Hello & Welcome! I was able to start my Friday a little early and was eager to get upstairs. Much to my surprise the basement was warmer than it was upstairs. The cats were uncomfortable by the cooler weather but it was only down to 72 degrees. I remember coming home in the middle of winter last year when it was down to 52 degrees and they were visibly upset and for good reason. So, if they can survive that 72 is nothing.
Momma’s collar and spray arrived at lunch time and I put the collar on her. She was not happy at all. She kept trying to backup to get out of it but that didn’t work. Gator was at her side asking what she could do to help but there wasn’t anything that either of them could do. When I came up she was miserable and begged me to take it off. I gave into her wish. I told her if she started chewing again that the collar was going back on and there wouldn’t be any mercy shown. I think she got the message.
I made everyone wait until closer to 6p before I gave in and fed them. Then I opted to make a frozen pizza. It was really good, nothing like a Tombstone! They never disappoint. I also turned on the furnace because we were down to 71. I held it at 72. Between the furnace and the oven, the house was comfy pretty quick. Watched Chicago PD which is a Friday night thing for me. I know the show is on earlier in the week but I like to save it until Friday it’s more enjoyable for me. Nothing like watching Jesse Lee Soffer strut his stuff. I just can’t get enough of him, he’s so cute & sexy.
I found myself taking a trial offer for Audible. I want to hear Adam Rippon’s book, which will be released on Tuesday. I used a credit for that. I have another credit to spend and not sure what to listen to. I have a list started of interesting items. That will certainly sway me when it comes time to keep or cancel. They have a wide variety of books. Adam’s book is supposed to take 8 hours to listen to. Lord have mercy that is an entire work day. I certainly won’t be able to spend 8 full hours but I will work what I can in to chip away at it. Hearing a book is much better for me than reading it.
The kids left me alone and I was able to go to bed and spend time by myself which I thought was considerate of them. They came to join me after I was already in bed. Gator let me hold her paw as I drifted off into slumber land.
Saturday … I woke up at 6a and managed to go back to sleep for an hour. 7a I got up and got the children fed. I felt how cold the house was and I kicked up the furnace to 74. It was 31 degrees outside, so close to winter temps here. Then I curled up in bed and watched reruns of Roseanne. Gator & Momma joined me. Eventually I went back to bed. I woke up and got moving around 10a. A little late for breakfast but I opted to head out anyway. I did the mobile check for Cracker Barrel. I had a 5 to 10-minute wait. When I got there, they were full up. I checked in and went to the top of the list. I waited maybe 2 minutes and then had a table. That was so nice. I saw other people bitching but hey I found a loop hole, don’t be mad at me. While I was eating, I saw a very cute busser. Blond Hair, Blue Eyes and very skinny. Yes, he was young but that didn’t’ stop me from thinking impure thoughts. I didn’t however say a word to him. When I was paying my bill, the cashier tried the usual upsell with candy/gum. I didn’t bite for that. Then she said we have toys on sale. I didn’t say anything and she had a dumb look on her face and she paused. Then she asked so no toys for you? Christmas is coming you could use them to play with. I looked at her and said no thanks. I’m 48 years old and I gave up playing with the toys you sell years ago. She was stunned! I was more stunned that she thought I plaid with toys. I mean I hear I look young but I didn’t think I looked that young. Grabbed the mail and then came home.
Did my usual surfing looking for a date, catching up on social media and snagging photos here and there. I found a great looking guy who is a million miles from me. I took a screen shot of his profile and I’m changing mine to be similar. It caught my eye and he was very clear what he was looking for. He was also really good looking and had he been closer I would have swiped right. I spent a couple hours on that. Then setup an appointment at the haircut store. I started watching 20/20 and it’s just about to the good part of the story where they make the connection and I had to run. Ah crap.
I walked into the haircut store. There was this fine-looking young man who just got his haircut. He left going to homecoming. I told them if you can make me look like him that would be great. I’m not just talking about the haircut. Well that didn’t work out well for me but hey I tried. After ye old hairs cut I headed for Mexican food. Then came back to the area. Stopped off at Target and then hit up the cat food store. Finally, home. Working on finances, reviewing the mail and doing laundry. Now blogging.
I honestly didn’t want to get in front of the computer after being stuck here all week long I welcomed my time away.
It felt really good to get out of here today and to interact with others. There is just something special about that. It like we all need it. I am looking forward to going back to my office on Monday. Something about the routine. Don’t get me wrong working from home is great. I don’t think long term I could do it day after day, even though I fanaticize about it.
Well finishing up laundry and doing a little bit of surfing on the web. Then back upstairs to watch TV and pass out medicine. Hope you had a great Saturday!
