Stream on Andrew

Morning!

So glad that Monday is behind us.  Yesterday was bonkers.  It would be busy, quiet and then busier.  My blood pressure would go from calm to racing over and over again.  I had difficulty in breaking away from the basement to head up for a bathroom break.  When I had the opportunity I took it and just relocated for the day.  It was past Rudy’s lunch time and he met me at the door crying his head off.  Instead of using the restroom first, I fed him just because that’s what I do.  Then I used the restroom and was able to squeeze in a quick lunch. 

I had left over cold pizza.  It was so good I didn’t want to stop eating.  Eventually work called and I had to get signed into my laptop and resume to see what fresh hell had arrived. 

Had a nice conversation with my mistake making colleague.  He made some royal fuck ups last week and honestly if I was doing the work of 3 people and trying to keep pace I’d probably would have done the same.  We talked about those and got them fixed.  Funny thing he told me not to go back to the office and to work from home until I felt better.  I chuckled inside as he has no idea. 

Got an alert on my phone from Twitch.  It was Andrew (goes places) it said “Get your cute butt in here”.  I fired up YouTube on the TV and there he was streaming.  Someone talked him into taking his shirt off.  Two and I think a half hours of talking, gaming and chatting.  It was a nice time and I didn’t want it to end but he took me into early evening. 

While I was streaming him I noticed that one of my Wireless Access Points kept going off line.  I rebooted my router and my modem a couple times and couldn’t get it to clear.  However, I had internet access my laptop was working and well Andrew was streaming on the TV.  Turns out the Access Point bit the dust.  I tried reprogramming it twice but it was a no go.  Not sure what changed but suddenly I am able to run the house off of just one AP (access point) and my main router.  The AP that went bad was for the deck camera but now it’s got decent signal and the AP is a long way away.  I was all set to order a replacement but hey if I can get by with just the one then so be it.  I miss the additional AP as it was easy to see at a glance if there was an internet outage or when connectivity was restored, both of which occur long before any alerts are sent by my provider. 

Broccoli Cheese Soup was supper last night with some pepper and lots of crackers.  Washed it down with a Cherry Float Coke Zero.  That flavor is kind of lost on me, it was a nice change but I am ready to drink my last can of it already. 

Had some super strange dreams last night.  I shut down a server and my boss was with me at a party.  We had to go in but the freeway was under some major construction.  Had to detour on some mountain like roads.  Eventually we stopped inside a building and got help from a lady who rode with us.  Next thing you know we were under attack and trying to get away from some crazy people that were trying to kill us.  Perhaps that’s what I get for watching a Video Game Stream but I’ve never had a dream like that before.  I was glad that I woke up and it was all a bad dream. 

Thunder and intense Rain woke me at 2a and I had to stay up for a couple hours before I could go back to bed.  Thought I’d be super sleep but I ate an energy pill aka Belvita Soft Baked bread biscuit with my Oatmeal and now I have normal energy.  It will wear off by noon and that’s when the crash will probably happen and I will likely want a nap. 

Made some great progress this morning at work and now I’m just waiting for the next crisis to unfold or the next meeting to occur.  I think a crisis will unfold long before a meeting but hey you never know. 

It’s a dreary, soggy rainy wet day here.  We need sunshine bad.  I know that cats will miss it today and so will I.  Although I’m not ready to jump into the depths of a scorching summer, a nice Spring with no pollen with be fine with me.  Hope the sun is shining bright where you are. 

Have a great day!
