Last night I treated myself and went to a new BBQ place that I have been wanting to eat at for a very long time. They have a cult like following. It’s grown so much they had to move to a new location. Finding that new location proved to be quite a challenge, I drove right by the place two times. Holy cow. The important part is I found it and had a great meal. I ordered a Pork Plate and I got porked pork. I was so full when I left that place and it was so good that I know I will be back.
When you walk in you have to stand in a line, place your order at the counter and they collect payment, give you a # and then you get to scramble for your own table. Your food is brought to you when it’s ready. Their soda glasses are “to go” plastic and a bit on the flimsy and small side for the price they charge.
They had a staff member that kind of resembled Josh from Corbin Fisher (a gay porn site). Josh is one of my long time favorites, who has since retired. So I had some nice eye candy to observe while I was chowing down. Something about the salt they use and the smoking of the meat that just makes it so delightful.
I wobbled out of there and made it to get cat food and through Sam’s. I always do the self check out because I like it. Well I had this tray of pastry's that was super plastic wrapped and the bar code wouldn’t scan for the life of me. I fought with it and then said screw it. I went to Member Services and they were able to help me. I did think about leaving w/o paying because I was frustrated. There was this lady who works there who was on her own time returning a bunch of stuff and she wanted to yack to the person working. Holy hell Mary some of us have a life, move it along. I know that security was probably on me thinking I would dash out the door but it’s not worth the risk of going to jail for a $12 item. Temping but not worth the risk.
By the time I got home I felt like a large blimp. I got things put away and then had a hell of a time getting undressed. That’s when it hit me. I’ll bet you this new diabetes drug causes weight gain. Sure enough I looked and that is one of the many side effects. I’ve going to chat with my doc about that. I want to get bigger muscles but not fat. I can’t afford to be so heavy I can’t wipe my own ass or take care of myself and constantly out of breath. Somethings got to give. I like the lower A1C benefit but we have to combat the weight gain portion. My eating habits haven’t changed and I doubt they will. Of course the large meal last night didn’t help things.
Welcome to Sunday. I had problems going to sleep last night but eventually was able to catch a couple hours. Up at 5 to kick Gator out of my room. Then Marvin figured out I closed the door and he wanted out but not until I was back in bed. Ah Cats you got to love them. Speaking of which there is a new series on Netflix called Don’t F with cats. Unless you can tolerate animal abuse don’t watch it. I made it to the part where they were describing what happens to 2 kittens and that’s when I said F this I am NOT watching it.
I digress after a few more hours of sleep I got going. I still felt a bit sluggish from yesterday. I am also sore from the massage I gave myself yesterday. Going to get another one tonight to hopefully work all of this junk out of my body. Got my breakfast, grocery store shopping done and then got the car washed and gassed up. Finally at long last back home to be with the fam. I worked in a nap, as per usual. Got the house cleaning done. Decided to re-open the basement to the cats. It’s been off limits for a couple months because of the mold remediation I was doing. Perhaps some air circulating will help things. Momma like to come down to sleep once and a while. Gator comes down when the vacuum goes on. She runs sees the doors closed and the runs back up the stairs hoping the monster machine won’t get her. It’s kind of funny and she isn’t in any danger but you can’t tell her that.
So here I sit playing on the PC and getting ready to grab the laundry and head up. Time to shave and get supper ready. I picked up a Uno’s Supreme Deep Dish Pizza. It’s a Chicago thing and they are the best ( I like their Sausage pizza but that wasn’t an option). Problem is with Deep Dish pizza in my oven I have to turn the heat up and let it cook longer and just when I think it’s done I pull it out and it’s cold. So I fuss and say I will never buy one again but it’s one of my favorite things so of course I will buy another one. I need a pizza stone, you’d think I would have procured one by now as much as I love pizza but nope. I’ll be adding that to my shopping list on Amazon. I use the shopping list more as a private wish list and add things when I can afford them or to bulk up an otherwise empty order.
I got a holiday turkey dinner for 1 in the fridge, just in case my friends don’t get around to calling. I like to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve it just seems more fun to me. That is when there are presents to open and parties to attend. However, since it will be just me and the cats it really doesn’t matter. I’ll likely eat it for dinner on Christmas Eve regardless if I get my invite or not.
This week is kind of crazy only having to physically go in on Monday. Then off for 2 days and working from home for the other 2. The weekend will be here before you know it.
I should get moving. I hope that your happy, safe, well and that you have a great holiday season. Merry Christmas!
