Plans Continue

Morning … I called to make an eye doctor appointment and turns out they are so in demand they are booking for September.  I asked for a Saturday and that put me close to the end of the month.  Like all doctors offices they have a bunch of new patient paperwork.  Thankfully it’s all available on-line and I’ve got it completed.  I picked at it yesterday until I got it completed. 

Booked a facial for the Friday after the doctor.  I got one last year and it felt pretty good.  I also have a coupon that will take $15 off the price and I was able to book with the same person I had last year.  Kind of looking forward to this. 

My Thanksgiving friends reached out to me and they ate at one of the pizza places that I like to travel to.  They remembered that I’ve got a birthday coming up and want to get together to celebrate.  We have everything but the time nailed down and I am just waiting.  It’s a text conversation, which means a lot of back and forth.  I asked about time and now I wait.  I hate texting, just pick up the damn phone you can accomplish so much more plus you get to hear tone of voice which helps to frame things. 

Looks like my little vacation is starting to come together with plans.  I still have time to myself to take the restaurant trips I want to as well as have time to rot or do whatever. 

Next Wednesday I will be doing my happy dance as it will be my Friday and then I get to start my time off and am looking forward to it. 

In other news I am trying some new cereal called Frosted Bran by Kellogg's.  Think of it as Raisin Bran minus the raisins.  Not bad but not exactly full of flavor.  I also don’t go hog wild and have bowl after bowl – for good reason. 

Today is back to school in my neck of the woods.  I saw one of the kids making there way up the street to the bus as I was eating my breakfast.  I used to dread that day now that day happens every Monday when it’s time to go back to work.  I just feel the same sense of dread in that I’ve got to go back there.  Don’t get me wrong I like what I do but working for a living isn’t exactly a picnic or a walk in the park. 

Over the last week or so I’ve got a new sleeping buddy.  Rudy has become a Velcro cat when I am in bed.  He feels the need to not only be in bed but to sleep up against me.  I enjoy his company but would just as soon be all by myself because I get into some strange positions.  This morning I woke up with my neck hurting. 

I watched the Matt Rife new special on Netflix last night.  It’s a crowd work special and he talks about dreams in various forms.  One of which is dreams like in sleeping.  I had the strangest dream last night.  I got a tour of some factory and kept searching for a way out of the place.  It was kind of funny and scary all at the same time and I was barefoot the entire time.  I was happy to finally wake up. 

I did finish the left over Fish and it was actually a little bit better reheated.  I had some Chocolate cake for desert and then just restrained myself the rest of the night even though I wanted more to eat.  Back to pulling from the freezer tonight.  I did skip lunch yesterday, just wasn’t feeling hungry.  I tried to take a nap but between the cats and my phone there was no way I was going to get rest. 

One meeting on the books for today.  It hasn’t been too bad for me being on-call.  Although the week isn’t exactly over with yet.  Were only half way.  Come on weekend!

Hope it’s a great day for you!  Thanks for stopping by and take care.
