Another HOT evening

Hi there!  Another hot day yesterday meant another hot night here.  The house was 81.  I opened the windows in the kitchen and living room, brought out an exhaust fan to help really circulate the air, thinking that would provide massive cooling.  Silly me, it helped to make it comfortable but it was mostly annoying noise.  It was nice when the sun went down and just as I was going to bed is when I started to feel the really cool breezes blowing in.  It felt so good I threw caution to the wind and opened my bedroom window.  I kept it like that for about 45 minutes and then I felt my sleeping medicine kick in so I opted to start closing up shop. 

The cats go wild when the windows are open.  Rudy climbed up on the kitchen sink to look out the window in the kitchen and his sister told on him, if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have known.  He also managed to jump up on the window sill in my room.  He’s just the right size and skinny enough that it works for him.  Mora wanted to join him but she is way too thick, I am glad that she realized her limitations and didn’t try it but she acted like she wanted to. 

I found a new TV obsession, the old HBO Series Six Feet Under.  I remember I watched the first episode when it premiered and I’d tune in now and then for bits and pieces but it’s quite interesting.  Netflix has the series up and I am watching it.  Didn’t know there was a gay character.  If you can stomach a little gore it’s not a bad show.  It’s a family who runs a funeral home out of their house.  Business is on the main level and the prep room is in the basement.  The second story is where they live.  Looks like this was on for quite sometime so I should be set for something to watch for a while. 

Had a little bit of drama in the neighborhood last night.  I heard this noise and then saw this car round the corner.  It was dragging something and sparks were flying.  It was going full normal speed.  About 15 minutes later here comes an ambulance and a couple police officers.  I had to investigate and found out that it was a drunk guy who fell and had a bloody nose.  I’m betting it was the same guy because the police were checking for property damage complaints from other local agencies involving the car but they found nothing.  I figured the guy was going to jail but nope.  It was all quiet for the remainder of the evening.  There for sure has been an uptick in the last couple months with ambulances and police activity but it’s still a reasonably quiet and safe neighborhood. 

Got a co-worker out this morning but he will be back this afternoon.  I am covering for him in case anything comes in.  Not sure if the dummy is back or not.  The boss is only working a 1/2 day today and will be out for the rest of the week.  I was horrified to find that I am on-call next week but I remember doing that because of Thanksgiving in order to distribute the holiday. 

Speaking of Turkey Day, I did some digging about where my friends Pastor lives.  It’s an average neighborhood but it’s in a older part of the town and they only offer street parking.  I can’t parallel park to save my life, I can take a stab at it but it’s never going to be perfect.  That’s yet another strike in the no column.  I am still mulling it over but I do not think I am going this year.  I hate that because I look forward all year to the Sausage Stuffing.  I could make a reservation for myself at the restaurant but they serve everything family style and it’s enough for 4 to 6 people.  I’d be lugging home a hell of a lot of food and I don’t want to do that.  I wouldn’t mind a plate and then a little bit of left overs.  I’ll be keeping an eye out at the grocery store and provided I do opt out I might consider hitting up Cracker Barrel.  I’ve not had their Turkey Dinner in a very long time.  I know the hot cute waiter works there that it’s been about a year since we interacted and he hasn’t called me yet, he’s not going to and as much as it hurts I have to write him off.  I want to chase him but honestly I think he let his mouth overload his ass and he expressed interest but didn’t really mean to.  One thing I want is some Pumpkin Pie, I haven’t had any for a long time so I might either hit up Cracker Barrel because they are selling whole pies this time of year and they also have another fav which is Chocolate Pecan.  That is murder on my teeth but tastes so good in my mouth.  I am thinking of visiting one morning this weekend for breakfast. 

Speaking of the cute waiter.  I am back on a dating app.  I saw something about Tinder launching a new pricing program and jumped on their platform but didn’t see any new pricing and of course someone liked me before I had a chance to cancel.  You can’t see who it is unless you pay and I hate that.  I am back to a free app that shows you who likes you and permits you to interact if you want.  I’ve seen the same two guys pop up multiple times after I rejected them.  I took it as a glitch in the app but maybe it was the universe sending me a sign.  I’ve blocked both of them so I don’t have to worry now about either popping up again.  I don’t have any hopes that this is going to yield me any positive results but I am trying.  It beats standing still.  I am sure that eventually I will give it up but for the moment I am out there.  I really don’t like this time of year because people travel for the holidays and I don’t want to find someone now only to learn they are going back home.  Long distance isn’t what I am looking for.  I want someone close by that I can hang out with, go places and do things.  Still think that I am destine to be alone, except for the two cats.  I hope that I am wrong and manage to land a hottie long before my expiration date. 

Hope it’s a great Thursday for you.  One more day left and the weekend is here.  Talk with you all again soon.  Thanks for dropping by.
