Hello again everyone, I hope that you are doing well. There hasn’t been terribly much that has transpired but I have a few things to write about. I just figured out that I had a couple of comments pending moderation. I’ve published those a short bit ago. Comments mean the world to me and they help validate that my blog is being seen & read.
I finally have an update on the accident. The other guy has insurance (yeah) and has admitted fault (yeah) so my insurance company will enter into subrogation with his company once this has been settled. Basically, it means that my insurance company will claw back what they spend so in effect it doesn’t cost them any money, other than the cost of manpower to put the wheels in motion. Not that this is a money-making event but if you can make money, why not. I asked about getting reimbursed for the inconvenience and since I am going through my insurance company, I was told since there wasn’t a medical claim that isn’t something they would pay out. However, if I wanted to go through the other guy’s company, I could probably get something. It’s late in the game for that and honestly at the end of the day getting my vehicle repaired is what matters most. That is scheduled and I’ve got a rental lined up so it’s just a matter of waiting for next Monday when this starts and then waiting to see how long it plays out before I get my baby back. The rental is good for as long as it takes to repair my car, so if it’s a day or a month extra it matters not. Parts are in high demand and there is a shortage right now but I was told that it should be about a week. That doesn’t include putting new tires and getting it aligned but that shouldn’t take more than a couple hours at most.
My emotions were on overload on Sunday and into Monday. Shameless a Showtime series that I have watched since day 1 for 9 years came to an end. I hate the fact that it’s over, it was a favorite show and life will go on without it but it just won’t quite be the same. I knew that the character that plays the father (Frank) on the show would die but I didn’t know that he would die alone. Seeing that made me want to re-think how I left my spouse to die alone and also was a sobering wake up call that unless I meet someone chances are really high that I too will die alone. I called a co-worker on Monday after I watched the after party which was a zoom call with the cast and just balled. I started out fine and then my emotions just tackled me and I was done. I felt so much better after crying it out.
My door bell rang on Sunday evening in the middle of the finale. I haven’t ordered anything and when I went to look, I didn’t see anyone. There was a car that I noticed pulled up on the street with the headlights on. I waited until they left and then opened the door. It was none other than Jimmy John’s delivering a sandwich for my neighbor. My house number appears prominently in a couple places outside my home, one of which is by the front door. Still some poor delivery driver couldn’t find house number 9 so they delivered it to house number 8. It was paid for and my initial reaction was damn I’m hungry I am going to eat this, then I thought nope save it. Finally, my morals guided me to do the right thing and I put on clothes and went to deliver it. I didn’t ring the door bell just dropped it on the porch like the receipt said to. It took the neighbor 45 minutes before he realized it was there. Meanwhile I got some flying bugs in my house. No good deed goes unpunished.
When Sunday was over just before bed, I thought I will watch some porn and call it a night. Little did I know the streaming app I use wouldn’t work. I spent hours troubleshooting this before I gave up and finally went to bed in disgust. It works on one Roku but not the one in my room. It wasn’t until yesterday that I figured it out, I needed to get a beta version of the client and that fixed the issue. I kind of wish that I would have thought more but my brain was out to lunch and I thought for sure it was something on my end since the removable drive had been giving me some problems. I did an uninstall from my computer of the server and that of course meant that all of the history of what was viewed and what wasn’t was lost. Not a big deal but kind of a pain.
The grass guy showed up late in the day on Monday but they weren’t scheduled to be here until today. It was a nice surprise and there was no communication about the painting job we spoke of. I have pretty much figured out if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. It would have just been better if the guy was honest and just declined. Honesty goes a long way and besides that if your honest you don’t have to remember the lie you told. I got that little nugget of knowledge from a Judge Judy episode years ago, lot of truth there. Pun intended.
I thought my battle with the ants was over with but they appear to have come back and are worse now. I hate those damn things and wish that I would never, ever see another one at least not in my house. When problem crop up here it is so attractive to throw up my hands and just walk away, move and get it over with. However, that would cost a bit more in the long run so I stay put and deal with the issue.
Some kind soul posted the Yoop concert of Charlie Puth to YouTube. Charlie has looked better in the past. He is growing out his hair and wore a bright yellow fuzzy sweater that just make me want to break out in hives. His voice was not up to par and the whole thing came off to me like it was run on a shoe string and is not the usual product that I have come to expect when Charlie is in concert. That said, it wasn’t horrible. If you’re going to watch it, look for the 4K version. I don’t have 4K but the watermark of the person that published it is smaller and it just plain looks better.
Thursday is off to see the doctor. Not sure what I am doing on Friday and Monday is car drop off day. I am off from work from Thursday through Monday and back on Tuesday. I hope that I can manage to be productive at least part of the time. The accident set me back and depression has also crept in and set me back. I have been putting off a Target run for over a month and poor Gator is down to her last jug of litter. I also would like to eat breakfast out and maybe even grab dinner or lunch out.
While I thought I had longer my co-worker informed me that he will be taking the rest of his paternal leave in a couple weeks and won’t be back until July. Holy cow. That is a lot of time but I know it will go by in a flash. There are a couple of projects that are coming up and one of them is a job that only him and I can do. I am prepping as much as I can ahead of time but I am limited on what I can actually do until I get the official green light. Plus, the daily report we work on will fall totally on my shoulders. It’s much easier to do it with someone than doing it alone but I guess it will be just like sex for me. Hey I am trying to make it funny while still complaining.
Gator has had a couple of bad days but I think she is on the mend. It’s an odd time of year where it’s nice and comfortable/warm during the day but it gets down to freezing at night. That messes with her and she just can’t get warm enough. I found her today under the covers on my bed. She used to do that when she was a youngster and I am glad that she still has enough spunk to continue it today. I think it’s cute and it also proves that we all just need alone time. She is passed out cold next to me, as I sit on the couch writing this. She sure is eating the food and enjoying her naps. I just wish that she would sleep longer overnight instead of waking me up regardless of what time it is.
As much as I enjoy talking here it’s time to wrap this one up and call it a day. Take care of yourselves and be safe. We will talk again soon.
