There is a rental house across the street from mine. It’s been owned by several people but finally a property management company bought it. They have had a couple tenants and they have all moved out. The place is vacant and has been for a couple months. A landscaping crew showed up last week to do some work on the place and there were a couple of hot guys I saw. I kept thinking it’s so hot out maybe one of them will take off their shirt, but not happening. They got way laid by rain two days in a row. They came back on Thursday and finished up the job. One of the hot guys was even pushing a broom trying to clean the street from the dirt they stirred up, which I thought was a nice gesture but not something that most people would do. It did give me a few extra minutes to drool though. Just when I thought all was done, on Friday afternoon a tree service company pulled up. Buff Fit Dudes were everywhere and they took about 15 minutes and were done. When you have a large force like that it doesn’t take long to accomplish the end goal. I kind of hoped they would come over and do my trees. I didn’t see much of them because they were fast movers but I know all of them were in shape and looked fine from my window. I imagine if I would have gotten any closer, I would have passed out.
Friday was a holiday for us since the 4th fell on Saturday. Doesn’t really feel like Independence Day since I am still on lock down and that is what is encouraged considering COVID infection numbers are trending upwards across the country. My thanksgiving friends told me they weren’t doing anything. Friday, they went to a buffet of all places and it was closing forever. Yeah considering COVID I understand why that had to be a killer for business. I haven’t gotten up the courage yet to dine out and when I do, I think it will be a very long time before a buffet is in my future, if ever again. We had our conversation over Facebook messenger because I get the impression that he (my thanksgiving friend) wants to keep in touch but doesn’t want to be bogged down by a telephone but yet I can call anytime. Well I kind of fixed that and not only blocked him on Facebook Messenger but I shutdown my Facebook account. For fuck sake pick up the phone and call me. Now we will go back to texting and I can always claim I never got anything because he is an android person and I am an apple person, plus I have read receipts turned off. If I am going to talk with someone, I would much prefer to do it over the phone than using technology like texting or messenger because it takes far longer for me to type out what I can easily say in a just a second. I’m not a 16-year-old girl who can hand jam out a text message longer than a speech in a second.
My newest form of entertainment comes from watching random YouTube videos. I stumbled across something called Hot Ones where celebrity guests like Justin Timberlake, Shawn Mendes, The Jonas Brothers and others sit down with a host and they enjoy some hot wings together. It starts off mild and then goes to insanity. One hot sauce I saw was called The Widow Maker. There are plenty of napkins, milk and water around. It does look like a good time if you like hot food. I’d rather just watch the reaction than try any of those hot sauces. I am very much a mild guy when it comes to spice. It’s a great show and worth time to check out if it sounds of interest to you.
The cats are both doing okay. Gator got me worried because she shuffled off to the couch on Friday and again on Saturday when normally she would be with me in my room. However, she seems to be back to her old normal self today. I picked up some new dry food and they both like it. It’s not really good for Marv since he has a sensitive stomach, he kind of swore off dry food but instead loves to eat his treats. What is normally out to eat is out of stock at Amazon and I am patiently waiting for them to get it back in stock so I can make a purchase. I like to be consistent especially when it comes to the cats. Gator and I took an outstanding nap together a while ago and she let me sleep for about 45 minutes then knew it was time to get me out of bed, she worked her magic and I kept resisting but finally I was like okay I’ll get up. I said the magic word to her Lunch and that got her to follow me to the kitchen. Even Marv perks up at that word. Marv and I have gotten in a few noodle sessions the last couple days and he seems quite happy. Plus, I have been skipping his evening pills for a few days, he seems to be happier about it.
I ventured out yesterday to just put some miles on the vehicle as well as get mail and cat food. I opted to try to get a chicken sandwich from Popeye’s and they still had a small line. I drove back home but took a different way. Then I discovered why there is such a line at all of the food places in the area. There is a medical marijuana dispensary nearby. Holy shit these people are going to have the munchies like crazy all the time and of course they are going to the food places in the area. I might have to venture to a different Popeye’s if I am to ever get my hands on a chicken sandwich. There is some humor there but there is more disappointment than anything.
Last night there were fireworks galore in the area. I was listening to the police scanner and after about 30 minutes I heard so many complaints dispatched I gave up and turned it off. I just prayed like I do every year that nothing hits my house and sets it on fire. As per usual my request was granted and it was an uneventful evening. It did arouse Gator once but I told her it was okay and she went back to sleep. Marv was hiding under the couch not because he was scared but because that is usually where he likes to hang out until he knows I am in bed, then he comes in and sleeps the night with me and his sister. It’s a great little routine.
I’ve got to push along to get my house cleaned and the trash taken out and then it will be time to rest and enjoy the afternoon. I had to do some work to process a promotion and now that is done with it’s back to my life and enjoy what little bit is left of this weekend. I have yet to cut my hair and it’s long overdue. I am on the fence about letting it grow or cutting it. So far letting it grow has been winning. No one is complaining because lots of people aren’t exactly looking their best right now. Our salons are open but if I won’t go out to eat, I certainly won’t let someone cut my hair. Maybe I will get some courage if the infection rates for my area stay low but right now, I just don’t want to take any chances.
Take care and we will talk again soon.
