Back to home

Well I left at just the right time yesterday before all hell broke loose.  On my way home my phone was blowing up and I could tell by the number of emails that something clearly was wrong.  Thankfully bossman was on top of it.  There was a conference call to join but obviously I wasn’t there.  I just let him run with it and watched as it played out.  He never said a word about where was I or asked me any questions.  I’m guessing he figured I was busy and well that was accurate in that I couldn’t take my eyes off the road. 

The cats were both pleased as punch to see me.  They left me a couple of presents that I had to clean up.  Later in the evening Mora managed to gore me with her back claws right in the nuts.  That’s the second time that’s happened so I trimmed her back claws last night and she absolutely hated it and fought me the whole way.  Much like the front claws I just take the tip off and yeah I know in a matter of hours they have them all sharpened back up.  Rudy doesn’t like points on his back claws and chews them off.  It sounds like he’s eating Cheetos so I refer to it as Cheeto time.  I wish that Mora would have some Cheeto time to help save my skin.  Although to be fair Rudy has done his share of damage to me.  The other morning he made biscuits on my belly and he had points on his front claws.  My belly has itched for days since.  He’s usually pretty careful about the claws but once he gets going and is super happy he looses control. 

Much to my surprise I didn’t ever seem to run out of energy and just drop like I was expecting.  However I was tired by bed time, just didn’t go down so easy.  Sleep was a bit better but I had some nightmare and had problems talking.  IRL I was biting my tongue so it’s a bit sore this morning.  I woke up in the middle of the night and I felt absolutely horrible.  However, despite the morning being a little rough I feel okay at the moment.  My nose was really bothering me at work and I was convinced by the time I got home that someone gave me something I didn’t want. 

Grass mowers came yesterday and this time they did a better job blowing off my front porch.  I still love looking at my clean concrete sidewalk.  I know it won’t stay clean forever but I’m just proud of my work.  Hopefully next time I learn to do the work in waves so as to not put so much stress on my back.  Who knows though my memory isn’t ripe as it was when I was 20. 

Work is all calm at the time I am writing this, although it won’t post for a few hours.  My day is clear of meetings and I’ve only really got one task to complete.  I am going to head up and probably take a nap, at least a break from the damn computer.  I’ll come back after lunch and complete that.  Of course I have to watch to see if anything urgent pops so no one knows I am AFK (Away From Keyboard). 

Found a group on social media last night that reviews locally owned restaurants.  People post photos and describe their food as well as the atmosphere.  Me thinks it’s going to give me some places to visit, especially when vacation time rolls around.  I might not go anywhere on a formal vacation but I will be traveling a few hours from home eating some good food if all goes well.  That will permit me to see new things and go new places. 

I hope your having a great day and all is well.  Thanks as usual for stopping by.  Take care!
