Easter

Morning, I hope that you had a good Easter and a great weekend!  I never left the house yesterday.  I wanted to but there was a threat of hail and severe weather along with a Tornado Watch.  Turns out it was all peaceful weather and I could have left but when it comes to hail I don’t like to take risks. 

Had I left I would have just gone to a restaurant as per usual for supper.  I sat around waiting for my friends to reach out with a time to come over but that never happened.  I didn’t call because well if you wanted me there you would have called, texted, sent an email.  Speaking of which I sent an email this morning asking if they were okay and turns out he thought he had told me the time but realized by my email that wasn’t the case.  I don’t buy it but it’s plausible.  The more I thought about our so called friendship it’s kind of one sided in that I am the one that is always reaching out and initiating contact.  Rarely if ever do they reach out to me.  Seems like this might just be the wake up call I needed.  Doesn’t mean that I won’t go to future events if invited but I am not begging or asking. 

I had a sneaking feeling that this was going to be the case because it’s happened before.  That’s why I got a carry out of BBQ.  That is what I had and it was damn good.  Rudy begged me for some Turkey but I didn’t give in.  At least I had a good meal even if it was all alone.  I had a great joke (in my opinion) that I was dying to tell but looks like they won’t hear it.

That old co-worker that said she was going to reach out also didn’t bother.  I knew that would be the case.  I’m done checking on her just let her flail in the wind.  Good riddance!

The other day I managed to get some ketchup in my eye, the doctor told me now that I have Heinz-site. 

We had some serious severe weather last night and of all of the times for me to jump in the shower I picked the time that happened.  I had the police scanner going and I learned that Tornado sirens were going off in cities close by so I went as fast as I could just to get clean and get out.  I wanted to open the door so I could see the cats as well as hear if our sirens went off.  Don’t you know as soon as I got out and opened the door our sirens were going off.  We had spend the bulk of the weekend in the basement and no way was I going back unless it was absolutely necessary.  I turned on TV and looked at local weather and there was a possibility but no imminent threat.  Rudy glued himself to the top of the love seat and wouldn’t move.  Mora came in my room with me and jumped in bed. That is after I got dried off and brushed my teeth.  We watched local TV for a while but eventually I just wanted to turn off the noise and relax.  This weather I thought would be the greatest test if my repairs have solved the water issue.  There was sheets of blinding rain it was hard and fast from what I saw at the window. 

I am pleased to report this morning that the basement is bone dry.  Just the way I want it to stay forever. 

Back to work this morning and it’s a semi-holiday so things I hope will be quiet.  I am on-call.  The boss took today off.  I don’t look forward to the week ahead but I will make it somehow.  I can tell you come next week when my older co-worker comes in I won’t be helping out he’s going to suffer like I have.  I will take stuff that I know falls in my prevue but none of this looking out for the team BS that I have been doing.  I am so ready for a break but I can already tell you that it’s going to get much worse before it ever gets better.  Just have to make it through the Month of May and then come June things should relax and go back to a more of what I know as “normal” as we should have a full staff again. 

Well here we go with the week, let’s hope it’s a good one for all of us!  Take care and I hope you are doing well.
