Good Day I hope all is going well for you. It’s sort of my Friday today. I work a normal day, cover on-call and then when I go to sleep I am off. I pick back up on Friday at 5p but until then I am off. I get to see the doctor and get my car worked on, how exciting! I am supposed to have lunch with a friend as well and I do look forward to that.
Yesterday afternoon and again this morning it’s been nothing but mop up duty. Fixing other peoples mistakes. I love helping people but I hate cleaning up after others, hell I don’t like to clean up after myself but I do it.
I saw the strangest bug this morning in my room. It looked like a spec of dirt, but then I noticed it was moving. Before the cats figured it out, I grabbed a tissue and picked it up. Never seen anything like it and hope that it’s one of a kind. I’ll mention it when the pest guy is here in a couple weeks. I have no idea what it was. Looked like the size of a grain of rice but it was black, no wings or feet, it crawled. Kind of surprised that one of the cats didn’t see it but since it was super small it was just by chance I came across it.
Another night where my insomnia kicked in and I was up for an hour. Morea wasn’t happy about it because the TV was in her eyes but she managed to adjust. She never moved an inch and waited for me to return to the bed. Then she crawled up by my head and slept with me for a little bit. When she left she managed to wake me, no big deal. She isn’t exactly light on her feet. Reminds me of my big boy. She has no trouble moving around and is pretty quick despite being a bit on the large side. She has really taken to me and craves attention as well as belly rubs.
Had some Beef & Bean mini burritos from the grocery store. I added some extra cheese and tried some taco sauce to spice them up a little bit. They are so good and they have been making them since last month, I pray they don’t stop. I would love some Mexican Lasagna but they stopped making that a long time ago. It would be awesome if they revived it. I like quick grab n go options it beats a TV dinner. Might cost a little bit more but I am okay with that.
Speaking of costing more last month was a pretty expensive month. My last credit card just closed and it was about $200 higher than I am used to. Just paid it off this morning, I wasn’t always able to do that but damn it feels good to get back to zero.
Outside of that it’s kind of boring here. I am just watching the time pass and eager to switch off work email on my phone, if only for a short time. I am not eager for my next on-call week but at least it will be 3 weeks away at the end of the month. Were back to a normal schedule and even every 3 weeks is a bit much. No one looks forward to it but we all do it. I miss the days of extra pay for being on-call. I got $100 extra for the week for the inconvenience and then I got to bill in 15 minute increments for my time and there were times when I was able to rake in the cash and other times when it was just an extra $100. That is one of the downsides to not being en hourly employee any longer.
I am going to take a break, a bit of an extended lunch hour if circumstances allow. Hopefully, they will. I need to rest up and keep my blood pressure at a normal level. Hoping that the day passes quickly without too much BS to deal with.
I know the cats won’t permit me to sleep in but it will be fun not having to rush around tomorrow morning and be able to take my time. I do have a deadline as to when I need to leave. I hate the commute to and from the doctors office but it allow time to think and I get to see some of my old stomping grounds. I used to work out by where my doctor is. Lots of memories, spent 5 years out that way. Yep, traveling it 5 days per week around 45 miles one way. That racks up the miles on your car pretty fast. So glad I don’t have to do that now. I like watching the traffic on TV and not being in it, that is much more enjoyable.
I hope you have a great rest of the day. Until we meet again, may the odds be forever in your favor. Take care!
