Yay–Friday

Morning and welcome in!

Hope your doing well.  Made it to another Friday.  Thursday wasn’t a bad day just a long day.  Saw the Orange Tabby Cat stopped by for a quick daytime visit.  No one saw it but me and that’s thanks to the camera or I would have missed it too.  Chicken Pot Pie for supper, which was good but the crust didn’t crisp up despite adding 30 additional seconds.  Looks like next time I will cook it for the full 10 minutes.  It was red hot when I pulled it out and I can only imagine 30 additional seconds will make it more lava like but if it crisps the crust then it’s worth it. 

Watched a special I found on YouTube from over the pond about Air Fryers and their dangers.  Turns out that if you have an Air Fryer you should treat it like a toaster and unplug it when it’s not in use.  Plus they need plenty of space for air to circulate around them, so don’t back up against a wall.  Use little oil and don’t cram the basket full.  I don’t own an Air Fryer but found the news insightful and helpful as I have been looking at getting one for a couple years just haven’t spent the money.  Cost isn’t the issue it’s where in the world would I put it and would I actually use it or would it be much like my iPad that I just had to have that spends the bulk of it’s time sitting idle on the couch.  That’s why I haven’t made the move but I would love to try some air fried food like French Fries or Onion Rings maybe even a Sandwich.  Wonder what reheated Pizza would taste like? 

I often don’t know what to watch on YT and venture down rabbit holes some are interesting and others not so much.  It’s quite interesting and like social media it learns what you like and puts videos up that you might be interested in along with videos from channels you subscribe to.  Paying for no commercials was a great move for me because they are incredibly frustrating for the amount of YT that I watch. 

Spent plenty of time with both cats.  Played with Rudy last night, it was short lived  Mora wasn’t in the mood.  Once I settle in my room for the night is when they play alone and make noise.  Like they are wearing themselves out from the nap they just took so they can sleep through the night.  They are awake more at night than one would think but they do spend a good portion of their lives sleeping.  Still got my eye on Rudy but I think he might have just been having a couple off days.  Cats are the masters at disguise and while that can be good it’s not when it comes to their health.  Really wish they could talk English, we would have so many conversations but I would mostly enjoy hearing how they feel.  We still have conversations but do either of us really know what the other is trying to say?  Sometimes yes and other times no. 

My morning started off a little busy but I have managed to catch up and hopefully the rest of the day is smooth sailing.  At least I can hope.  No meetings just waiting around to see what rolls in. 

Worked on my back last night with my massage gun and my Back Knobber.  It’s a large purple S shaped tool that has round points on the ends so you can dig into muscle knots.  I got it many years ago off Amazon at the recommendation of my original massage therapist.  I’m a little sore today.  Rudy looked at me like I was waving a toy in front of his face but I assured him it was no toy.  This tool hardly replaces hands on work from a massage therapist but if you have a knot that is bugging you this will help work it out.  I’ve got an eStim machine and planning on using it today to help further give my back some work.  It’s much more beneficial to schedule a massage, if you can get the right person to do the job.  I’d love a nice relaxing massage but that would do nothing for muscle knots, so I have to go for torture therapy aka Deep Tissue.  Shame I can’t teach the moves to Mora and Rudy, then I could hire them out and they could earn their keep.  Hey I can dream. 

No real plans for the weekend other than the usual grabbing a bite to eat and hitting up the grocery store.  Thinking of visiting friends but I will probably be too lazy come morning so I will just loaf.  Next week is my last week of not being on-call and I have a haircut booked for early on Saturday morning so that would be a better time to make the trip to see friends plus I will already be out of the house.  We shall see. 

Hope that your weekend is great and enjoyable.  Can’t believe how close we are to Thanksgiving.  Saw an ad for Ruth Chris Steakhouse they serve a 3 course meal that looks delicious, but then again don’t all food ads look that way?  I’m planning on joining my friends as I usually do despite nothing being formalized yet I know that it was in the works from the way they talked last month. 

Talk with you again soon.  Be well.
