Good Morning! I was looking at my phone last night and in my text messages I randomly check the junk folder. I was surprised I had a message and turns out it was sent yesterday. Turns out the cable company is working on “improving their infrastructure to provide a better experience” and they are doing maintenance all week long during normal business hours. They said that service might be impacted.
My insomnia kicked in and I was up at 2a. I just wanted to watch a little TV and go back to bed. I got started with something and the internet went belly up and I had to go to regular TV and find something else to capture my interest. 2a is not normal business hours. I was not surprised when I woke up that there is no internet connection.
I am hot spotting it most likely all day long. That sucks but I have 2 carriers that I can switch between. I got Visible last year due to connection issues and the fact I wanted to jump into the dating scene. It’s an unlimited plan for $30 and I have had it ever since. The one guy at Cracker Barrel that I gave my number to never has called or texted. However, I figure eventually I will give that # to some guy who will actually call me. Today I use the line for business so I can tell work from personal calls, not that I get many personal calls. My personal cell line has mad spam protection so unless your in my contacts your going to voice mail. My personal line has a data cap of 4GB and of course as luck would have it today is the 2nd day in my billing cycle. I wanted to switch to suck up a good portion of the data as my allotment as is goes unused since I have unlimited data on Visible. In any case it’s nice to have a backup plan in place otherwise I would have had to throw on clothes and go to the office, being late and not having time to take a shower. So long as the cellular connections don’t fail me I should be okay. If I can’t get connected to either carrier then I am sunk and I think the odds of that are about as great as me winning the lottery. What do you think?
It was a peaceful evening here. I had a Hot Pocket Philly Cheese Steak and it wasn’t the best. That does NOT solve my craving for a Cheese Steak but it will do for the moment. Then I had two cold crunchy beef tacos left over from Sunday at Taco Bell. They weren’t bad. Had some popsicles for desert. I think that at some point Mora & Rudy both had contact with a popsicle because they are both very interested when I eat one. They look at me like when do I get a lick? If they did get a lick it would either be their popsicle or it hit the trash. No way am I eating after either one of them, too much bacteria live in their mouths and I am sure I would catch something unpleasant, especially given the black cloud that seems to follow me through life. It’s funny to watch them but I tell them both no. They are also obsessed with smelling what I am drinking most of the time it’s soda. I have a water bottle that has a finger loop on it and it’s made from some rubber like material. They love to chew on it and I have to police that so they don’t do any damage.
I got to brush both of the furry monsters last night. Morea was being a bit extra for attention. She loves for me to hold her while she lays close to my chest and just relaxes. That is more weight than I can handle for a long time. I don’t exactly workout or go to the gym. My upper body strength is in good shape but I am no weight lifter. I hold her for as long as I can and then I either get her to change positions or she wants down. The 3 of us have our share of fun. The two of them have more fun together without me. I see it after they eat or just before bed. Their energy levels peak and then drop. They get some energy at different times and wind up playing with a ball, they both make noise when they play so it’s easy to tell. Neither of them are loud unless they are fighting. Even their purr motors are soft. Mora’s you can hear just barely. Rudy you have to really listen. I could put my phone up to Gator and record her, people would always comment when I was on the phone what is that noise. I will never have that problem with Mora or Rudy and their purrs don’t sound nearly as good as Gator’s when I have tried to record them. It’s all good though, were all different.
Confession time. I didn’t use the heating pad last night. I used an ice pack while I was watching TV. My back feels way better but I am still very sore. I plan to go at it again tonight targeting a couple different spots. Massage Therapists always say use heat. A sports medicine doctor that I had as my internist always told me to use ice. It’s a pain but you will heal quicker he said. I am always conflicted on which to use but I do like heat more than ice just because it’s a bit more comfortable.
Since today is Tuesday it’s back to meeting time since the Stupidvisor is back. 1st one is just before lunch. 2nd one is after lunch. Last one is a couple hours later with a vendor. I hope they all go really fast and the fuckery is kept to a minimum but I know that probably won’t be the case. Calgon take me away!
Finally, you might be asking who’s that guy at the top. He is none other than teen heartthrob Steve Burton. He is known for his role on General Hospital but I saw him in other things and we grew up together. Meaning that were about the same age. I don’t know him. I have always had a crush on him, but I know he is straight. Still doesn’t stop me from admiring his body.
Here’s hoping it’s a great day and that my internet comes backup soon and they don’t take all week. I know some how that their improvements are going to be reflected in a rate hike in my bill eventually so I am even less impressed. Everything was working fine and I was happy. Ever since we have had this last round of storms the connection has been up and down more than it has in a very long time. Normally it’s solid 24x7, perhaps we will get back to that.
Take care, stay hydrated, cool and be well.
