Second Shot

Friday, I had my second COVID shot. I went to a different pharmacy and afterward went out to dinner. My arm was slightly sore but otherwise I felt fine. I came home and planned to spend Saturday lounging and relaxing. I was just drained of all energy and slept a good portion of the day. I had some fantastic hallucinogenic dreams and didn’t take any narcotics. Gator was all curled up with me and we had a very nice time. I never left the house yesterday. By the evening I was feeling better but not 100%. I woke up this morning and didn’t really want to get going but knew that if I didn’t nothing would get done.

I started with breakfast out, saw a cute guy and was tempted to take photos but opted not to. I haven’t been on social media for over a day and I am getting tons of notifications like the apps want to lure me back in as if I have gone astray. Anyway, I grabbed the mail and then headed off to the grocery store. For the last couple of weeks there have been no bagger boys working, makes me wonder where they all went to. My last stop for the day was at the pharmacy and then I came home. After putting the grocery’s away, I sat and continued my saga with watching old Shameless episodes. I have a couple of seasons left but were getting close to being done. When I caught myself dosing off, I turned off the TV and opted to take a nap but then I was wide awake, so I got up and came downstairs.

I’ve had this computer issue that is driving me nuts. I never, ever let a machine win but I think the machine has me over a barrel this time. My all-in-one printer won’t see my computer but my computer sees my all-in-one printer. The problem is that when I want to scan something I can’t go to the printer and tell it to scan to the computer, I have to load the document(s) and then come back to the computer and tell the computer to go look for the scanner and then the magic starts. Ever since I got this computer it has seen the all-in-one but suddenly it’s no more. I have removed the printer/scanner software multiple times and rebooted and reinstalled but no luck. I’ve turned off my security software and still no luck. I don’t really see much help available online and this is honestly driving me mad. For now, I am letting it be and walking away but the wheels in my head are spinning and I am trying to think of a way to fix this.

I have been observing Grindr and some of the guys on there it’s interesting but I am about ready to delete the app. I keep thinking about the waiter that I spotted a few weeks ago and yesterday would have been burger day but I just wasn’t up to it. I also think that I should probably leave that situation alone but I guess it’s desperation trying to get the best of me. I am super lonely and it’s got nothing to do with sex, but hey I could always use company in the bedroom. Kind of wish I had a fast forward button that would take me to the next big good moment in my life, even if it’s only a self-induced orgasm.

Next week is my turn to be on-call at work. Last week the boss took over for our co-worker who is out. When the boss is on-call it’s like were all on-call because while he monitors a bit closer, he doesn’t do anything unless he has free time and then he turns into a micro-manager. My co-worker who is out promised that he would call me to check in by the end of the week but I know bullshit when I hear it and knew that he would forget all about me and work for that matter. I mean hell he is on leave and they call it that for a reason, your supposed to leave work. I’m sure he is doing okay and I would like to talk if only to find out how he is doing. Speaking of work, I have to get to my report and then it will be time to go back to be with the Gator and deal with her outburst. She is already crying for food, so I need to kick it in to high gear before she really gets upset.

That’s all I got at the moment. Hope that you’re doing well and that life is treating you better than it’s treating me. Take care and we will talk again soon.
