Saturday

Greetings one and all!

We are in the middle of a heat wave, and my poor AC is running like crazy. It’s doing a great job, and my hope is that it continues. Changed the filter a little bit ago because it was time.

I woke up super early and took my shower. Made it for breakfast. A cute young guy that works there walked in. He looked mighty fine! I asked my waitress if he played for my team. She said she wasn’t sure but that he was the owner’s son. I wanted to ask him on a date, but I passed on the opportunity.

Stopped by and grabbed the mail on the way home. Nothing but bills and junk mail. Then I got out of my clothes and relaxed in my room watching TV. Turned my phone off, that felt so good! Eventually I wound up back in bed and the cats joined me. I fell back asleep for about an hour, and it was needed.

I have such great ideas of things that need to be done around here but when it comes time to do them, I lack energy and motivation. Not sure why that is but the work isn’t going anywhere, it will wait for me.

Something that puzzles me is that within the last couple months I cleaned out the gutter over the deck and put the netting back in place. It’s back to overflowing again. I don’t know how there can be anything in there, but obviously there is. It’s too hot for gutter work today. I am not a fan of water or gutters. I think the gutters for this house are undersized and need to be upgraded to accommodate the rain we get. However, every house in the subdivision is cookie cutter aka tract housing, meaning that there are only so many floor plans. No one has special gutters that I am aware of or even new gutters. I’d just love to get something that is 100% maintenance free and it just works, no fuss, no muss.

Had an afternoon snack and passed out lunch for the cats. I wound up back in my room watching TV again. Mostly old cartoons because there doesn’t seem to be anything on YouTube that is piquing my interest.

I came down to take care of laundry, catch up on porn surfing and getting bills paid. Had to entertain Mora giving her attention and rubbing her belly. She leaves and comes back wanting more. She loves attention and soaks it up like a sponge. I love her but she can make it quite difficult for me to get things done. That’s why I don’t allow either of them down here with me when I am working. Although Rudy will just climb up in my lap and fall asleep, he doesn’t really need much attention and will let me type but he likes to lay against one of my arms or curl up in it. Yeah, they are both really something and I love them so much!

Decided on Pizza for supper. I went back to the place where there used to be lots of twinks working. I figured that going on Saturday would change things up and the guys would be back. Turns out I was wrong. Only saw one hot guy. Pizza could have cooked a little bit more it wasn’t quite done enough for me. I had a couple slices and then boxed the rest and came home.

Very bored and wanting company and entertainment. However, I’m going to have to suck it up and power through it. I’ve done it before, but it has started to be a little more difficult. Being lonely just isn’t any fun. It’s great to live alone and be your own boss so to speak of but outside of that, there are no other perks. I don’t know if I want to live with someone but knowing that I could make a phone call and have company or ask for help would be nice.

Yesterday after work I got so bored I took time to read the owner’s manual for my new alarm. I learned a couple things. One of which is that there is a microphone in the damn thing and when an alarm goes off you can talk to the monitoring station. I’m not hip about that because that can easily be hacked and bypassed so that you can always listen. There is a camera on the panel, but you must be in front of it. However, I’ve got an Alexa and it’s always spying on me too. It’s in my bedroom and I’m sure some Amazon employee has heard all the orgasms I have. Speaking of which earlier this week I had a super good one (not that there is such a thing as a bad orgasm) and I was so loud I scared the cats, they just looked at me as if they wanted to ask if I was okay. I used to scare poor Momma she would come running to check on me if she wasn’t in the room. Yeah, I’m loud in bed. It’s a learned habit from watching porn and honestly it just feels good to scream or moan loudly. I can be quiet if I must but that is not easy at all. I’m still waiting for someone to call the cops to check on me. There is no doubt that if you’re on the street by my house, you can hear me 100%, I’ve got some good lungs. Fortunately, most of the time there is no one out there at night walking when I am busy having fun. That’s probably for the best because it sure would be awkward to explain to the cops that I was beating my meat. Although, I’m sure there are some situations they are involved in that bring laughter to their faces. I mean they are human too, even though some of them would have you think otherwise.

