Time for another Monday, already! Stupid seems to be rearing it’s ugly head again which always angers me. This time in the form of a co-worker who is rushing through his work and forgetting to tick items off of a check list, so it looks like tasks aren’t done when they have actually been completed. I sent a complete list and the got the reply that it’s all done. I look it over and only part of it is done so I have to send it back and continue to make him look like an ass. I don’t understand. It’s a simple task, don’t rush and take your time it’s not like I applied any pressure to say this needs to be done now. I’ve been dealing with shit like this for over 3 years now and it is way past being old. I have started to include our boss to shame him and call him out directly. That is my only weapon to use. Seeing shit like this makes me want to scream.
There wasn’t much waiting for me from the time I turned my phone off on Friday. Looks like all of the troubles from that day have been worked out.
Now I’m waiting on a piece of information for a new person that started. I’ve had a conversation with the person who needs to get me the info. they are usually really responsive and nothing but crickets thus far. I don’t want to ask for fear that I will get my head bit off so instead I sit and wait while twiddling my fingers. I have done all I can and can’t move forward without the information.
Got an email from the exterminator that he will be by tomorrow. Well that’s not a good fit for my work day. Way too much going on. I’d like to have him come then but I’ve asked to reschedule for Thursday. Nothing but crickets thus far. I will probably call later in the day if I hear nothing.
Thankfully not much is planned for today and it’s a typical Monday where you deal with what comes in the door but there aren’t any meetings scheduled. It kind of gives everyone a chance to get their feet wet again and slowly ease into the work week. Not a bad thing but it can make for a long day.
Yesterday afternoon was a bit hectic for me. I ventured out to the pharmacy and of course as soon as I get there my body says you need to use the bathroom. I got what I needed and had to return home. Took care of the bathroom thing. Then back out to the cat food store. Not a whole lot of variety to choose from but I made it work as best I could. I had 2 bags each of them had 2 cans get lodged in each side of the child seat portion of the cart. 1 bag I was able to get detangled without a problem. The other one ripped right open. I had to combine bags. Then made my way to Subway for The Boss. It’s nothing more than a Meatball Sub with Salami & Cheese. There was a foreign person working the counter and it was difficult to understand him. I was able to finally pay for the sandwich and was on my way. I was glad to be back home.
Heated up the sandwich which was pretty good. The marinara sauce was on the spicy side so I took an antacid pill to play it safe. Then returned to my room to be with Gator. She sat in my lap and snoozed. I said I would give her an hour but that turned in to an hour and a half. She finally woke up on her own and I was able to fetch my laundry. Got her some fresh food and made the bed. She wanted to spend some time by the fountain and I just returned to my room to rest. It was hot and I resisted turning on the AC because it was going to get super cold over night. I had the ceiling fan on and that did a great job.
Got back up about an hour later and started working on shutting down for the day, getting Gator her meds, picking out food, getting water for me and then finally taking care of brushing my teeth and resting. I added a new OTC sleeping pill with my prescription one. I did my research and it said that outside of being seriously drowsy there was no other risks. It took a while to kick in. I remember being afraid to fall asleep, just bad thoughts and then I was out. I woke up with the Alarm clock going off. I never woke up all night long. Not sure if Gator tried to wake me or not. I didn’t want to get up and damn it felt really nice to have a great nights sleep. Outside of being a little tough to get started this morning I was okay. I plan to do it again tonight but to take the medicine a bit sooner in the hopes it will kick in quicker and I can get even more rest.
The Gator was fed pretty good before I nodded off. That’s why I think she didn’t bother me during the night. It’s either that or she tried but got no response. I don’t have any memory of her trying to wake me up. I am over the insomnia and really need sleep. That is a foundation that can affect how the next day goes and I am tired of having to do without it for hours on end. Nothing worse than being awake, wanting to eat but not eating and then not being able to go to sleep.
I don’t need to be quite as drowsy as Gator who seems to be able to fall asleep for hours on end at the drop of a hat. It’s only a little after 10:30a here and I haven’t moved from the time I took this seat at a little after 7:30a. Time to check on her and see what is going on.
I am thinking of having a couple Hot Dogs for lunch and looking forward to that. It’s something different. Then some Beef Barley Soup for supper with some crackers. Sounds great. I’ve got a great idea for desert. A hot chocolate chip muffin with chocolate ice cream on the side and slight drizzle of chocolate sauce. Ah that should take care of every sweet craving I have for the day. It will also be a nice way to finish things off. We have a freeze warning in effect for tonight and it’s suppose to be really cold all week long. Next week some Indian Summer and then back to Fall. Most of my grass is burnt up but there is still some green and I see some slight growth. I don’t think it really needs to be cut but I am not saying anything. I think after this month is done I will call it end of season unless there is some drastic change. No sense in cutting grass in November when it should be much colder.
I called for Turkey Day but they aren’t taking reservations for carry out yet. Cracker Barrel however will let you place an order in the App for a Turkey or Ham package they have a couple different sizes and they look to be really good. I was told to call back at the first of the month. They are waiting on a menu to know what they are having. I suspect it will be the same as last year but the price will be higher.
That’s all I know for now. Waiting patiently for lunch and then for the day to be over with. I am over work, dealing with stupid and tired of being angry. I actually would like to be left alone. Loneliness is far better than being angry. Granted it’s a wide swing in mood but I will take being left alone over being bothered and upset.
Happy Monday!
