Friyay

We did it again, it’s Friday!  Hello & welcome back to another post. 

My leg was really bothering me last night, felt cold and I felt the tingling sensation like when you sit on your leg/foot for too long.  I got out the massager and ran it for a bit.  I did some walking around the house.  Wound up taking a shower which is where I got the most relief. 

Had Fish with Mac & Cheese for supper.  The cats basked in the wind looking out the backdoor that I opened for them.  They were memorized and constantly watching for something moving.  One of the kids next door ruined it for us because he started up the mower.  Tiny kid, large push lawn mower.  He can barley start the thing.  He made a couple of passes and the engine was making sounds, I knew what was going to happen and it did.  The engine died.  We had fun watching him try to fill it with gas, he inhaled the fumes and began coughing and then he had a hell of a time starting the mower. Meanwhile a lawn guy showed up and was mowing a neighbors lawn.  I wanted to go help the poor kid but with a little bit of time he was able to get it started again.  That’s when I closed up shop and called it a day. 

The cats were interested in sunning and watching out the windows.  I was able to retreat to my room to finish up NYC Emergency and it was really good.  I hope they do a second season. 

Skimmed social media and took in some Network TV.  It was an ok night, nothing great but nothing horribly bad either, other than my leg bothering me. 

Slept mostly decent.  Rudy had to climb all over me.  I found him sleeping on top of me on a couple of occasions.  I like it but when I need to move I need to move and it matters not that he is on top of me.  The march of the trash trucks woke me up and that’s when I gave up.  Got out of bed a 1/2 hour early. 

Went to the kitchen for breakfast for me and the cats.  I ate a bit too much but then again I do love breakfast and I had time on my hands.  We have severe weather forecast for today (possible tornados) so I used the early wake up call to my advantage and grabbed the trash barrel. 

I’m wearing a short sleeve shirt that I swore off a while back.  Every time I wear this shirt something bad happens.  I didn’t think about it but the tornadoes that are possible, perhaps I should switch shirts.  The one thing I thought is that I’d have no problem getting these cats to the basement.  Since I keep them out they always want to come in.  Whereas with Gator the door was wide open and it just didn’t matter her and her family were born in the basement and it was just another place in the house so it’s like there was no attraction.  Morea & Rudy have only been down here a few times and it’s like pulling teeth to get them back up stairs.  I suppose that is to my advantage at the moment. 

I’ve got all of my morning tasks and other work out of the way.  My day is wide open until 4:30p and then that is when it pickup.  I hope to be done by 5:30p but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was 6p.  The good news is that when I am done I can shut everything off and walk away.  I don’t have to go back until Wednesday and then I will be on-call, which will suck but hey it’s only 3 days. 

I am probably going to head up in a bit to just lounge.  I know that will anger the gods and work will rain down or maybe not.  It’s a risk I am willing to take.  The cats will be beyond pleased with my decision. 

I have walked about a mile on the treadmill this morning using the incline in the all uphill position and then slowly working my way back to ground level.  That got the blood pumping but my leg is still bothering me a little bit.  I didn’t leak a drop of sweat but boy I was a little winded.  I’m out of shape and I know it.  Pass the pie, cake, candy, pasta and chips please. 

I might be depressed and unhappy but I am not keeping myself from eating good food.  Like I told my doctor.  I’ve got two loves in this world that’s men and food.  If I can’t have one I am damn sure going to have the other. 

Speaking of men, I am slowly starting to run out of guys to choose from on the app.  I’ve got nothing back thus far.  I have expressed interest in guys young and even a bit older but thus far it’s all crickets.  I even found a local famous person that I had no idea was gay.  The app did show me a straight man last night.  Maybe he wants to experiment but I say no to straight guys just because I think it’s the app made a mistake.  I mean I suppose I will never know but better safe than sorry. 

No real plans for tomorrow or Sunday.  Monday I need to hit up the 2 local places where I might be able to obtain a new hose/washer for the water softener.  I hope that pays off and I don’t have to call a plumber.  That would be a great win for me.  Of course right now I hope the severe weather for today doesn’t affect my home or my need will be greater than a stupid hose or washer.  I’ve got my eyes & ears open and the scanner is on.  Glad I’ve got 2 of them 1 for the desk and the other portable.  I recently found a Uniden model on Amazon that goes for $600 but it’s wicked smart and way more modern.  It along with a writing instrument I want that is going for close to $500 and I could easily afford to order both and it wouldn’t impact me in the least.  However, I have become a hoarder of cash and I like to hang on to my money. 

Speaking of money I looked at my 401k and man I got a nice surprise there.  It’s worth more now than it ever has been.  Not exactly sure what happened but I hope the bottom doesn’t fall out.  If things continue to grow there is hope that I could maybe partially retire someday.  I mean after working for years I think everyone should be able to retire and enjoy life but it just doesn’t work that way. 

One thing is for sure time stops for no one and the weekend is ticking closer and closer with every second on the clock.  I also know that my 4 days will be over in a flash but I am going to try to savor them as best as I can.  Get in some time with the cats as well as do things that I want to do.  Thinking of hitting up a new restaurant.  It’s a cousin restaurant to the place I was at a few weeks back.  They have Lasagna and I can only imagine it’s phenomenal.  Time will tell it also appears to be a little bit closer to home but still a little bit of a jaunt.  I’m okay with that as long as it’s nice weather. 

I hope that you have a relaxing and fulfilling weekend.  Take care and I will talk with you all again soon.  Be well.
