Morning & Happy Valentine’s Day!
Made it home early yesterday. The phone was blowing up on the drive home but as per usual when I got home and looked it was largely nothing but back and forth messages that required no action from me. I still logged in to file things away and double check to make sure there wasn’t anything looming. Then went on with my evening.
The two furry beasts spent the day in bed yesterday. I checked on them in the morning and the afternoon. It was like they never moved. However, the garage door opens, they hear it close and keys in the door. They both greeted me at the door and weren’t crazy about moving out of the way to allow me to enter. However, I compelled them. One I got settled the first order of business was passing out food.
Don’t you know they had their 3 cans of food yesterday. An hour later when I ate supper they were both begging for food. Funny thing is I put down a can that they passed on last time. This time they gobbled it up like they were really starving and hadn’t been fed in days.
My shoulder/neck was still bothering me but I sat on the couch and we spent a normal evening together. Me passing out attention, watching TV and then passing out treats and back for more TV. Surfed social media and back to the TV. Then time for bed and a date with the heating pad.
The heat felt so good on my neck and shoulders. I felt really good when I woke up this morning but I feel some lingering pain, hopefully it will dissipate.
Got one meeting to attend in awhile from now. That is all that is left on my plate. All of my other tasks have been knocked out with my early morning punch, as per usual. I like to get things done so that I either have room for something else coming in or so I can goof off the rest of the day.
It was a boring damn day yesterday being holed up in my office. My work computer kept giving me problems so that made the day slightly interesting and I managed to fix it. I installed an update to a program that didn’t play well with my system. Had to remove the program and roll back to an earlier edition, then all was well.
Lots of people were surprised to see me yesterday. I was asked more than once why I was in the office. I said because it’s Tuesday. That evoked some laughter. I don’t talk about my attendance much as I don’t want to spoil the good thing I have going. I know that some day it will come to an end but for now I am riding it for all it’s worth. We have a mandatory in person meeting next week but I will be attending remotely. I will be in the office but I am not congregating with others mostly for the fear of COVID. It’s back in our office and we have a few people out. I can’t believe they have the gall to call a mandatory in person meeting. It’s just to update us on financials, we don’t expect anything else but then again you never really know until the meeting is over. They have these once a quarter, but the funny thing we aren’t even through with Q1 and this is a meeting about Q1. Whacky? I know. Hopefully, it’s all good news.
We had a full breakfast served yesterday with lots of hot food. I stayed away from that as well. I skipped that as well. Besides that I ate at home before I came to work like I always have. I don’t get people coming to work and then eating breakfast daily. I can understand a rough morning and not having time for breakfast once and awhile but not as the norm. That has always rubbed me the wrong way. We get this ‘treat’ once a month and it always varies as to what they serve. It’s a post pandemic benefit to promote collaboration and mental health, so you see and interact with others.
Rudy was really on the job this morning. I woke up around 3:30a because the internet went out and my Alexa stopped my White Noise. Complete silence isn’t something I can stay asleep in, need some kind of noise. Managed to get back to sleep for a little bit, then tried Alexa again around 4a. It was back on. Rudy came to join me and tried to coerce me out of bed but I told him it was too early. I ignored my full bladder as well, just wanted to get back to sleep. Rudy was back around 5:30a and again at 6a. Where was he yesterday when I needed him to wake me at 6a? Fast asleep. Today he was his normal self. He got me up 5 minutes before the alarm was going to sound. He is always pleased to see me in the morning, I think mostly because he knows he is going to get some food. He does this little dance while I use the bathroom and he keeps bugging me to hurry up. Once the food is down he is calm. He always eats first and then Mora comes in. I usually have to call her and we eat together, but she is much quicker than me and is done long before I am even 1/2 way done.
If it wasn’t for the news reminding me I would have forgotten all about today being Valentines Day. I thought about it yesterday but not much. It would be nice to have someone to celebrate the day with but I got my kisses from Mora & Rudy and I am satisfied. Happy they are both here to keep me company and keep life interesting.
Looking forward to having the rest of the week off. Outside of going to see the doc tomorrow and wanting to hit up Sam’s club, I have no other plans set. I am sure that I will manage to find some place to go or something to do but it all depends largely on how I feel. If this neck/shoulder thing is still going on I will give in and take that Muscle Relaxer that knocks me out to bring an end to this. I hate to be doped up and sleeping my life away but if it means an end to the pain then so be it.
Finished off that pasta last night. My stomach wasn’t terribly happy with me this morning about that. Not sure what I am having for supper. Looking forward to some hard boiled eggs for lunch.
Have a great day and I will talk with you all again soon.
