My insomnia kicked up again overnight from Saturday into Sunday. That made me just want to stay in bed on Sunday, which I largely did for the most part. I got up to feed the cats because Rudy wouldn’t leave me alone. He had me up at what he thought was the normal time. That didn’t help things. I watched some TV and then went back to sleep.
I got in plenty of cuddle time with Mora and Rudy both. It was really enjoyable. I kept thinking about the damn grocery store and getting moving. I got up to eat breakfast and then returned to my chair to watch more TV. I didn’t get to the store until around noon. The place was packed but I expected that. I’m thankful that I remembered to buy a sandwich for Tuesday otherwise I would have taken in a bunch of Smucker’s Uncrustables PB&J, those damn things are really good. I never had them before but a guy I watch on YouTube mentioned them two weeks ago and I’ve been buying them ever since. Grape is good but I also like the Strawberry. Both offer 2 layers of Peanut Butter. I just have to remember to get them out to defrost by placing them on the top of the counter. In about an hour and a half they are ready. If I am lucky and rush it I can get it slightly cold which is my preference. I had two of them last week with a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, took me back to days of being a kid and being home sick or a cold winters day.
When I got back from the store I grabbed the bedding and we all headed downstairs to do laundry. I was catching up on porn, paying bills and entering money I spent as well as checking personal email. Rudy and Mora just lapped up being down here. They eventually settled down into a couple old office chairs I have. They would each get bored and go exploring. Mora eventually went back upstairs and that was timed just right because I led Rudy to the door and Mora met us there. That’s when I returned to upstairs. Tackled trash and cleaning. Then putting out my medicine. A little bit of rest and then got dressed and headed out to get Mexican Food.
I probably should have picked some place else for food but I thought of the salsa and chips, with the hint of salt and that just lured me in. I walked in and they were short on help, as per usual but this time there were 2 people ahead of me. They had been standing there a while and asked two people for help. That just about caused me to leave but I stuck around. Someone came up and said party of 3. The lady said just the 2 of us, unless he’s paying. I waffled about it while I ate and I wound up buying their dinner. The waitress spoiled the surprise so I didn’t get to do my usual line of unveiling what I did. Damn that was some expensive meal. Thankfully, they didn’t have any alcohol just food but I dropped $60. It’s not going to break me. I got a rise out of them and they thanked me profusely. Even told me that I should have joined them. That would have been nice but it would have also been a little awkward. They each had to be 60 or older and I don’t know how well we would have all gotten along. I’m glad that I made their evening and was able to sort of surprise them. My drink went dry and I wasn’t checked on regularly. The ladies got much better service than I did but they also had a different person waiting on them. Not sure if I will be going back to that place at least not on a weekend, even if the salsa and chips are the draw.
Came home, thought about hitting up a car wash but there were plenty of crazy people out. It was just a bit after dusk and lights while driving were clearly needed. I couldn’t believe the number of cars that I saw with people driving pitch black. For that reason I just wanted to get home and off the road. I had a close call when I made the trip from home. A truck didn’t want to let me merge on to the freeway but I forced myself and that caused them to change lanes, if they didn’t we would have for sure hit and I am sure it would have been all my fault. Just glad there was no accident that would have ruined more than the trip.
I am sort of looking forward to heading in to the office tomorrow. Considering I haven’t been there since last month. Just got the word about our holiday bonus that will be on our next check, as per usual. It’s only a couple hundred dollars that they take taxes out of and write it as a separate check so that it’s taxed at a higher rate. I hate that but just glad they are giving it to us instead of some cheesy physical gift.
Still no word from my Thanksgiving friends and I haven’t made any reservations or lifted one finger towards Thanksgiving. The last time we were together their pastor was scheduled to have some testing and surgery done. His wife wanted us to meet up for the next holiday at their house, which is a bit more of a drive for me but I’d make it if I was truly interested in going. I look forward to Sausage Stuffing from the place we go to each year but right now I am not sure that I will be getting that this year much less going out on Thanksgiving. As long as I have my Rudy and Mora to snuggle up with I might be a little depressed but I believe they will be enough. Still miss my Gator girl, more now that each day is growing closer to the one year mark next month.
My day ended with getting ready for Monday, shaving and showering. Then took a Benadryl and 1 sleeping pill, that was enough to knock me out all night long, despite having slept in. I felt pretty good this morning despite having woken up a couple times. It felt like morning would never come. I also managed to get all but 1 clock updated and it still felt like things were off so I constantly asked my smart speaker what time it was. I think after today I will be like that old boy band N Sync. Yeah it was bad but hey I just had to use it.
Hope your Monday moves along well. My disk is still analyzing and were up to 74% done and 213 Damaged sectors. I hope that this thing finishes today but I don’t think it will be done until tomorrow. Then I get to find out if it will try to repair what’s damaged for free or if I have to pay. Just as long as I don’t have to sit through another few days of waiting. I am anxious to reboot and get back to a normal state. Already looking at a new drive. It’s going to be summer like here for the next few days and then by the end of the week we will be back in Fall. Today and tomorrow will be hot enough for me to turn the AC on, but I will probably sweat through it like I have the few days we had last month.
Ciao for now.
