Hello, I hope all is well in your world. Just a quick recap of Friday thru Sunday as my vacation time winds down.
Friday morning I went to Cracker Barrel for Breakfast hoping to see the hot waiter that has been stringing me along. I was more interested in his reaction in seeing me than anything. However, he wasn’t there. I came back home for a brief moment and then dashed off to meet my friend for the transmission work.
Dropped the car and went back to my friends shop. Not much going on there. I always learn something new when I visit so it’s fun and educational. Lunch time rolled around pretty fast and we went to a place that I heard an old co-worker talk about before. It was okay but nothing special. On the way to the place my friend got a text that my vehicle was done. When we were done we picked it up. I got to go home and my friend went back to his shop. The cost was only a couple hundred dollars because it was a drain, fill, run a bit and drain again, then fill one last time. I didn’t need the power flush that my friend got so that’s why this was so much cheaper. My friend told me to swing by next week to settle up with him. I plan to do that next weekend. I don’t know what he is going to charge me but the agreement we had was that I would pay his price with no mark up. Time will tell if that’s true.
I think I had frozen Cheese Ravioli for supper that night and just hung out with the cats. We watched a couple movies, that I had to pay for from Prime. I remember that I got some laughs but don’t exactly remember what I watched because that was a few days ago.
Saturday I slept in a lounged around the house until the afternoon. Then I got a shower, went to check the mail and then headed off for pizza. Wanted to see the other cute waiter I have a crush on. I know he’s straight but still looking is nice. Turns out he wasn’t working. I got a decent pizza but didn’t plan on dropping damn near $50 for that plus a small salad and a soda. I didn’t even claim my birthday desert which would have been free. I wanted to get back home.
Fed the cats. Worked on the freezer to oil a motor. You have to empty it out all of the shelves and then remove a panel. It’s a little bit of work. Then I cleaned the bathroom. Damn that was not a fun job. Both cats wanted to help me and of course when I was done and had cleaner sprayed on the bathtub is when they wanted to play in the tub. I had to keep them out which was fairly easy but they are sneaky. We watched some TV after that and I tried to cool down. All the work and running back and forth to the kitchen and garage made me quite hot.
Sunday woke up early and went back to Cracker Barrel one last time. Turns out the guy wasn’t working then either. Looks to me like he has plenty of spare time now and he could call me but hey my phone has yet to ring. He might call and he might not. I am not going to hold my breath. I remember telling Gator when I first got his number that I might have found someone so that I didn’t have to be alone. I’m sure this plays no part in her getting sick and dying but maybe she was holding on and when I told her that she gave up. I doubt it. I can tell you that I was quite emotional this morning. I was lonely and feeling the not wanting to go back to work thing. It was all a bit much.
Stopped off at Target to pick up a few things. Got $100 worth of stuff for $77. Part of that was due to rewards points and the other part was due to a birthday offer they sent me to save 5%. It was really nice. Then on to the grocery store where I didn’t spend a whole lot of money. I made up for that by stopping off to gas up and man the price of gas has gone up. Then back home to put it all away and relax a bit. Tried to take a nap. Rudy came alive when I got home he was bouncing off the walls and when I tried to nap he wouldn’t leave me a lone.
I figured that it was close to lunch time so feeding him would probably cause him to calm down. Nope that just made things worse. I put out my medicine, starting the new Diabetes medicine tomorrow morning. Sounds like I will be peeing up a storm. Dehydration is one of the big side effects along with about a dozen other things. It’s possible this medicine could make me seriously ill or kill me but at least I know what to watch for. Then my tree guy showed up to provide me an estimate. That’s more money that will leave my pocket. Probably not until next year but I wanted to get on his list.
I came down to get the laundry done. Damn if I didn’t forget to buy Water Softener Salt. That was a grocery store thing but it’s not something I normally get there. It’s a Sam’s Club thing but they didn’t have it. I can order it from Amazon or just wait until next weekend and pick some up. Right now I am going with next weekend. It’s a trip to the home improvement store and I need to get a couple new fluorescent bulbs for the basement. They don’t carry Morton’s Salt but some off brand which is why I prefer to get it at Sam’s but oh well. I know I can make it through the week for sure. Beyond that will be pushing it. I may breakdown and do the Amazon thing.
Speaking of Amazon I got an alert while I was putting out my medicine that someone tried to use my debit card at Amazon but it’s locked so the transaction was declined. I didn’t waste anytime I reported the card as lost so I get a replacement. If someone tried to use it once they will for sure try again. For good measure I changed my password as well. I don’t recall ever using the card except to get cash from an ATM and to make a deposit. Just don’t want to chance it. I’m without a card for up to 7 days but then again it’s not something I use so it’s no big deal.
Caught up on porn surfing. I’m going to have some fun tonight. At least there is something to look forward to besides waking up early. As soon as the dryer kicks off I will be headed back up. I need to finish up on cleaning house, get the laundry put away. Then it will be time to heat up a couple slices of my deep dish pizza. I got Sausage, Pepperoni and Spinach. It was really good yesterday. I will be eating on it for a few more days so eventually I will not want pizza for a while. Thought about going out for supper instead but I’d rather just save the gas.
As it stands right now tomorrow is my only work from home day. The rest of the week I will be in the office due to a project work that is being done by a vendor that I have to keep tabs on. I really hope they finish the job early like in 2 days instead of 4 days. That everything goes well and then I will rest a bit easier. I already combed through my email on Friday night and Jesus I have one big mess to sort through. More than a few people got fired while I was gone and plenty of new people started. I don’t honestly know if I will be caught up in one day but I am going to make a decent effort. I only hope that I can make it through all of the important stuff tomorrow. Once I go in I have no idea how much time this project will take of my time and while I am eager to get it done I really wish it wasn’t happening until next year. Then again it’s been well over 4 years in the making. I only hope that the guys that show up to do the work are hot.
Speaking of hot guys I had a message from a local college guy last week on the dating app. I answered him back and well he hasn’t bothered to respond. He didn’t match with me but I guess he saw that I liked him so he felt obligated to show me some pity. Jesus I am not into the game playing. I have had a couple guys that are older than me like me but I am emphatic about not falling for another older guy. I want someone younger than me, even if it’s only by a few years. Age is only a number but I don’t want to set myself up to out live another guy. I think finding someone will drastically improve my over all outlook and I will probably wind up living longer. However, it’s not looking good at the moment. I am also only on one app. I don’t want to pass out a bunch of money because there are no guarantee's. Offer me a guarantee that I will meet a guy and we will hit off and I will hand you a small sum of money no problem. No service out there that I am aware of offers that. It’s a crap shoot and you just never know who you will meet or what caliber of a person they will turn out to be.
Apologies for the long rambling but I honestly don’t know that I will have a whole lot of time to myself this week, I am setting things up as if I will be super busy. I will probably be super tired. Getting up early and going in really wears me out and that’s on a good day where I leave the office early. Now factor in rush hour traffic both ways and I am sure I will be dead tired when I get home.
Here’s hoping things won’t be as bad as I am expecting. Thanks for stopping by. I hope that the week ahead is a great one for all of us. Take care, I look forward to the next time we talk. I appreciate your visit.
