies (small snack type things, where there is barley enough there to call it a snack).  Watched a little TV and then decided to take a nap.  Just as I drifted off someone decided to stir up a ruckus getting out of the litter box and it was enough to startle me awake.  I rolled over and when I woke up about an hour later all 3 cats were in my room.  Momma in the chair.  Gator in the bed with me.  Marv on the floor next to the bed.  We love each other and it shows. 

Did the house cleaning and cleaned up the back window on the vehicle.  It’s going to rain on Monday and the car washes (despite the temperatures) are packed full.  I am waiting until later in the week when I am off, the lines won’t be as long and there won’t be rain the forecast.  Until then it’s Windex and Paper towels. 

Lots of decent TV on this evening.  The Circus on Showtime, Fox has the Live version of RENT, Shameless on Showtime and Valley of the Boom parts 5 & 6 on NATGEO.  I am way early but momma was trying to get me away from the computer and upstairs.  It hasn’t worked yet but I will probably go up early.  I got some new Dark Raspberry Ice Cream that I am dying to dig into.  I need it like a hole in the head but that hasn’t stopped me before. 

So Monday will be calling soon.  Shame I can’t send it to voice mail.  Not looking forward to seeing the doctor later in the week but I am looking forward to time away.  Thinking of hitting up a fish fry on Friday.  It’s in my brothers neck of the woods and oddly enough they only take cash.  That’s not something I carry but knowing ahead of time helps so I will have to hit up an ATM.  If I don’t do that then I will likely either travel for pie or go to the buffet (which will be fish on Friday).  Doing something different and getting away for a bit is refreshing.  I don’t need to travel a miracle mile but a change of scenery is nice. 

Here’s hoping it’s a great week ahead for all of us.  Stay warm, well and have lots of good food.  Talk again soon. 

Pill Poppin’ Problems

Since were losing our good pharmacy benefit at work, I am trying to get my insurance figured out so that I can get my sleeping medicine.  Initially it appears that I need a pre-certification but after some talking tonight it sounds like I need an Administrative Coverage Review.  Doesn’t that sound messy?  Of course this part of the mail order pharmacy is only open m-f normal business hours.  So I will have to call on Monday.  I did learn that since I take 2 drugs and they are similar in class they count them as 1 drug.  So I can’t get a full 30 or 90 day supply of each.  It’s one or the other but not both.  Fuck.  It’s a merry go round with insurance companies and the bigger they are the more clueless their customer service is.  Since I see the doc on Thursday, I want to be sure that we get this figured out.  I just want my medicine and not a headache to go along with it.  Medicine can be expensive without any insurance and even though I am taking generic’s one of them is really expensive.  Generic is supposed to make it cheaper not more expensive.  The man has to make his money at the end of the day and that is what big pharma is all about, they could care less if their drug helps or hurts you, just as long as you buy it. 

My brother called last night just as I was eating.  I decided to change up and have Lasagna.  He told me that he took my advice and blocked the bimbo from calling or texting him.  He also is prevented from calling or texting her.  I told him that is the first step in the right direction.  He doesn’t want to change the locks on his house but he tells me how she had passed out keys to the place before like they were candy.  I told him all the more reason to change the locks again.  You made a mistake and it’s going to cost you, pay the price now or pay the price later.  I’d rather pay now because it’s cheaper to change the locks than to try to replace contents and/or fix damage.  His call to make, not mine. 

He inherited a cat.  Turns out his room mate which is the bimbo’s son was seeing a girl who moved in a few things and one of them was her cat.  They broke up and she came to get her stuff but left the cat behind.  Wow, he has to have sucker written on his face or something.  I told him make the kid take responsibility for the cat.  That is just plain crazy. 

Woke up this morning at a little before normal time, I tried to go back to bed but Gator had started crowing and the ruined it for me.  So I got up passed out breakfast for them.  It felt like I was dying from sinus issues.  I got my medicine and after a while things began to normalize.  Wow that was horrible.  I watched some TV and eventually crawled back into bed.  Finally rolled out of bed around 10a.  Made it out to Cracker Barrel had some Blueberry Pancakes, grabbed the mail and then came home.  I tried to get my haircut but the one experienced person that was working had a horrible wait time so I opted to pass.  I checked back throughout the day and things didn’t get better.  So I am going to try to fit it in on Sunday. 

While I was back home I took the time to take in some more TV and sat on the couch with Marv.  He fell asleep on my arm.  It was so cute.  I love spending time with him.  Wish that we could sleep together like in the days past.  Eventually I got sleepy and opted to go to my room.  I put him back on the floor so he wouldn’t fall.  Gator was in the middle of my bed under the cover.  I took a 2 hour nap and she never moved, I had to move around her.  Got up around 2.  Passed out lunch for the kids and I surfed on my phone.  Eventually decided that I wanted to go out for Pizza.  I wanted to travel but since I am on-call I kept it local.  Not a bad pizza but not exactly what I was in the mood for.  I grabbed cat food and then came home.  Started on the phone with the insurance company and laundry.  Then made my way through the mail and here I am.  Wicked exciting I know. 

Many years back I bought a Bowflex, it wasn’t cheap but I paid for it over time on credit.  It has been mildly used.  I want a Bowflex body but I don’t want to do the work.  My brother wants to buy it from me.  I had someone else interested years past but declined the offer.  I am considering either taking my brothers money or getting him to fix up a couple things around my house and take the item in trade for his labor.  We have to chat but I wanted to do some research so I knew it’s worth.  I’ve still got a treadmill and a stationary bike.  I used be working away but once again I want the body but don’t want to do the work.  Having a better looking body would help me in my quest for a man.  I certainly want a good looking hunk of a man.  That said there is more to it than looks but they are certainly what draws you in.  Everyone tells me that I look like I am 30, I’m letting that help me but my gut isn’t doing me any favors.  I want a man but since I can’t have one, I get what I can and that is plenty of food. 

So it’s colder than an ice cube here and people are getting their cars washed in droves.  The weather is going to be dry for a few days and it’s like everyone wants to celebrate.  I need mine washed very bad but I am not about lines.  Eventually the crowd will clear out and then I can strike when the timing is right.

