Morning … I was supposed to go back yesterday but woke up with an upper back ache. The longer I sat at the table eating breakfast the worse it felt. I just took the day. Actually more like a 1/2 day.
In the morning I laid around, napped and watched TV. Rudy reminded me when it got to be his lunch time and that’s when I got up. I fed him, had some lunch as well. Then threw on some clothes and headed down to try to get ahead at work. I was making great progress for a few hours. Then late in the afternoon I got an email that something was wrong with a door at the office so I said I would come check it out. I never said when that would be. However, I headed up changed clothes. Stopped at the post office to get my Amazon package that should have been here on Saturday. Then headed over.
Timing couldn’t have been worse. It was the start of rush hour, but I knew what I was getting into. Going over was simple. I saw a few people and said hi and chatted for a moment. Then got to work. By the time I got the fix in place (it was a small computer board, like a motherboard but on a way smaller scale) it was 15 minutes after 5p. Traffic on the way home was horrible and it took every bit of an hour to get home. Yet another reminder of why I don’t miss the office. However, a very small part of me wants to go back.
I was all set to reward myself with eating Mexican out but the closer I got to home, I talked myself out of it and just wanted to get home. It’s super hot out. The Midwest is having a heat wave and you only want to be outside for a second or two then back to the AC.
I had left over cold pizza and fed the cats. I gave them something new and Rudy was a hog. He left a little bit for Mora and it was enough to conjure up a fur ball. Glad she did that right in front of me. I held off giving her medicine for a while. I passed out treats and she had a few of those, then I got her pill in her. She knows what’s coming and tries to run from me but I always manage to catch her. I don’t like giving any cat medicine but I know it’s helping her.
Happy to report that her rear end looks almost normal, so the antibiotic is doing it’s job. We just have to get through this week and then we will be done. Hopefully, this is a one off situation and she doesn’t have any further issues.
I wound up doing some more work when I got settled after having supper. Before I knew it I only had an hour left to my evening and that’s when I focused on TV and put the computer away.
Took an extra sleeping pill so I’d hopefully stay asleep all night long but that didn’t work. I was up at 2a and after an hour I went back to sleep. Woke up this morning on Rudy’s schedule feeling okay from an energy standpoint. My upper back is still bothering me a little bit.
That scene on Guys In Sweatpants is out and I have it. I watched part of it last night despite not being in the mood. It was hot but I hit pause so I could save the rest of it and get maximum benefit from watching it when I was in the mood. I plan to give it another whirl tonight unless I am exhausted.
All of the work I did yesterday really put me in a great position this morning and I am all caught up. Just sitting around waiting for some time to pass before I have to join some dumb meetings. There are 3 of them on the books for today. Jeez I didn’t miss them at all while I was out.
The more I take time off, the more I fantasize about quitting and just walking away, it sounds so nice. Until I realize that my income would stop and that’s the part that keeps me coming back. Speaking of income I still don’t know my pay raise and it’s supposed to go in effect tomorrow. Maybe someone will tell me or maybe I will just find out when I get my first paycheck next month. It would be nice to know in advance.
Hope all is well in your world. 2 more days to go before this week is over. That’s something to look forward to!