Well, time to get this published and see what else I can accomplish this evening. Tomorrow for supper I am thinking of staying local and going back to a Mexican place I like. It won’t give me the travel that I want but it will get me some good food! Who knows, things might change but pretty much once I make up my mind it’s difficult to change it.

I hope you’re having a great weekend and staying cool.

An okay day

Howdy, hope all is well.

I woke up early fed the cats.  Hung out for a bit to make sure that Mora would eat and that she didn’t get cheated out of food.  I sat at the kitchen table and waited for hog jaws (aka Rudy) to finish.  Then I called her like I do every morning and she was already on the move toward the kitchen.  After she ate, I went back to my bedroom.  I climbed in bed and watched TV for a little bit.  The cats joined me.  I decided that I should get up and at least eat breakfast.  Had a bowl of cereal to polish off the box and a banana. 

Got my morning meds and then headed back to my room to watch TV.  Eventually wound up at porn and watched a few scenes.  After cleaning up the mess, I went back to watching normal TV.  Got tired about 30 minutes after that and climbed back into bed with the cats.  I had to physically move Rudy and he was pissed about it.  I know he’s like me once he gets comfy leave me alone.  However, he was taking up significant room and without moving him there would have been no room for me.  He laid up against me and tried to push me out of bed.  It was funny but it didn’t work.  Took about an hour nap and then was wide awake. 

Watched more TV when I woke up but kept looking at the clock and realized that it would be to my benefit if I got moving.  Hit up the shower and got dressed.  Headed out to get the mail and then came back home for a short bit.  About the time I was comfy it was time to leave.  I was a little bit earlier than what Waze told me to leave, but ran in to a little bit of traffic as well as some light rain.  Arrived at the doctors office with 10 minutes to spare. 

On the way over I saw a billboard for Arby’s and it was close to an exit where there is an Arby’s.  It transported me back to a memory that I had with my late spouse.  It felt like it was all playing out in real time as I continued to drive.  It’s been 13 years and out of the blue something can trigger me.  It happened a lot more often in the early years.  I kind of figured that it was done but apparently not. 

This visit seemed rushed at least to me.  He was on time, I only had to wait a couple minutes before I was taken to an exam room.  Then after my vitals were taken, it was just a couple minutes and the doc was in.  We chatted and he moved to get his exam done.  I complained about being stuck for blood multiple times.  The doc walked me to the lab and requested the best sticker they had.  The lady who took my blood got it on the first try.  The doc said to come back in 6 months.  I don’t know why we switched this year from every 3 months to every 6 months.  I won’t be back until January.  I know that time will fly by.  I am still waiting on lab results, normally they are in by the time I am home but I got nothing.  I’m guessing they will come in tomorrow, which is fine. 

Went to the place that sucks at making pizza.  Ordered my favorite pasta dish.  I had a smoking hot young waiter.  I wanted to hit on him so bad.  All I know is that I wanted to say if I looked as good as you do, I wouldn’t be single.  I tell the cats all the time that if I had their good looks I wouldn’t be single.  I ate, paid my bill and left.  It would be nice to go back to work with a boyfriend but I’m not holding my breath.

Got the batteries in the garage camera changed.  Put the trash out and I’m home for the day.  Caught up on my porn surfing.  Yeah I peeked at work email earlier today because I was bored.  I didn’t respond to anything but took time to delete a couple of messages that were nothing but noise.  Then switched work email off.  I really want to login now and play catch up but that’s working and well I am off.  I guess I am too devoted to my job and take it way too seriously.  No wonder I get frustrated so easily and want to throw my hands up and walk out. 

Crunched numbers on a new vehicle just for fun.  It would be a bit costly even with a sizeable down payment and trade in.  However, I could make it work if I had to.  Then I realized that my calculations didn’t include GAP insurance, it can’t be that much more.  I will never ever buy a car without it.  Even though I’ve never had to use it.  It’s one of those things that if you need it, your glad that you have it. 

GAP INSURANCE … “Gap insurance covers the difference between what you owe on your car loan or lease and the car’s depreciated value if it’s totaled or stolen. It helps ensure you are not left paying out of pocket for the remaining balance on your loan after an insurance payout.”

