Frustrated

Morning … Hope you had a good weekend!  My supper plan yesterday worked out well.  There seemed to be a lot less people and when I looked at the menu I found out why.  They had the same Fried Chicken Special but it’s no longer all you can eat.  I got it and it wasn’t bad, not as good as times past but still not bad. 

The manager there is a relative of my late spouse.  We have talked for years.  While I was there I asked to speak with her and she came out.  We started a conversation and in the middle of it she saw people behind me that she knew and just mid conversation walked away and sat down with those people and started a conversation.  I finished my meal and waited painfully until my waitress came by at which point I asked for the check and paid.  I never turned around just got up and walked out.  I wanted to turn around and say something but what good would it do?  Looks like I ate my last meal there.  I mean if you don’t want to talk to me just say so, no need to be rude and just walk away mid-conversation.  She’s always been the type of person that sees something shiny and gets distracted.  I’m sure she isn’t losing any sleep over it.  This is the second time this has happened.  I was quite upset by this. 

Came home and then the old computer decided to start giving me problems.  I had a couple of simple tasks that I wanted to complete but didn’t get to them because I was constantly rebooting.  When things finally stabilized I went upstairs and about my evening.  This morning I come down to login and damn I had to reboot again and it took me a half hour before I was able to login to work.  I am digging into what is going on but at least it’s working at the moment. 

Got quite a surprise this morning when I opened the back door curtain.  I saw our usual ground hog and there was a baby groundhog.  Damn looks like I got two of them now.  In looking on the web it appears that a litter of ground hogs is usually 2 to 6 babies which are born blind and hairless.  They disperse in the fall.  Not sure if that means that the youngster will leave home then.  Pregnancy only lasts one month, I’ll bet there are many women that are envious of that.  All I know is that I was well happy with one groundhog, he’s been here for years.  I don’t want anymore.  Apparently the life span is 3 to 6 years in the wild but they have been known to live 14 years in captivity.  They are kind of cute but I have no intention of keeping them as pets.  That’s what I’ve got the 2 cats for.  I didn’t know but Groundhogs are part of the squirrel family. 

Both of the groundhogs gave the cats quite a show.  I think if I could have quietly opened the door that Mora would have taken off after at least one of them.  Rudy probably would have followed her not knowing what he was chasing after.  However, we will never ever know because there is no way in the world I plan to let either of them outside. 

I’ve got a bit of work to do today but largely it’s another quiet day where I will be able to get some rest in.  Tomorrow is back to the office and I don’t look forward to that at all but hopefully I will be able to leave early.  It’s a super hot day out today and tomorrow looks to be the same.  Then we start the cool down on Wednesday. 

Here’s hoping that I can be happier quickly.  I hate frustrations despite the fact they are just part of life.  I at least hope it’s a good day for you!  Take care.
