I’ve got 2 posts for today. First the normal babble and Second thoughts about a recent episode of 20/20.
The charger I got worked to fully recharge my device and the battery pack so that mystery appears to be solved. The damn thing did chirp a few times during the night and woke me up but when I checked on it all was well. I’m not a fan of the chirping, plugging it in there is no noise and when I used QI Charging on my prior charger there was no chirping. This might be something I have to get used to if so, I will just turn on my other White Noise machine to help drown it out. As long as I can hear Gator if she needs me, I am good. The house alarm white noise or not is loud enough to wake anyone at any time unless you don’t have a pulse. Gator and the alarm are all I really care about overnight.
Speaking of overnight, Amazon came through with my delivery at 4a this morning. I was surprised to read the notification and then go to the porch to find the package waiting for me in the cool crisp Spring air. I did a quick test with the power strip and my old charger, it appeared to work but the real test will be once I get it setup tonight.
I also got a shoulder massager/heat wrap to see if I can’t get some better ROM (Range of Motion). I really don’t think that until all of the knots are worked out of my back that will happen. I figured what did I have to lose? I plan on speaking with my doc about this and suspect he will want to sign me up for Physical Therapy which I am not happy with but if that is what it takes then let’s get it done.
Had some very strange dreams last night, woke up for a bladder brake and then when I went back to sleep it was like I jumped right back in. Kind of like I was in a real-life video game – it was insane. Not exactly sure what that was all about.
Gator was a bit picky with eating this morning since I skipped her Probiotic this morning. She had to have a gravy can to get her motivated to chow down. Of course, you know I had to feed it to her by hand in bed and she made a bit of a mess but I could tell in the end she was happy and that is what matters to me. She drives me nuts but she knows I will do whatever it takes to make sure she is cared for. She might not always be happy but she will never, ever go hungry so long as I am walking the earth.
I do feel a little guilty for working from home today but being on-call I just hate leaving and then having something come in and waiting for me as I walk in the door. It’s not like the work isn’t getting done or I am missing out on something by staying at home, other than physical movement and being around others. Gas prices are also a bit insane at the moment. I don’t know if I put much truth in it but I read an article the other day that says prices will be at $10 per gallon over the summer. I think that is a bit much and if that happens people will revolt and for sure no one will be going anywhere unless it’s necessary or they are just wealthy. Hell, I remember when prices hit $2 per gallon and people lost their minds. I remember when gas was less than $1 per gallon but I was just a kid then. Saying that makes me feel very old.
Work was very busy earlier this morning and I was running with my hair on fire as we like to say. I had things jumping at me from all different directions. Finally got caught up and things have calmed down. I am watching now but unless something comes out of the wood work, I’m good until noon and that is when the flurry of meetings starts. We had a BS get together yesterday; my boss calls them Huddles like were a fucking football team. He used to have every Monday and we got away from them. He brought us all together for 1 reason but of course he yammered on, had to type out a couple emails while we were on the phone (he is so unorganized and not respectful of our time) I just think that is rude, because he has to talk while he types the message or his brain doesn’t work, so you listen to him dictate an email, which is so unnecessary. Then after about 30 minutes he told us why he called the meeting which was unnecessary and he could have handled with an email. I think he likes to hear the sound of his own voice and loves to use his power to call a meeting – so we meet just for the sake of meeting. Fucking ridiculous but I want the money so I have to put up with it. Reviews will take place next week and then in a month we will find out how much of a raise we will get. I am not a fan of that process either. I think when you get your review you should be told how much of a raise, you’re getting but I suppose I am the odd man out on that.
That’s it for the yammering post for the moment. Hope that your doing well and life is treating you good! Take good care of yourself because you are the only you that there is, no one else is like you!
