Morning … Happy Tuesday! Since I am supposed to have a package coming today I opted to stay home and go in to the office tomorrow. I told Rudy last night biscuits at 7a, I am staying home. Well I think the universe wanted me to go in. Either that or the cats are just used to my usual Tuesday routine. Rudy woke me up at 6a. He was sitting on me. Morea was resting by my head. I had to get up to use the bathroom. Rudy of course thought breakfast was around the corner but I came back to bed. He didn’t give up and kept trying to get me to get up and feed him. He was patient about it. Morea started bathing me but then she took up her position by my feet. I just wanted to rest the last hour I had left before I HAD to get up.
When Morea moved, I rolled over and Rudy jumped back up on my side. He apparently knows a thing or two about pressure points. He hit me in just the right spot where it was tender but I just ignored him and closed my eyes. Eventually he moved a bit but stayed on top of me. I had like a 1/2 hour left by this point. I closed my eyes and the next thing I knew the alarm was going off.
Okay so now Rudy gets his food. Morea goes to the window and when Rudy is done, they switch places. Morea eats then Rudy comes back for left overs. He sniffs, decides he doesn’t like it and tries to cover it up, then turns around and nibbles. This happens at most every meal and it’s kind of funny but it seems to be something all cats do because Momma’s Family did it as well.
I had my breakfast and then it was time to get my medicine and get dressed. Rudy jumped into my bed so that I can’t make it. I got dressed and Morea was waiting for her cuddle time. I grabbed my phone, sat down in my chair and Morea jumps into my lap. I give her attention while catching up on what is on the phone in terms of mail and notifications. Then I look back at photos I took on this day, usually seeing one of my late cats and then it’s time to focus all on Morea. Before I know it I have to evict her from my lap and put on my socks. Then stumble back to the kitchen. Open the back blinds so the kids can look out. It’s a nice sunshine day, very cool for this time of year but in a few hours all of that will change.
Then I make the trip with my water bottle and phone to the basement. Rudy and Morea just look at me with very sad faces as I disappear. They sit in anticipation for me to open the door. They are very patient but to occupy time they will play and run around. It’s an interesting little routine.
I still think perhaps I should have gone in. I saw the traffic report and the way I would travel is all backed up, so I am more thankful that I am at home. Honestly, I don’t have to go in this week at all but I do plan to try to make it in tomorrow. I know it will be a waste of gas & time, I will be bored to tears but the best part of the day is leaving when I want.
The phone went nuts last night and I was glad I wasn’t on-call but I still looked at what was coming in. I wish that I could toggle work mail off and on with a flip of a switch. I can but it’s buried and I honestly don’t feel like digging unless of course I have time off. Speaking of which my next time off request for August/September was just approved this morning. I am looking forward to taking a week or possibly two off but have yet to schedule anything. It’s on my to-do list that I never seem to get wiped clean. However, this is something I have to do because we can only carry over 2 weeks of vacation per year.
Big announcement yesterday, we have a meeting to attend virtually next week with management. It’s supposed to be just a regular quarterly update but they said not to miss it, there are plenty of topics that will be discussed. I suspect every time we have one of these meetings they are going to pull the rug out from under us and require a return to the office. I don’t know for sure that it will happen but it’s always top of mind when they want everyone to gather round. Only time will tell.
I had a couple of quick things to take care of this morning but those tasks have been done for a bit now. I am already bored sitting at home, imagine how much worse it would be to be in the office with nothing to do. At least at home I have freedom to browse the internet, go back upstairs and even go back to bed if I want.
Here’s hoping that it won’t be a crazy day, but that I won’t be bored out of my mind. I’ve got 2 meetings one in the morning and then another after lunch. Outside of that my day is wide open. Nothing good yet on the internet but I keep a watchful eye.
I hope all is well in your world and that you enjoyed a glimpse into my world. Until we talk again, take care & be well.
