I need to pass some time before I can move to the last job of the day and then I can finally get away from this personal confuser.
Things have calmed down a lot since this morning. It was a whirlwind day though. Between work and Gator’s appetite I’ve been stepping & fetching all day long. I was barely able to squeeze in time to get my lunch.
Gator that girl can eat. She is on like her 7th or 8th can of food for the day. I’ve fed her 3 cans while she sits in bed and makes a mess. Two queens in the same house doesn’t make for a pretty picture all the time. I have to interject some humor because I am starting to lose patients with the constant need for food. I feel like I can’t breathe fully or do really much of anything without being summoned back to take care of her. I can finally relax when she falls asleep and I try my very best not to wake her up because I know that means the beast of an appetite that she has at the moment will need to be fed. She also knows when the weekend is here so I don’t anticipate that I will get a whole lot of sleep tonight but I might be surprised.
It’s in the upper 80’s outside and it’s 79 upstairs. Here in the basement it’s like being in a cave, it’s a cool 72 degrees. I will need to fire up the AC again but I will try to hold out until after the sunsets. The humidity smacks you in the face as you climb the steps. Once you get used to it, things aren’t so bad. It a little better in my room because I have a dehumidifier going and the ceiling fan is on full blast. It’s not exactly AC but it’s more tolerable.
No word from the neighbor on the tree surgeon who is coming to chop down the trees in the back. I kind of just expect the guy to show up with his crew and go to work any day now but who knows if/when that will happen. I have the money freed up from savings and ready to go so I am not caught by surprise.
As I believe I shared in an earlier post this week my only plans for the weekend are the usual errands and getting my haircut tomorrow. I picked up an on-call shift for a colleague so I am on-call now thru Sunday. He really pulled a fast one and I wasn’t smart enough to pick up on it until it was too late. This is server patching weekend so I will have to get up early on Sunday, login and test all of our stuff to make sure that it’s working. It’s a major pain and I am not stuck with it that often. There is also some additional work being done this weekend that will cause some alarms/alerts so I have to watch for those. Otherwise, I think, hope and pray that it is quiet because this has been a hellish week. I get a break from on-call for one week, then I am back on again for an entire week. However, after that I only work 3 days and am taking a couple days off.
Looking forward to supper tonight it’s one of my favorite TV Dinners, white cheddar Mac & Cheese with Bacon. Wash that down with some Diet Pepsi and then try to empty out the DVR. There isn’t much to watch but I think 1 show and then it will be either over to YouTube or some streaming service. I’ve also got a set schedule for social media and really look forward to 7p as that is when I am on Instagram to see all of the cute & sexy guys. Pictures/visuals are so great I like that much more than reading tweets but it all lumps into together to some addictive behavior that I can’t seem to get enough of.
Hope that you have a nice weekend, stay cool & dry. Be well and come back again soon.
