Up way too early

I’ve been up since 4:30a it all started as you might have guessed to feed the Gator.  Then I had problems getting back to sleep.  I finally called it quits at 5:45a and just got out of bed.  I really didn’t want to go in and was quite tired.  However, I just pushed and put one foot in front of the other.  The drive in was pretty good.  It was a little colder this morning both inside the house and outside. 

Once I made it to the office and got settled I was hot.  My office was a balmy 70 degrees and now it’s 72.  I feel a little hot but other than that I am mostly bored.  It’s the calm before the storm and still very early here.  I am anxious for this big meeting this afternoon in wondering what the news is going to be.  I hope it’s something that I can appreciate and enjoy.  I seem to get a bit more than my fair share of negativity or bad and some sunshine is always welcome. 

Speaking of sunshine I checked on my little girl a bit ago.  She is passed out in my room.  I left her with one large can of food that she got hand fed this morning.  I opened a smaller 2nd can and she came off the couch and was chowing down a few minutes before I walked out the door.  When I left she was at the fountain.  I said my parting words and then headed out the door.  Wishing fully that I could just go back to bed, even if for a short time. 

I ate a little bit extra food this morning since I had the time in the hopes it would help keep me awake and fill my belly.  I am sporting my new jeans which are the next size up.  They are comfortable but I still have the same issue with my pants falling down and find myself pulling them up just like the smaller ones.  I am thinking of moving away from a belt and going to suspenders.  Yeah it will look funny but if it helps keep my pants up and I don’t have to constantly pull them up then I will be slightly happier.  What would make me the happiest is if I could actually loose weight and keep it off. 

A sedentary life doesn’t offer much hope that I will loose weight unless I reduce my food intake and change a bit of what I eat.  Food is my reward in many ways and the one thing that I look forward to.

The trap guy hasn’t come back out.  I will give him tonight to see what happens and then I am probably going to bag the traps and stick them in my garage until he eventually surfaces and I will give them back to him.  I should charge him a storage fee as a way to get back my initial investment of his crazy ass setup fee.  I thought about calling him but the more I think about it I kind of would like to wait it out a bit to see what happens.  I figure that eventually he will be back out and if the traps are gone he will be calling or knocking wanting them back.  I mean for all I know the guy passed away.  it just seems odd to tell me that he will be out every day and then not show up for at least 2 days in a row (might be 3).  I’m less than pleased especially since I wound up letting a Raccoon go that I have no idea how long it was trapped for.  If I can get him to come back with 1 trap in the spring and him not charge me the setup fee again I will be happy but if that doesn’t happen I will want to part ways. 

No mouse activity I have checked traps inside the house.  Haven’t seen any of them and no signs they are back in my room picking at Gator’s food.  I think she is watching for them still and hopes they will be back but I honestly will be happiest when they are gone.  The only trick is how do I keep them out and keep them from coming back.  Questions that I would have thought I would have asked by now but have not.  They are on the list to talk to the exterminator. 

Hope you have a great day!
