Rest of the weekend

Morning – Just a recap of how the rest of my weekend went. 

Friday … I was supposed to get a replacement gas shock installed for my hood.  The part didn’t come in but instead of calling & telling me, my friends made me drive out.  They are supposed to call or text when the part shows up, but I am not holding my breath.  With parts and the supply chain it’s all one big gamble.  What is available today isn’t tomorrow.  Then to add insult to injury we didn’t wind up going to lunch.  That was really disappointing.  Especially because it was tough to get motivated to get out of the house.  It was one of those days when I just wanted to be lazy.  I also had breakfast out but asked for 1 less pancake but got charged as if I had 3 instead of the 2.  That wasn’t fair but no point in arguing over it. 

Saturday … Wow this is kind of tough trying to recall the past few days.  I went to Red Lobster for a bite to eat and to grab the mail.  I made it a lupper meal but had it around 3:30p  They weren’t busy and I was able to get right in and get a table.  Biscuits seemed extra good.  Wish I would have had a Pina Colada.  I didn’t really do anything else but veg with the cats.  Morea got sick. 

Sunday … Made it to breakfast, Target, The Grocery Store & The Cat Food Store, time for Hairball food.  They seem to enjoy it.  Then had McDonald’s as a treat for supper.  It wasn’t good for me but boy was it good.  Got the trash taken out, water fountain changed, toothbrushes changed and litter boxes filled with fresh litter.  Spent a lot of time with the cats.  They enjoyed it.

Not super excited about being back at work.  Already managed to point out some mistakes my co-worker has made.  I am caught up, was surprised but this time after being gone for 2 days I only had 88 emails to come back to and a good portion of that was nothing but trash.  I am going to head up in a bit for an orange break and to see the cats.  I’ve seen our Groundhog the past few days (morning, afternoon and evening).  I should call the trap guy back but honestly I don’t want to mess with him, since it seems like he’s more after my money than he is the groundhog. 

We got rain yesterday and I was caught in it during a couple of my ventures out.  It was amazing that I could park in the garage, go out not even 30 minutes later and the humidity was so high the car was bone dry.  There were still puddles on the ground.  It was HOT yesterday. 

Good old Amazon has changed their shipping from UPS to their own carrier for prescriptions.  I’ve got some new medicine and had the doc send it there because it would be cheaper.  Of course they have managed to screw up the delivery.  Some how it wound up in the wrong carriers stream but not until it got close to me.  Now it will be days before I get this.  I was supposed to have it on Saturday.  I was told yesterday afternoon that I should get an email today letting me know when it will arrive.  They did offer to cancel the order but that means I would have had to the doc call it in to a local pharmacy and then shell out more money than if I was just patient and wait.  It’s not life sustaining but it’s something new I wanted to try.  I’d like to get it today but I think it’s probably a safer bet to say that I will have it mid-week.  I need to place another Amazon order but I honestly don’t want to.  I hate shipping mess ups.  UPS is the one carrier that has the best success rate for me, but they aren’t perfect.  It would be nice if they switched back but I know that won’t happen, the long term plan always was to migrate away from UPS for shipping.  Truly sad for me. 

This is a 5 day work week for me.  My boss is working from his childhood home visiting his mom.  That will last for a week.  Then he should be off on vacation for either 1 or 2 weeks.  That will be super great.  This weekend is a 3 day weekend, since next Monday is Juneteenth.  One more holiday next month and were done until September.  Speaking of which I timed my next doctors visit to co-inside with the Labor Day weekend and my Birthday.  I will have a 5 day weekend to look forward to then.  I still have gobs of time to burn so I will need to put in for a week or two.  Part of me wants to get a dumpster and clean this place up.  The other part of me wants to travel.  I also have a great idea of just pissing a week away and lounging around the house. 

I think it’s going to be a long day because it’s kind of quiet.  That’s okay by me, at least I am no longer on-call.  My 2 week journey of hell is done.  Something I never want to repeat.  Here’s hoping it is a great day & week for all of us.  Talk with you all again soon.
