The Weekend

Welcome in …

It’s been overcast here all weekend and it rains on and off.  Light showers and nothing terribly serious. 

I went out for Cat food and the mail yesterday.  Of course it was bone dry until I pulled out of the garage and then the rain drops started falling. 

Kind of an expensive trip to the cat food store but it’s odd that the total came up to the last 4 digits of my late spouses SSN.  It’s probably nothing but I take as he is still watching out for me. 

I came home after that little trip to put the cat food away, open the mail and then kill a little bit of time before I left for the big trip. 

I headed out to the buffet and wow I wished I hadn’t.  The food was horrible this time.  I didn’t eat a whole lot.  Little bit of fried chicken, some pork, awful mashed potatoes, corn and green beans.  I had some Peach Cobbler for desert.  Got a soda to go and then I got on the road to home. 

Got behind a farm implement that was moving slow and a truck behind that that didn’t want to pass.  I played that little game for a short time but once I saw I had a clear shot I pushed down on the pedal and the turbo kicked in and I was flying.  I got up to 110mph before I let off the gas.  This was an old country road and no one was around, it wasn’t the smartest thing to do but it was fun.  That sucked some gas but like I said it was fun.  I got a new app that pairs with my radar detector, the default setting in it is set to 80mph and once it senses you reach that speed it tells you to slow down.  I can change that to any speed I want but it was nice to hear it bark at me. 

Made it home just before 6p and it was starting to get dark.  I came in and got laundry started.  Worked on bills, taming a bit of email and general surfing.  The cats kept me company and as usual Mora couldn’t stay out of my lap for terribly long.  She loves to garner my attention when I am about to start working.

Got the laundry done, went up and made the bed.  Rudy tried to help me.  I was ready for bed and it was only 8p.  I called it and started my shutdown routine.  Rudy acted like he wanted to play but I tried to entertain that and then he wanted nothing to do with it.  Mora wouldn’t budge either, just as well because I was in no mood for it. 

Made it to my chair to relax and about an hour later I was climbing in bed getting ready to pass out. 

Had a nightmare of a dream and woke up at 5a.  I tried to avoid getting up but my bladder said it was time so I took care of it.  Came back to bed.  Rudy was all fired up making his biscuits and doing his dance, thinking he could possibly get some food out of it but I told him we had a couple more hours and then I’d be up.  He laid down and then we both went back to sleep.  I woke up ten minutes earlier than I wanted to and Rudy went back to dancing so he got breakfast. 

I headed out was supposed to make a Target run but it was raining and that just made me push it to next weekend.  I made it to breakfast.  Ate way more than I should have but it was good.  Went to the grocery store.  Saw that my favorite cashier was working.  She is an older lady and her birthday is next month, she told me that weeks ago.  I capitalized on that today and got her a gift card to Cracker Barrel.  She was quite surprised and told me that is more than her husband would do for her.  I told her to enjoy herself.  It was nice to make someone’s day. 

I got a birthday card for my brother it’s kind of sappy, I’m hoping to appeal to him to reach out to me but I’m fairly certain he won’t and that I just wasted my money.  However, it’s the though that counts and it’s more than he did for me on my birthday.  Just letting him know that I am still out here and that I am thinking of him. 

Rudy is passed out in my lap and has been for a couple hours.  His tail beating away on my metal desk drawer sounds like a drum.  He loves to wag that tail when he sleeps in my lap.  He looks so peaceful and sweet.  We had some issues earlier today when he decided to climb up on the kitchen table while I was working on cleaning the water fountain.  For some reason when I work on that both cats seem to go crazy with playing.  Mora is on a chair behind me sleeping away. 

I need to move my laundry to the dryer and head up.  With the weather the way it is today is a perfect day for some Chili and a Burger.  I plan to make a Wendy’s run in about an hour, bring it back home to enjoy with the cats as we start the evening. 

My massage on Friday was okay but as per usual it just stirred things up and I am sore but still have knots.  I need a longer session and on a much more regular basis.  I hear the person before me making an appointment and looks like the therapist is going to work on Friday’s but only during the day.  Last appointment is at 3:30p and that’s not going to work for me.  She said that she was trying to be flexible to meet everyone’s schedules.  I didn’t bother to schedule anything else I’ve got 1 more appointment in a couple weeks on a Wednesday and right now I am unsure if I will keep it.  I kind of hate to stop but at the same time I liked Saturday appointments and she stopped those.  Friday evenings worked perfect and she’s stopping that.  Two price increases in less than a year and I’ve been going to her for at least 3 years.  If she can’t accommodate my schedule then I’ve kind of got no choice but to drop her.  I’m one of a small group of people that are her regulars so you’d think that she would want to keep me as a client.  I’m frustrated over it but it’s not the end of the world.  I could always go buy a car with seats that massage and that would put her ass out of business.  I just don’t want a car payment but I do want the new car. 

Hope it’s been a great weekend for you and that you’ve been able to stay warm in the cooler weather we have been having.  Take care!
