In The Middle Again

Happy middle of the week again!  Two more days to go after today.  Had some amazing pasta from Rao’s last night.  It was more like Mostaccioli but they called it something different and it was made with spicy Italian Sausage.  For a frozen dish this was superb!  I only wish their portions were a bit larger.  I plan to keep buying this brand as they produce good quality.  Having their lasagna tonight and looking forward to it. 

I decided to make some filter adjustments in the dating app and removed that I wanted a LTR.  Wow that changed things for me.  I suddenly had a bunch of guys to choose from.  Thus far still no matches or decent prospects.  I just don’t think I’m going to meet anyone from an app.  It matters not if I give them money or not.  Of course I think that if you don’t pay their are bots or models that target you to try to entice you into paying.  I still think my best shot will happen when I am in public.  It would be awesome if a guy would ask me out but that’s never happened.  I’m always the one asking and getting shot down.  I know woe is me.  I know I’m not the only person in the world this has happened to but it is not any fun. 

More storms pushed into the area.  It all started with high winds.  That drove the cats crazy to hear the wind blowing heavy, their ears perked up more than once and it even woke them from one of their many naps.  As the evening was winding down I was getting into the shower when the rain started falling.  Apparently things got worse overnight but by the looks of things this morning you can’t tell the difference. 

I had some hot sex dream that involved my late spouse.  Kind of crazy considering he’s been gone for many years.  I do dream about him but this was the first sex dream with him in a very long while.  I felt semi-lucid, it was just an odd but hot experience.  Reality always slaps me in the face when I wake up with the truth that I am alone and I hate when that happens.  This dream happened after my insomnia kicked in at 3a and I was up for a while just tossing and turning in bed.  Rudy kept me company but wouldn’t snuggle with me.  He put the tip of his paw on my hand and that’s all I remember before I was back in dream land. 

Needless to say I woke up feeling a bit strange and not wanting to get out of bed.  However, between the sunshine in my eyes and Rudy moving about the bed making biscuits I just had to get up.  I’ve never in my life seen a cat so happy in the morning.  I don’t know if it’s breakfast that he enjoys so much or if it’s just seeing me alive and awake again.  It’s kind of tough to stay in a bad mood in the morning with him around. 

Breakfast was over and Rudy was still all keyed up, he wanted to play.  He got aggressive with me and I gave it right back to him.  He didn’t quite know what to do with that.  I was able to get dressed and down my morning pills.  About that time the Lawn Guys showed up it was just after 7a that’s pretty early to mow.  I’m sure some of my neighbors got the rude wake up call.  I know it wouldn’t make me happy to get woken up that way but I do suppose there are worse wake up calls.  I grabbed my water bottle and shoved off to the basement.  Rudy got in a couple more licks before I finally headed down.  He’s just a ball of energy sometimes. 

I had to go back up after about 15 minutes to use the restroom.  Both cats were waiting for me.  By now the lawn guys were gone and I opened the blinds so the cats can have a free view of the back yard.  I headed back down and resumed working. 

I had made it through my morning tasks and was surfing the web to fill time.  Some works stuff came in and I had just switched back to start on it, when I heard the cats going at it upstairs.  Mora loves to scream when Rudy attacks her.  For some reason he loves to back her into a corner and that’s when the claws come out.  I quickly headed up and Rudy met me at the top of the steps.  His tail was all fluffed out and I picked him up and asked him what he did in a stern voice.  He just looked at me with this evil look on his face.  As if I was going to attack him.  I set him down and then went to check on Mora.  She was fine just pissed.  I got everyone calmed down and told them to behave.  I guess that’s how Rudy got rid of his morning energy.  They go at it a couple times over the course of a week.  I suppose it’s just sibling rivalry.  They can be the best of friends or the worst of enemies.  Most of the time they exist peacefully but it’s never totally dull around here unless they are both sleeping. 

Some work poured in this morning and I was able to delegate it, that felt good.  It’s not like I wanted to work today.  I’ve already got something in the hopper to take care of.  One dumb meeting just before lunch and hopefully it will remain silent or semi-silent, fingers crossed. 

Looking forward to getting through today and hopefully enjoying a nice peaceful evening.  Hope you can do the same.  Take care!
