Last night as I was prepping for bed the storms were rolling into the area. It was windy all day long and it was quite obvious that a storm was brewing. The weather radio went off and that scared the cats. It also scared me. My cell phone went off with an alert and that always scares me. Instead of watching some new porn I watched the weather and flipped between the local stations as I normally do when there is a weather event like this. We had a tornado headed in our direction but it passed, just high winds, hail and lots of rain. The weather sirens were set off. I felt my sleeping meds starting to kick in and try as I might there was no fighting it. We were out of danger and I just crawled into bed and gave up. Turned on the white noise machine and the cats stayed with me.
I woke up around 3:15a just because and had to use the bathroom. I looked outside and everything looked normal to me, which I am thankful for. Used the bathroom and went back to bed. Then I woke up again around 5a. I watched some TV and by the time I got back to sleep Rudy was waking me up because it was time for breakfast (7a)
Hauled myself out of bed and passed out breakfast for the cats. Then I sat up for a bit and watched TV. It was around 8:30a when I got drowsy and opted to go back to bed. I woke up again at 10:30a and then got my breakfast.
Had a Bob Evans Blueberry Pancake, Sausage, Egg and Cheese sandwich. I poured on some Blueberry syrup and that was delicious. It was a bit larger sandwich than I had expected. However, it didn’t fill me up so I ate one left over Cinnamon Roll Pop Tart that was good but I was still hungry. Finished a left over 1/2 slice of White Chocolate Raspberry cake and then I called it. I wasn’t stuffed to the gills but I was satisfied.
Time for morning meds and then back to the chair to take in more TV until the sugar from breakfast wore off and I went back to sleep with the cats. Had to wake up Rudy and move him so I could climb back into bed. He wasn’t happy but he moved and got settled again.
I love days when I can do nothing. Despite being on-call there has been no bothering thus far from work and I hope that continues for the remainder of the weekend. Just being lazy and free is great for me and quite relaxing. I really needed a day like this after the hellish week I have had.
Got up and moving around 3:30p had a shower and had to pass out early supper for the cats because Rudy was hungry. I left and headed for my favorite Mexican restaurant. I tried to think of other places to go but nothing sounded quite as appealing. Service was horrible kind of like the last time I was there but this time was a bit worse. I got there around 4:15p just when the crowds were starting to pour in and they just weren’t staffed properly.
Ate my meal and saw a really good looking guy. He looked to be with a girlfriend or wife. He headed for the bathroom and that was one of the times that I wished I had the courage to follow him and hit on him, but I didn’t. I just let the fantasy play out in my head, that is for sure safer but not quite as hot. Paid my bill and headed off to grab the mail before coming home.
I am working on laundry which I should have been doing earlier today but hey it’s okay I’ve got time. The cats aren’t happy with me but that will be short lived.
I did brush both of them last night and trim claws. Mora got mad and snapped but didn’t bite me. Rudy tried to bite me. I try to move quickly because I know both of them have a low tolerance for me messing with their nails. Rudy I think picked up the behavior of snapping and biting from his sister as she has done it a few times. There are times when Rudy just lets me go and doesn’t do anything. When I am done most of the time they both just want to get away from me and I am okay with that. Mora for the first time just hung around me and soaked in all of the attention she could.
The only issue with sleeping all day is that I know I will probably have trouble sleeping tonight. For that reason I limited myself to one soda with my meal. I am drinking cold water now, love that stuff and can’t get enough of it. Especially after hitting this particular Mexican place because of the high salt content I ingest. They tried to give me a soda to go but I declined. The way soda prices are in restaurants today I normally do not decline a soda to go. Kind of wish I would have asked for an ice water to go, that would have been really good on the way home.
Need to get up early tomorrow to get my usual errands out of the way. Then I can come home and lounge for a bit and savor that as well as going back to bed for a bit if I want. Then it will be time to get up and get moving with cleaning and probably more laundry.
I already have breakfast planned out. I am getting a Strawberry Waffle with 3 scrambled eggs. Been looking forward to this all week long ever since last weekend when I saw the guy behind me eating the same thing. The waffle looks so good and it reminds me of Huddle House which is a Waffle House knock off. We used to have them in the area but the one we had closed up years ago. They had the best Strawberry Waffles and we used to go there all the time – it was good food and cheap. Probably not the best nutrition but it was some good eating!
Not looking forward to “being on my own” next week with my colleague out on his leave. However, I am hopeful that it won’t be horrible. I am planning on trying to actually make it in the office one day but that will depend largely on my attitude.
Hope your weekend is good thus far and that it continues as we roll into Sunday. Thanks for stopping by, talk with you all again soon!