Not sure how well I will sleep tonight.  I am tired now but really don’t want to go to bed this early in the evening because I may fall asleep but I won’t stay asleep and that could detract from my productivity tomorrow.  I don’t like the fact that I have insomnia and when it acts up, it’s not fun.  Keeping a set schedule for sleeping helps. 

Looks like our government will be back in business.  That is such a cluster fuck.  I don’t talk about politics much but it’s kind of interesting that the shutdown is temporarily over and the Showtime series The Circus premiers it’s next season starting tomorrow night.  I will bet anything that will be a greatly entertaining show.  I really wish we had a different leader for our country and I know that I am not alone.  However, we have a ways to go before we get to our next election.  I personally think right now that Elizabeth Warren would make a most excellent president out of everyone who is throwing their hat in the ring.  I was alive to see the first Black president elected and take office.  I hope that I am alive to see the first women president elected and take office.  Then maybe push it further and the first openly gay president elected and taking office.  That’s seeing a lot in a lifetime but I realize that before you know it I will be a dinosaur. 

Hopefully you are having a great weekend and staying warm.  Enjoy your weekend and I will holler at you again soon.  Be well. 

Once again … it’s over

I found a porn scene that I was eager to watch yesterday evening.  I was looking forward to it.  As per usual there was an interruption.  I got a late evening phone call from my brother.  He started out by telling me he bought a ginormous television set.  Then he started in on his failed relationship again.  Well turns out it’s over yet again.  He thought they were working on things and like a dumb ass he gave her a key to his place after he changed the locks.  When he told me that I said are you fucking kidding me, what were you thinking.  He said oh I was foolish and thought we were working on things and would get back together.  Then he tells me she put stipulations on there getting back together she wants a ring and her name on the title of the house.  I told him you put her name on the house and it won’t be long, you will wind up dead and I am not kidding around.  She wants that house and since he was dumb and told her about the ring that she wasn’t getting for Christmas now she wants that too.  Well from what he is telling me they still argue all the time when they see each other.  She never takes responsibility for her actions, it’s always someone else at fault but not her.  So she told him the other day after an argument that she was going to change her address and come get the rest of her stuff, they were done and over.  He said that this time he is going to hold her to it.  I think it may have actually finally sunk in that it’s time they both part ways.  Then again I have thought the same thing in the past and he goes crawling back to her.  I can’t tell you how sick and tired I am of hearing about her.  Put a steak in the ground, agree that your done, block her phone number, change the locks and forget that you ever knew each other.  This will be the very best thing for both of them.  It’s a highly toxic relationship and this waffling isn’t helping anyone, if anything it is making things worse.  I did get to watch the porn scene and it just didn’t do much for me.  At least I got to watch it. 

On a different note just before he called I was finishing up watching Smoky & The Bandit Part II.  I remember watching that as a kid and laughing.  There was some great acting and humor in all of those films.  Unfortunately I was watching an edited version so all of the good sware lines were changed.  That really changes things and not in a good way. 

It was an otherwise uneventful evening.  I had to listen to Marv do his meow cry.  I actually wonder if he is in pain, mourning, depression or if he is just doing it for attention.  When I go look at him and touch him he stops.  If I ask from afar for him to stop meowing it takes several times but eventually it works.  We got in a nice game of ball while I was talking to my brother.  Marv was all over the place with the ball.  I had 3 of them and he just didn’t know what to do.  He was in a biting mood last night and he loved to send them flying in a different direction.  We keep each other guessing as to what our next move will be.  It’s a lot of fun but I have to play standing up and after a long work day it doesn’t take much to tire me out.  I’m older, out of shape and tired.  Gator and I got in some petting.  She loves to meow while I am petting her as if she wants something else.  I have no idea what she is saying but I know she loves to mess with me.  Momma was content sitting next to me and she fell asleep in the most cutest position.  I love to watch a sleeping cat, that’s when they are angels.  I miss seeing Ruth like that, when she was awake she was hell on wheels but sleeping she looked like the most innocent and sweetest thing.  If you woke her up from a deep sleep, she was kind and sweet until she realized you were touching her and then all hell broke loose. 

I use cloud storage from Amazon to backup and store all of my photos from my phone.  They have memories from years past each day.  A couple times a week I have been seeing photos of her and Bear.  Yesterday I got Bear, Ruth and my late spouse.  Wow a triple play.  I miss them all so very much.  Seeing photos does bring back happy memories and better times.  Shame none of us can go back in time to relive those days of glory. 

So were in the bitter cold temperatures.  For the first time I put my gloves on.  I stopped to gas up the vehicle so as to not have a frozen fuel line or worse yet run out of gas because I was stuck in a traffic jam.  We don’t have any precipitation right now but there is some snow on the way later tonight.  It may start during the evening rush but won’t amount to much.  There is more snow and cold temperatures in the long range forecast, so it could get interesting. 

Weekend will be here in a couple hours.  I plan on having more Canadian Pizza tonight.  It was a toss up between that and Lasagna.  The pizza requires the oven and that produces heat that helps to warm the house so why not.  Neither one is a healthy option but they both will fill the hole in my stomach and both taste good.  Like every other day of the week that I work, I am eager to get home and see the kids.  No real plans for the weekend.  Grabbing the mail tomorrow, I can’t believe that I have reduced myself to only getting mail one time per week.  I live for the mail but for the amount I get 1 time a week is plenty, unless I am expecting a shipment or money and neither happens that often.  Going out to eat for breakfast and lunch, hitting up the grocery store and maybe a haircut.  That’s about it.  Watching TV and surfing the web plus you know me I will work in a nap as well if I don’t wind up sleeping most of the day away.  Got to listen for da phone since I am on call. 

Stay warm & well.  Talk again soon. 

Hair Glue

Happy almost Friday!  My hair is in need to be cut or at the very least trimmed.  I like short hair but I have given thought on growing mine out.  Problem is it gets to a certain length (which is still short) and I can’t take it and have to chop it off.  To help make it do what I want it to I used some Hair Glue this morning.  It’s by Spiker.  It’s nothing more than a firm hair gel.  But it acts more like super glue for your hair.  I put on way too much and then it dried.  It was like I was raking my hair.  I used to use product all the time and now it’s an occasional thing.  I like it when it does what I want it to.  I wear a hat since it’s cold out and when I got to work my hair looked horrible.  Off to the bathroom to try to fix it with a pocket brush and some water.  It is no where near perfect for me but it will do.  I will probably be going for a haircut over the weekend.  Right now I just want a shampoo in the worst way.  I smell this glue and it flakes, looks like I have a serious case of dandruff. 

