Time 4 a change

Good Day and welcome back!

I hope you like what I did with the page.  It took a little bit of effort but most of this stuff is canned by Google in their themes, I just did some customization work.  Something that I have been away from for a long time and it took a little bit longer than I wanted but I got through it. 

Ah Saturday the last day to “sleep in” and sit around doing nothing.  I started watching the newest and last season of Orange is the New Black.  Wow, it just sucks you right in.  I was up until almost 2a when I decided it was time to get some sleep.  Up at 8:30a, fed the kids and back to the TV.  Napped a little bit around 10a.  Woke up in time to pass out lunch.  Watched more TV.  Then tried to take a nap but wound up cuddling with Gator.

It was around 1:30p and I got a shower and got moving.  Headed out to grab the mail.  Got a bite to eat and picked up cat food.  Wow the joys of Saturday.  I could have easily gone for pie but money is a little short since were at the end of the month.  Pay day is next week but still I need groceries.  I’ve managed to do a good job of running up the bills and I’ll feel better when I get them paid.  It’s like a license to spend again.  However, I am at a danger point and that limits what I do.  Meaning unless it’s necessary it doesn’t happen – bar none. 

Gasoline is super expensive all of a sudden and every time I turn around it’s $30 and above to fill up.  That’s just with going to and from work.  I feel like my employer should pay that, at least it would be nice.  Working from home has it’s perks not to mention a full tank of gas you can keep!  That was my Yoda impression, pretty good huh?

I had my iPad out last night and was looking through it.  Came across 2 gay brothers who formed a group called Nemesis Rising back in 2007.  Looks like they only had one album from what I can tell.  Wow it took me back and I’ve been listening to their work this evening.  Amazing. 

I went on a shredding project and cleaned out my file cabinet, at least part of it.  Finished that up and then moved on to cleaning the office and rearranging a couple things.  Same old office and pretty much same look.  Just less dust and clutter. 

I do believe my mind is made up as far as phone upgrades go.  The iPhone XR appears to be what I can afford and seems most practical.  I don’t think I will make it to September to see what new phones are released.  I’ll probably bite the bullet next month.  I really wanted to do it today but I kept telling myself it’s bad timing.  I’ve spent my bonus several times over and it’s time to stop.  Anyway, I am thinking of a red phone and then I’ll get the red Mophie case.  Red supports AIDS Charities and Mophie has had this campaign in place for a while.  Apple jumped on the band wagon last year.  Why not make a double donation.  If they had a killer electric blue I’d be all over that but Red is the most appealing of all of the colors they have.  I really want the XS but it’s just out of what I am willing to pay.  I think $41 per month is xsessive, see what I did there?  Yeah that on top of my regular phone bill, wowzah the bill would really shoot up there.  Not that I am not worth it but honestly at the end of the day it’s only a smart phone. 

I will need to schedule time for the SUV to get it’s annual paint & fabric protection coating in September.  I am thinking of just bundling an oil change with it, let them have the car for the day and take a loaner.  I’ll take the day off work and lounge here at home.  Yeah I really want to buy something new but I keep hearing a little voice say hang on to what you got.  There is a special connection with this vehicle and while I want to, I can’t seem to come to terms with parting ways.  I know it’s silly but when the time is right I’ll move on.  That’s not saying in 2 months I won’t change my mind, it’s just for now I have no real plans to part ways.  Plus temptation being what it is, that’s 1/2 of the reason why my credit reports are frozen.  I can’t make an impulse purchase without waiting 48 hours, it take that amount of time for them to thaw once I issue the command. 

Each day I go to my Amazon photo app and look back at past photos from a year or more ago.  Today came up with kitten photos.  I really miss Ruth.  I want to hold her (even though I know she wouldn’t let me) and scratch her, hear her meow.  I miss Big Boy as well but there is something about Ruth that I just can’t quite get over the way things went down.  It hurts very bad.  She will always be alive in my heart.

Well enough depression and feelings.  I am miles ahead on laundry and I am going to continue my progress so that maybe tomorrow I can lounge if only for a little bit. 

Tomorrow will be breakfast out, groceries, gasoline and I am debating about another hair cut.  I know I just had it done a couple weeks ago but I am ready to go back and have it shortened again.  I’ve also thought about color but I am a bit of a chicken.  It’s like I have always wanted to pierce my ears but never have.  One day maybe I will just throw caution to the wind. 

Hope you had an awesome Saturday.  Stay cool, hydrated and do something nice for yourself, you deserve it!  Talk with you again soon.