Tomorrow’s agenda includes breakfast out, a haircut, trip to Sam’s club for fuel and more brownies if they still have them.  In the afternoon traveling back to the seafood place to get a strawberry Pina Colada [really hope it’s good and worth my money] and some fish.  Might hit up the pet food store if I don’t then that will be a Saturday task.  Looking forward to the drive and hope that the rain stays away.

That’s all I know at the moment.  Mora is telling me it’s time to head up, as if it’s a work night.  If it was I wouldn’t be down here.

I heard something in watching YouTube videos.  I think George Carlin said it.  You know people have a lot of good things to say about you, problem is you won’t ever hear them until your dead.  There is a lot of truth in that statement.  He was smart and funny. 

Well I guess I should run.  Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Lupper

Happy Sunday!

I really didn’t do a whole lot yesterday.  I did get up early and had breakfast out.  It was so good!  I also filled up the gas tank. 

Got in a nap and relaxation time until it was time to leave for Lupper (that’s lunch & supper combined, in case your new here).  I was the first one at Olive Garden.  Got us a table and a short time later everyone arrived. 

We had the cutest waiter, he had red hair and was covered in freckles.  I wanted to hit on him but didn’t.  I told everyone at the table that I thought he was hot.  Anyway, looks aren’t everything.  You need some brains to go with them.  He was nervous and likely just took the job while college was out.  There were a couple issues with placing orders and then when the food arrived, one person got something they didn’t want.  Soup was lightly warm but more on the cold side.  Food overall was just average.  I’ve had better Olive Garden at the one by me.  At least everyone else shared my opinion that this OG has gone down in quality.  We started a little after 2 and it was 4p when we all left.  A nice time to catch up.  Next time we will be together is likely for my birthday / Labor Day. 

I got home and got supper passed out for the cats.  Then headed downstairs to work on more laundry and surf on the computer.  Not much in the way of good porn, but I looked.  Eventually I wasted a couple hours down here and decided that I would be more comfortable upstairs so I called it and headed up. 

Mora was on the couch in her favorite spot.  I told her I was headed up but that didn’t phase her, which is totally normal. 

I went through a couple YouTube videos.  Scroll around on social media on my phone.  Mora eventually came up.  I closed up the basement and then got naked.  Shaved & Showered.  Then got comfy in my room.  Really wanted to get off.  My intention was there but there was little motivation.  I was quite tired and after 15 minutes I knew there would be no white fireworks shooting out of me, so I threw in the towel.  Started back watching Hot In Cleveland.  Mora was in my lap, sleeping.  The fireworks started.  The police scanner was busy.  Eventually it was all too much for me.  I was tired and knew if I stayed in the chair I would fall asleep. Mora’s birthday present was that I skipped her evening pill.  She didn’t complain at all about that.  

I evicted Mora from my lap.  Then went to bed.  Watched a little more TV and it wasn’t long I was out a little after 10p.  Slept amazingly good.  Had a sexy but bad dream.  Woke up a couple times, once was to use the restroom.  Eventually my body woke me up for good.  Rudy gave me my morning greeting and wanted to snuggle for a moment.  I can’t pick him up and snuggle, he hates that.  It has to be on his terms.  While his sister will gobble up forced snuggles. 

Anyway, passed out breakfast for the cats.  Then got dressed and headed out for my breakfast.  Damn it was good.  There is this old lady that comes in to meet a friend of hers and they have breakfast.  Neither one eats much and I’ve bought their breakfast a couple times.  It’s an easy $5 to $7 not including tip.  She’s been absent for a while but came back last weekend.  Today she showed up and I watched her pull in.  She waited a minute, backed up and pulled back into her parking spot.  That happened a few times.  By the time I paid my bill and was in my vehicle ready to leave I watched her do it again.  She parked like she was drunk.  She’s not drunk just old and dementia is setting in.  She is 90 and still has a drivers license, that’s scary to me.  I went back in and told my waitress, she said she would check on her.  I figured that if I didn’t say anything she would have kept up the same routine until her friend showed up. 

I hate seeing people grow old and dementia creep in.  It’s not fun at all.  I hope that she is okay.  She needs some help but I don’t know that she has any family that can intervene.  She lives alone, which is also amazing but scary at the same time. 

