While I didn’t sleep the greatest Friday night, it was only because of the usual up with the hungry cat. I had problems falling back to sleep, she sat in my lap as I watched TV. She fell asleep and was quite comfortable. Eventually she woke up and wanted down and that was my excuse to go back to bed. It was time.
Saturday morning was not the greatest but I managed to get up at a decent hour. I fed her majesty and then climbed into the shower. Man that felt really good. I’ve got a large knot under each of my shoulders and the hot water helped a bit. I got dressed and headed out. First stop Cracker Barrel. This was a better experience than last time but this time I got runny eggs. I didn’t bother to complain in person, just ate what I could and paid my bill. I am not going back for a while, they need to get their act together. I voiced my concerns on-line.
After my breakfast it was on to the grocery store. Once again they didn’t have a couple of the items that I wanted the most. One of which was Quaker Oatmeal Bars. Those things were so damn good, gave me a sustained energy boost to make it through the morning and I wanted them but it appears they no longer carry them. The other item was Pancakes on a stick, but I got that at Sam’s later in the day.
From the grocery store on to the vet’s office to pick up medicine for Gator. Everyone marvels at her full name and while I’d love to take credit for it, my late spouse is the one who named her. Her name fits her to a T. I told them the story about how I took in her mother, she had 4 kids and we were supposed to be giving them away, as I returned home one day from work, my late spouse introduced me to all of them. He gave them names while I was away and we still had plans to give 2 of them away but as the rule goes, once you name them they are yours. People love that story as well.
Headed home to unload and take a load off for a while. I tried to nap but Gator only left me alone for so long and then she started. I took that as a queue to get my ass in gear. I fed her again and headed back out.
Hit up the post office, human pharmacy, pet food store, office supply store and last but not least Sam’s Club. Holy cow I dropped some serious money all in one day and I wasn’t done just yet. However, that is where the bulk of my money went. I went home to unload and put all of that away. Then you guessed it I rested for a bit again, but no napping. I watched a tech radio show that has live video, it’s part of my normal weekend routine.
I saw a different type of people today, I figured everyone would be in a rush and places would be packed. The only two places that had decent size crowds were the grocery store and Sam’s.
I was on social media. The weekends are when the bulk of the porn/sexual content posts pick up. Holy cow I have been all horned up. I saw a video that really was more of a marketing ploy about a new toy. I of course fell for that and placed an order. It should be here in two weeks and I hope it brings me as much pleasure as I think it will.
I had a difficult time deciding on what I should have for supper, I knew that I needed to go out but wasn’t set on where. I browsed around and then I decided to hit up a local Mexican place. I used to go there all the time and would always run into the cutest guys. That didn’t happen today. The food was okay but not the best. It did it’s job in filling me up so that is a good thing. I also stopped for a car wash, it was past time. That place always leaves spots on my rear window and I found not all of the dirt came off my vehicle. I filed a complaint on-line, for the money I spent I expected better. Were limited in my area with only a small number of places that wash cars and the prices are insane – all automatic. I miss the days of being able to power wash it yourself but I don’t miss feeding a machine quarters all the time. I do feel that I got a better wash when I was involved in the process.
I sat with Gator for a bit when I came home. I passed out some food to her, she expected to be hand fed. I told her if she wanted it she had to get up and eat it. She waited until I wasn’t looking to nibble a bit and then climbed back up on the couch. I never saw her eat but looking at the plate on the floor gave it away. I was also surprised to find that she is back to using 2 litter boxes, one for each function. The #2 litter box had a full normal deposit. I was really happy to see that. I pray it continues but that her hunger pains slow a bit in the evening.
I’ve got plenty of food to feed her plus one or two more cats, so it’s not like she is going to run out. However, the flavors are limited because of the supply chain. Gone is chicken and the shrimp she liked. They will come back eventually but I wish I had them now to keep her even happier than she is already.
When I am done here I am headed up to run the massager on my back to see if I can’t break up these knots. Then medicate the Gator and myself, watch TV and eventually fall asleep. Sunday will be a day spent at home. If my body, my phone and my cat all permit me to I’d like to sleep in a bit. Then tend to Laundry, cleaning and my least favorite task putting out pills for myself. I’ve got a holiday Ham meal from the store that I plan to nuke for supper and then watch TV and prepare for whatever Monday has to offer me. Thus far I have no plans to go in this week, but that’s not 100% for sure. I could waiver later in the week.
Phew I made it through the day and accomplished everything that I had planned. That makes me feel really good, not to mention that today is the first time in a long time that I exceeded my step goal. Normally when I go into work I get about 50% of it in, the rest of the week it’s 20% on average. The goal is 3,000 steps. I figure the more I walk the thinner I will be and I felt like it was working but not so much anymore because of the way I eat.
Hope you had a great day. If you celebrate a holiday (Easter, Passover, etc.) I hope that it is a great one. It’s just another day for me but being alone on a holiday doesn’t ever make me feel good. I am happy that I have what I do and that I have made it this far, when many times tomorrow and the future seemed impossible to foresee. Take care!
