I am in a little pain now and tomorrow I’ll probably be sore. I’m sure your mind is racing to all sorts of conclusions based on the title and my opening statement. However, I am referring to emptying the vacuum cleaner. I started in my room and after I was done that was the 1st time. Then moved on to the hallway and rest of the house. I was about 1/2 way done and had to empty a 2nd time. Then finished up and emptied the 3rd and final time. I think each week for a couple weeks it will be interesting to see what I manage to unearth and suck from the floor with my new floor sucker. I really love my purchase, it’s doing a great job. I just wish that it was a little easier to get the hose for manual cleaning and that the hose was longer. Those are 2 areas where Mr. Dyson excelled. My back is sore from all of the bending I did.
I must be a glutton for punishment because after I cooled off a bit it was time to play with the automobile. I cleaned the windshield, nothing like being able to see where your going, what a novel idea. Then I had to protect & shine up the vinyl and clean & protect the leather. The inside of my ride looks so nice. I have had 3 people total in the passenger seat and 2 people in the rear seats. So those seats are immaculate because they aren’t broken in like the drivers seat. I’d love to swap the passenger seat so I could break in a new seat. After the cleaning we had to check the pressure. Made sure all of the tires were properly set. Then filled up the washer fluid and it was time to go back in the house because I was dripping with sweat. Garage temp was at 100 degrees. Nothing like baking in the sun.
I worked in a nap with Gator. She demanded cuddling or she wasn’t gong to let me sleep. That little ball of fur is so demanding and particular. I don’t want to listen to her yap it drives me insane. A meow here and there is fine but one after another after another is way too much.
I figured today would be an easy shopping day and I didn’t need a whole lot so I should easily get out under $100. Boy was I wrong. They were out of prepared sandwiches so I had to buy bread, meat and cheese. I bought the same flavor cat treats they are currently working on yesterday so I grabbed a new flavor today. I had to have this cheesecake sampler and opted to keep a pizza on hand. I didn’t need breakfast sandwiches or soda and that is where I figured the savings would come in but apparently not. I even had 2 coupons and that didn’t help much. When you stop and think about it $100 isn’t much considering most of my food comes out of a box. If I had to prepare my food the cost may be slightly lower but the labor investment would be higher. I really hope that when I meet my Mr. Right that he knows how to cook, if he doesn’t then were both going to be up a creek.
Finished up the laundry, listened to some music and am slowly finishing up Orange Is The New Black. I think I will have the series done tonight and that will be okay by me. I bravely added my work calendar back to my phone. Much to my surprise no new meetings scheduled so that is a plus. I looked at the ticket system over the weekend and know there are at least 2 tickets waiting just for me. I shudder to think of how much email I have. 2 days probably around 150 to 180 messages, most of which will be crap. I refuse to look ahead of time, I want it to be a surprise. I will have an entire day to clean up and catch up before boss man returns on Tuesday and if time allows I should be okay. I will also be on-call so there will be an uptick in my work this week over all. Not to mention the BS meetings that I will have to sit through. Holy fuck makes me wish I had unlimited Pina Colada’s while I worked. Wouldn’t that be interesting. I think next weekend I will actually have one unless I manage to talk myself into going to some place other than Red Lobster.
Got a computer problem where all of a sudden my contacts and calendar which are based on iCloud won’t open in Outlook. I have rebooted but that didn’t fix it. I reinstalled iCloud for Windows and need to reboot, hopefully that will do the trick. If not I could be in front of this machine for longer than I want. I feel like I am neglecting the children and the guilt is eating me up. However, I can’t be everywhere at once.
I saved the best for last. Dinner – Stouffer’s Chicken Enchiladas, which are swimming in a mixture of cheese along with rice and black beans. Holy cow they are good. Got a family serving which is 4. Ate 2 tonight and will have the other 2 tomorrow night. Then 2 pieces of cheese cake. The 1st on was chocolate laced and the 2nd one was strawberry I believe. My palate was all mucked up from eating the chocolate first. It’s going to be a fattening week around here but oh my taste buds are going to be in heaven.
Shaved my whiskers off and back to a nice smooth & clean face. Ready to take on the week so long as I get enough sleep. Hopefully, Monday won’t be as bad as I fear. That is the only problem with taking time off, you have to eventually go back and that sucks. It’s nice to pause things, step back and refresh. I need time off for the vehicle service thing in September and then in October it will be back to the doctor. I have nothing scheduled or planned yet.
Going to reboot ye old machine to see if my problem is fixed. Then go take in what is left of Orange and get ready for Monday. I hope you had a really great weekend, stayed cool and got to wipe somethings off your to-do list along with having a little fun and take in some good food and maybe even a nap. I’ll talk with you again soon. Be kind to each other. Bye for now.