Made it to the grocery store and was happy that I just had to pick up a few things, which was $50 later.  I had two bags of grocery's, one jug of milk and one jug of water (for the cats).  Gas prices are falling a little bit but grocery prices are still horrible. 

Came home, put the groceries away, got naked and then realized that it was time to pill Mora.  Took care of that, she wasn’t happy.  We have one more pill tonight and two more tomorrow then she will be done.  I am pleased with her progress but it looks to me like there is an abscess trying to form.  I tried to do some expression yesterday but she wasn’t having it.  Rudy tried to clean her and made the mistake of licking her butt, he didn’t like what he tasted and stopped quickly.  Mora wasn’t upset about it.  Perhaps things are back to normal – I suppose only time will tell.  Give it a few days for the antibiotic levels to fall in her system and that will be the true test.  I hope we are in the clear.  I do not relish another vet visit anytime soon whatsoever. 

Finishing up laundry and I will be heading out for some Mexican food.  Looking forward to that.  Then it’s back home for the next 3 days and back to work, I am also on call for 3 days. Thursday is doctor day and I will get a little prick, not the good kind either, the kind with a needle.  I plan to hit up the great seafood place I found either on Thursday or Friday.  I’ve got Friday off too, which means I can hit up Sam’s Club for more brownies if I want.  There is the weekend.  Then it will be back to normal for the rest of the month, until the end of next month when my next round of vacation is planned. 

Hope you had a great holiday and weekend!  Thanks for stopping by, talk with you again soon!

 

Stormy Saturday

Hey, hope your having a great weekend!

I’m a little sad that today is Saturday already.  I woke up with a leg cramp aka Charlie Horse.  I pushed poor Rudy off of me so I could get out of bed and stand up.  I don’t think he quite understood but I needed the pain to stop asap.  Then I made my way to the bathroom and eventually the kitchen to pass out breakfast for the cats.  It was early.

I returned to bed and watched a little TV before I passed out, didn’t take terribly long.  I only fell back a sleep for around an hour which was disappointing to me I wanted to sleep longer but my body said wake up. 

I loafed in my room for a while watching TV.  Eventually headed out to the kitchen for my breakfast.  Rudy was right by my side incase I wanted to feed him again.  He was hoping for a second breakfast but that didn’t happen.  I had a glass of milk, a brownie and a banana.  Not exactly a typical breakfast but I made it work.  Got my meds and headed back to my room. 

Still thinking about the hot guy that was here yesterday.  The more I think about him the more I believe he’s probably straight.  I mean so is Spaghetti until you get it wet.  I will still shoot my shot and ask him out if our paths cross again.  Anyway, I got myself all excited so I had to watch some porn.  Even after I was done I still wanted more.  Watched more TV and eventually decided I should get up and get moving because the day was going to pass me by. 

I got dressed and headed to the office.  It started raining on the way there and I thought to myself I’m crazy for driving in.  However, it paid off because we had a give away and I had a gift waiting for me.  Nothing I will probably ever use but still it was nice to get it off of my desk. 

Wanted to stop and get mail but it was pouring hard so I just came home.  Had plans to go back out for cat food and mail but they never materialized partially because of the weather and the other part because I’m just lazy. 

Working on laundry.  Put new sheets and blanket on my bed, looking forward to climbing in to take them both for a spin tonight.  Been in front of the computer for a good part of the day.  Took time to eat my left over Chinese food, which wasn’t all that much.  My fortune cookie said that I will make great changes.  Yeah, okay.  Might as well have said help, I’m trapped in a fortune cookie factory.  

Made sure Mora ate something so I could medicate her, we have 9 more days to go with medicine and were both going to hate each one but it’s totally necessary.  Her rear end looks a little better this morning.  She’s got a scab that is peeling but her rear end looks like a train wreck.  She is her normal self, eating, drinking, playing and bothering her brother.  Also reaching out to me for attention.  I just kicked her out of my lap to make it easier to type.  She is in a chair behind me resting and anxiously waiting for me to head upstairs, which is going to happen eventually.  I’m not in any hurry. 

Pretty well caught up on porn surfing today, didn’t miss a whole lot but there is one scene out at Guys In Sweatpants with Greyson Lane that I am dying to see.  I don’t have it but the preview and photos look very appealing. 

