Dream a Little Dream

Morning, how are you doing today?  I was really wiped out last night, I lasted about 30 minutes once I went through my shutdown routine.  I went to bed early and I knew that it would cause issues but I was too tired to keep doing head flops and being jolted awake when I never even knew I fell asleep. 

I had an evening of bad dreams.  From what little I remember I got pick pocketed, some credit cards were taken but my wallet was put back in place.  I helped a woman who was sick until her family intervened.  She needed an ambulance but her family didn’t want to call one.  There were other events that took place all unpleasant but I don’t remember the specifics.  Add in waking up several times, each time Rudy thinking it was time for breakfast and there you have my night of sleep.  It was semi-enjoyable. 

I saw a few additional co-workers yesterday and socialized with them for a bit.  We have a big meeting today and everyone seems to think were headed back to the office 5 days a week, at least that is the concern.  I’m glad I am not alone in thinking that.  It’s only because we were told not to miss it because there would be a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.  Well short of merging or getting acquired I can’t think of any other BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS unless someone is either getting a major promotion or stepping down.  I think we will all find out together at lunch time.  I do hope that were not going back to 5 days in the office.  I am eager to find out but also not eager to find out. 

I was able to leave early and made it home in 30 minutes which is record time.  There was traffic but it wasn’t that bad even though I got behind a few slow pokes.  Still getting great gas mileage and loving it.  When I pulled into my home garage I got a note from the pest guy, he will be here tomorrow.  That means I get to de-gay the house a task that I don’t enjoy.  I could leave everything as is and I am sure it wouldn’t bother him but I just don’t want to risk making anyone uncomfortable.  I think it’s a bit much to walk into someone’s home and see a naked person on a calendar. 

Well today would be Gator’s 19th Birthday.  The same for her siblings and I miss all of them.  I am just giving some extra loving to Morea & Rudy.  I really was looking forward to celebrating this birthday with her because I figured it would be her last one but little did I know what the future had in store.  Just a reminder that we never really know what is around the corner for each of us. 

In other more pleasant news it’s the first day of summer.  We get 1 second more of daylight.  As today is the longest day of the year so they said on the news. 

3 meetings today, 2 at 11 & 11:30 and the other one about an hour after.  That will pretty well wrap the day but I am on standby as usual for whatever comes in.  Hard to believe that I will be on-call next week.  That will suck.  It feels like I just finished after 2 back to back weeks.  I am holding the fact that I have vacation time in my hip pocket.  Looking forward to taking time 1 week minimum but might extend it to 2 weeks or break that up and make it 2 1 week periods.  Nothing on the books yet. 

Here’s hoping for all good news today and that it will be time to go back to bed sooner rather than later.  I do love my sleep.  Perhaps I will luck out and have a good dream to boot.  Take care and be well, stay cool!
