The Weekend Summary

What a weekend!  Friday and a good portion of Saturday were taken up by the Netflix show 13 Reasons Why.  The final season, #4 was released and I of course had to watch it.  The show was interesting to me but it also evoked lots of emotion, especially in the death scenes.  The cast and crew did an amazing job in putting this show together.  It addresses a lot of issues that young people as well as people in general experience.  The show is aimed at young people.  There are plenty of gay characters in the series.  I don’t recall any actual gay sex scenes in season 4 but there were same sex kissing scenes.  Plenty of shirtless guys as well. 

Saturday, I didn’t leave the house at all.  I didn’t go to the basement for any reason.  I spent the bulk of my time in my room with the cats.  I had some difficulty sleeping Friday night and of course as nature would have it [or should I say Gator] I was up at the crack of dawn.  I didn’t get tired until the afternoon came and then I just got to nod off for a short time because my silly phone went off. 

It was lonely but also refreshing in a way just to be here with the cats and doing what I wanted to do.  I got the house as cold or as hot as I wanted, ate junk food and drank way too much diet soda.  I did want to go out and that was the plan but when push came to shove, I just didn’t have the motivation and I thought, you know that is okay. 

I cut my hair again.  It looked like it needed it but really there wasn’t much up there.  Classic case of what you see in the mirror doesn’t reflect reality.  Like body dysmorphia but only in my case hair.  I went a little shorter on the sides.  The back is a complete disaster but it’s plausible and acceptable.  Just a classic round look but the line isn’t necessarily straight, but then again neither am I.  It’s not like I have a job interview or some big public appearance to make, and since I don’t look at the back I don’t care.  When it’s time to go back to the office then I will let a professional take care of my hair.  For the time being it’s just a boy and his clippers.  I’m okay with that. 

Sunday was the day to catch up.  I again had problems sleeping and Marv had me up earlier than I wanted.  I fed the cats and tried to go back to bed but that was futile.  My body knew it was time to be awake so I was awake.  I did get in some cuddle time with Marv.  He licked my arm and hands as if they were spare ribs.  That is classic Marvin!  He’s always done that and it’s one of many things I enjoy about his personality.  He has adjusted to coming up to my chair so that I can pet him or just to hold his paw and comfort him.  He for sure is a daddy’s boy.  The same can be said for Gator but she on the other hand just loves people, but has to get to know you and what you can do for her, then she will worm her way into your heart and never let go. 

I got up eventually and had breakfast.  I was walking with chocolate milk in one hand and a hot sandwich in another to the table, when I stepped on a piece of hardened cat food and it just about brought me to my knees.  It hurt like I stepped on a sharp rock.  Chocolate milk was everywhere it shouldn’t have been but thankfully it was an easy clean up mess.  I wasn’t terribly happy but that’s the way it goes. 

Made it through the grocery store.  They have stopped digital coupons for the last 2 weeks, which is very odd.  I grabbed the mail and my renewal license plate sticker was there.  Came home put away the groceries, sat on the couch with Marv and Gator.  Played on my phone to see what was new on social media and also surfed for porn.  Then it was time to try to take a nap.  My lower back was killing me. 

After said short nap, I awoke and ventured out to the cat food store and to Wendy’s to grab a Chicken Sandwich.  It was every bit as good I thought it would be and more.  I am still dying to try Popeye’s chicken sandwich and eventually we will make that happen.  Got the cat food put away, house cleaned and trash out.  Finishing up on laundry and playing on the PC.

It’s been summer time hot here, even though summer doesn’t officially start until the 20th.  Were supposed to be cooling down.  My AC has been running more than I want it to.  However, it does keep me comfortable.  I can’t say the same for Gator because she hates cold, despite the fact she has a built-in heater that runs year-round.  She still manages to somehow get cold or chilly and then seeks refuge in my bed under the covers.  I’ll admit when I was watching TV on Saturday it was cold and I got under the covers it felt really good to snuggle up all by myself.  That didn’t last long though she had to be by my side.  Turning on her sleeping pill charm.  Problem is that I give her a little bit of room and the next thing you know she is trying to push me out of my own bed. 

I hope that you had a great weekend.  Here’s hoping that this week is better not only for everyone in general but for the world.  Things are way out of control.  Stay safe and be well.  I will talk with you again soon.