What didn’t get done this vacation?  I didn’t do anything with the deck because I know there is a Racoon family living there and didn’t want to take the risk of chemicals harming them or worse yet them getting pissed and attacking me.  So I never made it to the Home Improvement Store.  Need to pick up some florescent lights for the basement got a couple that are still working but they are seriously delayed if they even turn on when I flip the switch.  I’ve got a finished basement. 

Otherwise, I pretty well accomplished everything I wanted to.  Could have done without the alarm issue and the cat/vet issue but at least they were timed appropriately.  Now hopefully everything including but not limited to the cats stays in good working order and behaves.  I spent way too much money but it was nice that I had it to spend rather than racking up debt.  I remember the days in years past when I would have been figuring out which credit card to put it all on.  Thankfully those days are over and I hope they never come back. 

I made a list of the remaining tasks that I need to accomplish, most of which is just my normal Sunday routine.  Unless I change my mind I will be headed to the pizza place with the hot straight guy that I have a crush on and made a pass at.  Not sure if he will be working but it’s worth the trip to find out plus I will be getting pizza, what’s not to like about that.  I will have plenty left over to snack on for a few days too so that’s nice.  It would just be a bonus to me if I get to see him and his nice sweet ass.  So then I will have a reason to drool while I eat.  Sure would be nice to bring an end to the boyfriend search that has been going on way too long.  I told my friend that I had lunch with on Thursday that I figure that I will probably die alone.  I’d like to be wrong about that but things honestly don’t look terribly promising right now.  My search is limited to when I see a cute hot guy that I like I make a pass, if it works great, if not well at least I took a shot.  I know that I could be more aggressive and hit up gay bars but that’s just not my thing, hence why I think I’m going to be alone for a long time. 

Unless something remarkable happens I don’t know that I will be posting tomorrow.  Kind of a great day to take a computer holiday before I go back and am stuck in front of the machine for 4 long days.  At least I won’t be on-call though so that’s a plus.  I think I’m going to queue up some Man Candy for your viewing pleasure. 

If your on vacation next week, color me jealous.  I kind of wish I would have taken 2 weeks but that would be even more crap to deal with coming back.  I still have plenty of time to use and I am going to do my absolute best to try use as much of it as possible. 

Thanks for stopping by! Take care and enjoy what’s left of the weekend.

Windows 11

Happy Saturday!  I had another insomnia attack last night that ruined my intentions for today.  However, I made the best of it.  Watched an old movie called Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder.  It was long but kept my interest and when it was done I easily fell back to sleep.  Rudy woke me up around 7:30a, kind of surprised he let me sleep in.  He wanted his breakfast though and I passed it out for him.  Then I came back to bed and waited as I watched more TV to eventually pass out.  I got up around 9a and had breakfast which was nothing more than cereal and a banana.  Then it was back to the bedroom to watch more TV and nap. 

I got moving late in the afternoon and headed to a steak house to order chicken.  It’s a dish similar to what I order at Outback called Alice Springs Chicken.  It was good but they forgot the bacon.  Grabbed the mail and returned home.  That was as much getting out as I needed to do. 

I noticed yesterday when I set the trash out that a Wasp has setup a nest right behind my security camera.  I know that it’s a matter of time before I get a little too close for comfort that the damn thing will attack me.  I am probably going to get some Wasp spray and try to kill it.  I am not a fan of insects much less stinging or biting ones. 

Last night I watched a 2 hour Only Fans that someone called Justasoccerboi filmed with Seth Peterson.  They were in a hotel room and forgot to deadbolt the door so the maid interrupted them trying to come in and clean the room but Seth was getting eaten out and told the lady to come back later.  The room looked nice as did the guys but the whole thing wasn’t edited very well and it’s by far the longest Only Fans clip that I have ever watched.  I just deleted it from my system just because it was so long and quite large.  Seth as you might recall passed away earlier this year from what is believed to be an accidental drug overdose.  

Speaking of OF, I just got a bunch of Blake Mitchell OF clips that were leaked.  Most of which I had before but I never had any of his Live Chats.  It’s nice to hear his voice and quite a shame that he too passed away in a motor vehicle accident late last year.  One clip I want to see is the final one he made with Joey Mills.  While Blake published everything, Joey hides some clips behind a pay wall and thus why I haven’t seen it.  Not paying $25 for one clip, sure I want to see it but not that bad. 

