I went to bed a ½ hour early and that resulted in me sleeping until a little after mid-night. It was closer to 1a when I finally gave up on trying to sleep. I made good use of the time by watching the remainder of ER. I finally finished the series; I don’t recall that I ever saw the ending when the show was on the air. It was very good but I am sad now because it’s like what in the world do, I watch. I’ve got to find a new go-to series, I’ll be browsing around and I am sure I will land on something.
It was close to 4a when I finally had the desire to fall back to sleep. I had to share my bed with Gator who is quite the bed hog. It’s a twin bed and she left me the edge, how thoughtful. I pushed her fat ass out of the way and climbed in bed. I had to listen to her complain but eventually we cuddled up and she escorted me off to dream land. She has some magic spell she casts on me.
My body’s natural alarm clock woke me up at 7a the trash truck coming at 6a didn’t help things but at least I got an extra hour of sleep in. I got out of bed greeted the children who were all pleased that I was out of bed. Passed out their breakfast and then sat in my chair and browsed through social media. Until Momma came to tell me I needed to get moving. Actually, she wanted attention, I just took it as an opportunity to get in gear.
I headed out to Cracker Barrel where I had a horrible breakfast. The waitress talked me into changing my order to get an extra piece of sausage and extra hash brown casserole. She negated to bring me my extra grits and the item she talked me into didn’t include gravy for the biscuits, so I was ticked. Then I had to wait a hella long time before the food arrived. I thought about asking for a lunch menu the wait was so long. I got to see a semi good looking man. His child made him keep getting up and I said what a good baby, daddy was putting on a show for me and he never even knew it. It was entertainment to pass the time. The guy was married and the cutest thing within my line of sight. He would do in a pinch but really wasn’t my type.
On the way to breakfast I watched cars decide to go speeding past a marked police car in traffic. One of them got his attention and they pulled over but blocked an entire lane of traffic in doing so. I’m sure that is not how they planned to start their day but unless you pose a huge problem my local police typically issue warnings instead of tickets. That is not always the case but more often than not when I hear the radio traffic, they talk about warnings instead of citations.
Back on point. I checked the mail and ran an errand then back home. I cleaned out the gutters. Holy shit I didn’t know gutters could hold that much debris. When I was done, I was covered in dirt and ants. I did a quick test of my jury rig method for a gutter and it works but it has a slight leak. I found another piece of guttering and tried to work out a permanent solution but these pieces do not fit together logically. I went looking at the hardware store to see more about a perm solution. I need an oddly shaped S piece. I actually just need a handy man to fix it for me.
I got myself into the garage and undressed, then went inside for a decontamination shower. Which should have been the Silkwood scrub down but was a regular shower. Felt nice. Afterwards, I sat around in my underwear and looked at my phone while Gator sat comfortably in my lap. Eventually I flipped on the TV and we watch a Ron White stand up show until I felt the urge to nap. Gator helped me get back to sleep. Then when it was time to get up grouch playful Momma came in crowing at the top of her lungs. I ignored her and by the time I was out of bed she was ready to start napping in my chair. Funny thing about Momma if she is in front of me, she will quietly meow but if she wants to get my attention, she uses them lungs. This is all new since she has aged a few years. Normally she was loud all the time.
I passed out lunch. Earlier in the day my remote for my car wasn’t seen a couple times. I came out to open it and nothing happened when I pressed the button. Thankfully I used the keyless entry code and then got in and it started. The car is supposed to tell me when the battery is low. However, I just figured that it needed to be replaced. The replacement that goes into it is a honker of a coin battery. I ran around trying to find a replacement but no such luck. Hardware store didn’t have it and drug store didn’t have it. Things seem to be working now so I am just keeping an eye on it. I have a 2nd remote if things go south and Amazon carries the battery. I could go to Batteries Plus and they would have it but they fuck people over w/o lube or a reach around so I am not their biggest fan. They have a great stock if you’re in a pinch but otherwise I avoid them at all costs. I grabbed some cat food and then headed for Mexican food.
Came home and went in search of Marv who had been in hiding all day long. He never showed up for lunch which is odd. Sure, enough he was hiding under the couch that his late sister used to frequent. As soon as he saw me, he started crying. I got him out and we sat on the couch and watched several episodes of Momma’s Family. How appropriate.
It was a very nice sunny mild day here. We did get in to the 80’s but it was in the low 70’s when I was outside doing work and I was in the shade. Today would have been a pick day to go on a road trip but I just wasn’t feeling it. I had my sites set on Salty Mexican and that is what I got. The part of the freeway I take was being worked on so I had to go the scenic route through the city, which wasn’t horrible I just don’t like stop and go traffic. I’m in it all week and it’s no fun. I just want to get on the road and go, let me get to where I am going and then you can have your wrecks or rubbernecking, I just want to get to my destination as quickly as possible.
Not sure if you saw the previews for a movie that was out earlier this year called Ma it’s got Octavia Spencer in it. It’s a horror film and I hate them. Oddly enough I have an attraction to this movie not exactly sure why. It’s available on Amazon and I am thinking of renting it even though watching it I will probably scream like a school girl. I’ve been putting it off for a while but eventually I know I will be watching it. Better if I can see it on HBO or Showtime for free meaning that it’s part of my subscription it’s won’t actually be free.
As I sit in my basement typing this out, I feel hot and I itch. I’ve convinced myself I have some type of cooties and it will shake it’s self out eventually. It does look like I got bit on the hand again by something, as long as it wasn’t the black spider (black widows are in my part of the country) I saw I’m fine and I will live. I don’t think it was the spider because this would be way worse.
I am anxiously awaiting tomorrow; I don’t like Sundays but the rain is supposed to start around 4a and that will bring some answers. I really think I was my own worst enemy here but if that proves not to be the case then this will cost more money than I want to part with. I really hope I am lucky here and the basement stays dry.
Thinking about Monday, man it’s going to be a hell of a day. I have two departures from Friday to finish up. They ram rodded a new hire in that starts on Monday but his account isn’t setup. I thought about doing that today but I opted not to because if I keep on accommodating, they will keep on ram rodding and I like notice and that is what I have been pushing for. Somehow, I don’t think I will get my way but it never hurts to ask. I will also be on call. Friday will be the 13th and there will be a full moon. Can you just pray for me because I envision that next week will be bat shit crazy for me? I just hope I can maintain my sanity and survive.
I’ve taken full advantage of my time in doing chores early. The dishes are done and so is the laundry. I just have to work on vacuuming and trash. Passing the time away has been fairly easy up until now. I seem to have run out things I want to do. So, I will do some surfing and playing on the computer. Then it will be climbing the stairs to go see the children and prepare for bed. Hoping for a great Sunday, even if I will be trapped in doors and have to go grocery shopping in the rain (which I hate). Not to mention the rain will ruin the sparkle on my car but hey I can get it washed again.
I hope that you had a great Saturday. Talk with you again soon.
