I hope you had a Happy Hopping Easter! Unfortunately the weekend was gone and it’s back to the regular grind.
Saturday … I was up early thanks to Rudy and it was needed. I got them fed, hopped into the shower and then after getting dressed I went to breakfast. It felt like Winter outside but it would warm up a tad to the 60’s. I got my grocery shopping out of the way and came back home to put everything away. Then I opted to drive out to see a friend. I would up spending way more time there than I originally planned but it was a good time, I was able to help with some furniture that was delivered and chat. I didn’t leave until close to 2p I believe. I came home, took a nap and then went out for a bite to eat. That was Saturday pretty well in a nut shell.
I did place an Amazon order for an expensive chair cushion from Cushion Labs. It’s designed to relieve pressure points and make it comfortable to sit for hours. It arrived first thing on Sunday morning.
Sunday .. I unpacked the cushion and put it in my room and sat in my chair. It was really nice. I eventually returned to bed to sleep a little bit more and Rudy discovered the cushion. He was all comfy and fell asleep. You could just see on his face that he was super comfy and happy. That was enjoyable to look at. The cushion was meant for the office but I thought if it works well I could carry it around but I could see that I might forget it and it would make much more sense to order a second one. Even given the price. I’ve not yet done that but I am putting it through it’s paces and if it works as well as I think it will then I will get another one for upstairs.
I just relaxed and had a good time with the cats, eating some food and napping until it was time to leave for Easter Dinner. I was hoping the Amazon person would deliver the Water Softener Hoses early in the day so I could knock that project out but sadly they arrived while I was at dinner.
It was an Italian Easter. I didn’t have any ham but got some to take home. Had some pasta, sweet potatoes, chicken parm, spaghetti, bread and chocolate. It was a good time with the usual group of friends.
I got home way later than I wanted to but that always seems to happen. I took care of the cats, put out my meds and got ready for bed.
Monday … Rudy made sure I was up and he was early about it but that was okay. I had some strange dreams. However, I managed to go back to sleep. He sure is something. Morea has decided to start out sleeping on the bed and then move to the pillow on the cedar chest. It makes for more room and much more comfortable sleeping for me. Of course when I am not in the bed I don’t care who is on top of it, just make way when I decide to enter.
Got breakfast and started the day at work. Had to hike backup stairs to use the bathroom. Things seemed to settle or should I stay stayed calm for a while. I opted to work on the Water Softener. I’m so glad that I ordered 2 hoses because the first one went in fine and then the 2nd one started leaking. I replaced them both and we have a recharge cycle running now. I think there was a part stuck so a tiny bit of water got in the tank. If that doesn’t leave on it’s own I will vacuum it out and then plan to recharge one more time without salt. Then I will grab the salt and recharge for the last time and then that damn job which has taken up way too much time, cost way too much money will be finally done. I stuck to my guns and managed to complete it on my own but that overwhelming sense of satisfaction well it’s not there quite yet. My back hurts and honestly I’m glad it’s over with.
Things got really crazy at work for a while and I was wondering if it would ever calm down. Thankfully it had. At the end of this week I will be out of the circulation supplements so I need to place another Amazon order for more. They seem to be helping but my feet still turn a slight shade of purple but based on what I feel and see I do think things are better. Hopefully it’s not me in denial. I’ve really watched a lot of videos on PAD and it’s not something that I want nor should anyone. If one has it getting it diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible the the only hope you have for saving your limbs (be it legs or arms). I think a good massage for me would be beneficial but who has the time.
I had thought about making tomorrow my day in the office but the more I think about it Wednesday seems to make a bit more sense so right now I am planning on going in on Wednesday unless I talk myself out of it. Unless something comes up I plan to work all wonderful 5 days of this week but I would just as soon be on vacation.
I’ve been toying with my police scanner and have attempted some reprogramming but I manage to always fall back to my original configuration. I bought some new software and purchased a subscription to an on-line data base. Typically with frequencies once they are assigned unless there is an upgrade to the radio system most frequencies stay the same. I’ve got my eye on a new scanner but I really don’t need it. However, it I think would help me better organize what I listen to. The scanner is on from the time I start my work day until I stop. It keeps me company. I get to hear what is going on in the neighborhood. I managed to accidentally get the local power company so I hear about all of the gas leaks, down power lines and power outages as well as the regular maintenance that is done. I also have a High School programmed in and get to hear about all of the school fights and other issues that go on. I would just as soon get rid of the power company and school but in trying to do so and add some additional organization and logic I wound up picking up a bunch of other channels.
Between the water softener and the scanner, I am learning the lesson the hard way that if it’s working don’t mess with it. Touching it can be costly both in time and money.
Back to my boring life and time to go eat some oranges and spend a little time with the cats. There isn’t much on my schedule for today 1 meeting at 2p today and then someone leaving a bit later this afternoon. Unless something else comes up I will be done. It’s so nice NOT being on-call. I’m glad that is done but after 2 short weeks go by I will be back at it again.
Friday I did some work on my resume but I still haven’t managed to fix the table issue that I am dealing with. I am eager to have a finished product so that when I start looking a bit more regularly if I find something that is of interest I will have a resume to be able to submit. I mean chances are that unless I find something really good I will probably stay where I am at. I’m comfortable and sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. However, it doesn’t hurt to look.
I hope the past few days have been good for you and that you are doing well. Were getting warmer weather this week so the AC I am sure will be turned on eventually again this week. My house holds the humidity a bit too well for me. Take care, stay hydrated and well. I will talk with you again soon.
