Working

Howdy!  All in all not a horrible day.  I had a hell of a nightmare and woke up with the covers off of me around 5a.  Covered back up and went back to sleep.  Rudy came to sit on me to help comfort me, it worked because I fell asleep.  He was there two hours later when I woke up.  Passed out breakfast for the cats.  Worked on taking my pills and getting dressed. 

Had something new for breakfast.  A Gyro Omelet.  It was just eggs, feta and lamb.  The sauce came on the side and wasn’t that good but it was from a Greek run restaurant.  I got it with French fries because I’m not a fan of breakfast potatoes.  It was good at first but something about warm Feta cheese just turned me off.  I finished it minus a lot of the Feta.  I saw a bus boy show up for work, he looked a little young but he was fine to my eyes.  He sat down and got a bite to eat before he started his shift.  I wanted to use my line on him but I found out that they eat for free so I couldn’t buy his meal.  I’ve got no idea if he’s gay or not but was going to take a chance.  However, that didn’t happen today. 

Took a quick spin through the grocery store.  When I walked in I kept saying remember cough drops.  Damn if I got everything but that.  I didn’t realize I forgot them until I got home.  I was mad but there is no way I am going back out just for those.  I do have some here they just aren’t as strong as I like.  I think probably because they have been sitting for a while.  I’m a Hall’s guy and love the menthol and how they open things up, what I have is Strawberry flavored and like I said very weak.  I suppose it’s better than nothing. 

Got everything put away and settled in to watch some TV.  Not much was on YouTube this morning so I opted to give in and watch Christmas Vacation.  I eventually wound up back in bed and dosed off for about a half hour. 

Once I woke up I got lunch for the cats.  Mora got sick after eating which was not ideal.  I was eating my lunch and it wasn’t that good.  My stomach wasn’t exactly feeling the best but I didn’t toss my cookies. 

Worked on getting my medicine set out as the cats played with each other.  They love to tag each other and run around like they are crazy.  They put a lot of effort into it, sometimes a bit too much.  They do remind me a lot of Momma’s family both the boys and girls used to do things like that to each other.  The house was much more crowded back then. 

Anyway once I was done with getting my meds out I sat for a little it and finished up Christmas Vacation.  Once that was over I got up and started cleaning the house.  Both cats were sleeping but they woke up quickly when the vacuum turned on.  They both watched me with an evil eye.  I didn’t bother either of them and I was surprised they both stayed put because it’s highly unusual. 

After that it was down to the basement.  Time to update finances from all of the spending I did in the am.  Then knowing what a cluster fuck tomorrow is probably going to be and to help ease my anxiety I opted to login and do some work.  I managed to get my mailbox cleaned out.  I was at a good stopping point for about 2 and 1/2 hours worth of work.  I also wrote some reminders and lined out a couple additional things I need to do tomorrow.  While it would be nice for my mistake making colleague who’s wife just had a baby to come back for a day or even two I really don’t expect that to happen so it will all be on me.  There are things going on Thursday & Friday that I should take care of and probably will but I’m not saying anything, I am planning for my PTO and will try my very best for those two days to mostly forget about work.  I wish his wife would have had the kid next month like the doctors anticipated.  I’ve got no doubt that I will make it, there is just a lot to be done and a bunch of moving parts.  I tell myself it’s just two days and that doesn’t help much. 

I did some laundry while I was working.  I took a break to step out for supper.  Just made a Wendy’s run.  I really wanted to grab a pizza and see some buns but a Burger & Chili sounded really good.  I also treated myself to a Frosty which is almost a requirement after you eat Chili.  Rudy climbed up in my lap while I was eating my Frosty and I wound up tossing him out, he actually fell which I didn’t intend on happening.  I was at the table after all and they both know not to bother me.  Damn if Mora didn’t try after Rudy.  I hate to have any animal bug me while I am eating.  I suppose they think I am soft and will eventually give in.  I almost gave Rudy some Ham the other day but I know once you start that it turns into a life long habit so I continue to tell them no and resist regardless of how much they beg and try to bat their eyes at me.  I spend a small fortune on their food I want them to eat it. 

After I was done eating came back down to do my personal browsing and goofing with the computer.  Now that is done and Mora is in my lap she is ready to go upstairs.  I need to grab my laundry and head up.  Like I just told her I will be down here tomorrow for the bulk of the day.  I’m hoping for a calm quiet Monday but since it’s so close to the end of the year everyone is rushing to get stuff done but a lot of people are on vacation as well.

As for my health and this infection that I have.  The worst part is waking up and the first few minutes of the morning as the crap drains from my head.  Once I eat and get moving it’s not too bad but I know that something is off.  I really wish that my gums and teeth would stop hurting.  I know it’s all sinus pressure but I really want to grab the pliers and pull my teeth out.  I won’t but for some reason it seems like that would help.  Hell if I could stick them back in and they would be good as new I would certainly give it a try but I know that’s not how things work.  I’ve got a lot of desire to sit and watch some porn but when I think about sitting and doing it I kind of lose interest.  That’s so not like me.  If things get too bad I can always reach out to the doc but I am trying to let my body do it’s own healing and hopefully I can kick this to the curb sooner rather than later.  Got the fluids going and that helps a ton.  I just hope that I can actually enjoy my time off this week because it will be the last of it until late February which is a long time away. 

Hope all is well in your world.  I am looking forward to getting my iPad tomorrow.  My plan is to grab it as quickly as possible.  I want it inside the house.  While I might not be able to unbox it and set it up right away at least I can rest easy knowing that it’s finally freaking here.  That’s really the only good part about tomorrow. 

I will update you as I am able to.  Saw that Former President Carter passed away today at age 100.  Wow that’s a life well lived, he got to see and do a lot in his 100 years.  Not many people live to that age.  It was sad to discover that news. 

Thanks for stopping by!
