Day to Rot

Howdy!

I woke up with the best intentions this morning.  Really thought I would get my fast food breakfast but I wound up finishing off what was left of a box of Cinnamon Chex.  Had my shower and got dressed.  Made it out to get my haircut.  Had to stop by the post office because Amazon shipped one of the bags of cat food to my street address and it was being held at the post office.  After that I came home.  Back to TV and eventually back to bed. 

It was cool out this morning in the 50’s.  I think we hit 80 based on how things feel this afternoon.  I did some looking at my holes in the backyard.  The yard is still pretty muddy and honestly I really didn’t feel like messing with it today.  I have tried to talk myself into it a couple times but nope I’m not budging.  I know there is rain in the forecast for the upcoming week.  I’ve checked the carpet in the basement and it’s slightly damp.  I’ve got a fan running to dry it out. 

Part of my aggravation of fixing the holes is that I know it’s only a temporary fix because the groundhog or raccoons will open the hole back up and I will have this recurring battle.  I’m not getting rid of the critters just yet. 

I’m kind of surprised at my could careless attitude but I’m kind of over home ownership and trying to keep everything in tip top shape. 

Made it over to the office, found a card on my desk from a manager that I work with at another office.  Just saying thank you for all I do and how lucky the company is to have me.  It was a nice pick me up.  I had something to try to work on and put a temporary fix in place.  No one followed up with me so I didn’t bother telling anyone that I was there or what I did.  Let them figure it out for themselves. 

Working on laundry, catching up on porn surfing, mail and paying bills.  I’m surprised that I have quite the surplus of left over money this month.  I already put the bulk of it away in savings.  I love watching my bank account grow, it makes me feel good.  I remember back in the days where it was the bill balance that kept growing and I couldn’t save a penny.  Glad that the tables have turned. 

Worked with the new guy more on Friday, training him up for stuff I do.  I was a bit nervous and wound up making a huge mistake but I caught it before it was too late.  If I wasn’t talking while I was working I think that things would have gone smoother.  I like to get in the zone, put on some instrumental jazz and listen to the police scanner while I am laser focused on my work.  Not sure how but I just come to life and feel really good.  Then usually someone interrupts me and everything goes to hell, until I get my peace and quiet back.   

Not terribly excited that tomorrow is mothers day.  It normally doesn’t bother me but this year it is a bit.  I decided that everything around here is probably going to be crowded.  I’m taking a little field trip up to try to see the straight waiter and get some pizza.  I’d rather get some dick and pizza but I’m realistic.

Got a tooth bothering me.  A few weeks ago something I was eating stabbed this tooth that has a filling in it.  Ever since then it’s been bothering me.  I have tried my trick of Sensadyne tooth paste because there are times when all of my teeth turn sensitive for no reason at all.  That helps but it’s temporary.  Last night this tooth was bothering me so much I was ready to just rip it out on my own.  Today it isn’t bothering me as much.  I’m hopeful that it will settle down I try to avoid chewing on that side of my mouth.  I’m certain if I wind up going to the dentist over this that I will be up for something major – cap, crown or root canal.  None of which I want so I am holding out hope that things will get better.  If not I know the number to dial. 

Hope your weekend is going well and your doing good.  Take care!
