Close to EOY

I finally got rid of my holiday blues last night.  I was listening to some music and I just broke down.  Gator doesn’t like it when I cry, it woke her up and she was concerned.  Not exactly sure what she was thinking but I told her what was on my mind and why I was crying.  One can only take so much before you reach your breaking point.  I am glad that it’s behind me and hopefully it won’t hit me again with the short pause we have for New Years, but it is possible. 

My work email was a nightmare but I managed to wade through it and took care of what I needed to and filed/deleted the rest.  So much of it was junk.  It wasn’t until late afternoon that I was able to be with Gator upstairs.  She was really good about it and napped away in my room but eventually moved to the living room, waiting on me.  It was a productive day but it was a bit of hard work as well. 

I made the decision to order the parts needed for my vehicle to upgrade to 4G.  Let’s hope that sticks around for a few more years.  Figuring in high for taxes it will be around $700 installed, that’s parts and labor.  Once the parts arrive in then I will get a call to schedule the work.  It takes 2 hours to complete.  The dealer where I have to go is about an hour from my house, so this will be at minimum a 4 hour trip.  It’s not like I am short on time off but I am trying to hopefully work it in with my trip to the doctor in a couple weeks, the timing of the parts arrival will be everything.  Hopefully, there aren’t any supply chain issues that affect me but if so there isn’t much I can do about it but roll with it.  The 3G Network shuts down towards the end of February 2022.  I will admit it is tempting to buy a new vehicle and when I get to the showroom while I wait for the repairs to be done I will want one but all things considered it’s reasonable right now to hold off.  I have my eyes open and when the time is right for me I will make that move, for now I have to be content with what I have and what I have isn’t bad it’s just 4 years old, soon to be 5. 

Today I figured out that my boss is only out of the office this week  He had planned for two full weeks but apparently changed his plans, which I am not thrilled with at all.  There is just much more drama and chaos when he is around and it’s mostly needless. 

There isn’t much going on considering this is the last week of the year, lots of people are on vacation.  I got a little curiosity and that is kind of a bad thing.  I heard this little voice in my head say don’t do it but I forged forward instead.  I was spying on a crush an set off an alarm.  I took care of the alarm because it’s part of my job but where I was on the network is logged in a file forever and if someone gets curious and decides to ask questions that could cause problems for me.  I know how to be vague and call it an accident but not sure how well that will fly.  I was vague with my team on the alarm.  I don’t think anyone will be asking questions or so I hope.  I have to learn to trust that little voice more because when I don’t there is always a price to pay. 

Speaking of voices, I feel my sugar starting to drop.  I didn’t eat much for lunch because I wasn’t feeling the best but that has changed and I am ready to mow down a buffet line.  Instead I will be having some pasta.  I am thinking later about some of the Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Pudding and then topping that with Chocolate Pudding.  It sounds strange but it also sounds really good to me. 

Not sure of what I will watch on TV tonight but I am ready for some relaxing time, sleep and to tackle tomorrow.  Hope your doing well and that I didn’t make you hungry.  I will talk with you all again soon.