On the dating front I got an ad last night from a service called Mingleo.  It’s a dating service that requires a subscription but they match you with other guys based on your interest and how you both responded to their questionnaires.  I’m going to do some research on them before I just blindly spend money.  They are in most major cities in the US so in case your looking thought I’d share it.  They keep your information private unless you ask them to share it or choose to share it on your own with a guy.  This sounds a lot like It’s Just Lunch but something that is cheaper and targeted to gay men. 

While I was watching TV this afternoon, I fired up my laptop to do some surfing and have noticed that when I shutdown the menu shows up differently and the taskbar looked different, I unlocked it and sure enough I can resize it to make it show more icons in the system tray as well as display the Time, Day of the Week and Date.  This was my major factor for not upgrading other than in general I am not a W11 fan.  However, now that I know that I am so tempted to give in and upgrade to get it over with.  I know that sooner or later were all going to have to as extended support will expire or Microsoft will make it so cost prohibitive that most folks will just give in and upgrade rather than pay.  Part of me wants to upgrade now and the other part of me says wait until you have much more time to deal with things if something goes south. 

Meanwhile I discovered that I threw my laundry in the dryer and walked away, never pressed the start button.  I thought it was taking an unusual amount of time to dry so I went and checked on it.  Sometimes my brain just goes out to lunch without me and I do silly stuff like that but it’s not often enough to be concerning. 

I’ve got a task to take care of at work tomorrow, I will need to login the morning and then again later in the afternoon.  I am planning on going to eat lupper early.  So that I am available when I need to login.  I am not a fan of working weekends but I’m on call.  Thinking of pizza and trying to see the straight hot waiter that I have a mad crush on.  Not sure why I am so attracted to straight guys, wish that my Gaydar worked better. 

Not a horrible Saturday just not the most productive.  However it was good for relaxation.  Shame that the time goes by so quickly.  It was a nice day until I got out for supper then it became overcast and has started to rain a little bit here and there.  Hope it was a good day for you!

What a morning

Morning

Sunday – I went to the pizza place where the straight waiter works that I like.  He was working and I had my eye candy to look at.  I wound up buying some random ladies meal just because my inner voice said do it.  The cute waiter was taking care of her so I approached him and told him what I wanted to do.  He called me SIR and I wanted to say get on your knees boy.  I paid her bill and kind of hoped that he would come chat me up but that didn’t happen.  When I told the lady what I did she chatted me up.  Turns out we live in the same town, she was on her way back from an out of town trip and stopped for “lunch”.  Interesting how it’s such a small world.  She told me the next time she sees me she owes me a meal.  I told her that our paths will likely never cross again.  She said you don’t know that for sure.  She was older and a Grandma. 

The pizza place was slammed with wall to wall people, all likely because it was mothers day.  I thought for sure that they wouldn’t be quite as full.  My pizza was horrible and I have enough left over to eat on for days.  Kind of tasted like something wasn’t cooked all the way. 

Monday – What a morning it’s been one thing after another.  I’ve got a system that is down in an office a million miles from me.  Had to call a vendor out for service.  Waiting to see how that turns out.  I hope that it’s something simple.  There was a forced power outage and we powered everything down on Friday.  Part of the trouble system didn’t come back up.  I’m hoping that it’s something simple and that they didn’t fry anything otherwise it’s going to be expensive and will open a bigger can of worms. 

I got the best sleep of my life last night for some strange reason and everything was going great this morning.  You know they say you can’t have a bad day at work if you don’t go.  I should have called in today!

Well upstairs to be with the cats and pass out lunch.  I’m gonna eat too while I have an opportunity who knows what else this day has in store for me. 

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

On Call Again

Morning & May the 4th Be With You!

Got the carpet in the basement all dried out, just in time for more rain this week.  I am hopeful that the rain will be light and nothing like we saw last week, which should leave me okay.  However, I am monitoring.  I had the opportunity to go get supplies and try to remediate the hole that is causing this issue but just didn’t want to deal with it yesterday.  Were getting in the 80’s today and then dropping back into the 50’s tomorrow, which always brings storms and severe weather. 