Work was jumping this morning.  More last minute new hires that all start on Monday.  Then I find out there might be another one but I won’t know until late in the day on Friday.  I hope were done for now.  The boss sent me an email asking me to gather some data and copied his boss.  I hate that.  The work was done in about 20 minutes.  It’s sitting in my drafts folder and I will be sending it out soon.  I don’t want them to think I have nothing to do by responding quickly, which is what they are used to.  I figure make them wait a bit.  I don’t need to get myself buried with so much work I can’t breathe. 

Last night was a first.  I gave Marvin some lunch meat.  It was rotisserie chicken.  It was a small nibble because he was crying and around the corner from him I was trying to fix my lunch.  He just didn’t know what to do with it and finally he ate it.  Poor thing I think it tore him up, it was either that or a can of new cat food.  I like to change things up for them once and a while.  I mean I get tired of the same flavor of oatmeal and they have to get tired of the same flavor of cat food.  I know they do when the entire can sits. 

I have also noticed that water consumption amongst the furry 3 is down.  Marv is the heavy water drinker.  I’m worried about him, but he’s eating.  I passed out treats last night and he chomped on them.  We had our attention time and took in the entire episode of Suits even though it was on at 9.  I managed to stay up until 10 and then it was lights out. 

Bitterly cold here tonight.  I really enjoy being able to schedule my vehicle to start up.  The heated seat is warm and the heater is running.  It’s the best way to get into a vehicle before you embark on an hour journey home.  Same is true for summer with ac and ac seat.  I don’t use the feature that often but when I do I am reminded how nice it is.  Last night I took a couple extra minutes to get to the car and it was all the better.  I’ve got it set to run for 10 minutes and if it doesn’t see me in person then it shuts off.  I also have the option of extending the time remotely if I desire.  It’s a perk that the manufacturer builds in and then after a couple years they start charging you for the service.  I’ve still got a couple years to go before we hit that point but I’ll bet it’s not cheap.

As you can probably guess I am so looking forward to heading home.  I enjoy the time I have with the kids.  I have had the fortune of being able to take care of my evening computer playing tasks from work and then I don’t even have to go to the basement.  It gives me more time with them and they all enjoy that.  Honestly, so do I.  Shame it’s not Friday but next week at this time I will be off on Thursday and Friday, so I have that to look forward to.  Plus next Thursday is payday.  This check will reflect my true earnings with my promotion and what I will be able to count on as a solid amount each payday, until raise time in the summer.  I hope that it gives me the boost I want and if so and I see a decent amount left over I will increase my contribution to my 401K for greater savings and a better match.  Right now I’m in but at the minimum and I know that long term it won’t cut the mustard.  I honestly don’t plan on retirement, thinking that I won’t live that long.  However, I didn’t think I would make it to my present age and here I am.  So retirement is probably in my future but a ways off.  Might as well try to prepare myself and sock away as much as I can. 

Well back to ye old salt mine.  I hope that your week is going well and that your staying warm.  If your in Australia or some place tropical where the weather is nice and not on the cold side, know that I am jealous!

Back to normal

So tomorrow will be Monday on a Tuesday.  I like short work weeks but the only problem is everyone tries to cram that extra day in to one if not more than one of the working days. 

I have enjoyed my time away, even if it was only 1 extra day.  It feels like I have been off for a week and I honestly don’t want to go back.  I love sitting on the couch with Marv as he takes possession of my arm and hand and snuggles up to me and falls asleep.  Just looking around and seeing everyone sleeping and content is such a blessing and so very enjoyable. 

This morning I had breakfast at Cracker Barrel.  Got some Gas for the vehicle.  Came home and resumed laundry and cleaning.  Got in a 1/2 hour nap.  Spent time with Marv.  Got my vehicle windows cleaned and took out the trash.  Then showered and shaved.  Got the bed changed and put my foam cushion back on the bed for what I hope will be a better nights rest.  Finished off the casserole.  Had some cookies and way too much soda.  Lunch and Breakfast are ready to go.  Pills are out for the kids.  Now all I need to do is trim my claws, brush my teeth and turn out the lights. 

Momma is telling me we are past normal time.  So that means I can’t talk too much longer.  Backed up my iPhone to my computer.  Picked out new tunes to sync up.  Wow music it’s so powerful.  You can feel such a wide range of emotions just from a song.  You can be on top of the world and feel great, then hear a song and everything comes crashing down.  At least that is true for me.  I try to steer clear of those sad songs and stay with up beat music.  I listen to Instrumental Jazz during the work day it keeps me focused.  Plus it helps to drown out a little of the background noise I have to put up with.  The joys of cube life. 

Going up to watch some re-runs of the Big Bang Theory.  American Greed is on at 9 so that will be good.  The question is will I be able to stay awake for it?  Once I relax, I doze off.  That’s why I record everything I am interested in so that I can rewind and pick up from the part where I fell asleep at. 

Momma has wondered off so I am going to grab my laundry and join her and the rest of the family on the main level where we shall pass away the rest of the night.  Shameless was on last night and I thought it was horrible.  Hopefully, things get better.  Suits will be back on Wednesday and I am so looking forward to seeing what Louis & Harvey are up to.  That show is not the same without Mike but just like with life, the show must go on. 

As usual I hope your warm, safe and doing well.  I will talk with you peeps again soon.  Take care and be well.  

Drugs

With my good prescription discount leaving I have been searching for alternatives.  There is a site called goodrx.com they can find you savings on medications and you can print free coupons to get the discount.  If you’d prefer not to print coupons you can join their gold program for $5.99 per month for a single person or $9.99 for families.  You get a card to carry and present it at the pharmacy.  They claim you will get 90% better price than the cash price.  That’s well and good but what about my cats?  They have a goodrx for pets but they also talk about a site called Heartland Vet Supply.

