Sunday

The furnace is back on, it’s just too cold in the house to go without it.  I’ve suffered all day long but this evening decided time to be comfortable.  It was enjoyable in my room when I was sleeping being cooler and me under the covers, other than that not so comfy and I think even the cats dislike it.  Although their body temperature runs higher than a humans.  I know they love heat, year round. 

Kept to a pretty much normal schedule by waking up early, thanks in part to Rudy.  He made his biscuits and got me up a little before 7a.  I passed out breakfast for them.  I got dressed, took my medicine and headed out for breakfast.  Mailed a letter and grabbed my mail.  Then hit up the grocery store.  Then home to unload and be lazy. 

I enjoy a Sunday morning just watching TV sitting around with nothing to do and being able to unwind.  Even going back to bed and napping a bit.  I rolled out of bed for the second time around noon, that too was thanks to Rudy.  He wanted his lunch. 

I ate some chocolate carmel popcorn for lunch, which was pretty good.  Put out my medicine and then we watched a movie.  After that was done I got up and got dressed again. 

Headed out for pizza.  I went to the deep dish place where there is a cute waiter I like but he wasn’t working today.  The place was oddly dead for being St. Patrick’s Day.  They have a full bar and I would have thought people would be wanting to get drunk but apparently they were elsewhere, which is fine.  This little trip takes 30 minutes each way.  Takes about 40 to 45 minutes for them to make a pizza and then give me about 20 minutes to eat.  My point being that it takes time, this isn’t a place I’d go if I was in a hurry.  I picked it because of that. 

As I sat and waited for my pizza I thought about next weekend and where I want to go.  A nearby Mexican place sounds good and so does Red Lobster.  If I remember that and my desires don’t change then I will likely follow through with those place.  It will also depend on the vibe I get from work as I will be on-call. 

After coming home from pizza, I ran the vacuum, took out the trash and passed out supper for the cats.  I opted to spend some time in the basement on the computer.  I know I will be trapped here tomorrow but at the moment I can do whatever I want and I like that freedom.  Of course I have to answer to the boss lady, Mora.  She would rather be upstairs cuddling with me instead of sitting in a chair behind me.  She will soon grow tired of that and we will have a battle because she will want to be in my lap. 

Unfortunately, the search for Riley Strain continues.  I see they found his bank card today.  The longer this goes on the more I can’t help but think it’s not going to be a good outcome.  I watched another taro reading which I’ve never seen one.  It was odd but there wasn’t anything that was overwhelming to me.  This person surmised that he fell in the water and that his body has since been carried away with the current of the river.  His body is stuck on something.  I know that a lot of people are interested in finding him and I think the word has been disseminated very well that he is missing.  I do think he will turn up, especially if they widen the search parameters and look further both on land and water.  I feel bad for his parents.  Apparently lots of people go missing every day in this country and are never ever seen again.  We only get to hear about a small portion of them through the media.  I do hope for a positive outcome to this but again the longer this goes on the more I can’t help but think it’s not going to end well and that is sad. 

I am a little sore from my massage yesterday but it’s not nearly as bad as it was the first time.  That’s part of the reason why I want to keep this up on a schedule to help work the knots out and to hopefully feel better overall.  Thankfully, I did drink enough water I say that because I am not sick today.  Water is part of my daily routine, massage or not. 

After my playing here, I will be headed up.  Need to shave and shower.  Then watch some TV and it will be time once again for bed.  Here’s hoping that the week ahead is good for all and that Riley will be found soon.  Take care, hug and cherish those that you care about.  People and pets are both gone way too soon.  Take care!
