Hump Day

Morning everyone!

Had a bad dream from some guilt that I have over working from home.  Not sure if it’s related but I have periods of time where my sex drive gets up and leaves.  I forced my self to get off last night but my body went through the process I didn’t feel any pleasure from it.  It’s a temporary thing and I know my sex drive will come back.  This could be part of the aging process but I remember when my late spouse was my age and he was horny all the time.

Speaking of my late spouse I can believe that in a few weeks it will mark 13 years since he passed.  Damn I can’t believe he’s been gone that long and I can’t believe I’ve made such progress in that time.  Only wish that I wasn’t all alone.  Being alone is good for some of the time but not all the time.  Kind of why I got the cats, they keep me company and provide entertainment.  They are my reason I keep getting out of bed.  However, I am starting to grow tired of getting out of bed.  I am just frustrated in general with my life and some of it with my job.  However, I still realize that I am lucky to be in the position I am in, even though it doesn’t feel all that rewarding at times. 

On the job front, yesterday the boss was buried with email so he kind of kept his distance.  I got a few email requests and one phone call from him.  Otherwise, he left me alone.  We have a couple more meetings today and as he gets caught up I am sure that he will engage more, which I honestly don’t look forward to.  The day doesn’t look bad, a period of time free this morning and then after were done with the afternoon meeting, I should hopefully be free.  I enjoy freedom but I keep a watchful eye and tend to intercept any work that I see coming in.  I enjoy being helpful but that generally causes more work to come my way.  Sometimes I guess I am my own worst enemy. 

Watched last weeks episode of Chicago PD last night, it was interesting and it felt kind of odd watching it on a Tuesday when I tend to normally watch on Friday nights.  I am behind on watching Network TV and my DVR is filling up.  I like streaming content and tend to hang out on YouTube the most but other platforms that I subscribe to get my attention as well, just not nearly as much as YouTube. 

It was a brisk cold winter day yesterday.  This morning woke up to a dusting of snow.  Saw the Raccoon walking in it on the back deck from the camera history this morning.  Also we have a new stray cat that is coming around.  It’s shy and doesn’t like me.  Probably because the last person it trusted dumped it.  I get not trusting humans.  That’s now Momma was but she was desperate for food for her and the kids she was carrying.  I’m not looking to take on another cat.  I mean I want to save them all but hell that is an impossible task.  I also don’t know how well my bonded pair would adjust to me interrupting their happy home with a new friend.  They fight for attention at times and I can only imagine that getting another one would cause quite the disruption.  I have no plans to find out.  I’m content with 2.  Not quite sure how I managed 7 of them all by myself but then again I was younger and they were my family!

Weather is supposed to warm up to more Spring like temperatures today before we get sent back into summer heat.  I hope that we get a period where we don’t need heat or ac to survive and I can just listen to true silence before were forced into the deep fryer that summer heat will bring.  I also hope that my AC holds up another year. 

Hope it’s a great day for all of us and that none of us work too hard.  Wish that work gave Spring Breaks.  We have no holidays until May but that doesn’t mean I can’t go on vacation.  I really don’t want to schedule any lengthy time off until we have another person on board but regardless of that, time will eventually force me to schedule some time. 

Take care!