I just priced out my sudafed for 3 months I was paying $18 – the retail price is $90.  I found a coupon that takes the cost down to $26.40.  That is a slight increase and beats paying the $90 so I will be using this.  I priced out my cat’s medicine and both medicines are $55 for 3 months.  So I guess I’ll be having my vet reach out to them as soon as I can spare the money to take them in.  I was in more than a slight panic over losing discount pricing through work but turns out the discounts are out there, you just have to look for them!

It’s been a productive day.  I woke up at 7a.  I wasted sometime at home before I ventured out into the 11 degree weather.  I realize that depending on where your at that could sound like a heat wave.  In any case I made it to Steak N Shake for breakfast which was a nice warm bowl of chili followed by a Frisco Melt with Bacon, Fries and washed it all down with a couple Diet Coke’s.  The older guy that takes care of kids and some of us adults was there.  I noticed he had what looked like a book on his table and I asked about what it was.  He said it was a cigar box.  How interesting.  He wound up giving it to this little girl telling her to use it as a treasure box.  He’s always doing kind gestures like that.  While he was tied up giving that box away I paid his check.  Then it was on to the grocery store and finally the post office.  I had plenty of mail waiting for me. 

I came home to warm up because I thought my hands were going to fall off.  I have gloves but don’t usually wear them because they are bulky.  I wound up settling in and taking a nice nap with the kids.  Momma had the bed.  Gator and I had the chair.  Marv was behind me in the chair.  Not a sound in the air and it was so peaceful I just couldn’t resist. 

When I woke up it was off to Target, Pet Food Store and Sam’s.  As I came out of Sam’s it was snowing.  I guess that was the snow we were supposed to get yesterday.  I was going out for supper but the snow put a damper on that.  I had a casserole that I picked up at Target.  I’m not afraid of the snow but why go out if you don’t have to?  I need gas so I will go out to breakfast tomorrow, mail some letters and gas up.  Then home for the rest of the day.  I am working on laundry.  Fed the kids and did some letter writing.  It’s all business and it’s arguing which I am kind of tired of. 

Last night was productive as well.  I first solved a performance problem on my HP Desktop.  There was an HP Touchpoint Program running.  From what I saw on the web it uses up plenty of processor power as well as sending HP information about your machine.  It’s kind of like spyware but HP doesn’t call it that.  In any case I stopped it and wow it’s like I have a new machine again.  I originally blamed my new online backup program and made changes to it, which I undid last night after I found that other piece of software.  So if you have an HP machine and your having a similar problem look for that Touchpoint Program. 

The other technological advance I made was with my WIFI Router.  When I configured it originally WIFI calling worked on my cell phone.  Then one day months ago it stopped working.  I had no idea how to get it working again.  I did some googling and got an idea, sure enough it paid off.  I had to enable IPSEC.  I put my phone in airplane mode and then took it out.  Bingo WIFI Calling was on.  It’s kind of hit and miss, which is how it behaved before but at least it’s back.  I have it when I am at work and figured why not have it at home.  When it works it’s very handy, especially at work since the building is full of metal and cell reception is hit or miss, unless you go into an office or by a window. 

Working on laundry, I’ll be loading the dishwasher in a while and headed for bed.  Tomorrow will be finishing up on laundry, vacuuming and then relaxing as I mentally prepare for what I am sure will be a hellish and busy week.

Tax time is something that I sort of look forward to.  I got my first form from work.  Waiting on a few more and as soon as they are all in, I will file.  The sooner your file the greater your chances for cutting down on fraud.  The state I work in had their tax tables redone so the word is out that if you got a refund last year, expect to pay this year if you don’t break even.  Looks like all I can hope for is a decent federal refund, which hopefully will happen.

The scanner is full of car accidents and I am so very happy that tomorrow is a holiday and even more so that I am in my nice warm house instead of stuck in traffic.  I feel sorry for those people who manage to get in wrecks in this type of weather.  Best tip I ever got was to pretend like there is a raw egg between your foot and the gas pedal.  You don’t want the egg to break so don’t press hard on the gas.  It’s honestly so simple.  That applies to snow and ice but on ice you have to be extra diligent about your surroundings.  I kind of wish this would all end so I can have a clean vehicle again, if only for a few days.  Driving with dirty windows in the dark is no fun.  Hell I don’t really like driving in the dark, I guess I am getting old. 

Cheers for now!

Eyesight

Friday was off and running as I jumped out of bed and began running on the usual treadmill.  As I was drying off and getting out of the shower something went horribly wrong.  It felt like a piece of thread from the towel got stuck in my eye.  Remember being told not to rub your eyes?  Well that goes out the window when something gets stuck in them.  I tried flushing, rubbing even using some canned air.  All of which have helped me before but failed this time.  It was painful but I got things to a manageable point and jumped back on the treadmill.  Out the door I went and once I got on the freeway my eye really started to bother me.  I removed my glasses and started rubbing, I got an idea to hold my cold soda up to my eye and wow that really helped out a lot.  Eventually things settled down and I was able to make it to the office.  Once I got in my cube I broke out the lubricating eye drops and just tried to flush it out.  I did feel better but still in pain because it felt like there was a grain of sand in my eye.  It wasn’t until close to lunch when I removed my glasses and began rubbing my eye that what ever was in there finally worked it way out.  I was so thankful but at the same time worried about how things would be come Saturday.  Well Saturday is here now and everything is a okay.  My eye lid is a bit sore from all of the rubbing but otherwise I am fine. 

Another storm was predicted for our area but thankfully it wasn’t supposed to start until after the evening rush.  As I was on my way home it started to sprinkle.  The temps were below freezing and the rain was supposed to turn to snow.  Well surprise all we got was some rain and a bit of ice out of it.  There isn’t any snow outside.  Lots of wind but I still decided to keep with what was a guaranteed solution to keep me safe and that was staying home.  It’s about 10 minutes until 8 in the evening and I never, ever ventured outside or even opened the door to the garage.  I’ve been binge watching Frankie & Grace and then on to other TV when that was done.  I have had my nap.  Never took my morning pills or had breakfast.  Had a wonderful dream where I saw Big Boy (aka Bear) it was awesome.  I just finished up 20/20 on the Jim & Tammy Story from last night.  I decided to come check on my office since I haven’t been down here for a few days.  Everything is still in tact and there were no surprises waiting for me. 

