Another average weekend

Hello … It’s been an average weekend.  I got my hair cut and managed to get my neck shaved for free.  The lady that cuts my hair is used to shaving my neck and thought that I ordered that service but I didn’t.  It wasn’t until I got home that I realized I got something for free.  I received the CC&R’s for my HOA in the mail from the local county government.  They are so old they were printed on a dot matrix printer and the only real way I will be able to read them is to scan them in and then magnify the page.  It will be some interesting reading when I get around to it but just not in the mood right now. 

Spent some nap time with Gator, we both enjoyed that.  I ventured out to get a pizza yesterday.  The waiter I have a crush on and want to ask out is now a manager and no longer works the front of the house.  The last time I went the place was empty.  This time it was packed to the brim.  I got in just before the crowd hit.  I spotted a cute guy but he was married, it was nice to look.  Finally my pizza came out.  It looked like it was cut by an alien or someone who didn’t know how in the world to cut pizza.  A few pieces were double size, others were smaller than they should have been.  I got what I ordered and it was good so I didn’t complain.  Since they were packed I wasn’t as well taken care of as I could have been but I didn’t have a dry glass so that in my book is a win. 

Put the pizza away when I got home and fed Gator.  She had moved to the couch so that is where I fed her.  I skipped her pro-biotic yesterday.  It was just an extra effort on my part and I didn’t want to mess with it.  She got her pill and then it was time for bed.  I got her in my lap and she was resting soundly when suddenly she woke up and let me know that she needed down.  She waddled over to the litter box in the hall way and had some diarrhea and it was grey.  She looked way out of sorts and I got her and the litter box cleaned up.  She was confused.  Something like this happened earlier in the year but it was a 1 time thing.  It’s something to be seriously watchful for because more than once indicates a problem.  Its most likely an infection but can also be the result of liver/kidney issues.  I gave her a full dose of fluids which her body just gobbled up.  Once that was done I picked her up and she managed to fall asleep in my lap and was okay.  I got her some food before I went to bed and she ate.  I got her more in the middle of the night when she woke me up twice. 

She is still eating this morning.  I checked and more junk worked its way out of her system overnight.  I am cautiously optimistic and keeping an eye on her.  I think were okay but if not the vet is close by.  I don’t want to go over for a papercut but if there is something seriously wrong with her then I don’t want to delay care.  Right now she is pretty well normal drinking, eating and sleeping.  She did get some new food formulated for urinary tract health and perhaps that along with the absence of her pro-biotic threw her system off.

Woke up for breakfast this morning.  I got my food it wasn’t exactly as I ordered it but I ate it anyway.  My waitress was an older lady who seems to have an attitude.  We have gotten along in the past but lately when she sees me her whole demeanor changes.  This morning instead of focusing on me to take my order, she cleared a table and didn’t bother to write down what I asked for.  That’s why I got the surprise I did.  I’m very polite and easy to deal with, I don’t complain unless there is something wrong.  Kind of strange and I am starting to think perhaps it’s time to stop going for breakfast.  Last week it was the good looking kid who fucked up my order, he was nice but I always have issues with him.  This week the crabby old lady.  I sure do miss the easy days of Steak N Shake where it was a bowl of chili, a burger and a soda for breakfast.  That all went together so well and now they no longer serve breakfast.  There aren’t many places close that do serve breakfast.  However, I can drive a little ways to get some different food, which is something I am considering for next weekend.  Eating out on the weekends is my treat to myself and Breakfast is my favorite meal of them all. 

There is a strange odor back, it started yesterday afternoon in my room.  It’s that gasoline like smell that happens.  I was thinking to myself yesterday morning that the house hasn’t smelled bad for a while and it’s like that was the jinx.  I have no idea what it is.  There have been no further mice catches and I haven’t seen any.  I’ve got an odor bag that I am going to deploy and I am burning a candle in my room in the hopes of downing out the smell.  I was convinced something had died under my bed but I checked and nope.  The only other place is my closet and but it’s odd for this to start out of the blue when it’s been quiet for a while.  The only thing about cold weather that I like is that is the one time of year there are no odors in my home unless I burn a pizza.  I hate not knowing the source of an odor and trying to track down the source is even worse. 

I tried out my new face brush and there is nothing sonic about it.  It’s just a brush that spins in a circle really fast by default or you can slow it down.  Not 100% that I am going to keep it.  I dug out my old Clarasonic and found a fresh brush for it.  I am trying to charge it and if the charge takes then I will keep it juiced up and switch back to it.  Otherwise I guess I will stay with the circular brush.  The extra help made me feel like my face was really clean and it did feel good but it times out quickly so I had to run it like 3 cycles before I was happy that I got all of my face. 

Made it through the grocery store this morning, they have once again moved things around.  Cereal is back to where it used to be but they didn’t have any Chocolate Oatmeal.  I really bought next to nothing and that was evident by the $58 that I spent.  I never get out of there for less than $80 normally.  I got some cat food for Gator.  I resisted the sweets I normally get although I did grab a box of donuts.  It’s going to be a tough week for me with next to nothing sweet to snack on.  However, I am serious about loosing weight.  It won’t be fun or easy.  I will be upset when I can’t find something to curb my sweet tooth but then again I can’t gain weight by eating something I don’t have.  It will be a punishment but also a test to my will power.  I will either make it or break down and go buy something.  I needed to get to Sam’s but I purposely stayed away because they have a bakery that I just can’t seem to pass up. 

Here’s hoping that it’s an okay week and we all survive.  Turning over a new month and that always means extra work for me with stats to gather and reports to compile.  I fucking hate it.  I also need to work on the on-call schedule and really don’t want to do that either.  However, it will all come together eventually. 

Cheers!
