I took a computer break for the weekend. I updated my bank book on Sunday and read a little bit of email. Otherwise, I was upstairs with Gator. The weekend seems like it was so long ago. Gator had me up a lot on Friday night / Saturday morning. I wound up sleeping a good portion of Saturday. I did make it out to the Mexican restaurant. I ordered something different which turned out to be a mistake. It was cheaper than my usual order but didn’t taste as good and wasn’t nearly as filling. The odd thing is they were out of Diet Pepsi, they said there was a shortage and it was really hard to come by. Perhaps they are talking about the syrup version of for restaurants because you can walk into any store around here and buy it in cans or bottles no problem.
I went out for breakfast on Sunday and ordered those Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes again. They are advertising them on TV now and oddly I started craving them. Not quite like the first time but they were good. I was also starving, which doesn’t happen often. I got up early and drove in the rain. It rained pretty much all day long. I thought about going out in the afternoon for a bite to eat but instead stayed home. Just watched movies with Gator.
Got the cleaning and laundry done. It was very boring and I was climbing the walls. I hated sitting around doing nothing. Funny thing when I am being paid it sounds great but when I am on my time it’s like the worst thing in the world.
Picked up a cheesecake at the grocery store, after the pancakes it just sounded really good. They didn’t have much in the way of cat food but I did get a few cans of Turkey in Gravy. Gator is being extra picky since the flavors are limited to what I just bought. She senses repeat now and isn’t eating as much of them. She loves try to get me to open a new can. No good deed goes unpunished, at least not in my world. Still I keep trying in the hopes that my luck will change.
Boss man is on vacation this week so it’s all quiet thus far. I don’t really have much of anything on my agenda today. That means it’s going to be a very long day. I will keep my eyes open and lend a hand when I can, which is my normal way of operating. I do plan on going into the office tomorrow and I am going to try not to make a big deal about it, in the hopes that Gator won’t throw a fit. I won’t be going in next week because I will be on-call so I’d really like to get in tomorrow. We have a new person starting in a different department but I need to do something in person for them before they arrive. Otherwise, other than socializing there really is no need to go in.
It’s going to be a super hot week here, we cooled off nicely overnight with all of the rain but now it’s back to the pressure cooker. Glad I am on the inside where a machine controls my climate, of course I pay for that. Speaking of paying I looked at my water bill for this month. It’s based on usage for last month. It was $5 it’s something I never really pay attention to. The largest item on the bill is Trash and that is what drives the cost of the bill up but overall Water, Sewer & Trash is only $50 to $55 per month, which I think is really good. I am the only one to consume city water. Gator’s water comes from a bottle at the grocery store, I switched all of the cats to purified water a very long time ago and noticed that it decreased the amount of vet visits we had. It’s pricy but not nearly as expensive as a trip to the vet. As long as she is still drinking I am still buying.
Here’s to what I hope is a great quiet week! Fingers crossed.