An announcement came out on Friday about my promotion.  My bosses boss sent it because he’s a power hungry control freak.  He didn’t want to send it in the first place but I kept applying pressure and it finally worked.  My boss is out of the office but when we talk on Tuesday I’m going to tell him I sent a thank you message to his boss followed by the comment of Grandma was slow because she was old, what’s your excuse?  I just want to see his face over the video phone it will be priceless.  I didn’t and wouldn’t send such an email but I did think about it for a bit.  It’s funny how I talked about potentially leaving my job and then I get an email of all of these opportunities available to me from a professional social network.  If you didn’t know otherwise you would think our lives are bugged and hell to an extent they are but I don’t believe just because I say chocolate chip cookie that I am going to get coupons for chocolate chip cookies.  If I do then I will start talking about my need for large sums of cash and well maybe that’s how I will make millions. 

It’s been a very enjoyable day being lazy and lounging around.  Now the work has to get done, so tomorrow I will start with my usual routine and then make a couple of extra trips out.  Start the laundry and maybe just maybe take myself out for dinner.  I kind of wish that I would have gotten in gear today but am also thankful that I had the option to make a choice.  Every time I heard a siren I thought to myself they probably should have stayed home like I did. 

By the way my calendar looks, Tuesday will be a busy day and also the start of an on-call week for me.  To my advantage it’s 1 day short of the usual full 7 days.  That is thanks to the holiday we get on Monday.  Unless it’s going to snow buckets in the middle of the week I am done with winter messing with my weekends. 

I hope all is well in your world and that your staying warm.  I am off to go surfing on the web, at least that way I won’t drown.  Cheers and we shall talk again soon. 

Another day

I realize that yesterdays post didn’t exactly paint me in a favorable light. I think that I am more desperate for a guy than anything and emotions over rule logic.  It was late last night or possibly early this morning when I discovered the best way to move forward.  I deleted all of the photos I had of my co-worker, in case you are wondering they weren’t nudes just average day pictures.  That way I don’t see his face when I open my phone and the old theory that my grandfather taught me will come to pass.  That theory I reference is out of sight, out of mind.  I’ve heard his name more this week than ever but I think that I am a bit hypersensitive.  The thought of having a Twink for a boyfriend sounds appealing but it’s unrealistic.  I can’t help the type of guy that I want or that I am attracted to .  I don’t think that age should play into things but the truth is that it plays more into it than you want it to.  Sure my last relationship worked even though we were light years apart in age, but I think that was an exception and not the standard.  I don’t know if I will ever find a boyfriend but that doesn’t mean I won’t stop trying.  I may put the search on pause for a while from time to time but it’s just to take a break. 

I am looking forward to the 3 day weekend that we will have, even if one of those days I will be mostly holed up in the house.  It kind of depends on the weather and how much pain my muscles give me.  Taking a muscle relaxer and sleeping for several hours does have it’s appeal.

I had an enjoyable evening with the furry family.  Chicken Noodle Soup for supper followed by a Cinnabon Muffin.  Mix in some phone time, some petting time and some TV time and it was a good evening.  Looking forward to doing it again tonight but this time I think I will have Spaghetti for supper, it sounds really good at the moment. 

Work is rather boring today. I got my morning tasks done and there is one quick task for the afternoon, followed a few hours later by a conference call.  Then my day is done.  I do enjoy the lull but it’s also boring and makes for a longer day than I really want. 

I’m sure you noticed that I changed up the mast.  That is the Mont Blanc logo done in a rainbow of colors.  I believe it’s on display at their factory in Germany.  They make writing instruments, watches and other accessory type items.  None of which are cheap, unless your buying counterfeits.  They are one of my main loves when it comes to writing instruments and I am lucky enough to have several genuine writing instruments.  I treasure each and everyone of them.  Plus like food, air, water and men, I want more!

So that’s all of the babble I can compose for now.  Keeping my chin up, looking forward to lunch and quitting time.  Off to see what I can find on my phone and keeping an eye out for an issues that pop up.  Happy Thursday! 

Anxiety

I have been watching snapchat’s of a guy that I like at work for quite sometime.  He has no idea who I am.  I did a screen shot of a snap he posted and he messaged me asking why I did it.  I have grabbed other shots in the past and he never said a word.  I figured it was best to ignore him because it would just lead to more questions.  The biggest one being, who are you.  I wasn’t prepared for that.  He did exactly what I thought he would and he dropped me as a friend.  I don’t know if I am blocked but I know that I don’t get his updates any longer.  I think I caused him to be more aware of his security settings and not to be so trusting.  He is a million miles away from me and that combined with our age difference I know that I never had a chance with him for anything serious and/or a friendship.  I hate that my action/inaction caused him problems and really want to reach out but it’s best to not kick a sleeping dog.  This whole mess has caused me some anxiety and I have lost a bit of sleep over it.  I liked what I had going but I suppose everything changes. 

Traffic here has been horrible.  I sat in a jam for an hour yesterday on the way to work.  I eventually was able to bypass it and never ever saw so many tow trucks in my life.  Nothing in the media but if there is a minor fender bender it makes the news.  I got an alert this morning to detour and listened to my Waze app.  It saved me more aggravation.  There is more bad weather headed our way but it is not supposed to hit until late Friday night.

I watched a Netflix documentary at lunch today about Root Canals.  They are linked to so many health problems.  It was very eye opening and something that I would have never thought of.  It was just one of those things that I said when browsing I need to watch this some day and added to my list.  Incidentally in case you haven’t heard Netflix is raising their prices by $2. 

My discount pharmacy benefit that I get from work is being discontinued as of the end of the month.  I am not happy about that but it is what it is.  My doctor is going to have some work for preauthorization to do.  Going back to mail order for most everything isn’t the end of the world.  However, the discount on the pet prescriptions will be missed.  I know that if I do some research I will be able to find better than retail pricing but I will never ever see discounts like what I was get.  We were told that it was due to low utilization.  Funny thing is a good portion of people that I work with use the service, so I have no idea how they can say we don’t use it enough.  I think it was costing them a serious chunk of change and they want to save money.  They keep taking benefits away instead of adding them.  When I first started here it was amazing and now it’s just a job.  I am slightly soured on the company because of my promotion and because they haven’t communicated to everyone that I got a promotion.  I have given consideration to leaving but honestly I am really comfortable.  I may look but really doubt that I will actually leave. 

