Lazy Day

I opted to skip laundry, I’ve got enough clean clothes and not much laundry to do.  I took today as a true holiday and was lazy all day long.  Slept in and just relaxed with my girl.  I wanted to be with her as much as possible today because we will be separated for a few hours tomorrow and it kills me because tomorrow is her birthday.  It’s tough to grasp that she will be 18 as it seems like just yesterday she was born.  It also causes me to think back to what was and how much I miss everyone.  I am certainly not looking forward to her checking out but I also realize that each day does bring us closer to that.  I hope that she can make it to 20 or even slightly past that.  It’s really gonna to hurt me deeply when she checks out but right now my focus is on ensuring that she is well taken care of and comfy in her old age as well as enjoying all of the time I can possibly get with her.  What a girl!

We watched God’s Favorite Idiot on Netflix that took up a huge chunk of the afternoon.  We both got a nap together.  She got some good food.  I had some cereal for breakfast.  Opted to go out for lupper (that’s lunch & supper rolled into one meal).  I wanted to hit up a local pizza place that makes pizza similar to where I travel to for my normal pizza.  Unfortunately, I didn’t know this and found out the hard way they are closed on Mondays.  I stopped by another pizza place and got something I haven’t had in a while, it was not the same and not nearly as filling.  I dropped a lotta dough for not a lotta pizza.  At least I brought some home in a box and can polish it off for a quick dinner tomorrow night. 

My replacement gas lift arrived.  I just got done swapping it out and my chair is much more comfortable now.  I know way too well how to get a gas lift out of an office chair and replace it.  Not a skill that I had thought I would ever need.  I’ve got a spare on hand if and when this one breaks, if I can remember that.  I kind of was hoping they would make me ship the old defective one back but they don’t want it.  I really don’t want to throw it in the trash but that’s probably where it will go. 

I’m presently in the middle of the movie Spiderhead with Miles Teller.  He’s the entire reason why I elected to watch it.  It’s not bad but he’s been in better movies.  I’d love to hook up with him but realize that won’t happen.  In this movie they said that loneliness is like smoking 15 cigarettes' a day, it’s apparently got that profound of an impact on your life.  Not exactly sure if that is totally true.  I will be the first one to tell you it isn’t totally good for you but in short bursts I think everyone could benefit a little bit.  Certainly not how I want to spend the remainder of my years but yet I forge forward. 

If I would have gotten out at all today I would have spent money that I didn’t need to.  I was really thinking about getting a laptop but after putting some final thoughts into it, I am better off getting the new laptop that my employer if offering me, despite not wanting to have to carry a piece of equipment to and from the office it’s in my best interest and offers the greatest privacy.  Considering that spying on people is part of my job I kind of have the inside scoop and as they say knowledge is power!

Speaking of work, there was quite a bit of activity today but I changed my focus on my email to be personal only.  I get chirps when a new work email arrives but I haven’t paid any attention to it.  It’s not like whatever is there will magically disappear tomorrow.  It’s a holiday and I’m not on call so no sense in focusing on work.  We should be hearing about our pay raises in the next few weeks and I am looking forward to more money!  In fact a good portion of the day my phone was in the living room while Gator and I were in my bedroom.  I would have heard it if it rang but otherwise I forgot all about it.  Gator just gets this look of disgust on her face when she sees me on my phone or even my work laptop.  Today has mostly been about her and that was by design.  I’ve got to go in tomorrow despite not wanting to.  If I am ill that is another story but otherwise so long as I am able I need to be there instead of here. 

I need to shave tonight and while I like to follow that up with a shower, I will be showering tomorrow morning so I’ll save it for then.  I am hopeful that I don’t break out again, seem that when I shave my face it somehow irritates my neck despite the razor not coming in contact with my neck.  I am also still broken out and am really anxious for that to go away. 

I snuck down to get in a few computer moments and surf for what’s new in porn today.  I will be going back up after I finish my surfing and finishing up the movie.  Then not exactly sure what we will watch but we have a few hours to pass until it will be time to get ready for tomorrow.  I just hope I don’t forget to make a sandwich tonight so I will have something to eat tomorrow.  My afternoon is jam packed with meeting after meeting so I will be eating as I work, not fond of that but it kind of helps justify when I walk out early – after arriving early, getting no lunch it only makes sense that I leave early.  At least to me, then again I am applying logic and common sense, which don’t seem to exist in the business world but they sure do in my world. 

Hope you had a great Monday and that the week ahead will breeze by so we can be looking forward to another weekend.  Take care, stay cool & hydrated.  Talk with you all again soon.
