It’s been one thing after another this morning. What started off as a chill morning quickly spun out of control and finally I am caught up as well as done for the day. That is barring any emails or requests that will come in. Otherwise, I’ve accomplished everything on my calendar short of my LUNCH appointment, which is nothing more than time blocked out so I actually get to eat. Sadly, it doesn’t always work that way but I still have the reminder there. Being diabetic eating is important, otherwise my sugar drops and that is no fun.
Coming downstairs this morning I was hopeful that I would have caught a mouse but no such luck. Thus far I haven’t seen the bastard and odds are pretty good that today if I don’t see it that I probably won’t. I scattered some of the essential oil packets. They smell quite good and double as air freshener. I still need to get them in the attic but they might (fingers crossed) just be what I need to finally evict these freeloaders!
I see that the Supreme Court ruling on Abortion is out and that it’s been overturned as was expected from the leaked opinion that surfaced a few months ago. I’ve got no opinion on abortion as it’s not something I will deal with in my lifetime, given that I am gay. I see both sides of the argument but it’s just something I have no real opinion on one way or the other. This will always be a hot button topic from now until the end of time and I do foresee the pendulum swinging both ways where it will go from being illegal to legal. I don’t think that this will ever be an issue that is fully settled and cemented in concrete.
I made a task list and on there is my 3rd COVID booster. Oddly but not to my surprise I put it last on the list and would like to have everything on the list done in the next two weeks. The shot will happen but as for all of the other tasks they will happen but just not sure they will be done within the time frame I want. I am lazy, tired and old. As you might imagine I just don’t have a lot of motivation or gumption to cross these things off my list. They need to be done and sooner rather than later but I am somehow able to just throw up my hands and say whatever. I don’t like that, it is not who I am or how I think but everything does change with age. There is just something that hits me when I get time off and I just let everything go and don’t really care about much. If I could get away with skipping going out I probably would. That’s why I tend to sleep so much. I think part of it is lazy and the other part is severe depression. However, I still function on some level and have yet to let anything slip. Wish I had $ then I could have a staff and just sleep & lounge.
I saw some good news yesterday on Twitter. The new Top Gun is back in IMAX but when I went to look in my area there is only one place showing it, which is close to me but it’s at 10:45p that is tonight and Saturday. I want to see the movie in IMAX but not after working all day, I won’t be able to stay awake and not that late on the weekend. Staying up that late is kind of a challenge. I mean I’d make it to 10:45p no problem and even into 11ish but after that all bets are off and I would probably grow drowsy even without sleeping meds. Guess I will still be waiting for this one to come to the streaming platform, sadly.
Speaking of sleeping, Gator woke me up twice last night. Were falling back to our pattern of April where she is just hungry all the damn time for no reason. She isn’t finishing the entire can of food all the time. The afternoon and evening are her busy times to eat. If I am hand feeding her she will eat most everything not at once but over the course of a couple hours. Then she asks for another can, she will inhale that and then ask for another. Just before I turn in for the night I make sure she has something and then I go to bed with the hope that she will be satisfied all night long but that never seems to be the case. I had the thought maybe it’s not food that she wants but more so attention or comfort. I mean she is used to waking me up, me giving her food and that usually brings a quick end to it. However, if I close my door were done. If I leave the door open and sit up she will want to climb up in my lap and pass out. Then when I wake her so I can go back to bed she isn’t happy but doesn’t usually bother me again. This little ‘unknown’ problem is driving me crazy when it flairs up. I get little sleep and I suffer for it. I’ve thought about throwing in the towel and while it sounds good on one hand, I just can’t do that. I mean it’s not like she is suffering in any obvious pain or discomfort, other than hunger pains. I do have every plan of keeping her until she either gives up or it’s obvious that her health has declined to the point where she has no quality of life. The love I feel for her is very real and while frustrated I know no one else would put up with this or go to the lengths that I do to please her. Her age as well as my love for her helps her to get away with a lot in my book. Her looks aren’t bad either. I wish I had them, then I wouldn’t be single or at least not for long!
Plans for the weekend? The trip to the attic is for sure going to happen. I will do all of my usual errands as well as try to squeeze in a Target run. I am going back and forth for food if I want to travel for Pizza or if I want to hit up a Mexican place. Cost wise when I look at fuel Pizza would for sure cost more. I am kind of wanting to see the cute waiter but last time he wasn’t working and I honestly don’t even know if he is still there. I know one thing, I won’t go hungry for food. It’s also going to be HOT outside.
Here’s hoping it’s a relaxing but productive weekend for all of us! Stay cool and be well. Next week is a full 5 days but after that we get a holiday and another 4 day work week. Something to look forward to! Who knows maybe BBQ will be in my future as well.
