Happy Friday to you! I am pleased that you stopped by. It’s a very rainy day here. The march of the trash trucks took place at 6a and Rudy was making biscuits on me off and on all night long. I had okay sleep but I wouldn’t call it great sleep. What really hurt was when Morea decided to jump on me and try the biscuit thing. She landed right on my stomach and it was quite startling. Silly cats, they are monkey see monkey do. I still had 30 minutes to go but opted to give up and just get out of bed since I was so rudely shook awake. That’s one way to get food but not the best way.
Both of the cats were hungry and I gave them Fish & Shrimp a Momma’s family favorite. Rudy practically took it over but he at least started sharing with Morea. It’s a Fancy Feast can so it’s small and split between 2 cats there isn’t a whole lot of food there but they have their dry food to fall back on and it’s in a small dish so it gets replaced at least once a day.
Last night when I went to use my massager I found they stashed some cat toys that were laying around the house. It made me proud that they found them and were using them. It’s all hand me downs but they don’t seem to mind at all. My bed can be littered with toys or just have one or two, kind of depends on the mood. They both love my bed but are learning that I need my space as well. That doesn’t mean I get to sleep better but there are times when I am completely alone but I am asleep so I can’t exactly take advantage of it.
At random in my YouTube feed I saw a couple TED Talks given by an Emergency Vet that talked about grief. She’s got a job that take a hero to preform, it’s one of those jobs where you only see the worst case scenarios and the outcomes aren’t always the best. She helped me to understand a bit of what I was feeling and why the loss is so profound. Based on what she said and how I feel I know now that I should have waited a bit longer before getting new cats. However, Morea & Rudy are here and unless something drastic happens they aren’t going anywhere. It hit me the other day that they are each 3 years old and I am their 3rd owner. It’s like they have had 3 different places to live. It’s good to bring an end to that and give them a permanent home. They are helping me as much as I am helping them. Granted they are much more happy and alive than I am.
On the work front, I’ve got a meeting in a 1/2 hour and then nothing until 5p when I get to cut access for someone leaving. It’s going to be a long day but thankfully I can walk away from all of this and go sit in my chair, watch TV and keep an eye on my phone. That’s what I did yesterday and it wasn’t until I sat down to eat that things started blowing up, so I ate and came back downstairs. The afternoon sailed right along and the day was done before I knew it.
For the weekend, I’ve got a haircut lined up for tomorrow. I plan to make a trip to the home improvement store to get the plumbing parts for the Water Softener. I don’t know that I am installing them but if I feel like it I will otherwise it will wait a week. I need to hit up Sam’s. I plan to go to the Steakhouse place I found and of course no weekend would be complete without a trip to the pet food store. Canned food and treats are running low so it’s time to refill.
I see Magic Mike’s Last Dance is on Amazon Prime for rental at $19 with early access. I don’t see it in the local theater so I think if I wait a bit longer that price will for sure drop and then I can rent it. I like the preview and if I would have gone to see it in the theater it wouldn’t have cost me $19 so I don’t see a need to pay that now. I know it makes me sound old but I remember back in the day where you’d head to Blockbuster or the local video store to rent movies. Back when movies were on VCR you’d see that stupid sticker “Be Kind – Rewind” . Then we moved into DVD and that was so much better. I don’t miss that experience much but it’s nice to think about now and then. I know there is one last Blockbuster open and who knows how long that will survive. If that was in my backyard I would stop in just to help keep them afloat.
That’s all I can think of at the moment. Kind of boring I know. It’s a dull, dreary and depressing kind of day even if it’s a Friday. The sun is supposed to be out tomorrow so hopefully my mood will perk up. I’m hopeful for a peaceful day with little to no drama and that in it’s self will be a good thing.
I wish you good fortune and the very best of weekends. Take care, be well and stay safe. I will talk with you all again soon!
