Bad timing

Good Morning and happy hump day!

The internet connection remains solid, which is kind of a surprise.  I don’t fully trust it so I am using carrier service from my cell phone.  I need to be sure I don’t miss an email since I am on-call this week.  We all know my luck isn’t the best and I can easily see where something would happen and I would be needed but because I didn’t get the email or there was a delay in getting the email I failed to respond.  I want to avoid that at all costs. 

Last night was a decent time with Mora & Rudy.  We watched TV via Roku.  If I didn’t have that device right now I don’t know what I would do, regular TV is so boring.  I do hope the Actors & Writers strikes are resolved quickly but thus far that doesn’t seem to be the case.  In any event both cats seemed to be looking for something more as I was flossing my teeth.  They were a bit chatty and I kind of figured they wanted cat nip. 

I cracked open the jar after I was done flossing and they both were really talkative then and right at my feet.  Rudy was across the room and he came running.  They were decent about me giving them each some, normally they fight after I put down the first bit.  One finger pinch is the amount I give to each.  They eat it up like it’s candy.  Then they double check the area to make sure they didn’t miss anything on accident.  No question about it the floor is always clean after they are done. 

I got comfy in my chair.  They leave me alone for a little bit I guess they think I need a break.  I use that time to my advantage.  I was watching something, both of them joined me and then the sleeping medicine I took was kicking in.  I was ready to get up and call it a night.  It was around 9:30p and that is a little early for me.  Then the damn phone rings.  It took me a minute to process what it was.  I had to kick poor Rudy out of my lap to get up and answer it.  It was a work call and I needed to take care of something.  I hated the timing but at least I wasn’t doing anything other than falling asleep, still not a happy camper.  However, wide awake now. 

I had to fetch my laptop from the living room, fire it up and get logged in.  I took care of everything and powered the machine off.  I kept my phone and laptop near me and Rudy joined me again.  We all got comfy and then I let the medicine do it’s thing.  It wasn’t terribly long before I was putting the phone back on the charger, the laptop away and Rudy was on the floor.  I climbed into bed.  Giving a quick pet to Mora.  I got comfy and then Rudy got on top of me and got comfy.  I turned the TV off and we were all off to dreamland. 

I woke up around 2a and I was all alone.  Not uncommon.  Got up to use the restroom and then I got company.  Rudy was quick to join me and try to help me get back to sleep, there was no issue.  He wanted food and he begs me quite often.  I don’t give in unless it is close to a meal time.  Mora does a little begging but it’s so infrequent I think she might have asked for food 3 times since she has been here.  Rudy on the other hand is constantly at my side looking, asking and watching.  If there is someone at my feet it’s him, he always seems to be in the way just because he’s curious and eager.  They are both the same age but Rudy acts more like he is 2 years old and Mora acts more like she is 10 years old.  Play time they are equal but I am speaking of overall average.  In fact I used to get an escort to the basement in the morning.  They stopped that 2 days ago.  Not sure if it will come back but I kind of miss it. 

This morning when I woke up for good and gave into Rudy’s asking.  Mora was no where to be found.  I kept calling and looking.  I know she was in the house before I went to bed and it’s not like she could break out.  I started eating and so did Rudy.  I kept calling for her.  Nothing.  I got up to go look and there she was in Gator’s old bed.  I gave her a pet and told her come get something to eat.  She got up and came over.  Not liking the food at first and walking away, then she turned around and changed her mind.  They both love to hide on me and it’s in plain sight which really angers me that I can’t see them quickly.  This is a thing all cats love to do.  Sometimes I’d find one of Momma’s family under a couch but for the most part on average they were out and right in front of me, I just didn’t notice them.  Like the time I searched the house high and low for Big Bear.  Turns out his black fur and the dark blue large bed I bought him acted as camouflage and it wasn’t until I broke out a flashlight that I saw him.  I never liked hide and go seek.  Hiding I would always bust up laughing so no one would want to hide with me. 

On to what content took up most of my time.  I found a Charlie Puth concert that was on YouTube and it was recent.  See why I am glad I didn’t purchase tickets and go sit in the heat with all of the people.  The show was from Dallas and that was a while ago but hey it’s okay.  I found another one in Mexico and the set list appeared to be the same.  He did an okay job.  I think his early years his performances were much better.  He’s a little cocky and a bit too confident now, whereas in earlier shows he came off more natural.  This show I saw he was teasing the crowd like he was going to take off his shirt.  He didn’t but there were like 3 changes of clothes in his concert.  First he came out in some jacket and it looked like it was Winter.  Then it was more to Spring with 2 shirts on and by the end he was in just a T-shirt.  I suppose the heat builds rather quickly under the hot spot lights and I don’t know how those people take it.  I would pass out just because I am intolerant to excess heat, it makes me physically sick.  Anyway I had a good time and enjoyed seeing Charlie even if it was on TV and had commercial breaks.  I still think the world of him, he is quite talented and as he ages he just becomes more an more sexually appealing.  I wasn’t sexually attracted to him when I first discovered him but that has developed over time.  I know he’s straight and the chances of me coming face to face with him to be close enough to shake his hand are minimal at best.  Ah well one can dream.  I know I am not the only gay guy who wants him and he seems to know that he is attractive.  Here’s hoping for more good music from him. 

My least favorite subject, work.  I have gone as far as I can with morning tasks.  I am waiting for something to come in or for my only meeting at 11a.  I hope the day is quiet it’s been a bit busy the last couple days.  I could use a bit of rest if I can get it.  Thursday & Friday are meeting free days and usually more laid back days.  I hope that stays true. 

Well have a good day.  I am off to scour the web for news and smut.  Then when I get bored I will go back upstairs and probably take a nap or try to and then my phone will bug me and I will be right back here working away.  What a vicious cycle it is!  Cheers.
