I didn’t bother with getting back out in the cold and slop on Saturday. I don’t remember what I had for supper, which is a shame it was just a couple days ago.
Sunday morning I made it out for breakfast had a large Pineapple pancake with some too runny to finish eggs and some slightly burnt sausage patties. It was good but could have been better. I forewarned my waitress that I would be a heavy drinker and she did a good job at keeping me stocked with soda. I didn’t use any syrup on the pancake because all they had was maple and I’m allergic. Blueberry Syrup on a Pineapple Pancake just doesn’t mix well, I’ve done that before.
It was even colder out in the morning but the slop was all dried up. Moved on to the grocery store and gas station after that stop. Didn’t buy much at the sore it was pretty much a blur. I hardly ever make a list and just grab and go. If I miss something I’ll be back the following week. Turns out they had some house made holiday cookies so I grabbed them. I am a sucker for some good holiday cookies. I also looked at the frozen pizza section just to see what my choices would be. There is still only one grocery store in town that carries Tombstone and that is by far my favorite for frozen pizza. Something about staying in, firing up the oven and making one of those just sounds good. Granted I have had my fill of pizza but I realized yesterday that I hadn’t done that in well over a year. It’s on my mental list of things to do.
After the running I did I came home and got everything put away. Watched some TV and eventually wound up back in bed for a bit. I was sleepy and my bed looked so inviting. The new sheets are great and the comforter is a little bit too much with the heat. I have woken up hot a couple times. Turning down the thermostat tonight. The cats like it because it’s even softer and there is more padding. It’s truly a fight to get in my own bed and get comfortable.
Once I got up again and got moving it was tough to stop a body in motion. I worked through chores and computer work quickly. Then rested for a bit and spent time with the cats and my phone. Saw an alert that someone in my neighborhood lost their tabby cat. I noticed that my cats had been really interested in the outside more so than normal. I peeked out but didn’t see anything.
I changed clothes and went back out for some fish. I thought about Mexican but knew the place I went I would get crappy service since it was Sunday and that’s been my experience in the recent past. Red Lobster sounded really good to me as I was leaving the grocery store so I hit them up. My timing was perfect no wait and got seated right away. I didn’t care much for my waitress she was a bit of a ditz. However, service was good. The food was even better and I filled up on biscuits, mashed potatoes, a little broccoli and one piece of fish. I kind of planned it that way and took the remainder of my meal to go. I will have a nice dinner tonight with it. I even got extra tarter sauce. It’s the best. Came home and saw bunches of deer out. They looked cute but I get nervous around them since they love to collide with cars. Thankfully they all stayed off in the fields and side of the road as I slowly drove by.
Came home, changed clothes. My refills came in that time and I never heard my phone go off that someone was at the front door. I got a bargain on the price but was really concerned that I may have gotten the wrong thing. Turns out it was right after all, so I was more than pleased about that. Then I sat down and tried to finish a story but the cats didn’t permit that for long. They are oddly attracted to what ever pen is in my hand. They both seem to think it’s a play toy. I think they don’t like that I am focused on writing and not them. Rudy is by far the worst and he can get the closest to me because he’s smaller. He loves to grab with his paws as he is on his back and try to bite the pen. If I am writing with something disposable I will let him lightly chew for a second. However, I had one of my Mont Blanc’s out yesterday and there was no way he was putting that in his mouth. He brushed up against it and wanted to bite it but that didn’t happen.
I wound up having to set things aside and pay attention to them. Mora wound up in my lap and I was rubbing her belly. We watched a small amount of TV and then I scrolled through my phone to catch up on social media. It was national dating day or something like that yesterday. I downloaded Bumble and wow they have quite the variety of guys. I got a like while I was scrolling and that’s when I got the reminder you have to pay up if you want to see who liked you. That caused me to delete my account. I am over paying. It weighed on me what if you just passed up a chance and what if you hurt someone’s feelings. However, I let that wash right off of me. If there was a guarantee that I could even so much as get a viable date I’d pay them but since it usually is awkward game playing and there isn’t a guarantee I would rather hang on to my money.
Listened to the police scanner while I got ready for today and shaved and got a shower. I use Dollar Club’s Shave Butter it’s pretty good and the closest thing I can find that I like that works similar to Zirh’s Shave Gel. I’ve tried other Shave Gel’s but Zirh’s was my favorite, it’s not made any longer that I can see. They have shave cream it’s good but clogs up the razor. Shave butter is white and when I was done I looked like I had been in an orgy my stomach and chest was covered with shave butter. Nothing a shower can’t fix. My face was on fire which isn’t normal.
Brushed my teeth and took my shutdown medicine. Then I was able to get in some writing before changing over to the TV. My eyes were starting to give out on me. It wasn’t long before I put everything away and fought to get in bed. Feeling warm and comfy it took a bit longer than I expected but I did pass out and turned the TV off. I couldn’t remember the phrase White Noise but my Echo knew what I wanted I don’t know what I said but it fired up and that was all that mattered to me. Off to dream land I went.
Here we are staring Monday morning in the face. The weather is going to be crap here today and tomorrow. It’s starting as rain and changing to snow. More snow on Tuesday. Wednesday looks to be a dry day and I thought about going in then but I have a lot going and I couldn’t see my way clear to being able to leave when I normally do so I think I am stuck at home this week. If that changes I might be slightly happy. I will be stuck here all next week because I am on-call. Two weeks is kind of my breaking point of being alone before I start to go stir crazy. This weekend will be a 3 day one because next Monday is MLK JR’s birthday and we are closed. I booked a haircut for Saturday to have something to look forward to.
There isn’t anything going on and my morning work is done. Boss man is going to the doctor so were kind of the mice left alone while the cats away. I am getting ready to go back upstairs and watch TV. I’ve got my phone in case anything breaks and somehow that always seems to happen about the time I get comfy.
Thanks for dropping by, I appreciate your visit. Hope that your warm and had a wonderful first weekend of the year. I am looking forward to the second weekend, especially since I have the extra day. Take care and be well.
