Change of plans

Yesterday it got up to 81 in the house and 79 outside.  It was a truly nice sunshine filled day.  I opened the windows but that’d didn’t really do anything to help cool things off inside.  It did make for 2 happy cats.  They love looking out the window as well as bird watching.  I felt a few nice breezes but that’s about it, until the evening.  That’s when my allergies went haywire.  My eyes started itching, my nose itched and I started sneezing like it was the newest tune on the radio.  I just took some medicine and waited for the attack to pass, which it did.  I kept the windows open. 

Work was kind of dead yesterday but I did have my moments where I had to spring into action.  Today started out that way, I know it’s Saturday.  I got my haircut and was planning for my next stop when something came in and derailed my day.  I came home and dealt with it.  Then just relaxed and watched TV. 

Today is very much back to Winter, it feels like 43 outside.  We got rain overnight and storms were predicted severe in the early morning hours but nothing woke me up, which I am thankful for. 

Still waiting on my quote from the landscaper I met with yesterday.  I don’t get why they asked for my email instead of just telling me a price on the spot or telling me they weren’t interested in the job.  I hate waiting and then having to follow up.  I plan to call on Monday to find out where things are.  I can continue to bid this out but would just as soon get it done sooner rather than later. 

Anyway, I didn’t go to the office today.  Instead I went to the country and ordered Fried Chicken.  This was a place I have been to before with a friend, we usually stop in for lunch.  Just my luck today their credit card reader wasn’t working.  I normally don’t carry cash but I had enough to cover the bill.  They offered me an ATM but I told them I don’t carry ATM cards.  First time that has happened to me.  Now I need to reload my cash.  The money I had was left over from last year back in the Fall when I took time off to go eat and drive around. 

Working on laundry now, hoping that the rest of the weekend stays quiet and I get no more email from work.  Next week should be simple since the boss is out and I also won’t be on-call.  I like that a lot.  However, if my colleague gets sick then I have to run things. 

I’ve already moved a few clocks forward an hour, not looking forward to losing an hour of sleep.  Tomorrow will fly by and I know Rudy will be all confused.  It will take him as well as me a few days to adjust to the new normal.  I really wish this silly time change business would be done and over, it seems pointless to me.  It causes more chaos than anything. 

Time to wind down and relax until tomorrow rolls around.  Hope it’s been a great day for you!
