No Sleep 4 U

Rudy is such a smart boy.  I took a break this morning, had my oranges and let the cats bask in the breeze that was coming through the back door.  That keeps them occupied for a while until I close the door. 

We moved to the couch and I sifted through some YouTube as they relaxed.  Eventually I got sleepy and opted to move to the bedroom.

Of course the cats followed me.  Rudy was first in and Morea joined us a bit later.  He climbed up on my chest and made some biscuits and then settled down.  It was short lived because I had to move to accommodate his sister.  He jumped up on my side and started the same thing.  Then he opted to brush up against my lamp shade and decided that it was something to chew on.  I stopped him and he wasn’t happy because I took away his toy.  He kept going back and I kept stopping him. 

We settled down for a couple minutes and of course the phone started going off.  Nothing to deal with so I could lay in bed.  It just felt so good to stretch out, if only for a brief minute before I was joined by cats.  I did nod off but it was super quick. 

Rudy knew I shouldn’t be sleeping so he started bathing my forehead and then washing some of my hair.  He tried to get into my face and I stopped him there.  He does a good job of irritating my skin it feels good for the most part but there are occasions when it starts to burn, kind of depends on what bacteria is alive in his mouth. 

He also wanted something to eat so it was a little after lunch time I got up and passed out some food.  I didn’t have a great lunch but it was okay.  They both ate and napped.  About the time they are comfy and all is super quiet is when I opt to head back down.  If I sit there terribly long just watching them it’s like taking a drug and I will be out.  They are so cute and so relaxed.  Morea snores and Rudy makes some noises.  They both love to stick their tongues out and I don’t see how they keep from biting it. 

Thus far all is well.  I plan to break out the brush tonight and see what kind of fur I can get off of both of them.  Most of their fur seems to be on my clothes and my bed.  I think they are pretty well sold on this place as home and they seem to like me, which is a good thing I suppose. 

Not much going on at work which is a good thing.  All hell will break loose soon enough but right now I am enjoying the calm.  I am going to check to make sure all is well after I publish this and then head up for the day.  No sense in sitting here doing nothing I can easily do that upstairs with the cats.  Plus it’s trash day so I need to get that out. 

My boss called and told me that we would have our reviews next week.  We were supposed to meet for a check up but I told him I had nothing.  So were gonna talk next week, oh joy.  Part of me wishes that I could let loose all of the pent up anger and frustration – letting it all out I know would for sure make me feel better.  However, I for sure would radically change his high opinion of me and I’d probably be in the market for a new job.  Hence why I keep my mouth shut and bottle most everything up.  I used to have a sounding board in my co-worker before he made me mad and we have went from talking multiple times per day to hardly talking at all.  That doesn’t do well for me but it’s probably better this way. 

Here’s hoping that I find something enjoyable to watch on TV and it’s a nice evening.  I hate the fact that we have one more day but it will be over with before I know it.  Most people are taking the day off or working a 1/2 day.  We’ve got 1 person out on vacation.  The boss is working a 1/2 day tomorrow and then won’t come back until Wednesday, which hopefully means less meetings and BS to deal with.  I think after that he is going on vacation. 

I hope that you have an enjoyable evening and that today hasn’t been all that bad for you.  Weekend is around the corner, which usually perks everyone up.  Talk with you all again soon.
