HR Called

Last night I had finished up for the day and headed upstairs.  I was up about 15 minutes.  Then my phone rang and it was HR.  I answered and turns out they needed a favor.  There was a “confidential” matter going on and they needed to temporarily cut someone’s access.  As you might imagine my heart rate when up when I saw caller id.  I was relieved that the call wasn’t about me or something that I did or failed to do. 

I had to head back downstairs for a bit.  Then up and after a rushed dinner back down.  It took up about 45 minutes of my time but as soon as I was done I sprinted back upstairs to be with the cats. 

I got claw trimming done last night.  Rudy wasn’t happy about it but he tolerated it a lot better than his sister.  She got me on my leg and tried to escape multiple times.  I had to hold her down but managed to get both paws done.  That kind of made them both angry at me but it was short lived.  I passed out treats later in the evening and after that life went back to normal. 

Rudy woke me up during the night and I had problems going back to sleep.  Had to watch a little TV.  Then back to sleep.  The trash trucks woke me up and Rudy was all up in my face.  I played with that for a half hour and then finally got up. 

My knee on the opposite leg that Rudy bit me on has been acting up.  It started long before the bite.  A few months ago I was in the shower and bent down, I heard a pop in that knee and figured that wasn’t anything good.  It hurt like crazy afterwards but a few days later and everything went back to normal.  It’s kind of warm now and that is a little concerning. 

The foot that Rudy bit me on is doing okay.  I stopped putting ointment on it yesterday.  The itching has subsided and it is looking better.  I am still watching it because you never know. 

Ah this body I am ready to trade it in for a new one and a way better looking one at that.  A much newer model would be nice.  Shame that can’t happen. 

Rain was in the forecast for tomorrow but it’s been pushed to Sunday.  I am still on the fence on what exactly I am doing tomorrow.  I will probably fly by the seat of my pants and a lot of that depends on my mood, energy levels and overall how I feel in general. 

One thing I know for sure is that when I stop for the day today I want to sever my ties with work for 2 full days.  I don’t want to be called back, called because there is an emergency or bothered in any fashion.  I need a full 2 day break. 

As it stands now I’ve got nothing going until later this afternoon and that task is pretty quick.  I am kind of on standby to see what comes in.  Right now it’s pretty calm kind of like yesterday.  I like days like this but just hope that it’s not the calm before the storm. 

My lazy co-worker seems to be working now and I don’t think I will need to jump in and help with the project.  He provided a substantial update about his portion of the work late in the afternoon yesterday, so that’s a good thing. 

Here’s hoping it’s a decent weekend for all of us.  Relax, enjoy because Monday will be knocking again way too soon.  Happy Friday!  Be safe and take care.
