I watched Poisoned a documentary on Netflix about Food Poison. Man I didn’t want to eat anything after I watched that but oddly enough I went out to dinner, had some Chicken & a Sweet Potato. I never knew the danger that was in Cantaloupe. I’ll also start ordering hamburgers cooked to 155 degrees instead of Medium Well.
Then I watched another series with Matthew Broderick called Painkiller. This was quite an eye opener into the Oxycontin opioid epidemic. This one just sucked me right in and while I did pause a bit between each episode I watched the last 3 back to back. I was eager to see how it ended. Lots of money was made here but lots of life's were changed forever and not for the better. Sad story.
Had some pizza yesterday and did some guy watching. Had an omelet for breakfast and it was made so large that I was only able to eat 1/2 of it. The other 1/2 is in the fridge I had to bring it home. Going to probably have it for lunch.
Spend lots of time with Mora and Rudy. Got them more food and cat nip so they seem to be pretty happy at the moment. I can only imagine that they will be even happier when I don’t have to go to work starting on Thursday. I am looking forward to that.
This morning it was tough to get out of bed. I was sleeping so well and honestly if I didn’t have time off scheduled for Thursday I would have called in so that I could sleep in.
I’ve got a ganglion cist in my left wrist. It gave me lots of problems growing up. When it flared up I tried hitting it with the Yellow Pages and the Bible, putting it in a vice and hitting it with a hammer. Yes those were all painful as fuck and they didn’t do any good at all. Thankfully it’s not been an issue for well over 30 years until that is this weekend. It started bothering me on Friday night and has flared through the weekend. It seems to be connected to the large knot in my left scapular area. The cist isn’t inflamed like it was back when I was a kid, that thing was raised up and at times hard as a rock. It’s in a very tricky spot and I can see all sorts of veins run around it. I looked for the hell of it on Google and looks like if I did have surgery I would be out of commission on average for 2 to 6 weeks. It would be an outpatient procedure but I would almost bet you that I would need a hand surgeon. The preferred method is leave it alone. Right now I am hopeful that between my massager that I have digging into the knot will help keep things at bay. I get my massage next Tuesday and I am eager for that. I see the doc this week on Thursday so I will bring it up then as a precaution. I honestly just want the pain to go away and I prefer to do that the least invasive way. Problem is that I use my Left hand way more than I think I would. I am right handed but I’ve paid extra attention over the weekend and outside of typing I use it for holding things including the steering wheel.
Speaking of steering wheel I really would like to go in tomorrow but I am going to stay home. I mean it’s a 3 day week for me and considering that I will need to be in the office for 4 days when I go back I think that will even things out.
I’ve found a new joy it makes me feel good that is picking up strangers checks at restaurants. I love telling them the good news and just watching their faces. My largest joy will come on Friday when I am giving someone I know $100 to spend on groceries in the form of a gift card. I know that this person doesn’t make much money, they just had an increase in the number of mouths they have to feed and I know that this is the perfect time for this. I am eager to see the look on their face.
On the dating front no changes. I did see someone I follow on social media that is looking for a guy say something like, Lord I know that your going to show me a man eventually but since I don’t know when that is, could I at least get the tracking number? Yeah that is exactly how I feel a tracking number would be nice. While I could easily pick up the check of a hot guy that I saw I purposely do not do that. If I like them enough I will hit on them and then things will go from there. At the moment I have no prospects just what the dating app shows me. However, my eyes are always open no matter where I am.
Speaking of guys I saw this decent looking guy yesterday at the store. He smelled so fucking good. I wanted to know what he was wearing but our paths never crossed again. Perhaps they will on a future trip. Who doesn’t like to smell good? I wear cologne sometimes but it’s rare now that I am mostly home.
I did reach out to my Thanksgiving friends. They have a birthday party planned for me next Monday but they are more than happy to get together on Saturday my actual birthday. I agreed to go to an upscale Steakhouse that neither one of us has been to in years. I look at the menu after the fact and there isn’t a damn thing there that I want to eat. The only steak I like is Tube Steak. However, I will probably order a small steak unless they have some specials that were not advertised.
I’ve got some Orange Glazed Cod in the fridge I picked up from the store and I am eager to eat that. It is one of there prepared meals. All of this talk of food I think I am going up to eat and get away from this machine. So glad that I am NOT on call. I had someone pull some stunt on Saturday night very late, if I wouldn’t have caught it then I would have had issued on Sunday but thankfully everything played out and I got it taken care of on Saturday.
Today has already been very busy and productive for me. I hope that I can make it 2 more days. They will be 2 long days but hopefully they will be over before I know it. I am eager to turn off my work email on my phone and just disconnect. I do plan to make the most of my time off and am glad that I have something planned for most everyday. Here’s hoping for nothing but the best.
I hope that you are doing well and that your weekend was good. Take care and be well. Talk with you all again soon.
