Rudy woke me up gently and early this morning. We got in some cuddle time before my brain told me that my bladder was about to give out. That was the best part of my day. He’s such a lover and he just savored every touch and stroke. You can see the appreciation on his face. His sister is similar but she isn’t nearly as gentle and generally he is the alarm clock not her. However, she has jumped on my chest once and that will get you up regardless, so long as your alive.
I had asked my lawn guy to cut an area he had been skipping that is part of my yard. The longer it would grow the more chances that it would mean trouble for me. I wanted to get this fixed before it turned into an issue. Since I had been away from work I had also been away from my phone. I saw a text message from him and responded yesterday evening. I went to check it out and yeah it looks great. I caught a glimpse of my other neighbor cutting his grass and he was shirtless.
Man the sweat was dripping off of him and he looked so fine. He is a tad bit on the hairy side but he’s in great shape, young and got a nice body. I watched him for a few minutes and then just went back to watching TV. That was the best thing I have seen out of my windows this year thus far. I can only hope that he continues to mow shirtless, it will be the highlight of the summer.
I went back to work this morning, albeit working from home but it’s still working. I got caught up in a rats nest of an issue and I am waiting for someone to get back to me. It was frustrating but I think I’ve got it resolved. I was able to mow through my in box pretty quickly. A good majority of it was nothing but junk and the rest of it I treated as jibber jabber and filed it away. I did check for important information but didn’t see anything.
Then on to setting up accounts and I got the bad news that were going ahead with that horrible project I dreaded. Everything has been approved the only thing left to do is schedule the work. The paperwork won’t be signed for a couple weeks so that is a bit of a reprieve but it’s going to happen it is just a matter of weeks away. My boss told the vendor “we are so excited”. I wanted to write back unless you have a mouse in your pocket your the only one who is excited. It’s a hell of a lot of money and I never thought they would go for it but they did. I dread it but not much I can do about it now.
I was in meetings before I knew it. Just the sound of my bosses voice was like nails on a chalk board and I wanted to scream. He just draws everything out and makes it more than what it should be. That drives me nuts. Just cut to the chase and don’t draw everything out. Then he broke the news that he has time off coming up. That is the best thing he said all morning long. Summer time is one of his big trips. He works from his mom’s place for a week and then takes a week or two off and then comes back to the office. That little project that I dread might not take place for a bit longer but that kind of depends on his comfort level.
I got caught up and tried to take lunch early. I didn’t get away as early as I wanted but no sooner than I was done with the last bite of my sandwich I had one email that required a response. Then another and another. It’s like I was cursed for stepping away. I took my time and sat with the cats for a bit.
They were happy to see me, even if Morea did get sick. I’ve got these foam balls that they love to bat around but they bite them and take pieces out of them. You find bits here and there. Then she loves to comb over the floor after I eat as if there are scraps. She always acts like she found something and she knows it drives me nuts. I just want to know what is going in her mouth and that it’s safe. I checked the water fountain and water consumption appears to be up between the two of them. I don’t know if that is because of the new fountain or if their thirst level is up.
Last night I was watching TV. Morea was passed out in the cat tree. Rudy was passed out in the cat bed next to me. All of a sudden the water fountain made a noise (which is normal) and it started to add water from the reserve tank. Morea gave me an angry look like you woke me up. It shocked all of us but I knew what it was. They however didn’t and were just pissed they got woke up. Rudy went back to sleep but Morea just gave me that death stare. I kept apologizing but told her I didn’t do it. I don’t think she bought it but it was the truth. It adds water when it senses it needs it.
I just got an alert on my phone that Tina Turner passed away at age 83. That’s upsetting but damn 83 is a pretty good life. I really enjoy her music and I know I am not alone.
I had a thought last night after watching the evening news. I said it would be great if just for one day we could make it through an entire 24 hours with no murder, rape or robbery's. Generally no bad news but that is kind of like hoping to hear the news without any political stories. There wouldn’t be a whole lot to talk about if it wasn’t for crime and politics.
Either I am getting used to it or this “unknown odor” seems to be dying down. It bothers my sinuses and I had the thought earlier today that it’s like my house is trying to warn me but I don’t know what it’s warning me about. I’m sure whatever it is probably expensive.
Here’s hoping life gets better sooner rather than later. I’m in some kind of mood and really just want to get away from everything. I think it’s a result of too much of always on and work. I am just burnt to a crisp and time is the only thing that will fix that but were not talking 2 or 3 days. The sooner the weekend gets here the better I think I will be. Then next week it’s back to being on-call and for 2 weeks in a row.
Hope your day is going well and life is treating you well. Talk with you all again soon.
