I am thankful for a 3 day weekend! This past week overall was okay. I had a nice time with my boss and ate a lot of food. We talked a lot and I didn’t ask all of the questions I wanted to. There was a big shake up this week as our CEO was told to leave, I had expected this for a while but figured this late in the game nothing was going to change. Talk about a surprise, wow. I talked with my co-worker who has cancer and things are a bit grimmer for him, he is allergic to the chemo and they have to stop. There are no other options for him. Personally I figure 3 months to a year, he’s been told 6 months to a year. It sucks to hear this but at least he has time to spend with his family and can prepare for the inevitable. He is going to retire so that will be forthcoming.
To say that things are picking up for me is an understatement. While it was good see my boss in person, he wanted to touch base every 15 minutes to an hour and I got very little accomplished until he left for the airport. We had no interaction on Friday. I was able to get caught up, minus one task that I opted to put off.
I was close to losing Momma & Marvin this week. Both had stopped eating. I think Momma had/has a Upper Respiratory Issue and she has given part of that to Marvin. In addition it didn’t help that I skipped their medicine while I was off. I had to give them both an appetite stimulant and then follow up with fluids to get them back to “normal”. They are super picky now about what I put in front of them. So I went for more gravy based food since they both seem to like that. Insty will eat damn near anything but even she is picky at times. I thought Marvin for sure was done but thankfully I just used up another one of his lives. I am so glad I still have them and was able to fix their issue on my own and never even had to involve a vet. I think I am a mini vet on my own with everything I have been through. People are amazed when I say I gave them fluids. They don’t understand and once I explain they are like your vet lets you do that. I said sure I did it with Big Boy, the rest of them are no different. You just have to use reserved judgement and not flood them with fluid. I get a very small Jell-O like mass under their skin and within 24 hours it’s gone.
I hired a new grass guy and we negotiated the same price that I was used to paying. He is also by far the cheapest when it comes to bush trimming so I am letting him do that as well. He’s an older guy and we seem to have clicked. I think he’s a keeper. I know I don’t want to have to search again for a new provider anytime soon. It’s a miserable process.
I haven’t been this drained in quite sometime. I was falling asleep at my desk on Friday afternoon and felt tired no matter what I did. I went for a walk but it didn’t work. Until I got outside and was headed home is when I got a small second wind. That lasted until I crossed into the house and then I was zapped.
I spent Saturday watching ER, eating junk food and napping. I didn’t even have to get dressed and it was really nice and refreshing. My voice mail light came on in the afternoon and as much as I didn’t want to I checked and it was a friend checking on me. I called back around 6p and we talked until almost 11p. I was never so happy to hang up the phone.
I am not real sure why but my obsession is with re-watching the old ER series. Right now I am telling myself once the character Carter (played by Noah Wylie) gets lucky I will pause but I don’t know if that will hold true. He’s the whole reason why I became infatuated with the series. He’s super cute and young. Today were about the same age and my obsession really isn’t there any longer. Yes I know he’s straight. Anyway, I am sure getting the most out of my free Hulu Subscription. I hate the damn commercials and if I want to skip them I have to start a new account and pay full price $11.95 per month, so I just put up with it. I am so behind on my current regular shows that I hope my DVR doesn’t over flow. I plan to peek at it tomorrow if not sooner.
The big news is I found out my brothers wedding is at the end of the month. I saw it on FB. It’s not like I got an invite or have heard from him. I am surprised on one hand and not on another. She broke him pretty quick and went in for the kill. So first is marriage and then will come her name on the house. That will seal his fate and to unseal it will take a lot of money and a miracle. I can’t believe how stupid he is. She was a monster to him and put him through needless hell for months on end, they broke up and now he realizes he can’t live without her. Fuck what a mess. He deserves everything that he gets. If it works great I’m happy. I suspect things will be well for a while and then it will be right back in the crapper. Only I am not wasting my time listening to him whine anymore I have divorced myself from the situation. I am only interested in his well being. I do think it will be quite sometime before we talk again, if ever. It’s all really kind of sad when you stop to think about it.
Sunday is catchup day. I was up early and got moving. I still have to clean the house but I went out for lunch/supper to a Mexican place. It was nice to get away for a bit. I am also happy to be back home. Finishing up my laundry and then I will head up and get the cleaning done.
Monday is car repair day. The parts came in middle of the week and we agreed on Monday. While I am taking the day off I am also on-call so I’m basically working from home. I will keep an eye on email and jump in if needed. Might grab a bite for dinner out but outside of that no other real plans for the day.
So the beat goes on and on. Hope all is well in your world. Talk with you all again soon.
