Howdy! I had one call last night, nothing terribly serious just bad timing. I got it taken care of and was relaxing with Morea in my lap and Rudy on my bed. Suddenly and without much warning I managed to drift off, I was exhausted. I was kind of surprised but after the day I had with the manual labor on the Water Softener it all makes sense.
Once I woke up I managed to get Morea off my lap, which was no easy task. She likes to setup shop, nap and it’s like trying to move concrete but if you chip away at her long enough she will give in, not necessarily happy about it but she will give in.
I had Fish & Mac n Cheese for supper, simple & easy. Had some gummy worms for desert. Then it was off to camp in front of the TV. I took in Kathleen Madigan’s new comedy special on Amazon. It was good, I got a couple of chuckles in. I am a tough customer to make laugh and I think the more shit that life hands me the tougher that gets. However, laughter is something that I enjoy and not something that I fight but it’s got to appeal to me. Some people and comedians can make me laugh easier than others. It also depends on what I am going through or what the day has dealt me. Once I get rolling with laughter it’s kind of difficult to stop me.
I surfed Social Media again. Morea tried to bite my phone and really didn’t want me paying attention to anything or anyone but her. I gave her some minor attention and then I kept on. Nothing really of note but it’s one of a few activities that I do on a daily basis that is enjoyable and quite addicting. Kind of like eating or breathing.
I took some extra sleeping medicine and did it early so that I would get a decent nights sleep. I woke up at 3a once again with my legs 1/2 off the bed. It was a dream where I was walking and my hips were hurting when I woke up, not to mention my back. I’ve got a couple of knots on each side that are bothering me. I had to fight with the cats to reclaim part of my bed. The best part was when I woke back up at 5a and had to use the bathroom. They both were certain I was getting up so they followed me. I got to climb back into an empty bed and ah that was so nice to have my entire bed to myself. I had that yesterday afternoon when I tried but failed at taking a nap. It’s been a little over a month since I was the only one sleeping in that bed. I kind of miss that but don’t want to trade in the cats. I’d gladly buy them their own small bed but I don’t think they would want to sleep in it. At this point there are only two ways I am going to get a bed to sleep in by myself. That is 1 to kick them out and not permit them in my room OR 2 to go check into a hotel. I am apt to try option #1 but I really don’t want to hurt their feelings, that is the only thing that is preventing me from giving it a try however were getting closer to that point in time.
I could for sure use a nice massage. If I could teach both of them to make their biscuits on my upper back they would do a decent job. Morea weights more so she would be the best at it. Rudy weights next to nothing and makes quick biscuits whereas Morea takes her time. Regardless it feels good so long as they don’t opt to use their claws. I don’t have high hopes for trying to train them to work on my back. I should probably invest in a massage chair, that would be money well spent, especially for all of the aches I have. I couldn’t imagine getting a massage each day but it would have to be something that was worth while so that I didn’t have to supplement with a human. Massages via a human are expensive but that seems to be the only method that is really of any effect on me. I’d ask the doctor for physical therapy but they would want me to do all sorts of exercises, constantly ask me when I was going back to the doctor and then there is the travel to and from. When I think about all of that it’s kind of not worth it, even though it could help me feel better.
It’s going to be another day of stupid meetings. We have serious storms in the forecast for today and then tomorrow the temperature drops. It’s like today it’s spring and tomorrow its back to winter. It’s not terribly uncommon for this time of year. However I think were going to have another year where we go from a couple days of Spring straight into the heat of Summer with very little transition time, which also seems to be more normal. It wasn’t like that when I was younger you could experience all 4 seasons here. Personally, I would be okay if it was in the low to mid 70’s year round. That would be comfortable and I think enjoyable. However, I know that it’s possible to get better weather but it would require a move.
I almost forgot the most important part, I won at Powerball finally. I got 2 numbers and depending on which internet resource is correct I either get $4 or $7. I’ll find out if I remember to take the ticket to the grocery store with me on Sunday. I did say please God let me win but I wasn’t specific on the sum, so perhaps I got what I asked for. It would be nice to win something sizeable where I could quit my job and move and travel. Not sure if that will ever happen especially if my dreams are contingent on winning the lottery because the odds are certainly NOT stacked in my favor.
I had to clean up another mess that a co-worker created and I am really pissed off about it. Today is one of those days where I wish I could just walk away. While I can leave at any time and without any notice I have to think more about how I would survive and it’s just not prudent to throw away everything because I got pissed off. It’s a good thing that I am separated by geography from my co-workers and my boss because there are times when I’d like to slap them all. I’m sure that goes both ways.
Not much else going on, thus far it’s calm but the day is still young. I hope that all goes well for me and for you. Take care and stay safe. We will talk again soon.
