Holiday events

I did make it to my friends house in the afternoon and we had plenty of food for the 3 of us, their neighbors and they sent me home with food.  The package of food that I ordered for us changed with respect to desert we didn’t get anything Pumpkin which was a disappointment.  We did get some Chocolate Cake Balls which were delicious.  So good that I am thinking of driving to get some myself. 

I stayed well past the time I wanted to and wound up driving home in the dark.  I didn’t see a police officer at all when I came down via the interstate.  When I went home via the city I found a flurry of cops.  They needed them on the interstate because some hillbilly almost side swiped me trying to rev up his Dodge Charger. 

The problem for me was coming home to poor Insty left all alone for a few hours.  She though for sure I wasn’t coming back ever.  I was scolded and she got to eat some food.  We spent time together and that sorted things out.  She wasn’t too pleased with the fact that I was up late and the lights were on, she made me go to bed eventually. 

I watched the new documentary on Netflix about Shawn Mendes.  He’s also put up a full concert which I haven’t seen yet but plan to watch.  He makes some good music but I am mostly interested in his body, as lots of other gay men are.  It was interesting to see behind the scenes and with him on the road.  There is more pressure there than I could possibly fathom and knowing that so many people are counting on you wow that would weigh on me.  I saw him break down as he had to cancel a concert because his voice and health was spent.  Charlie Puth had to do the same thing a few times when he was on tour.  These younger musicians push themselves so hard and they indeed burn the candle at both ends, which ultimately compromises their health and ability to preform.  It’s no different than if you or I did the same thing.  Too much pressure/stress isn’t good for anyone. 

Here we are on Black Friday.  I passed up a hell of a good deal last night on an External Hard Drive that was around $150 for 12tb.  There hasn’t been anything close to that good of a deal today that I have seen.  Perhaps on Cyber Monday. 

I purchased an Ancestry Health Kit going to take the DNA plunge and see what I can learn about myself and my relatives.  I also bought a new ROKU that has an ethernet port so that will replace the newer ROKU that is in the living room, which will be moving to my bedroom.  I’ve been looking at TV’s and while I don’t need one I’d like something new for my bedroom.  I also got some socks and weather stripping.  The only real bargains I got were on the DNA test and the ROKU.  I should have everything next week. 

I had to take time to run some reports for work and figured I would update everyone.  I am watching GLEE on Netflix because I can’t find anything else that is of interest to me.  Regardless of the series they all suck me in and waste time.  I started this morning and before I knew it was 5p.  I will also confess I’ve been quite lazy and no real energy to get started but I will need to put some pep in my step if I am to accomplish anything.  A week seems like a long period of time and it is if you have nothing going but if your trying to accomplish something it will be gone in a flash.  I honestly don’t want to go back to work but I know it will be good for me as is taking a break.  I will likely take time within the 1st quarter as year end always wears me out.  Ah well enough about work, I am on vacation for now. 

I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving and got some great food.  I am headed back up to be with the furry queen bee and dive back into to GLEE.  Take care, stay safe and be well.  Talk with you all again soon.
