OC Monday

Morning … Hope your weekend was a nice one.  Since I posted on both Saturday & Sunday that doesn’t leave a lot of room for content for today. 

I had an enjoyable evening with the cats, we returned to upstairs earlier than I wanted to.  I did that to pacify Mora.  She slept for a bit but Rudy came down to visit me and I was giving him attention.  I got the evil eye from her and just knew the right thing to do was to head up. 

I passed out treats for them.  Then I watched TV for a bit.  Took a shower, shaved and took my meds.  Thought that would be a nice way to wind down.  Turns out that I was all amped up until close to 11p. 

I watched a few live broadcasts on YouTube about Riley Strain, they all kind of said the same thing.  I saw the video of the girls finding his bank card.  I heard that his parents headed back home.  That was heartbreaking.  I understand their decision you can only put life on hold for so long.  I know the search will continue for him.  I was surprised to hear that a body was found in the river but it was a female and not Riley.  I am going to continue to follow this but don’t know how much longer it will remain in the mainstream media before it eventually fades out.  It would be a good thing if he is found so his parents have some closure.  The one thing that I got last night and never thought of is, boy some kind of frat brothers this guy had.  They should have watched his back and sent someone back to the hotel with him, he should have never been permitted to leave alone.  That is kind of the reason why so many people are searching for him.  You always travel in pairs, especially when one of you is clearly not sober. 

Had an okay nights sleep.  I had to shuffle the cats in order to get into bed, that caused them to leave.  Rudy was the first one back and he curled up by my side.  Mora came in eventually, she wanted the same thing and was pissed that her brother beat her to the punch.  She laid in the chair and then at some point during the night she returned to curl up by my feet.  I was surprised when I woke up at 5a that they were both there.  I felt a pain in the middle of my back and that’s how I knew my body knew they were there.  I sleep in weird positions to accommodate them.  I’d like to try it one night by myself just to see if my back doesn’t have any pain.  I get that they love and worship me, they are trying to protect me.  I like all of that but jeez a guy needs his whole bed once and a while. 

Today is OC Monday for me.  That means on call Monday.  Thus far all is calm and quiet.  That theme may last for a couple more hours because it’s still early but eventually that will wear off.  The boss is back today.  Thankfully no dumb meeting on the calendar as of yet.  I’ve knocked out all of my tasks and it’s just a matter of sitting back and waiting for something to pop.  I do hope that nothing does pop today but that’s kind of like holding your breath and hoping that eventually you don’t turn blue and pass out. 

Winter is back here for it’s final hurrah.  Makes me glad that I turned the furnace back on.  It was on when I woke up and it just kicked on again.  Oddly enough tomorrow is the first day of Spring.  It’s just cold here this week, were talking 40’s to 50’s, which is okay. 

I hope it’s a good day for all and a fast moving one at that.  Take care!
