Nothing really noteworthy going on same stuff different day. It’s a short week for me and I am thankful for that. My regular tri-monthly visit with the doctor on Thursday. Friday getting my vehicles oil changed. 2 days away from the office with the weekend will turn in to 4 days and that will be a nice quick break. Sadly I still have a week and 5 hours to burn before the end of the year and that won’t exhaust my vacation but will get me to the minimum limit for carryover which is 2 weeks. Ever since I got sick a few years back with bronchitis I like to hold time in reserve because you never know when you will need it. Plus I suppose there is always hope that I can take time off if I need it without having to worry.
I wanted to take the week before Thanksgiving but a co-worker is taking that so I will have to either pick a different week in November or more likely wait until December. I need to get something on the books before it’s too late. Any time that we don’t use we loose and I am not about to walk away with time on table, that would just be silly.
My colleague that has been making mistakes here and there is still up to his usual self. I don’t think that he gets it. I didn’t want to say anything to protect him and now that I have unless he changes his ways it could easily be his demise. That is what I was and am wanting to avoid. There are two reason behind this. First, I really like this guy and we have grown pretty close. Second, the thought of having to start over from scratch with God knows who is nauseating and not something that I really want. Just like everything else in life this will take time to play out and I am really not in control of how this turns out.
On the home front, my grass is getting cut every week but I still have yet to get a bill. I know when it finally does show up there will be some shock but it’s not like I am totally unprepared. I haven’t heard anything back from the landscaper guy. I think I must have fallen off his radar. Part of me wants to call and check in and the other part of me says hold on to your money and take care of the yard next spring. I’d really like to be done with it all. Grass cutting season is coming to an end because our nights are getting cold, down into the 40’s but we have yet to have our first frost. I actually turned on the furnace Saturday night because it was quite chilly when I woke up on Saturday morning. Gator is not a fan of cold at all. She will hide under the covers of the bed to get warm if it’s really bothering her but the bed can’t be occupied.
Speaking of the little devil. I skipped her medicine on Friday for the first time ever. I just was worn out from the day and figured why not giver hear a break. She also isn’t taking her full dose of fluids, she sits still enough for a 1/2 dose and after that all bets are off. Rather than fight with her and waste the fluid I give in. The last vet visit she hadn’t had her weekly dose of fluids and the doc was quite impressed with her hydration.
I went back to the pet food store on Saturday for what will probably be the last time for a while. The shelves were once again empty. I just don’t get it. The grocery store can get a decent supply but their prices are way high. Rather than walk in and be disappointed again I am electing to switch and just grab what I can from the grocery store. Perhaps things will improve at the pet food store in the future. I really figured my complaint would fix the issue but apparently not. It’s just crazy.
I’ve got a meeting to run off to which is nothing more than a how is everyone doing on Monday type thing. It’s a waste of time and I hate it but it’s not like I can just skip it or I would.
I did finish up NYPD Blue sitting through hours upon hours of commercials but it was a fun project and interesting to see how the series ended. I also got to see all of the nude scenes which were controversial at the time. I remember when Mark Paul Gosselaar was cast on the show. I was so excited about seeing him naked but it’s only in the rear and my it nice. Now I am looking for my next series to get interested in. Eventually something will come along or strike my fancy. Until then I have regular fall tv to view.
Since there hasn’t been anything terribly interesting (at least to me) happening in my life and things are just ho hum, it doesn’t give me the most energy to blog each day. However, I am still here and still kicking.
Hope all is well in your world and that your safe & doing good. Take care and I will talk with you again.
