Morning and Happy Hump Day!
Well just around lunch time yesterday the jury came back and I know the verdict (talking about the Jennifer Crumbley case) came back. I thought they would find her guilty but as I was watching the TV I was largely unsure. The whole situation is sad and if everyone from the parents to the school personnel would have done more I think the situation could have been avoided but I say that in hindsight. I wish that this had never happened and hope that it doesn’t happen again, but sadly it will. This has become a ‘new normal’ for America and this certainly wasn’t the first time a school shooting took place. It kind of seems to me like both the parents lives are flushed down the toilet along with their sons. I don’t see how the mother can be found guilty and the father be found not-guilty, but his case is yet to play out. I do hope that the father hired a different attorney. I think part of the guilty verdict on the mother factors into the defense her attorney told and I don’t think that she did a very good job but that’s my opinion.
I subscribe to something that Steve Harvey said a long time ago in one of his stand up routines. If your life if messed up and you want to take yourself out, that’s your prerogative. You don’t need to take other innocent lives with you. This is true for not only school shootings but mass shootings as well. Neither makes any sense. It seems like you have to keep your head on a swivel regardless of where you are at, you could be driving or crossing the street. It’s just a sad state of affairs. I hope that it gets better but I don’t foresee that happening. Again just my opinion.
Moving on … I had half of Chicken Fried Steak and Mashed potatoes from something the grocery store made. After I ate the half I wanted to go back and finish the other half but resisted. It was not easy. Now I have something to look forward to be it at lunch or supper tonight. Of course the other meal will be left over pizza.
Watched a Documentary on Netflix last night about Ric Flair who was a pro-wrestler. Just took me back to my childhood. My grandfather and younger brother were both big into wrestling. It was the show that was on every Saturday without fail rain or shine, sick or well. I remember my grandfather had to have surgery and my brother watched and when we visited him on Sunday he was telling grandpa all about who beat who. I watched but wasn’t all that interested. You’d think men in tights would have been on my radar. Not sure what happened there. LOL
After that was done I watched a few YouTube videos and then went back to old episodes of The First 48. Had to give attention to Mora. She was kind of a pain last night. After she got her treats she went to her little house on the cat tree and disappeared from sight. Until eventually emerging to soak up the last hour of my time on the couch. Rudy was sound asleep and no trouble at all.
I got a shower and after that was over with, Rudy was all hyper and wanted to play. I gave him some attention and he drank some left over water from the tub. I tried to spy on him and he threw a fit. He doesn’t like to be watched. It’s the funniest damn thing.
The three of us have a decent time here. It’s mostly boring but every once and a while a memory is made here and there. A laugh here or there and fun is had by all.
One dumb meeting on the agenda for today. It’s booked for an hour and I know it will last close to that if not the entire hour. My ears will be bleeding and I will be saying STFU while on mute but this too shall pass. It’s a typical Wednesday event. Hopefully, there won’t be any drama and it will be a smooth sailing day. This time next week it will be my Friday, I look forward to that. Disconnecting from work and focusing on me and the cats.
I am thinking about the weekend and where to go. Since I am on-call I don’t want to stray too far but I’ve been known to throw caution to the wind. I have a haircut booked early in the morning on Saturday. That may cause me to venture out for breakfast that way once the haircut is done I can come home and take a nap before going back out. Nothing like a good nap after a sugary breakfast kicks in and makes me good and drowsy. Not saying that is what will happen but I like the plan.
Only need to hit up the post office, grocery store and gas station this weekend. Wow gas has gone up. It was hovering in the mid $2.50’s for a long time and now it’s well over the $3 per gallon mark here. I miss the days of being a kid when gas was 50 cents and then the good old days of my teen years where it hovered somewhere in the $1 range for a gallon. Those days are gone for sure and probably never will return. I remember when it hit $3 per gallon for the first time and people were loosing their minds. Just think if I lived in California that would sound like a bargain price.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my blathering's. Talk with you all again soon. Be well.