Went for pizza yesterday, saw one cute waiter.  This is the place that used to have lots of hot waiters to look at.  I got a female and she was not the best.  My pizza was burnt and she didn’t do a good job of keeping an eye on me.  As soon as the pizza was out I got maybe two bites and she was handing me the check.  Jeez, let me enjoy my food before you bring the bad news over.  It was a nice short drive but enjoyable. 

Spent the evening with the cats in my room, watching a Netflix documentary Trust Me: False Prophet.  It was compelling and kept me interested.  I was looking for something to watch and once I started this I didn’t want to stop.  However, I had to pass out treats for the cats and to get a snack for myself.  I was drowsy but the show kept my attention and I didn’t fall asleep. 

I was supposed to shave and shower last night but the show kind of took me past my normal bed time.  Now I’m scratching my face and wished that I had shaved.  The whiskers will fly tonight and I’ll get that shower. 

I am on-call this week.  The crazy has started already.  One person telling me about a blackmailer that is out for them, another person lost their laptop on an airplane and it’s still very early.  I’m sure this an omen that more crazy is about to follow.  I need the 4th to be with me!

Hoping for a fast moving week.  Still no word on the training schedule for the new guy but I’m sure that will come together today.  I know the boss won’t want him left to his own to twiddle his thumbs all day long, but he might get lucky and have a few moments of that. 

Here’s hoping it’s a great week for all of us.  Take care!

Back at it

Hi and welcome in. 

Saturday I wound up staying in all day, I wanted to get out but it just sounded better to me to loaf.  Sunday I had to do some hustling but I got all of my tasks accomplished.  Went out for Pizza only because my little voice said it would be a good idea.  Turns out the straight waiter was just getting off shift when I walked in.  I got to spend a little bit of time looking at him as he cashed out his drawer.  I just eyed him up and down and wow he was way better than the pizza.  He did use the bathroom for a second and I had a wild fantasy run through my head.  I’m really not into bathroom sex but that’s what I was thinking about.  I just stayed seated.  That was for the best. 

Knowing that I would probably have some problems getting a good nights sleep I took a half of a Unisom in addition to my regular sleeping medicine.  That caused me to be super hung over in the morning and I didn’t want to do a damn thing.  I wound up taking the day off and going back to bed to sleep it off.  Wow I never expected that to happen. 

I know that I could have milked the system for another day but just opted to return today.  There was plenty to do when I got logged in. Yesterday was a bit of a mess because the mistake maker was also out.  That left the boss having to do our jobs and his job.  Kind of giving him a new appreciation of all of the crap we deal with.  Things weren’t in too much of a shambles but I did have some clean up work to do.  Between the humidity and the cats my body woke me up super early.  Come 6:30a I just rolled out of bed and decided that it was probably a good thing to get an early start. 

The cats are upstairs crying.  They have been fighting a bit over the weekend, this was a serious fight that I had to break up.  They were each out for blood.  Thankfully no blood was shed. 

We did have 2 stink bugs to deal with yesterday evening and Mora alerted me to both of them.  They each got water burials as I flushed them down the toilet.  Damn things seem to enter in pairs.  The cats were both on bug watch for the rest of the night, they are very good at protecting their home and alerting me to when something is off. 

I watched and cleaned a bunch of old shows off the DVR it was kind of fun.  Watching DMV and 9-1-1 episodes were seriously backlogged.  There were some other things that I knew I’d never watch so I just deleted them to make room. 

It’s summer time hot here for a few days and the AC has been working.  It’s supposed to cool down towards the weekend.  We have showers in the forecast for this week as well.  Another wild and crazy weather week. 

I am on-call at work so really not looking forward to this week at all but it’s one of those events that I will be glad when it’s done.  This week and next week, then at the end of the following week we will have our new guy starting and that will be a time suck.  Not looking forward to it but I’m sure it will be fine.  Just not enthusiastic about teaching another person my job. 

Meanwhile lots of browsing for me to catch up on.  Still waiting to hear back from contractors about the column/roof brace.  I am going to call at least one of them as a reminder to get a price.  I’d like to get that behind me as well. 

Hope all is well in your world.  Take care and thanks for stopping by!

