Thanksgiving is over and today is the best part, a day of recovery or doing whatever you want. Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday not only because of the food but because you get the day after off and don’t have to worry about going back to work like you do with every other holiday, they are all 1-day events and if you want additional time you have to use vacation.
I got many calls from my Thanksgiving friends on the day of because I never responded to the text message. I got an email as well as 2 voice mails. They figured Gator was dead and I was sitting in a corner not knowing what to do with myself. I ignored them on purpose since the notice I got about the time to eat was last minute. I’m tired of being last. When something happens to Gator, I have no idea how I will be, but rest assured right now she is fine.
I was the first one there just sat outside in the rain in my vehicle waiting for the food wagon to pull up and then I carried in the bulk of the food. It was super heavy and there was plenty. Everyone got something to take home. My bad had Ham/Turkey, left over Spaghetti, 4 Cheese Ravioli, A whole order of stuffing (never that that), Gravy, Cesar Salad and Pumpkin Praline Cheesecake. I’ve got enough to make it through the weekend and don’t need to go out to eat at all. The spaghetti is done, had that for lunch. Had part of the Cesar salad as well. I plan to fix myself a plate when I go up in a bit.
It was a nice time, some lively conversation, some of the old stories about pets came up. They have cat that they keep saying had a stroke because he mimics the symptoms of a person who has had a stroke. He walks in circles. The other cats hiss at him and he’s generally not himself. He had a cold but some antibiotics cleared that up. It sounds like he had an infection that went to his brain and it’s really fucked him up. I think they will wind up losing him just because he poses a safety hazard, if you don’t watch out it’s easy to trip over him. My friends are both up there in age and a fall could easily cause a bone to break or some other serious type injury. I hate that they let their cat get so sick that it scrambled his brain but they have quite the herd of cats. I kind of expected better from them but there isn’t much I can do about it.
This was oddly the first year that there was no talk about Christmas Dinner so perhaps I got myself on the naughty list or maybe they aren’t thinking that far ahead right now. I’m sure time will tell.
I sent a text to the waiter wishing him a Happy Thanksgiving but he of course being a millennial didn’t bother to respond. I’m done with texting him; the next move has to come from him. I’m sure our paths will cross when I eat out but this weekend I plan to purposely stay away if I can manage. It’s tough to resist going out for breakfast.
Today has pretty well been spent sleeping and being with Gator. I came down to check and work on the computer around 2p and went back up once to feed her. I need to gather the trash, put on some pants and push the trash barrel out to the curb or I am going to have a mess on my hands. Lazy is the name of the game here right now. Not much on TV but I am sure I will manage to land on something this evening that will occupy me until it’s time to turn in.
My first porn data copy job finally finished. I have been able to reboot and I have another job started. It should finish up tomorrow. I don’t expect to be finished with this project anytime soon but I will be a bit happier or so I hope when I am done.
Time to tend to the trash and get moving. It’s only 6:30p and it feels so much later to me. It’s not like I need to be up early for anything tomorrow but Gator is doing her best to keep me on my regular schedule. It will really suck come Sunday night but for right now I am going to ride the ride for all it’s worth and enjoy. I never touched a computer yesterday and it was around 8p when I got to review social media. Gator was sleeping in my lap at the time and had been given food. As long as she is taken care of and happy then I’m happy. It would be nice if things materialized with this waiter dude but I honestly think that is going no where fast which is why I won’t be investing more of my time until he invests some of his. Fingers crossed that it will happen.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying Friday and soon the weekend. Take care and be well.
