Drinking from a fire hose

This morning felt like I was drinking from a fire hose.  So much to catchup on and try to accomplish.  It took me a few hours and I whittled at things one at a time until I finally got done.  Wow.  There is one meeting this afternoon with a vendor and that is all that is on my calendar for now.  I don’t know that it will stay that way but I sure hope it does. 

I got tagged by a mosquito in two spots on the same hand.  The first is on top just below my first knuckle in-between your first finger and thumb.  Then on the underside on my wrist, next to a cyst that I have.  Damn I am all kinds of itchy.  Blood thirsty fuckers, I hate them.  They can bite me and I never know it until the itching starts.  I kind of wish my body was a little bit more sensitive so I could kill them before they accomplished their bite. It’s been that way all of my life so I don’t suspect things will ever change. 

The probiotic that Gator takes is out of stock at Amazon.  Thankfully Chewy sells it so I got it there and placed another food order as well.  Almost $200 with tax.  I like their speed but I hate the fact that I have to buy a case of a flavor of food instead of a couple cans.  You never know with Gator when she is going to turn her nose up at something.  My two biggest fears is that I will have a bunch of food and she will die and the second fear is that I will have a bunch of food and she will turn her nose up at it all.  This is our 3rd order and it should hopefully be here by the end of the week.  That might spare me from a trip to the pet food store. 

I woke up last night around 2a and couldn’t go back to sleep.  I checked on Gator and she was sleeping so I tried to be as quiet as possible but as soon as I was ready to go back to bed, she woke up and it was a mess.  I got her some food but she wanted attention and I was trying to get back to sleep so I had to listen to her beg from my bed and eventually she gave up but it took forever.  I never really got to sleep solid just a little bit here and a little bit there.  I finally gave up at 6:30a and got out of bed.  I am tired but functioning. 

I found Gator by the fountain.  She had some breakfast.  I gave her a 1/2 dose of fluid in the hopes of helping her out and getting her to perk up.  We skipped the pred. last night and I never was able to give her fluids as I had planned.  I need to call the vet for more medicine.  Between her food and medicine she is gobbling up a small fortune but that is what animals do.  She has been quiet all morning long so I need to go check on her and see if she wants some lunch.

I got in a shower last night and am still a bit sore and bruised but functioning.  Now if I could just get all of the mice to move out I’d be a little bit happier.  I found two gutters that don’t fully connect to the drain hoses, I’ve always had a suspicion that they were using the gutter system to sneak in and out.  I have ordered extension hoses and they should be here in time for the weekend, if I feel like it I will go out and install them.  I am pretty determined to get rid of these little fuckers they have been free loading here long enough and I have no idea on what kind of damage they have done but I want them out before they start a fire or the house caves in.  My best guess tells me that rodent damage isn’t covered by insurance but I haven’t combed through my policy.  I’m not looking for a battle I just want them to leave and to be left alone with my girl so we can enjoy what time we have left in peace. 

I am really craving pizza because I haven’t had it in so long.  I am thinking of a weekend trip but not 100% sure about that just yet.  I may go to a different place that is closer that I don’t tend to hit up much.  They don’t have deep dish but they do a great hand tossed crust that is very good and I can’t get that anywhere but there.  Interesting the things we crave. 

Can’t believe at the end of next week I will be 51.  An entire year has gone by so fast but that tends to happen with age.  I don’t expect that anyone will bother to hit me up to grab a bite to eat, I may get a a happy birthday wish but honestly I don’t expect much.  Last year was the big one and I didn’t want to be alone for that.  This year I really don’t want to be alone on my birthday either just because.  Holidays and Birthdays are the absolute worst for me and it’s getting worse instead of better with time.  I was doing okay for a while but for some reason it’s highly sensitive for me.  At times I still can’t fathom the fact that I am all alone, but it is a reality.  Get seriously ill or hurt and it’s way worse.  Staying healthy and walking around life is bad but not as bad as when your down. 

Not much on the old TV.  I’ve been watching Family Matters.  I started with the last season and finished it.  Now I skipped to the middle and am watching from like season 5 on.  If I see a Christmas episode I will skip it for sure.  What a great show that was.  I was so much younger then but life was really good, problem is I didn’t fully realize it.  In case you’d like to watch Family Matters is on HBOMax.  Looking forward to the new Fall seasons starting soon. 

Up to check on my furry girl, grab some lunch and then back to the daily grind.  I will finish up my week here at home, only 2 days left after today.  I should hopefully get a better nights rest.  Looking forward to that.  Take care and be well.