I got to spend last night with the family watching TV. I plan on doing the same thing tonight.  It’s nice to relax after a long work day.  I made it to the 1/2 way point of the week.  2 more days to go. 

Hope that your doing well and staying warm.  Hopefully, life is being kind to you.  Talk again soon. 

Canadian Pizza & Sex Ed

Another week has come to an end.  It’s been a busy one, no doubt!  Thursday I got the massage I wanted but holy hell I was really worked over.  My neck is still sore and Friday I just wanted to stay in bed all day.  I’ve done the ice pack and hot shower thing.  Tonight I think it’s time to visit my old friend Mr. Heating Pad.  There are some serious knots on my back.  Shame I can’t just have them surgically removed.  Friday brought a whole new challenge, we had a major snow storm hit the area.  There hasn’t been this much snow around in many years.  So the massive snow dump I wanted came but I didn’t want it to ruin a weekend but rather a work week.  In any case I spoke with the boss and listened to the medias warning to head home early on Friday.  I asked about leaving and was told to “update my time card accordingly”.  Yeah he promoted me and has already forgotten that I am salaried, so there is no time card to update.  This is gimme time as I don’t plan on using my time.  That makes up for the short lunches all week long in my book.  I purchased a store brand pizza last week and as I was reading the instructions on cooking it, I noticed that it was made in Canada.  Never had Canadian Pizza.  It was good.  I had most of it last night but managed to save a slice for breakfast and now it’s gone. 

Saturday morning was dubbed Stay Home Saturday.  Yeah most people actually listened.  I got out this afternoon and there wasn’t a whole lot of people out.  The pet food store closed at 5p due to the weather.  The roads were actually fine.  However, there was rain falling and more snow.  It’s supposed to snow all night long so tomorrow will be challenging. 

I made it to grab the mail, get a bite to eat and do some guy watching.  A cute waiter was working and I had the chance to talk to him and make a move but I passed it up.  I am not 100% sure of his age, I think he is legal but I don’t know that he is gay.  It was difficult not to engage him in conversation but ah well.  I also grabbed cat food and then came home.  I needed to hit up Target & Sam’s but I just gave up. 

Last week I noticed one of my boot laces was frayed so time for a new pair of laces.  That cost me $26 because I went on Amazon to get them.  They were like $6 but there was a plethora of other things that I decided that I had to have.  That’s the problem with shopping on Amazon.  I placed my order and then BOOM my Prime Membership renewed on top of that so there is another $119.  Damn, talk about bad timing. 

There is a new series on Netflix called Sex Education.  It’s a bunch of teenagers learning all about Sex.  It appears to be based in London.  I don’t do foreign TV or Film but this sucked me right in.  Sadly there is only 1 season and a mere 9 episodes.  I started watching last night and finished up this morning.  I’m ready for Season 2 already.  Next Friday the next installment of Grace & Frankie will be available, can’t wait for that.  All sorts of good stuff to watch now that the holidays are done.

On my way home yesterday through the storm I got a text message from one of my banks that a charge was just made.  I knew instantly that it was a porn subscription renewing, based on the amount.  They tend to bill when they want to rather than following a rigid 30 day schedule.  In this case they shouldn’t have billed for a few more days.  This has been going on for quite sometime and I have been a member for years.  One thing led to another and before I knew what happened I cancelled my subscription.  I had a very discounted rate and it’s kind of sad.  However, there Roku app is broken so if I wanted to watch any of their content I have to view on-line or download it and watch on my PC.  I still have another month but after that were done.  Oddly enough I don’t really have second thoughts about it.  I’m going to be saving a couple hundred dollars over the course of a year so that is a plus in my book. 

I was on social media and saw a porn star that I really like deciding to criticize another person.  His remark just set off a nerve in me and I have unfollowed him.  Fuck the negative I have enough of that in my life.  This is a new year and I am going to try to make it a better year for me. 

Finally the best news for last.  My friend who was scheduled to loose his job later this month called and told me tonight that they gave him an extension until March.  I told him not to be overly confident but that he may get a couple of extensions.  He apparently is the only one who knows what the fuck is going on at his company and without him I think a lot of shit will fall apart.  Kind of similar to me.  The show must go on and were all replaceable so while things may be difficult for the business they aren’t going to stop just because one person fell off the payroll. 

Well time to go load the dishwasher and prepare for Sunday.  Looking forward to a hot bowl of Chili and a nice burger for breakfast tomorrow.  Hopefully I will see kind and familiar faces.  A quick run through the grocery store and a stop at the gas station and I will be home for the day.  I’m not shoveling my driveway, my AWD SUV is coming in mighty handy right about now.  So glad that I have it.  I also found out on my commute home on Friday that the heated mirrors actually do work.  That is a wonderful feature being able to see what is coming up behind you. 

Here’s hoping your warm and safe.  One more day of relaxation and then it’s back to the grindstone.  Take care and be well.  Talk again soon. 

Sanity on Sunday

I think that I finally got some sanity back today.  Shame it will all be gone come tomorrow morning.  Back to a 5 day work week plus all of the holiday vacationers will officially be back to work.  So traffic and parking will both suck but hopefully things won’t be too bad.  We’ve got 2 weeks and then we get a holiday with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  It’s 1 day off but it makes for a 3 day weekend so I’ll take it.  I have officially put in to take the 31st of January and 1st of February off.  Going to the doctor on Thursday and not sure what I will do with myself on Friday but I hope to have some fun.  Maybe make it to the breakfast buffet that I have always wanted to visit. 

My brother made me mad tonight.  I haven’t heard from him all day long so I figured I should check on him since it’s around 5p.  Called no answer.  Sent a text and got an answer in a few minutes.  He just got out of the shower and says he feels better.  He said he threw up because he smoked too many cigarettes.  Not sure if that is possible but okay.  So I called him and figured we could chat a bit but I got a text back that he couldn’t talk.  The bimbo wanted to talk and he was going out.  Funny how he was all depressed yesterday and couldn’t manage to make it here but he can still make time for that bimbo and go out with her.  I’m ready to block him again.  It’s his life but don’t play me like that.  I wasted an hour and put my life on pause yesterday for him and when he didn’t show it was mildly aggravating. I won’t pause my life for him again like that. 

