Here we go again … Monday

Morning!

Had my Mexican food yesterday, it was really good.  Took a little longer than normal to get my order once I placed it.  They tried to give me Steak Burritos but I didn’t order that, it looked good though.  Got interrupted by work while I was eating.  Just an email and a quick response back and I was done.  I like those kind of interruptions if I must be bothered.  That was the only on-call thing that came up which is really good.  Made for a nice quiet weekend. 

We had a kitty show up last night on the front porch.  I saw it and got up to go greet it but it took off, never saw me.  It looked young and I hope it found its way back home and is safe.  With that a couple of other cats that frequent my home/the neighborhood have shown up as well.  I still have Raccoons, at least one that shows up not every day but often. 

Mowers are here now cutting the grass.  Now my lawn will blend with the neighbors.  Everyone cut there grass this weekend.  I looked like the odd man out.  All the rain we are getting sure makes everything grow like crazy. 

Had a nice night wrapping up laundry, watching YouTube Videos and Rudy curled up with me on the couch.  Mora was asleep in the basement.  Eventually she woke up and joined us.  Then I was able to close up the basement. 

Got my shave & shower in the clean bathroom.  I didn’t really want Rudy licking the tub but he insisted so I let him.  Crazy how he likes bathwater.  I tried to watch him close but he doesn’t like that and I got more than one dirty look from him.  As if I didn’t know what he was up to. 

The night went by way too fast but it was enjoyable.  I’m watching All In The Family on Amazon Prime.  I’ve seen some episodes from YouTube and when they come on I just skip them.  It’s interesting and I’ve got plenty of shows left to watch.  There is no intro skip button so I just fast forward through that.  I can hear the opening once or twice but after that it grates on my last nerve.  I like the closing theme which is just music, but there are actually different words to the closing theme it’s a separate song.  Carol O’Connor preformed it on YouTube which is the only reason why I know that.  Life sure was different back when that show was on the air. 

It’s Administrative Professionals Week at work.  We get some pomp and circumstance as staff.  Free breakfast tomorrow and a gift on Wednesday.  I am thinking of going in for it but probably won’t.  Instead I will make the trip on Saturday to find out what the surprise is.  It’s usually nothing that special.  We get a lot of thanks for doing our jobs which is lovely but I’d rather have more money than this little charade and celebration.  I can pay bills with money not with breakfast and a gift.  Next big thing to happen will be our reviews, which will take place next month.  Oh Joy!

Things are calm at the moment.  We had some things pile up but between me and the mistake maker we knocked them out.  I worked on some prep for the new guy.  Taking it slow not only because it’s boring but so I don’t miss anything.  The interns will be starting and he will be learning all at the same time, it’s going to be a cluster.  I kind of wish that he would have started a bit later next month but I’m sure we will manage somehow. 

Hoping for a mostly calm week with meetings that are short and to the point.  I know it’s an impossible ask but hey I can still hold out some hope, there is no harm in that.  I wish you all the best for the week ahead and hope that something wonderful happens for all of us  Take care!
