Welcome back on a Monday. I know I am not terribly excited about today either. The weekend was good. I got cat food, the mail and went for a short drive on Saturday. I was also able to sleep in and lounge around the house. Very nice! Sunday, I got up a little later than normal, only by 30 minutes. I got the cats fed, dressed and out the door. Had breakfast, hit up Target, Grocery Store and filled up the gas tank. Then home to put it all away. I thought for sure I had everything. I made a list but went from memory. Of course I forgot two things. One I wrote down and the other I forgot to write down. I got some laundry and writing done. Cleaned the house, filled up the water fountain for the cats and went out for pizza and saw some hot guys.
It’s a new place that I started going to months back. The host who is also a waiter reminds me of a younger version of Chandler from Corbin Fisher. He’s tall and got some large balls. They get to wear shorts so you can kind of take a sneak peak of things a little better than with jeans. I saw another waiter who was young and cute. I would have loved to have either of them or both of them in my bed. There was a couple with a very new born kid, they were older. Most likely the grandparents of the kid. He was so tiny. Something spoke to me and I wound up paying their bill. I also broke the news to them before I left. That is one of my favorite things to do. I don’t have a ton of money but doing something nice for someone else just gives me a huge thrill. The waiter that was taking care of them said that no one has ever done that before for a table he was taking care of. I imagine not a lot of people pick up a strangers check at a pizza place. It was my first time too. I normally do that at breakfast.
Drove home in one hell of a rain storm. I could see okay but it was slightly difficult. The rain was really coming down. Lots of people had their flashers on. I just kept with our state law and had my lights on along with my wipers. Slow and steady. You would have to be flying to not see the car in front of you. It wasn’t a white out condition but I can see where people would or could panic. I got behind a couple of people driving really slow. I wound up passing them. It took me a little longer to get home but I made it safe and sound.
Rudy managed to claw me a couple times this weekend so I whacked his claws yesterday. The bastard tried to bite me but I let him know that wasn’t going to happen. Mora is just waiting with caution because she knows she is next. They both got to come downstairs with me when I was working on laundry, just once. They were over the moon about that. I like to see their faces light up, it brings me so much joy. They are good cats, just have a lot of energy bursts and honestly I am too tired to play. Mora works me every night for cat nip still. I pass it out like it’s medication. Treats come first and then about an hour later it’s cat nip time.
I managed to nod off while watching porn. However, when I woke up I didn’t want to go to bed. I wound up staying up late and writing in my room, with a lantern on low. The cats weren’t happy but after two hours, I was tired and I went to bed. Slept okay for the most part. Woke up early and got the day started.
I’m trying to arrange a service call with a vendor at work for tomorrow. I called on Friday but still waiting to hear back. I called again this morning and was told yeah, I’ll call the service manager now and she will call you right back. Well that was over 15 minutes ago and I’m not holding my breath. Hopefully they don’t send someone out because they will be turned away unless they are on the visitor list and presently they are not. I also found out that the project my boss wound up forking money out for has finally been scheduled for the day after I return from vacation. Not only that but now instead of a 3 day project they will need the entire week. I know originally they planned to start at 6a but I don’t know the schedule now and am trying to get that spelled out. Looks like I will be going into the office for 4 days straight. Not looking forward to that at all.
I got the recall notice for my car and just scheduled repairs for that while I am on vacation. The letter said the dealer would have the parts on hand. The dealer said they had to order the parts. Just love the misinformation. The repair takes about an hour and I’ll be sitting there waiting for it. I did look on-line and do some number crunching this morning. Looks like a new vehicle is affordable for me and I’d kind of like it as the ultimate birthday present but I am honestly just about out of car payments and really looking forward to that. For now I am resisting but I may give in as we get closer. I haven’t made the physical trip to the dealer to see anything in person but that might happen. Mine still has 59,500 miles on it and counting. It’s 6 years old and very well taken care of. No warranty coverage though. That and adding new features as well as having remote functionality would be my reasons for buying. What I want is smaller than what I have. My engine is broken in and I am just now starting to get good gas mileage. I also really hate to give that up. I’ve had new car fever for years and years, it’s not going anywhere but it will flare up now and then. If I don’t buy this year then next year for sure will be the year I make the move, at least that is the preliminary plan.
Hope that you had a nice weekend and that this week is full of some pleasant moments. If that dumb vendor ever calls me back and we can work out something for tomorrow I plan to go in. I never look forward to that because I have to get up early. The drive in isn’t bad but I loathe the drive home. I hope that it all comes together like I want. As for this other project after vacation I really hope that it falls apart but I don’t for see that happening because we have been waiting for months for parts and they just came in. Plus were holding the other half of the payment until the project is complete and the vendor I am sure wants their money. I am just not excited about this at all. My boss however is dripping with joy and very excited. Please Lord help me through this. Vacation is something I look forward to but returning not so much, especially when there is stress looming and I know about it well in advance.
Take care, talk with you all again soon!
