Manic Monday

Happy Monday if that is such a thing.  I had a semi-decent nights sleep.  I woke up to use the restroom and as I vaguely remember it I had some bad dreams, but couldn’t tell you what they were now if my life depended on it.  I just remember that Rudy followed me to the bathroom because he’s my shadow.  I woke up with 1 cat in bed with me this morning I think it was Rudy but am not 100% certain. 

I went through my routine and the cats were so confused as to why I was up an hour early.  However, they took the opportunity to eat and play a little bit.  After my shower I saw Rudy jump into the tub, despite it being wet it didn’t phase him..  I turned my back and him and Morea switched places.  It was so funny.  They both thought I was upset with them but I could careless.  I didn’t spray any cleaner after my shower so it was perfectly safe, just left over water that they were playing with.  I knew the shower/tub fascinated Rudy but had no idea that his sister had similar feelings or if this was just a case of monkey see – monkey do. 

They both looked at me with sad eyes as I walked out the door, I told them both to behave.  I plan to be home before 5p.  As things sit right now unless something goes horribly wrong I plan to leave around 3p to 3:30p.  I can play catchup when I arrive home, if that is needed.  Hopefully, I will be able to enjoy my evening in peace. 

The office has more people in it for a Monday than I expected.  The commute was average for a workday.  I felt a little off when I left the house but stayed in the moment and focused.  As I began work it hit me again that I wasn’t feeling the best.  About an hour ago my nose was bothering me, I was hot and felt horrible.  I looked in my lunch box and found an allergy pill, took that and now everything seems much better.  I am no longer hot and my sinuses seemed to have calmed down.  I smelled dust when I walked in and I am allergic so that is what I am attributing this to.  I certainly don’t want to relapse into the viral syndrome or anything like it – that is so not fun. 

I can’t help but think of a friend who is on vacation with his family.  Kind of wish I was with him but he’s on a cruise and out of the country.  2 weeks sounds like a good time.  I know he was looking forward to it.  He works pretty hard so why not play hard as well.  That’s exactly what I want to do is leave for a couple weeks.  However, with the new boat anchors (aka cats) unless I had someone to go with me I don’t think I would have such a good time.

I thought I spotted a bargain yesterday at the store.  A decent size tub of Belgian Chocolate Pudding.  I bought it despite it being Gluten Free.  Man it needs Gluten because it doesn’t taste the best.  I mean I am going to finish the tub but it’s not high on my priority list.  I’m thinking about the last piece of German Chocolate Cake I have left.  I bought a 1/2 of a Carrot Cake and I look forward to diving into that.  I might not have a man but I’ve got food, it won’t look good on me but it sure tastes good going down.  Working on the left over pizza.  Had 2 pieces for supper last night, it was okay.  Really not looking forward to that again tonight but I need to make it disappear.  I will feel better when I’ve consumed it all.  Plus the refrigerator will smell a bit better. 

Looking forward to lunch.  Tuna Fish on some multi-grain bread.  I got Cheetos Puffs and a Cherry Pie.  Threw in a Peanut Butter granola bar just in case.  However, I think that will fill me up.  I get to go earlier today because of a project that required me to be in the office.  Which is the sole reason why I am here on a Monday.  I looked at my calendar and it’s been almost an entire month since I was here last.  That sure did go by fast. 

My neck and shoulder are bothering me a little bit, nothing a good massage couldn’t fix but I don’t have one lined up.  I kind of think that might have been the root of my viral illness.  Despite drinking plenty of water I don’t know that I flushed all of the toxins out of my body afterwards.  I would like to get back to a regular schedule to help reduce the pain and to feel better but finding a decently priced and good massage therapist is tough.   

I’ve got nothing else to really babble about so I guess it’s back to work for a bit before lunch time rolls around.  After that it’s all gravy to me as it’s downhill and going home will be well within sight.  Don’t think I am not watching the clock.  I wore my dress watch to work and it’s ticking away. 

Hope you have a good day.  Take care & be well.  Thanks for your visit.  Talk with you all again soon.
