Monday afternoon & Tuesday thus far

With the number of crazy drivers, I’m surprised we don’t have more handicapped parking spaces here.  That’s a line that comedian George Wallace uses.  There is a lot of truth in it. 

I stepped out around 11ish to drop off my Cologuard test at the UPS store.  Of course, all of the good parking spots were taken and I had to park in left field and walk a bit.  It’s good for me and I need the exercise.  Walked right in and got helped right away.  Saw a hot guy who works there, wearing grey sweats and he had a boner.  That’s something you don’t see every day. 

Now begins what I believe is the two-to-four-week countdown as I wait for the results to come in.  The package won’t be delivered until tomorrow.  Here’s hoping for good negative results.  Fingers, Toes, and Eyes crossed. :)

For the fun part where I returned to my vehicle and tried to back out so that I could go home.  Damn if every time I turned around there wasn’t someone flying in the parking lot.  I just sat on the brakes until eventually I got a clear shot and then I took it.  Zoomed back home and the cats greeted me like it was time for food.  I just set lunch out for them before I left.  No way am I going to set out more food. 

Fixed myself some lunch.  Ham & Turkey sandwich with a little lite mayo and a slice of cheese on Rye Bread.  Rudy stood on his hind legs and begged for me to give some to him as I was fixing it.  There is no doubt that his nose works overtime.  It’s also why I say that one of their previous owners had to feed them human food.  Hey I’d like to give in and give them a treat once and a while but you give them a little bit and they will always be asking and expecting it.  It’s a bad habit and I much prefer they eat the food I bought for them and let me eat my food.  I don’t have good stuff that often and when I do I want to enjoy it. 

Watched some YouTube and watched the snow fall.  We got more than was anticipated but it still doesn’t really amount to anything but it’s sloppy enough to create a mess with traffic and the occasional slip & fall.  Looking forward to the warm up on Wednesday even though it’s only a one-day event and then were back in the freezer. 

After a while I got sleepy and lazy so I went to take a nap.  It only lasted 30 minutes but Mora was next to me and I had my arm wrapped around her.  Rudy was in between my legs all curled up.  What a great way to spend time.  If only I didn’t have my phone pestering me. 

That break that I was hoping to take earlier this morning lasted like 5 minutes and then I was right back down here because something came in and next thing, I know an hour had passed.  It was one thing after another. 

Stouffers Spaghetti and a little bit of chocolate cake was my supper. A few hours later I wrangled both cats and brushed them and trimmed their claws. Neither of them liked the claw trimming part but they sure love the brushing. Just a lazy night watching TV on the couch as Rudy snuggled up to me.

Got ready for today, played with the cats and then time for a shave and shower. It seemed to take forever for my sleeping meds to kick in but by 11p I was out and had a pretty good nights sleep. Woke up a couple times from dreams but was able to fall right back to sleep. Rudy made his biscuits at 6:30a I told him last night twice that I was getting up at 7a. He tends to go by the light going on in the living room. Perhaps I need to adjust the timer. I stayed in bed as long as he would let me which was about 10 minutes and then I had to get up. The only good thing about this was that I had some extra cuddle time for Mora to get in a good bed rub and sit in my lap.

Got some surprising news this morning a long-time colleague that I worked with since the day I started this job is no longer working with us. It’s really sad, he went out of his way each year to send a gift to each of us and it was something that a lot of us looked forward to. I honestly don’t care about the gift I am more interested if he is okay. Thinking of phoning him a bit later in the day just to say that it was great to work with him and I hope things are okay. Yeah, I want to know what happened but I’m not going to be rude and ask like most people do. If he volunteers information that is another thing. His team got a new boss and she is a complete bitch. She micro-manages every little thing and is responsible for more than one person leaving or being asked to leave. While I don’t know this particular former co-worker’s situation it wouldn’t surprise me if she had something to do with him leaving. I know that were going to lose a lot of good people because of her and until she is gone the bleeding won’t stop for that team. She is the kind of person who would throw anyone family, friend or stranger under a bus just to save her own ass. She’s a real piece of work and I tread lightly around her. I’ve actually managed to show her what kind of a person I am and how hard I work so I’d like to think I am on her good side but I take that with a grain of salt.

It's a very busy Tuesday all of a sudden. Tomorrow looks to be a calmer day and I do hope that is the case. I still plan on going in to the office, despite not really wanting to because of getting up super early and driving in and home. It’s like a huge time suck and a waste of money but I do need to be seen and let people know that I am still among the living and not just off in cyberspace.

Here’s hoping it’s a great day for you. Stay warm and take care!
