I hope that everyone is having a good new year so far. Sunday was a crazy day for me. I got up later than I wanted but it was still early. Fed the cats, got a shower and got out of here. Hit up a place for breakfast, Target, The Grocery Store and Gas Station. It was cold out and I was done for the day from a going outside perspective.
Got everything put away and spent time with the cats. It got close to the time for my first work task so I incorporated a load of laundry and we all headed for the basement. The cats were over joyed. After a short time of me starting to work, Rudy started to bother me. They spend all week begging me to come down stairs and were doing there for 15 minutes and then they nag me to come back upstairs. That sure sounds like a cat to me.
I got work done, caught up on personal stuff and then we headed back up. I just had this burst of energy and it was difficult to sit still. I had French Toast for breakfast and expected the sugar high to wear off and me to have to have a nap but that never happened. Big surprise my appetite was also gone, I wasn’t hungry and never had any lunch. The cats did though.
All of the laundry got done, dishes put away (that never happens) and eventually it came time for the main event at work. Once we went back down Mora was the one who wouldn’t leave me alone. Rudy was upstairs waiting for us. I picked Mora up and sent her on her way upstairs and closed the door. Then back to work. It was 2 hours total that I was down there doing nothing but work. I knew that I shouldn’t have taken on as big of load as I did but I also know the job got done right the first time and there is no mess to mop up.
Once the work was done I had a little bit of personal stuff to tend to, grabbed the calendars and headed back up. Then I had to come back down for laundry to take up. Then I went to check the air filter on the furnace because I forgot, it was fine.
I had been fighting a neck ache all day and that’s usually the first sign I am about to get sick. I tweaked it looking at guys at the pizza place I went to on Saturday. I took some OTC pain medicine and just kept going. I thought for sure I was either getting sick or maybe I picked up COVID, that is how it started the one time I had it but the neck ache was the worst one of my life and what I had been suffering from was minor in comparison.
I did lots of writing, payed attention to the cats, hung out with the cats and some how managed to stay up until just after midnight. I didn’t watch any NYE stuff on TV but recorded it. I will review it and look at the entertainment (music) and may listen to some of it. Anyway I climbed into my nice fresh bed. Watched something on Max and I was drowsy and fell asleep. Woke up, turned the TV off and white noise on. Rudy climbed on top of me and I was out. Not a bad way to end the year.
Today I woke up early because that’s how my body is conditioned and Rudy wanted his breakfast so he was working his magic to get me up. I fed them, had some milk and cookies and my morning meds. Then climbed back into bed and worked on finding something to watch. I was surrounded by cats and we started watching something. Eventually I got tired and had to kick Mora out of bed so that I could roll over and turned the TV off and went back to dream land for a couple more hours.
Woke up with plenty of time to grab a quick shower and get dressed for my friends open house. I was the first one there. I had one biscuit and some gravy. Managed to squeeze a soda out of them and that was it. I sat and chatted a bit but mostly did a lot of listening. There was plenty of food and I would have gone back for more but one my appetite wasn’t there and two they weren’t serving soda so I was told that I got one and when that was gone I was out of luck.
There were plenty of people and they started to leave after a couple hours. I got bogged down with some old guy who was talking about some International Union that he was a part of and it was one of those situations where I was trapped. Eventually he shifted his focus to someone else and the subject changed. That’s when I made my move and grabbed my coat and headed out. I was there for 4 hours, wished I could have left sooner. Found out that they had Prime Rib for Christmas so kind of glad that I didn’t make it after all. I don’t know why they had that when I’ve told them more than once I don’t care for steak. I will go to a steakhouse but I will get Chicken, sounds odd I know but it’s just how I am.
Made my way back home and kept thinking about tomorrow how it will be back to the same old stuff. My neck feels better but still a little sore. My appetite is still MIA but that’s not a bad thing. I have a ton of left over pizza and am eating on that a little bit here and there. I am already sick of it but considering the cost I will be eating pizza for a good part of the week. I won’t want pizza for awhile but I will want a good eye candy show so I know I will be back at that place.
The new naked men calendars are up and look really good. I am keeping a close watch on the clock because I have to get ready for tomorrow and make sure that my lunch items are ready. I plan to go in to the office unless I wake up feeling sick. Kind of feels like something is going on with my body but just not sure what exactly it is. I am not looking forward to going back and all of the BS that I deal with but ready or not it’s time.
I am not a fan of a new year just because it feels like starting from scratch in many ways. Sometimes that is a good thing but I guess it’s more of a reminder to me that I am all alone, the holidays are done. I do hope that this is a better year for all of us. It won’t be long before were in full swing for the election and the political ads will start flying. I do not look forward to that and really wonder who will be the next US President, that will be very interesting.
Funny thing when I made my Target run they had all of the Christmas stuff gone and were getting ready for Valentine’s Day. They had candy in heart shaped boxes out and I thought my aren’t we just a little early with this. That’s business though always out for the almighty dollar.
Stay warm, be well and take care. I will talk with you all again soon.
