I woke up at 5a from a strange dream. Gator was there to beg for breakfast. It is very rare for me to be awake and for her not to beg, chirp or otherwise clamor for my attention. Now if she happens to be asleep that is another story. I grabbed her some breakfast and used the restroom. Then fired up the TV and waited to get drowsy again. By 6a I was ready for bed. Had to place Gator in bed with me and we slept together for a couple hours.
I hauled myself out of bed at 9a and took Gator with me. Of course she got more food. I made some of the last of the Cinnamon Cream of Wheat that I have and took my medicine. Called my co-worker to chat a bit more and learned a couple of other things as well as helped him solve a problem. My brain isn’t quite as rusty as I thought it was. I guess it’s the years of experience and working closely with the same set of systems, you get to learn and memorize stuff so it’s kind of like riding a bike.
Made it to my haircut appointment. There was only one barber on duty and she was swamped so I had to wait for a bit. Not a problem. I checked on my prescription which still wasn’t ready yet. It was so cold outside that I went back home. Sat with Gator for the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon.
I got out around 3p and hit up a local restaurant for some Cannelloni (not sure if I spelled that exactly right) and instead of a salad I got Italian Chicken Noodle Soup. It was pretty good for my lupper (lunch and supper combined). I was full and once again retreated to the comfort of home.
Picked up my Amazon delivery, which was the new camera. Sat and watched some more TV and then Gator wanted supper so I fed her and used that as my excuse to come downstairs. I have more laundry going. The camera is all setup. I requested my back to work note from the doctor and made an appointment to see him in May. Got my personal email box all cleaned up and backed up. Made a short list of tasks for tomorrow and ready to grab the laundry and head back up.
I am trying to get through the week without making any grocery purchases so that I can start fresh on Sunday as I normally would. Not much luck thus far on getting my sleep schedule in shape but I have a few more days to continue to work on that.
Not sure about the price of gasoline in your neck of the woods. Here it went from $3.58 to $4.40 overnight and who knows how high it will actually get. That will be the next thing that people cite about wanting to work from home, they can’t afford the gasoline to go to the office. It won’t be cheap for me but I will get by some how, things always seem to fall into place. I’m sure the price of gasoline is directly related to the Ukraine war, what a mess. I feel so sorry for those people and this is something that could have easily been avoided and something that can be stopped at any moment but I don’t know that will happen anytime soon, fingers crossed. I really want to make this trip to the new restaurant this week but the wear and tear as well as the cost of fuel are making me want to reconsider. If it doesn’t happen this week then I don’t know if it will happen for a while. Turns out this place has been around for 2 years and I just found out about it while I have been out sick because of boredom and doing silly google searches.
Still a bit apprehensive about my big return and that will continue to fester until the day of the event, I know my nerves and sleep schedule will be off for a couple days but right now I have every confidence in the world that it will all fall back into place it just takes time. With all of the catchup I have to do I am certain that my days will fly by quickly. The longer I am away the harder it is to go back, it’s always been that way for me regardless of where I worked or how old I was. This too shall pass. Ugh I just thought about the fact I have to change my password, that always takes me a couple days to come up with something so I will be thinking about that now. It takes about an hour to change it across all of the various different servers, systems and portals that I have to login to. I made a list so that I don’t miss anything and we have added a couple of new portals while I was out so there is more fun waiting for me.
Hope that you had a nice Tuesday and are comfortable. It’s supposed to be a slightly bit warmer tomorrow but we have another winter event that looks like it will happen on Friday. I am in the mood for a bit warmer temperatures but that will only usher in grass cutting season. I like the off season (aka Winter) because it doesn’t cost me any money but even so I don’t like long sleeves and jackets as well as coats. Give me short sleeves, short hair and keep it comfortable not too cold not too hot and I am happy from a weather perspective.
Cheers for now! Take care.
