The half way point

Good Morning, hope it’s a great day!

Yesterday just after I put my coat on and was ready to head out my cell phone rang and of course it was the boss.  He called me the last time I was in the office and about to head out.  I hope this doesn’t become a regular thing.  Just like last time it was a quick question and the call lasted for two minutes and we were done. 

I headed out and traffic was aggressive and I was clamoring for heat.  It was on but it wasn’t until I got on the freeway that my ass was on fire.  My seat warmer does a great job once it warms up.  Each winter I wish for the same thing, a heated steering wheel that is the only feature I am missing.  Had it in my lemon car and it was awesome.  Once I got closer to home I had to fight school bus traffic.  After that it was smooth sailing.  Once I parked I noticed that it was getting foggy out.  A short time later I got a dense fog advisory on my phone.  Good to know my eyes aren’t deceiving me. 

Came inside and said hello to the cats.  Put out some food for them before I even took my coat off.  I know that poor Rudy was starving.  Not having lunch always makes him super hungry.  Got him taken care of.  Mora watched me close as I opened the front door and brought in the damn heavy bags of Water Softener Salt.  Rudy could have cared less he was happy stuffing his face.  I always double check and count cats after I open a door just in case.  It’s an old habit and one that I will probably never grow out of. 

I was able to get settled and changed clothes.  I didn’t eat lunch, I had some pretzels, a soda and a snack cake.  Forgot that I had brought cheese sticks.  Put those and my sandwich away.  Grabbed a fresh soda from the ice box (there is an old fashioned word) and sat on the couch firing up my laptop and dealing with work that happened while I was on my commute home.  Just a little bit to deal with nothing crazy. 

Mora wanted her cuddle time and nudged me to get off the laptop so she could occupy my lap.  I gave in and she wasted no time moving right in.  She was rolled over on her side in nothing flat.  Got to have that belly rub.  I sat with her as I found something on TV.  Rudy was sleeping next to us in his bed.  I found a dumb movie that I had seen before but decided to watch again.  Between Mora and the movie they both occupied my attention. 

It was getting to be later than I normally eat and I booted Mora and headed for the kitchen.  Had 1/2 of some store made Mostaccioli and some water.  Didn’t want to load up on the caffeine since I was at my 2 soda limit.  Had some cheesecake for desert.  Then back to the couch and Mora.  I was really surprised I was fully of energy that just wouldn’t quit.  The movie was done, I turned the TV off.  Mora was resting. 

I looked through social media, saw the usual number of hot guys and porn.  Then opted to continue a story I was working on.  That took up the rest of the night until it was time for bed.  I was still very full of energy which is typically not the case when I am up at 6a and go in the office.

I got ready for bed and scrambled to find something to watch.  Found a couple of You Tube videos that were of interest.  Then it was back to scrambling.  I found myself dozing and waking up.  That’s when I called it.  I climbed into bed with the cats that I had to move to make room for me.  They looked at me like you moved me, who do you think you are.  I didn’t pay much attention to that.  Just climbed on in and fired up an I Love Lucy episode, damn if it was the same one I watched the night before.  That did the trick I was out pretty fast. 

Had some great dreams about driving an exotic car and was with friends.  As fast as that dream started it was over.  The I woke up.  Found my self exposed and went to cover up and woke the Rudy.  He started with his wake up biscuits routine.  I looked at the clock and it was a half hour before I needed to get up.  I tried to wait it out but he was tap dancing on my bladder and then came his sister.  Before she got a chance to do the same thing I opted to get up.  That appeased both of them.  We got the day started. 

I’ve got one hour long meeting that is actually a combination of a meeting we were going to have yesterday that got moved to today and then our regular mid week meeting.  After that unless something comes rolling in I should be free.  There always seems to be something that happens to occupy free time and it’s okay I would rather be occupied than super bored or on fire busy.  Yesterday I cleaned up my email box, it’s well organized but I hang on to stuff before I file it away into the archives.  Some things I hang on to longer than I need to. 

Now I am off to find some eye candy for your viewing pleasure that I will post a bit later.  I know that’s the reason why a lot of you stop by.  Perfectly okay.  They say sex sells and there is a lot of truth in that.  Hope that things are warming up in your neck of the woods and that it is a great day.  Talk with you peeps later.
