Happy Labor Day

I hope that you are enjoying the holiday and what is the last hurrah for many of us until Thanksgiving.  Hard to believe that will be here in 2 months.  This year as most of last year is much of a blur to me, especially with working from home. 

Ms. Gator is doing a bit better with her food.  I managed to find some new flavors that aren’t carried at the pet food store but are available at my local grocery store.  To say she is happy is an understatement.  The 1/2 of a pill is a bit harder to get her to take and I got clawed last night more than once.  The idea of me opening her mouth for any reason just doesn’t appeal to her.  Unlike her brothers who got used to it quickly.  She did have me up in the middle of the night and I wanted to remove her from the bed room but gave her the benefit of the doubt and she came in and curled up in her own bed.  Never bothered me again.  I was up for a couple hours thanks to my insomnia and way too much on my mind. 

I did manage to get up at 9a and checked in on the mobile app for a seat at Cracker Barrel.  The wait was 5 minutes but they were quoting 30 minutes when I showed up.  They took 2 or 3 people before me but I got seated very quickly.  It did take a bit longer for service & food but they were mighty busy.  I got a seat by the door and I got to people watch.  Saw a lot of fine gentlemen!

Made it to the grocery store and didn’t think I would spend that much, especially since I wasn’t buying soda.  However, the total was a bit more than I had planned on.  What made it worth it was the guy behind me in line.  Damn he was super fine.  Muscles and a small waist.  I was ready to ask him out and even pay for his small amount of groceries but instead I just moved on. 

Fueled up the tank which cost me $25 but that’s not horrible considering the travel I was able to do from the last full tank.  I was getting 25mpg which is really good for a mid-sized SUV. 

Working on laundry.  Got my paperwork put away and even managed to write a couple letters.  I am headed out to mail them.  I really wanted to grab a burger but honestly I don’t want to travel that far from home nor spend the $$.  This vacation has proved to be costly with the tire as well as my Gator issues.  I feel a bit stressed in the money department but I am still in very good shape. 

Talked with my boss on a question he had.  Never bothered to login or try to get caught up.  I figure I give them enough time that I shouldn’t bother to login on my day off to help head off the hell that tomorrow will bring.  I will just be a busy guy and probably a bit stressed. 

The trash company called to tell me they would be a day late in picking up.  I still have a good mind to put the trash out on the normal day just because last time I didn’t I got skipped.  I can’t afford for that to happen again. 

Looking forward to eating my left over pizza, spending some time with Gator and relaxing one last night before heading back to working from home.  All in all not too bad of a day.  I need to get moving though before time gets away from me. 

Take care and I will talk with you again soon.  Thanks as always for your visit!
