Stuck in the middle

I was able to flee work at a decent hour and made it home just in time for the grass people to be finishing up.  The cats were happy to see me and I them.  I had a task to take care of at 5p and knocked that out.  Had my mini burritos with beans & beef last night for supper they were really good.  I finished off with a Reese's Ice Cream Cone, something new and it’s okay not the best thing in the world. 

Watched more Will & Grace as well as YouTube videos.  When I got home I sat on the couch and waited for 5p to come around, watched an old George Wallace special.  I fell asleep a few times just out of sheer exhaustion.  George is a funny guy and I enjoy listening to him. 

It was a relaxing evening and bed time came around pretty fast.  I got to brush Morea again.  Both her and her brothers nails need to be trimmed.  Morea’s are super long and the slightest movement of her paw got her stuck in my shirt.  She hates me touching her nails but it’s got to be done.  She really puts up the fight.  Rudy however tolerates it a bit better but does some protesting. 

My cat bite looks okay but it still itches.  I am ready to stop with the ointment because it’s kind of a hassle.  For now I am continuing but depending on how things look I might stop in the next couple days. 

This morning my co-worker is out again sick.  He normally messages everyone but this time I just found his out of office turned on.  There is a mess waiting to blow up that he left and I am just sitting by waiting for the explosion. 

There is a lot going on right now at work in general.  I said it’s busy season and I meant it.  Summer time usually is.  Things will level out here in a few weeks but it’s only a temporary pause and it’s something to be enjoyed.  Then the next wave starts up.  Kind of like sitting by the ocean.

Speaking of which I deleted the dating app I was on.  I started to get more women and straight men showing up and I’m not interested in either.  That’s not to say I am not attracted to straight guys because hell we don’t exactly wear our sexuality on our sleeves.  I just don’t want drama or to experience injury.  I’m looking for Mr. Right and apparently that search is going to be quite lengthy despite my patience not being that lengthy.  I heard the other day something that has come up in the past.  You are trying too hard, relax and let love come to you.  It will find you.  Well I think it needs some GPS and a rocket booster because it’s been 10 very long years.  I am not getting younger, more limber or more attractive as the days roll on.  A good part of me thinks that I will be single for the rest of my life.  It’s all good until you get sick, depressed or need someone to help with a project.  Otherwise the single life is perfectly fine.  It’s lonely as hell but conversely there is a lot of freedom.  Good & Bad with everything. 

My day over all today is wide open.  We have a meeting later this morning which since my co-worker is out I expect to get moved but it may not.  Just waiting for things to go bump, bang or crash and if they don’t well then I will be free and that is okay by me. 

My back is bothering me a lot to the point where I am really seriously considering taking a muscle relaxer if I can make it through Friday.  The maximum price that it will cost me is that I waste my Saturday but then again if I take it early enough in the evening on Friday it might wear off in time to salvage some of Saturday.  I always plan for worse case scenario because I don’t always know how my body will react.  The idea of just being in a coma sleeping away sounds like utter bliss right now though. 

We made it to the half way point, so were stuck in the middle.  I don’t want to use any sick time unless I have to.  So here’s hoping the next two days go by quickly and smoothly.  Talk with you all again soon.  Hope you have a great day and be well!
