I woke up early again this morning and was able to go back to sleep for a bit. Got up a little after my normal time. Rudy made sure of that. I passed out breakfast for the cats and both of them were ready and waiting. That is a rare thing but I like to see it. Normally Rudy eats first and then Mora moves in for her turn. As long as they are both eating it makes me happy. I remember all too well what it's like to watch a cat look at food and then just walk away, it's heart breaking.
Anyway, I got ready and headed out for breakfast. I went to a place that I used to frequent. A lot has changed there. One of my all-time favorite dishes that was a special finally made it to the menu to stay. It's a breakfast pizza made with Garlic naan bread, scrambled eggs, potatoes and cheese. They used to serve it with a side of gravy in case you wanted extra and some spicy ranch. The sauces were there but they changed spicy ranch to angry ranch. I tried it and man it was just too hot for me. I used to gulp that stuff down like it was going out of style but not today. I had a good time and really enjoyed my meal.
Off to the grocery store afterwards and that was a quick stop. I think it was 15 minutes and I managed to cover the store, pay and back to the car. I opted not to go for a car wash it had rained earlier this morning and honestly the car looks fine. I also elected to not stop for gas. I have more than enough to make it several hundred miles and that will cover me, no sense in topping off the tank.
Back home to unload and get everything put away. Got out of my clothes and into my recliner to watch YouTube videos. Found some car repair videos that looked interesting. One a lady's daughter took her car to a friend to try to save money and it wound up being way more expensive. The friend didn't know what he was doing and drained the transmission fluid instead of the oil and tried to put oil back in the transmission. Never bothered to change the oil filter. Knew enough to tell her not to start the car, to have it towed to a shop. That's where the camera caught it. Lucky break they changed the oil. Filled and flushed the transmission twice and all was well. That's the second oil change horror story of the week. My boss went to a quick lube place this week, they put on the wrong size filter, mind you that the manager took care of his car. On his way home the oil exploded in the engine cabin and went he got home and turned the car off the rest of the oil drained on his driveway. He took it back since it was super close to home, not sure how he made it there with so little oil in the car. They made it right and he walked home to clean up his driveway. Moral of the story stay away from quick lube places or friends who don't know what they are doing. I've had issues with quick lube places before and I just simply won't go there it's not worth the risk or the money. If you have had better luck and love them, great glad it works for you.
Got my cuddle time in with both cats and wound up taking a nap. Rudy curled up next to me and purred away while he drifted off to sleep, that was enough to make me drowsy just watching him sleep.
After nap time I got lunch for us. Mine was two White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies and a Sprite Zero. Not exactly what you would envision for lunch but it was good. Worked on putting my meds out and then cleaning the house. Got more laundry tossed in and waiting to move it over to the dryer. Need to bring the vacuum down here and that won't make Mora happy, she's napping in the chair behind me right now. If I leave the door to the basement open, she usually is pretty close to me. She has to have attention and nags me a lot but I try to get that out of the way from the start so I can have some peace to surf, pay bills, etc.
Regarding my neck, last night I found that antibiotic gel from a couple months ago. There isn't a whole lot left. However, I put some on and wow it seemed to really help. I woke up this morning and my neck was fine but my face was itching. I haven't shaved yet so that explains that. I put another dose on this morning. I plan to use up all of this stuff that I have left in the hopes that I wipe out whatever this is. I suspect it's Barbers Rash or Barbers Itch aka Folliculitis barbae. That's what the gel was prescribed for. However, my neck has never peeled before unless I had a sunburn. I still have some red bumps more rash type looking stuff and redness to my skin. I've been fighting to get rid of this for months and it's bothered me for over a year. All of this started with a neck shave not done by my usual barber. I'm pretty certain I will wind up in a dermatologists' office if this continues. If I can at least quell the worst of it with what little gel I have left and stop the skin peeling I'll be slightly happy.
Speaking of last night I watched scene #2 from Falcon (Men at Play) To the Nines with Grant Ducati and John Brachalli. I am a huge Grant Ducati fan. He looks good and makes some of the greatest faces to express himself. I wasn't really about the clothes ripping but it was kind of a hot scene. He's got one more scene in the movie and it's a group scene, I am eager to watch it.
That's pretty much it. Just waiting until it's time to go back out for supper. The relaxation theme continues but it will all be over with way too soon. Hope you have a great day. Talk with you all again soon!