My favorite waitress at Steak N Shake went home sick.  I noticed today she has a cult like following.  So many people were asking about her.  It disappointed so many peoples day that she wasn’t there.  Ah well, hopefully she will feel better soon.  Fingers crossed that she is there next Sunday.  This hot guy walked in and of course he works there.  I got that his name was Alex.  I kept looking at him and honestly I don’t think he’s old enough to be legal.  He was hot until that fact set in.  Looking never hurt anything but touching or acting well that can hurt everything.  I told a co-worker last week about another co-worker in a different office that I have been crushing on.  He said dude your a cradle robber.  I told him I them young and the heart wants what the heart wants.  In this case my crush is 24 ish years old.  Yeah that  is young but he’s legal.  He wouldn’t give me the time of day if I was in his neck of the woods and tried to approach him.  Speaking of which I am still on my electronic quest on 2 apps now to try to find a guy.  No luck thus far but who knows, this may be my year. 

Got to air up my tires a job which I hate.  I bought an aftermarket sensor kit and when you take the sensors off, sometimes you play hell getting them to read again.  Removing and replacing the battery usually does the trick.  They are not 100% accurate but they give me a good indication of how much air is in the tire.  I am supposed to run at 35psi.  I used to inflate them to 40psi but stopped that and now I am closer to 35 if you believe the sensor.  I need an accurate air dispenser that will show me digitally how many pounds are actually in the tire.  That would make me more comfortable provided it was accurate.  There is the government mandated tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that is built in, it will tell me if I am under pressure, usually when there is a drop of 5psi or larger.  That only went off once and it was in my accident late last year.  I cleaned the back window, which will be dirty sooner rather than later because rain is in the forecast.  I’ll enjoy it clean while it lasts. 

Bought the best two things at the grocery store.  The first was 4 Reese’s Peanut Butter Muffins.  They are chocolate muffins filled with Reese’s Peanut Butter.  Expensive as all get out but so good.  The other thing I haven’t tried yet but will be in a short while, that’s Pineapple Rum Ice Cream.  It has graham crackers in it.  Sounds delicious and while I don’t drink I do like Rum in moderation.  I have had to self medicate and increase my diabetes medicine.  Watching my sugars and they are soaring way too high.  My doctor will make permanent changes to the medicine eventually.  Try as I might I am a sugar addict and loves all sorts of sweet things from boys to muffins.  Milkshakes to Cheesecake.  It’s a coping mechanism that I found comforting as a child and have carried into adulthood.  So much so that I have this disease now that I really don’t want but can’t seem to control my urges.  I do better at certain times than others but right now with the holidays that wasn’t a good time of year.  Valentines Day won’t exactly be a hoot either but maybe eventually I can dial things back to a more healthier dosage of sugar.  Funny thing is that everything has sugar in it. 

Spent time with the furry monsters today.  Marvin tore up my arm when I carried him from upstairs to downstairs because I was going to vacuum.  I should have let him navigate the steps on his own but didn’t want to risk him falling or hurting himself.  I got my room clean for the first time in a couple weeks.  It won’t last long so I will enjoy it while I can.  Clean sheets and a clean floor, a little extra sleeping medicine and this should be a great night for me.  So long as I sleep alone.  I did have a nap today but it was only an hour and then Gator like a good girl wouldn’t allow me to go back to sleep because it was lunch time.  Yeah they have me well trained here.  Marv is duplicating his brothers habits of bring my food to me and rotate the plate.  It’s funny but it does get old at times.  They know that I will literally do anything for them, they just have to ask or tell me what they want/need.  Crazy how much you sink into them between food, water and medical care.  Totally worth every penny. 

Well on that note I am going to grab my whites out of the dryer, head upstairs to put them away and then break out that new ice cream and see how it tastes.  Plus watch some TV and then eventually get ready for Monday Morning.  One again here’s to a great week ahead for all of us.  Take care!

All smiles

This has been one helluva week.  Lots of pressure and feelings of being overwhelmed.  There were several surprise departures that cropped up and one of them was someone that I have worked with in the past getting fired.  I never know the details but I can tell by the way things go down if your leaving on your own or if your being shoved out the door kicking & screaming.  My boss got in part of his vacation, which was good for him but not for me.  This whole performance improve windows 10 project is a bunch of people just guessing and throwing stones.  We call it the scrambled eggs call because that is exactly what it is.  I think some good will come of it but it’s going to take time.  I still feel taken advantage of with this new role.  The dick head that wanted to announce my promotion has decided to remain silent.  I’m going to push hard on that, I want it known that I am being rewarded.  It may come late but better late than never.  Phew I feel like I need a week off after working 4 days.  Things will be better once I am no longer on-call.  It will be a nice 2 week break but there will still be the regular work week to churn through. 

My back is killing me, the massage therapist didn’t show this week.  I got to save some money but that didn’t solve my problem.  I have some knots that need some serious working.  It’s either that or I take a much stronger muscle relaxer which will render me unconscious for the better part of a day.  Considering I am on-call that is not an option.  I mean I probably could get away with it but I don’t want to chance things, it’s like tempting fate.  Generally not a good idea.

This morning I had to visit the dentist again but this was a regular scheduled visit and not an emergency.  Things went well and I got good news.  I also came home with a ton of toothpaste.  I asked for extra in lieu of a toothbrush.  I’ve got 2 electrics that I use and a manual brush would just get added to the collection I started many years ago.  They do come in handy but I generally don’t use them unless I’m traveling.  So I am all smiles that I got good news.  I managed to make it out the door without them asking for money and I was really surprised at that.  I know for certain I owe them from my emergency visit but if they don’t ask or send a bill, I am not going to volunteer to give my money away.  Besides that I have a very strong feeling a bill will be forthcoming. 

On the way to the dentist I stopped to grab the mail.  Not much there but I knew a late Christmas card was waiting for me. I made the mistake of opening it in my vehicle and the damn thing was loaded with glitter.  As you can well imagine glitter is everywhere.  I don’t know why they make such messy cards.  If your sending a glitter card it should come with a warning so you don’t get an unpleasant surprise.  Had there been such a warning I would have opened it at home.  It was nice to hear from a former co-worker/friend. 

