Only Wednesday

Morning – Had an average, typical evening.  YouTube hiccupped and for some reason I had problems getting into my account to watch videos.  About that time I got an email from Netflix letting me know that a comedy special I flagged for a reminder was on.  I watched that, it was Sommore’s latest special Chandelier Fly.  I got a few laughs out of it.  When it was done I was able to get back into my YouTube account.  Strange how that all worked out but I’m glad it did. 

Played with the cats before bed.  Both of them were interested.  Rudy was waiting for me in my bathroom which is a bit odd but hey I went with it.  They both had a good time, maybe for not as long as they wanted to but I think it was enough to put a smile on their face and remind them that I care about them. 

Strange dreams last night.  Woke up at 5a and never really got back to sleep.  Rudy was no where near my bed and I was kind of happy to be able to enjoy it all alone.  That only lasted for about an hour and around 6a he joined me.  He knew I was awake but I got him to settle down and lay flat on me.  It’s one of the best feelings and I’m glad he does it. 

Saw an alert on my phone that I had motion on the deck, I wake up to those alerts every morning.  I figured it was the Raccoon.  Nope this time it was a Skunk and it looked pretty young.  All while with just a small black stripe down it’s back.  Glad it walked away.  I’ve got a feeling I’m going to smell more Skunk spray.  Never seen a Skunk on camera.  It’s eye opening to what goes on all the time once you put up a camera.  You catch people, pets and wild animals all the time.  I was so against it for the longest time but now I’m glad I have them.  Wish I had more and they were wired as opposed to battery operated, charging and changing batteries does get old. 

Work is moving along.  I’m holding strong on not taking work that is typically handled by the person who is on-call, unless it’s something dire.  I want my boss to pull his weight.  The mistake maker is kissing his ass and taking a lot of the things that come up.  He also gets assigned some things and while I am a little disappointed that I’m not leaned on a bit more I am also glad at the same time.  I do plenty.  Last night I saw something that needed urgent attention and I knew by the time my boss got around to looking at his phone it would be hours later, so I jumped in and took care of it.  Hours later I got a thank you email from him.  I still have my moments of wanting to quit – tired of my boss and his BS.  I realize it could be so much worse.  Every job has BS and there is stuff that is just beyond my control.  Kind of like life.  I’ve got 2 meetings today one in a few hours and then another one just after lunch.  Here’s hoping it’s an uneventful day. 

Found out in browsing yesterday that we lost our Wendy’s they abruptly closed, took the sign down and everything.  It sucks but I am not totally shocked, quality there had been going down hill for a while.  I’d order Chili and not get crackers or the hot sauce packet.  There are other Wendy’s around just have to travel a bit further if I get a craving.  Glad I found that chili at the store because that’s something I crave the most.  Don’t get the Wendy’s canned chili in the grocery store, it’s horrible and tastes nothing like Wendy’s chili.  TRUST ME, I learned that one the hard way. 

We have warmer weather today, supposed to be in the 70’s today and the same tomorrow but the rapid warm up will bring storms and the threat of severe weather.  I’m sure it will be the first of some scary weather as we inch closer to Spring.  I know it’s going to be hot in here and I will probably want to turn on the AC but I won’t it’s far too early for that.  At least the cats will be comfy. 

Have a great day!

I also enjoyed the Wendy's chili. I think healthier than the other food there. Can you find another local restaurant that serves similar chili?
