Morning again

I got to see the ad again for the local massage place and made note of the URL. I took a peek and they don’t have any availability this week. I could do the Friday that I am off or even a Saturday. Kicking that around. A massage sounds really great. There is of course a particular area of my back that is bothering me this morning. Kind of feels like I could just get a quick pop and things would be better. That’s my take away after watching Chiropractic videos.

I have always wanted to smell the scent of a Goose Creek Candle. I know they are having a sale right now, most everything at one place or another is on sale right now. I bought a small Blueberry Pancake Candle that I am waiting to be shipped to me. Pretty Expensive when you add in shipping and taxes but the candle its self was reasonably priced. No one around here sells that brand it’s either Yankee, Hallmark or Wooden Wick. There are some other brands but I’ve never heard of them and I am kind of picky when it comes to scents because lots of smells bother my nose. I am anxious to get this and see how well it really smells.

I had the Ham Dinner I got from the grocery store. I forgot all about the Pineapple & Brown Sugar sauce they include. That is so good with the Ham it just makes the meal. The only thing I didn’t eat was the Cranberries, not a fan of those unless there is some orange mixed in. I just can’t stomach Cranberry anything by itself.

I stopped working a little early yesterday but then again, I didn’t take a full lunch break. I had a rather unique lunch it was salted popcorn with Cinnamon & Sugar Butter. It was pretty good. The entire house smelled like popcorn all day yesterday. A few kernels burnt but that happens. I didn’t think that would hold me over until supper but it really did. I am not much in the mood for food in general due to depression but I am making myself eat and once I get started there is no stopping me.

Work continued to pour in requests after I stopped but nothing was earth shattering so I just let it all sit. In fact, I changed the filter on my phone so I only saw personal email and nothing from work. I still however would get the alerts if something new came in but it didn’t. Eventually we made it into the 5p hour and that right now is usually gold territory.

The vendor I was supposed to work with yesterday never reached out to me so I suspect they never showed up. No big deal by me. I was ready and still am if I need to work with them. The boss is out until Next Wednesday and then it’s back to normal. Right now, were ramping up to the fun time of people leaving at the end of the year. I’ve got 1 person to take care of tonight. I have a couple more tomorrow and then the big wave on Saturday afternoon. Then come Sunday its promotion/title change day. If I feel like it, I can take care of all of that on Saturday afternoon so I don’t have to login on Sunday but it will greatly depend on how I feel. This is kind of exciting for me but it’s also very much a pain.

As for my grieving I have pretty well accepted what has happened, I mean it’s not like I have much of a choice because it’s done. I still find myself making stupid mistakes because I am not thinking clearly. I could honestly use more time away from work but not just to sit idle here. I would much rather have something to do or someplace to go. Right now, I don’t so it’s just go with the flow. I like keeping busy it helps somewhat.

I took a lot of time last night and looked at cats within a 50-mile radius of my home. Man, there sure are a lot of them out there. Some with great names and some with screwy names. They are all pretty much cute but there are a few grumpy looking cats which I think is kind of funny. The applications are pretty much the same asking for background information, references and a good portion of the places require home visits before they will even consider letting you adopt. Fees are kind of all over the place you can spend anywhere from $50 to $200 to adopt. I am leaning towards a bonded pair because 1 just isn’t enough responsibility. All of the places point out that by adopting your making a commitment to the animal and that can be 10 to 20 years long and cost on average about $1,500 per year for food and vet care. They all ask are you ready to make such a commitment? Duh, I am fully aware of the costs associated this isn’t my first rodeo. I do worry if I will get something that I like and something that likes me, that is kind of key to the relationship. I will cross that bridge if and when I get to it. Right now, it’s just looking. Looking leads to adopting so I am sure it won’t be any surprise to anyone if I do in fact pull the trigger again.

It's not exactly a great time around here but I am managing the best I can given the circumstances. Hope that your doing well and staying warm.
