Hello Tuesday

Thanks for stopping by and checking in on what’s going on in my world. Sadly, I don’t have an overwhelming amount of information to share. It’s like one day blends into the next and that is the way life I believe will be for quite some time.

I’ve been watching local news on a daily basis but never really bother to turn into to National News. Yesterday the president interrupted local news coverage with a press conference. Pretty much a complete waste of time because he didn’t have anything new to say. I think he is wanting to bring a calm to the storm but the more he talks the more he instills panic. He seems to think that we can just magically all go back to normal in a couple days or soon and very soon. Yeah, sorry pal that is not the way this will work. He scares the hell out of me and makes me think we in the USA are all truly fucked. Only time will tell but I think it would be wise if he stopped talking for a while. Even his own staff looks at him like he’s deranged. While I don’t particularly care for my Governor, I trust him and have more confidence in him than I do in the president. Once he says it’s safe then I will believe it. I do believe everyone will have their guard up for quite some time, even after we are all told that this is under control.

In our morning call the boss man indicated that he thinks we are all going to be working from home for quite some time given the state the world is in. We all agree. It’s not necessarily what we all want but it’s a necessary evil. I think our leadership gets that and right now I don’t have any concerns of being told to go back too soon. Sounds like everyone but the leader of our country understands this. That is truly disappointing, our leader should be smarter and much more educated. You can’t run a country like you run a business, but then again, he’s no good in business. He owned a casino that went bankrupt. A casino for God sake. It truly is a scary thing that he is in charge of the country. It’s like I said when I learned he won the election, were all fucked and not in a good way!

Lots of people are going nuts with boredom or just frustration from being cooped up. There are people who share my same concern about gaining weight because all they do is eat. It’s convenient because the food is right there and your essentially surrounded by it. It brings comfort or so I think for a short period of time. Plus, there is the loneliness of being in isolation and not having any one around to talk or interact with. Sure, there is work but that doesn’t quite cut the mustard for me. I want to be me and personal – relaxed and not professional.

In other news I got my bill from AT&T and turns out the lower figure I got was correct. The email that they sent with the higher figure is just to scare you and prepare you for the absolute worst. The taxes and fees are what make the difference and the email is designed for the max. I guess better safe than sorry. They do the same thing with wireless service. You walk out of the store thinking you have this large bill and then when it shows up it’s not nearly as bad as you were told. I am getting less channels but paying around the same. I looked at changing back to the service I had and it’s like $1.30 more which isn’t that big of a deal. I would get more channels, which right now means more options of programs to choose from but I am staying put for the moment. I can always change my mind and increase if there is a need or desire.

Last night I had problems falling asleep, I got drowsy and fell asleep in front of the TV a couple times and when I went to call it quits that’s when my brain went into overdrive. I tried to fall asleep even with Gator in the bed it was no use. She wasn’t happy with me when I got up and turned on the TV but I had to do something to pass a little bit more time. I turned on CNN and watch a bit of Don Lemon and some Anderson Cooper. Something I don’t normally do but given all of the choices I had they were the best options. Thankfully it wasn’t long and I was drowsy again and returned to bed. That of course means that I really didn’t want to get moving this morning. I blame all of this on the nap that I was fortunate enough to be able to take yesterday. Sleeping is when I am the happiest and if there was a way to set a timer to be in a state of sleep but still manage to take care of the cats, I’d set that timer for a couple months right now.

Apparently, I didn’t learn from my mistake yesterday with the napping. I went up stairs around 11a to be with the kids because there wasn’t anything going on at work. I wound up napping. I kept getting interrupted by the darn phone and unimportant emails. I think I might have gotten in 45 minutes of napping. When I opted to get up it was because something important came in. That didn’t make my little girl terribly happy because she was in my lap. I came down and tended to business, then went back up and wolfed down a sandwich, a soda, yogurt and a brownie you know to keep my sweet disposition. Then sat in front of the TV for a short while and had to come back down to get on a conference call. We have another one here in a bit and the day will essentially be done but I will be watching from my phone in case anything urgent comes in. I might be working normal hours but that doesn’t necessarily mean that I am in front of the computer for a full 8 hours.

All of this sitting has my ass hurting, seriously. I would much rather stand but then my feet hurt. I guess I am really getting old. Whatever allergen is present in the house be it mold or dust really has my nose going crazy. Yet another reason why I miss the comfort of my office. Well I think that does it for today. Stay strong, be well and some how we will all weather this storm. I will talk with you again soon!
