Hummin along

Mr. Marvin is still doing well (knock wood). His legs were warm this morning, I check them several times throughout the day. They have remained warm thus far all day long. I am thinking but not certain that the clot or whatever was causing the circulation issue has resolved. I am over the moon with his progress and so very thankful that I made the right call. Now lets hope that he and his sister will keep hummin along for a very long while. Regardless of how long that while is, it will be too short in my mind. As your never ready to part with a loved one or a pet.

You might not understand why I seem to obsess over my furry friends. Then again you might get it. In short, they are the only children I will ever have and that is how I view them. It was natural for me after they were born to refer to them as the kids. I would talk about them in conversation all the time and refer to them as the kids. That caused lots of confusion with many people and they actually thought we had children. These furry beasts are my reason to live. They not only keep me company but they listen to me talk, they talk back and they are entertainment at times. We each depend on the other and the love goes both ways and is and will always flow strong. Just because a good portion of the furry family is gone doesn’t mean I have stopped loving them. They each have a special place in my heart where they will forever remain.

On a different note, I had a freshly prepared Chicken Pot Pie from the grocery store. It was made with fresh crème and I had to bake it in the oven. It was absolutely the best pot pie I have ever had. I wanted more but thankfully I only bought one. That was Monday. Early Tuesday morning I got a wake-up call from my stomach and I have been unwell ever since. I was dehydrated last night and severely tired. All I did yesterday was drink. I had a normal breakfast but didn’t want to eat lunch. I had French Bread Pizza for supper last night and that settled pretty well but the madness continues today. I feel better overall but I still have issues today. My hope is that this will soon cease. I mean I wanted to lose weight but I want off of the bathroom train. I’m sure your asking yourself why doesn’t he take something for the symptoms. The answer will baffle you. My body will turn against me, it will solve the immediate problem but then in a couple days I will get sinus sick and I really don’t want to start on that merry go round. It’s a matter of choice and some of patience. If things get unbearable, I will give in but were not there yet but it’s getting close.

I saw a great movie over the weekend on Netflix. The Boys in The Band. It was great and very entertaining. I have the desire to watch it again. There is also a behind the scenes that is on Netflix. That gave some additional insight into the movie that I wasn’t aware of. If your looking for something to watch please consider this, I think you will enjoy it.

Apart of the above, life is otherwise normal. The best news came late Monday morning. We were all informed that our pay will return to normal effective with our next check. We had previously been on a mandatory pay cut since Summer, this was to avoid layoffs or furloughs. It’s welcome news, especially with the holidays around the corner. There also was a question about our usual holiday bonus and we were all told to expect something. The bigger question that remains is the money that was deducted from our checks, will we get it back. That depends how well the year closes for the business, if we do as well as is projected then that is a resounding yes but we have to wait. I am all about pay returning to normal. That will help me out a lot because it was starting to be a bit of a struggle.

Boss man is on vacation and my desire to work is low. Although somehow yesterday and even today have flown by. I need to take some time to work on a dreaded monthly report and have yet had a chance to do that. It’s like that Todd Rundegren song I don’t want to work, I want to bang on the drum all day. Speaking of not working, another week of time off will occur for me on the 19^th. I say time off rather than vacation because I will be working if only for an hour each morning.

On with the rest of the work day, only an hour left and then the fights are on tonight, I’m of course referring to another debate, this time the Vice Presidents square off. I am not as interested in this as I was the original presidential debate but I may watch, if not I know for certain I will hear about it in the news. I hope there is more order present and it doesn’t turn into the nightmare the former debate was.

I hope that your all doing well and taking good care of yourselves. Enjoy the cooler temperatures while they are around. Old Man Winter is coming and I personally hope he brings me some snow. Talk with you peeps again soon.
