Morning … Yesterday there wasn’t anything going on so I retreated upstairs to continue to watch Six Feet Under. I had a couple of interruptions from work and I jumped on those quickly. However, by in large for the bulk of the day I was paid to watch TV and didn’t do anything work related, other than occasionally checking my phone to make sure I didn’t miss something. I am going to try to repeat that today since there isn’t much going on. I will have something to take care of at some point today but probably not until the late afternoon. No meetings or scheduled plans/events on my calendar for today other than lunch.
The Thanksgiving Drama continues in that I got a text message yesterday and was told that the food order was being placed. I was asked if I wanted extra stuff to take home and I quickly replied with a no. Unless for some reason my mind changes I plan to inform my friends on the day of in the morning that I won’t be coming. It’s a shame because I know the food will be superb since it is coming from a restaurant. I’ve got my Catholic guilt nagging at me so there is a small chance I might give in and go. Honestly I don’t want to be alone on a holiday but at the same time I don’t want to be trapped at a strangers house. This is all church politics for my friends and I really hate that I am caught up in it. Their new Pastor came to town a couple years ago and he was put in charge of showing him around and ever since then my friend has taken it upon himself to become friends. I dunno maybe it’s genuine but it all seems fake to me.
I logged on to check the balance on my car loan to see about it showing all zeros and damn if there isn’t a 25 cent balance. I called this morning and they are going to back date the payment to wipe out the balance and the title should be here in about 10 days. I’ll be double checking the website but it only updates once per day so sometime between tomorrow and Monday. The outcome is what I hoped for, I just hope the person I spoke with follows through. I’ve been a good customer. Never skipped a payment, never late on a payment. They made plenty of money off of me. I look forward to tucking payments that I would normally make towards the loan into my savings and watching it grow. That is something to be thankful for.
Rudy scared me last night he woke up from a sound sleep and started this coughing fit. Then he acted like he was trying to hock up a hair ball but nothing would come out. I am sure it was quite uncomfortable for him but after a few minutes he got it all worked out. I just kept thinking please don’t die on me. For some unknown reason he has been giving me really good photo poses/moments to capture and I kept thinking I wonder if he’s going to croak soon. Gator gave me a lot of good photo moments and I didn’t waste a single opportunity to take as many pictures of her as I could because I knew from experience that I would be left with photos and videos someday. I think about last year at this time and everything was fine and I had no clue we were nearing the end. My feelings now are based off of last year and I am on guard despite both Rudy & Mora being absolutely young and healthy.
I woke up from a nightmare disaster where I was doing a bunch of walking. I hade to use the restroom and my back was absolutely killing me. I think I was actually walking in my sleep even though I was in bed. When I climbed back in bed Mora snuggled up with me and helped me get back to sleep. She loves a good snuggle and belly rub. We are truly as close as I think we could be, which is hundreds of miles from where we were when she arrived here. Rudy warmed up to me right away but Mora took her sweet time. Now that everything is just perfect for them but I do wonder if they are thinking about when the good time ends, expecting me to part ways with them since that is what ever other owner they have had in the past did. I think if I did that it would for sure that would crush them. I’ve got no plans to part ways with them but they do get on my nerves from time to time.
We made it to another Friday. I had a great plan for the weekend earlier in the week but now I don’t know if I will follow through with it or if I will just sleep in. It kind of depends on how I feel and how much sleep I get. I can tell you that eating out is for sure on the list. I have to go back to the damn cat food store because some lady was in my way last week, checking ingredients on each damn can and then looking them all up on her phone and talking to herself. Is this a carb, oh what’s that are a couple of things she muttered. I wanted to look at her and say get out of the way but I just took what little I had and left. The toy penguin with the treats was a hit but Mora will tap that thing until it doesn’t spill anymore treats. It doesn’t hold much and I have to keep filling it or it just sits on the floor. I’ve neglected it and just kept up with regular treat time. I do get a sense that both cats are bored and I am looking for some puzzle toys and other toys to help keep them occupied if they want to be.
Hope that you have a great Friday and a super weekend. I am headed backup to watch TV and hope that my phone stays quiet. I would like peace and quiet especially since I will be on-call next week. Take care and be well.
