Morning … Hope that you had a great holiday and a nice weekend! I opted to go with my friends. I got to sit in front with them and didn’t smell any exhaust. The front windshield was covered with a film that made it difficult for me to see out of the dash, the window could use a cleaning. We got there and back with only one minor traffic issue. I thought I was going to get hit on my side due to a driver error but that didn’t happen.
On the way down I was pelted with text messages as reminders like I am 5 years old and would forget. That pissed me off but I didn’t bother to respond because of the way the messages were worded a response wasn’t required.
We all arrived at the preachers house and carried in the food which had just come from the restaurant and was cooked and heated. However, setup took it’s sweet time and by the time everything was laid out buffet style everything was cold. It was the worst Thanksgiving I can remember having. If we do this same thing next year I will pass. I got to spend time in an old and cold house that was falling apart but fixed up to be semi-presentable. They lit candles everywhere and my allergies were on fire. Of course, I forgot to bring my medicine and we didn’t stay terribly long which was a good thing. They kept us trapped at the table and I knew that my friends back would act up and that turned out to be our saving grace.
It was nice to be around people but I could have and wish I would have skipped it. They tried to stick me with Turkey & Ham to take home but I declined. I got a small piece of pumpkin cheesecake to take home but that’s only because that is what I asked for desert and they butchered that piece to get me a small slice. No one else wanted any so I had the left overs of that large slice to take home. It was good and gone the next day.
I sat at my friends house for a little bit and finally was able to make it home by 10p. Thank God I didn’t have to go to work the next day because I would have been in bad shape. I enjoyed turning my phone off and watching TV. I was a hermit all weekend long and only got out yesterday afternoon for a quick bite to eat and to hit up the grocery store. I kind of hated that I pissed away my time but on the other hand I enjoyed being with the cats, napping and watching TV. It was very much decompression time and time away from my electronic leash and the computer.
Today is back to the grindstone. I’ve got my bills paid and caught up on work thus far. I need to see what I missed from porn and catch up on that, so I will have something to do for a while. Looking forward to working another 3 day week. This Thursday is visit the doctor. Friday I have a haircut scheduled and Saturday I am for sure going to see my friends. I missed eating breakfast out all weekend long but I saved some money and I didn’t go hungry. Need to hit up the Wholesale Club on my days off and the cat food store for the children.
Took a double dose of sleeping meds last night since my sleep schedule was messed up. That always causes me to have nightmares. I never know what they will be about. This one was about an old co-worker who stole a cop car and was chased and wrecked out killing him and his passenger. The next thing I knew I was going through all of the rubble with the police trying to sort out belongings. It was a true nightmare. Thankfully the cats woke me up, I guess it was obvious something was wrong. Of course it was 5am and cold as fuck here. The temperature might have had more to do with it than anything.
Temps took a huge dip here and it very much feels like winter right now and will for a few days. I raised the heat by another degree to keep us comfy warm. I was telling the cats before I went to bed that it’s time to haul out the electric blanket. Once that sucker is on the bed neither one of them will want to leave, even though I keep it on low they sense the heat and enjoy it.
Well thank God Thanksgiving is done with now I don’t have to stress over making a decision. Next up is Christmas. That should be at my friends house but will depend on what they have. It’s will either be a Honey Baked Ham or Prime Rib. If it’s Ham I will go and if it’s Prime Rib I will stay home. I won’t know for several weeks and of course it will be last minute notification. I’ve already told them I hate steak twice this year. Prime Rib is steak and we usually have it every damn year and it’s rare as rare can be, it’s horrible but everyone raves about it but me. I am for sure the odd man out. I will also be on-call for Christmas and it’s on a Monday. I really wish they would gather on Christmas Eve so we can all have the next day to recover but that’s not how things are done. There won’t be any gifts it’s just a get together for food and it’s a free meal. I could always go and just eat sides and whatever is for desert.
Mora & Rudy are both doing fine and reluctant as I to slip back into the daily grind. Rudy is at the top of the stairs on what I call Rudy Duty. It’s his job to watch and greet me, while alerting his sister. Mora is all passed out on the middle of my bed but watching her brother. More predicable than the weather but I like a good routine.
Again I hope you had a great holiday and weekend. Now time for me to venture back to the work computer to catch up on my inbox as things are starting to pile up while I am slacking off. Take care!