I went out for supper to Cracker Barrel and got to see one of my favorite good looking waiters.  My brother reached out to me shortly after I sat down.  He’s depressed and wanted to come over.  I said come on.  I invited him to join me for supper but he said he needed to take a shower first.  He takes more showers than anyone I know.  He gets so much as a bead of sweat and he needs a shower.  Part of that mentality comes from the abuse we had to endure as children.  Anyway I got back home and told him come on.  He said he was on the way but he was going to stop for some fast food.  A little over an hour passed and I was wondering where he was and then I got a message that he wasn’t coming.  He got sick and puked so he had to go home and you guessed it, take a shower.  He said he was going to take his medicine and go to bed.  Last week he had some stomach bug.  I think the bug has passed and this is all nerves.  He sounds like he is a wreck over this break up.  He told me that he just can’t seem to move on.  I told him the cure for that is to keep busy.  The end of a relationship can be traumatic and have different effects on different people.  I’ve never been through a breakup but I can imagine it’s not fun.  Right now without having further information I would say that this has the better of him and he is confused about how to move forward.  If you think about it he has always lived with someone his entire life and has never really been on his own.  He’s got her son living with him but that kid is hardly ever home.  I can relate to some of what he is going through and just getting out and talking can be a huge help.  Some how I manage to say things that make him laugh, not always but usually.  Were supposed to touch base tomorrow so we shall see.

I have put off several things around here over my holiday and I swore I would get them done today but wouldn’t you know it, I chose to take a nap instead of do actual work.  It was really good sleeping but I had a helluva time waking up.  Eventually I got back to normal and outside of my back killing me I feel okay at the moment. 

2019 thus far is going okay.  It can always be better but then again it can always be worse.  I am happy just to coast and don’t need any major good things to happen but I am not swearing them off either.  I hope that you are doing well and that 2019 is going to be a great year for all of us.  However, I am more excited for 2020 just because of the way it sounds and I think there will be a lot of technology available then that isn’t available now.  Who knows what type of phone I will have then. 

I have spent a good portion of the day with the kids.  Marv insisted on being up on the couch with me.  He held on to my arm and was licking it like it was a bone.  Eventually he passed out hard and I was able to get my arm back.  I discovered Gator has dry skin on her hind legs and it drives her nuts.  I’m glad some scratching from me helps but the more I do the more she wants and it is as if it’s not going to end.  Momma’s mole on her face seems to be getting larger.  I hope that all goes well this year from a feline perspective.  Last year t-totally sucked.  I keep thinking about poor Ruth and miss her so much.  I was chatting about her at the dentist today. 

Well guess it’s time to stick a fork in this and call it done.  Talk with you all again soon.  Be well and lets hope for the best for the week ahead. 

Happy Nude Year

New Year’s Eve was a regular work day for me.  We got pizza though however, I had made pizza at home so that was waiting for me as supper.  To change things up I had chips & cheese (queso) and the sandwich I brought for lunch.  It was something different.  I did get all of the departures done from work, this is the first year that everyone wanted to leave by 5p which I am thrilled at.  There still was promotions to process or as I refer to them ‘staff changes’.  I got part of that done but my back was killing me.  That shiatsu massager always makes me sore the day after.  So I had to stop for the evening.  I kept track of my time and called it a night around 8:30. 

I had to pass out treats for the kids.  I grabbed some gay sherbet (rainbow sherbet … get it gay sherbet) for myself figuring that it would not only taste good but make the rainbow in me come out.  Instead it tasted good and made me sleepy from the sugar.  I did go to bed early and didn’t make it until midnight but then again it’s just another night so what’s all the big deal about?  Those people who stayed up are probably rolling out of bed by now or maybe not.  Meanwhile I have a good start on my day.

Gator did her very best to get me out of bed at 6a but I wasn’t having it.  She managed to try again and it worked around 7:30.  I went through my phone since I am on-call and nothing major popping which is a very good thing.  Then on ward to breakfast for all of us.  I had the left over pizza and some Christmas cookies washed it all down with a Diet A&W Root Beer.  The kids had their usual cat food.  Then we all cuddled up on the couch and watched a couple episodes of The Big Bang Theory. 

Finally after much protesting internally I came down to the computer and finished up the promotions.  Here’s the best part of this I billed all of my time today which was a whopping hour and a half to my time yesterday as one last fuck you to the company.  I told everyone I would milk out every penny that I could.  I even charged them for the 1/2 hour conversation that I had last night with my co-worker and his manager because it prevented me from leaving on time.  This was my last hoorah and I went out with a bang.  No one knows but you and I know this and that’s okay with me.  I am getting fucked by going salaried but that is my opinion.  I will miss billing for my time and I was asked last night if I could go either way what would I prefer.  I said I would rather stay hourly, better compensation. 

My brother called last night and he’s been sick with some stomach bug.  Down for the count for 3 days.  He is severely dehydrated and bored out of his mind being trapped at home.  No one to take care of him and he feels the same scared feeling that I feel when I am alone and seriously ill.  It’s not fun.  I will be checking on him in a bit. 

Right now I am going to publish this, head upstairs and grab another Diet Root Beer and spend time with the kids and just chill in front of the TV.  Later I will be breaking out an adult toy and having some fun of my own, that is if I am still in the mood.  I’ve been wanting this for days but I hate clean up and like everything else fun I wind up talking myself out of it.  Hey I haven’t had an orgasm since last year so I think I owe myself.

I’ll probably make the other casserole I have in the freezer for supper tonight so I will have something comforting to come home too after work.  A shit storm is brewing at work and my boss cancelled his vacation so it might be a bumpy rest of the week but hey at least I got 1 day away from the office.  To boot they are replacing our UPS Batteries today so the whole office is down until 11a. 

On to watch the NYE shows and listen to some Charlie Puth, Shawn Mendes and any other artists that appeal to me.  Plus I’ll get to see the ball drop, but that’s nothing special in my book unless your there live and that is on my bucket list. 

Happy 2019 everyone.  I hope it’s a great year for all of us and that it brings more positive than negative.  Warmth and Blessings to all.
