Babble on

It’s been a busy and stressful Tuesday & Wednesday for me at work. The only good thing about that is that quitting time is only an hour away. On-call has been quiet and uneventful which is exactly the way I like for it to be, especially when the day its self is filled with problems.

When I finally got to take a break and was browsing on social media, I learned that a friend/former boss lost his mom. He didn’t outright say she died but people read between the lines as I saw the comments. Kind of sucks but children are supposed to bury their parents, like it or not. His dad is still alive and I imagine in a state of shock and disbelief. I know all too well what that is like. Loosing a parent is one thing and it hurts. Loosing a spouse that is a different kind of pain that no one knows unless it’s happened to them, it hurts way worse than losing a parent.

My day started bright an early at 4a when I had quite the sexual dream, man it was really enjoyable but when I woke up there was no enjoyment to learn it was only a dream. Then I had the struggle of trying to get back to sleep. I came downstairs and checked on my work laptop. Last week they tried to upgrade it in place but it failed. This week different story, it worked like a charm. I saw it was going and that was good enough for me. I headed back upstairs and tried to go back to sleep.

Ms. Gator has been very vocal the last couple of days to the point where it’s getting on my nerves. She wants food, she wants attention, she wants to make noise. Marv has been his normal self but he gets loud once and a while, especially when you ask him if he wants food or if he’s hungry.

What is it about being on camera that makes you look good? The last two weeks I have looked like hell in person but when I see myself on camera in a Zoom meeting, I look like my normal self. Crazy how that works. I’m just glad no one else sees what I see when I look in the mirror. Not to mention my bed head, which I didn’t bother to do anything with. My hair is crazy and I haven’t given in to cutting it yet, but were getting close.

Fall is in the air now. I see the leaves covering my back deck and think wow, I’ll bet the gutters are full. All the more reason to make this the weekend I actually climb a ladder. It’s a scary thought but something that I need to do and get out of the way. I keep seeing commercials for various gutter covers and they sound very nice but I can only imagine they are expensive. It’s peace of mind that they sell more than anything and it seems like a worthy investment.

The evenings get pretty cool here and the AC hasn’t kicked on until later in the afternoon/evening. It runs once maybe twice and then were done. I think in a matter of weeks it will be time to flip the switch back to heat again. I hate long sleeves, jackets, coats and cold but I love looking at fresh snow.

In case you can’t tell I’ve got nothing in particular to write about so this is just babble. Looking forward to a relaxing evening, pulling something delicious out of the freezer (not sure what that will be) and then a shower and a nice relaxing slumber.

Hope all is well in your world and that your staying safe. Take good care of yourself and treat yourself, you deserve it. I’ll talk with you all again soon.
