Busy

Morning!

Yesterday was off to a great start but my boss called me, it was for something trivial.  Ever since that call things managed to pick up.  Lots of strange/odd things plus lots more regular work.  I was able to put some of that off until this morning.  However, no sooner than I got caught up more stuff has come in.  I’m caught up now but who knows how long that will last for.  I hate bursts of work where it goes from total quiet to absolute chaos, but yet I manage. 

One thing that helps me concentrate, which I actually find odd is instrumental music.  I’ve got my Pandora client open and am listening to a station called Acoustic Alchemy.  They are a group that I cam across years ago.  This is the right mix of music to get me productive.  It also helps me relax.  It’s a good change up from regular Rock and Roll.  I can’t listen to Pop or Rock while I work, it makes me hyper and my heat feels like it’s going to jump out of my chest.  I’ve tried it numerous times to no avail.  Oddly enough Easy Listening music was my grandmothers favorite music, she listened to it all the time.  I take a lot after her and see her image in me.  Shame she passed at such a young age, she never got to see the man I have become.  I was telling Mora the other day that I think grandma would have liked her, despite the fact she hated cats.  She was a dog person. 

I was pretty bored yesterday and scrambling to find something to watch on TV, it was a never ending search.  I would land on a short video and it would be done, time to move on to something else.  I need a good series that I can follow.  Ever since I finished Home Improvement I am in search of my next watch. 

Things got so bad at 7:30p I called it a night.  I put the dishes away, got ready for today.  Shaved, took a shower.  The cats passed out on the couch and they didn’t seem to miss me.  I retired to my bedroom to watch TV.  I watched the latest Kathleen Madigan Special on Amazon again.  Climbed into bed and by 10p I was passed out. 

Had a strange dream involving my mom, grandfather and grandmother.  It was horrible and I was happy to finally wake up.  Rudy was on top of me passed out.  I had to wake him up so I could get out of bed and make it the bathroom.  Then back to bed and Rudy climbed back on top of me.  Like I am going to vanish.  I really admire his loyalty and the affection he provides, its unparalleled to any cat I’ve had before.  He knows who butters his bread and he shows his appreciation. 

2 Meetings on tap for today.  Glad I am not on-call this week, it’s been really busy.  I think that might be the new trend, I know I’m gonna hate it next week but a week does go by pretty fast once you get into it. 

Had Potato Soup last night for supper, man it was good.  I should have paired it with a sandwich or bought a second serving of soup.  I honestly didn’t expect to like it as much as I did.  I’ll dig in the freezer for dinner tonight.  Soup will most likely be my lunch.  Thinking Broccoli Cheddar.  It’s the right weather for soup or chili. 

Stay warm, take care and be well.  Talk with you all again soon!
