Waiting

Good Morning,

No Mexican food for me, the place was closed.  I went to a different Mexican place and they too were closed.  Wound up eating BBQ again at the same place I was at on Sunday night.  It was just as good but service was horrible and it took forever to get my food.  It wasn’t just me I saw other people waiting and it looks like they spread their wait staff thin.  The place was packed. 

I saw an older lady eating by herself and my little voice whispered to me, I wound up buying her meal.  Of course as luck would have it she didn’t like magic tricks but I still told her that I paid her bill.  She scream like I just set her on fire and some folks were looking at me.  She asked why I paid her bill.  I told her that it’s just something I do, I pick people at random.  I got a thanks and God Bless you.  Hey I figured that I was eating alone and she was eating alone.  Might as well make her day with the surprise.  I get a thrill out of doing it and the reactions from people, since I truly do pick them at random.  I only do it when I feel like it and it feels like the right thing to do.  If I did that every time I went out I’d easily be broke by now.  My hope is that people will pay it forward and return the kind deed to a stranger and that it starts a chain reaction. 

What I didn’t like is that I wasn’t prompted to enter my phone number when I paid for loyalty points, apparently the waitress programmed in her phone number and she was racking up the points, but I didn’t realize that until I got home.  Looks like she will get $5 off of her next meal because of my kindness. 

Came home much later than I wanted to but still had plenty of time.  Opted to just take out the trash and take care of the litter boxes.  No need to vacuum, it can easily wait a week. 

Logged my spending and grabbed my computer glasses, we were all back upstairs and ready for treat time.  I passed treats out and then went to close up the basement.  Then surfed social media on my phone and that was a time suck.  I didn’t let it get out of hand.  I went back to writing for a bit.  That is until Rudy came over and sat in my lap on top of the pad I was writing on.  It was as if he was saying your done now, pay attention to me.  He just curled up and went to sleep.  I watched a little TV and once he woke up from his nap, we played a little bit then he got up and walked over to his bed and loafed.  I was able to continue writing for a bit. 

Trimmed claws and brushed both cats. Had some ice cream, got ready for bed and then I relaxed until my sleeping medicine kicked in, which was around 11p.  Climbed in bed and Mora curled up with me and it was off to dream land I went. 

Rudy was good about waking me up early this morning, he got a jump on things and tried at 5a but I told him we still had an hour.  I gave in 5 minutes early and got up.  We all got breakfast.  Then I got my shower and got dressed.  Rudy got him some fresh water from the tub as I was getting dressed. 

I made it out the door and to the office with time to spare.  Traffic was a little hectic this morning but not terrible.  I hope now that school is out that it’s a bit lighter when I am coming home.  Time will tell.

Knocked out one problem when I got here.  Hoped that the electrician would should up early but I’m still waiting on him and were closer to lunch time now.  I’ve got a meeting to go to in a bit, once that wraps if I don’t hear anything I will call for an update.  I’d sure like to leave early again if I can and hope that I don’t get stuck in traffic because I had to wait around.  My day is pretty much wide open since I am not on-call and don’t have any projects pending. 

Planning on trying another brands Lasagna tonight just to see how it is.  I really hope that I like it.  It’s pretty much pasta all week long and I’m not upset with that at all.  3 more days and this week will be done!

Take care!
