Friday’s here

Happy Friday!  I hope you have a great weekend. 

My upper back is all in knots and it’s bothering me.  I used my TENS machine last night but it didn’t really do much.  The only thing that really works is a massage.  A muscle relaxer would help but that wipes me out for a day easily.  Considering that I want to be productive it’s not an option. 

The other thing that I could try is a heating pad but the house is warm already and it’s only going to get worse.  I have an aversion to heat.  I don’t want to turn on the AC unless it’s necessary.  That time of year will be here before you know it.  Next best thing is a shower and that’s a possibility as well. 

I woke up at 4a most likely do to concerns over work.  Anytime something bothers me I have problems sleeping.  I’ve got that meeting with a vendor and my boss later this afternoon.  Not looking forward to that either.  I’m hoping for no progress to be made because I am not eager to devote 3 full days of going into the office and getting up at the crack of dawn.  That combined with the cluster this is going to create isn’t something I look forward to. 

However, as for busy season I have things well under control and my part for that project is about wrapped up.  Monday will be when I will be able to call my part officially complete.  My counterpart has yet to start his part of the project and I do think he will wait until the bitter end or close to it.  I just don’t want to have to jump in and help him.  I took more of the project on purpose to help lighten the load and I am almost done.  If I can get this far then he should be in tow right behind me, but that’s just my opinion.  I will have to see how it all plays out. 

What would have been really ideal is for me to quit and leave the whole project for him.  He’d have a heart attack and say there is no way he could do it all by himself.  Yeah well I’ve done it all by myself in years past and it’s a lot to swallow but it can be done.  The thing is not to freak out just take one step at a time. 

Nothing else major going on right now.  Cats are doing okay, keeping themselves entertained and also clamoring for my attention.  They have already had their look out the backdoor and they both thought they were going to catch a Cardinal but no such luck the screen that is in the way stopped them but boy they did get pretty excited.  When I open the door if you watch them closely they are both shaking a little bit.  I think it’s too much excitement but they ask me to open the door and there is no harm so long as I am watching them.  If I left them alone and they wanted out between the two of them I think they could storm the screen and get out, otherwise for sure claw their way out. 

Thinking of sleeping in tomorrow morning, eating breakfast at home and then going to get my sign and the mail.  I’m eager to see the sign and get it hung back up.  Sleeping in sounds best of all but I don’t know between my body and the cats if that will be permissible but I will be trying for it.  Other than that I don’t have any real plans.  Rain is supposed to be moving in so that will suck but it might be some good sleeping weather even if it is going to be warm. 

That’s all I have at the moment.  I am going to head up to grab lunch, pass something out for the cats and relax before I have to come back to work.  It’s a fairly calm day thus far and I hope that it stays that way.  I’ve got a person leaving later this afternoon and I hope they don’t as for a time extension I want to shut her down and get on with my weekend. 

Have a good one and we will talk again soon.  Be well.