Pizza & Man Candy

Morning!

I made it to the pizza place and wow there were some cute guys working there.  It was a nice show and the pizza was good.  Last time I was there I got a Diet Coke with Lime, now they only have Lemons.  Yuck, no lemon for me.  They have an open kitchen protected by large panes of glass.  It’s fun to see them toss the dough in the air.  Kids love to stand in front of the windows and are memorized by the process.  Kind of like I am when I see a super hot guy. 

It was still cold outside and I am due to have the vehicle washed but really didn’t want to deal with drying it off, so I skipped it.  Besides that it’s going to rain all this week and into the weekend so it’s kind of counter productive.  Sure it would be nice and clean while sitting in my garage but the moment I took it out it would be dirty again.  The weather will settle eventually and I can go have it washed then, for now it’s not looking terribly bad but is noticeably dirty.  Found out that CarMax will give me $11,500 if I wanted to sell it, that’s probably a better offer than I’d get at a dealer.  I like to know it’s value but not interested in selling just yet. 

My memory is starting to fail me, sort of.  Yesterday when I was at the checkout I asked the clerk about my milk and she said, you didn’t buy any.  I had to run back to grab some.  That’s totally unlike me.  Milk is an every week thing.  There have been a couple other issues that all just started yesterday.  I’m wondering if I don’t have COVID.  My memory was shot then but I also felt much worse. 

Speaking of health, I feel a bit better this morning but still know that I am under the weather a bit.  The night sweats are a little better but not gone yet.  I’ll be glad when they leave, it’s not only the ick factor but the laundry and water use.  My water bill has seemed to spike even before this and I saw on social media that I’m not the only person who has noticed it.  I think rates quietly went up but none of us were notified.  I see that Trash prices are increasing but it’s like from $12 to $17 per month, I think that is still a huge value and quite cheap but I know that I’m probably in the minority on that opinion.  It’s just basic trash and recycling pickup each week, no yard waste (that’s extra and you have to subscribe year round).  If you have a large item or two they will do those pickups but you have to call to schedule it. 

I waited last night for Andrew Goes Places but as I suspected he never went live.  I played on my phone to catch up on social media after being away for a whole day.  Then watched some YouTube videos and returned to re-watching again Schitts Creek.  Also watched SNL just for Weekend Update, always enjoy that segment and it’s the only reason why I record the show.  Saw that all of the Chicago shows (Fire, Med and Police) are back this week, it’s a cross over event and Jesse Lee Sofer is returning to CPD for this episode.  I’m sure his shirt won’t be off but damn it will be nice to see him again.  In case it’s not obvious I have a mad crush on him. 

Glad that I worked to get caught up this weekend, it has made all the difference today.  There have been a few things come up but I am really on top of my game.  Somehow I managed to submit my time for last week before the time & attendance system went down.  Got my doctors note off to my boss and now it’s all about moving forward, even though my body is still telling me to go back to bed.  The cats were kind of looking forward to cuddling this morning but I also saw a glimmer in there eyes that things were back to normal.  I just hope that the next time I take time off it’s scheduled & planned and not sick time.  I hate being sick and it’s worse playing catchup.  Only thing on the books as of now is my Doctors Appointment in July and that’s a long way off. 

Last night as I was slowly drifting off to sleep, you could hear the sleet hitting the windows.  Mora perked up and stared at the Window as if she was concerned then Rudy followed as a reaction to his sister.  I told them both it was just sleet and nothing to worry about.  Turned off the TV and the white noise machine on.  We all passed out.  Until Mora woke me up on accident as she was leaving, she stepped on me.  Rudy climbed in bed in her place and it was back to sleep.  He stays the entire night with me for the most part and doesn’t move if I have to get up to use the bathroom.  He hates it when I climb back in bed but we manage. 

I think that’s enough yapping for now.  Time to go check on the little fur balls.  It’s just wet outside and there is no snow or ice to speak of.  It was a non-event only because surface temperatures were too warm.  Rain all week long, here’s hoping we don’t need to build an arc. 

Be well and take care, thanks for stopping by!

Bad Idea

This morning I went to Cracker Barrel and saw my crush.  I sent him a text message while I was there letting him know that I was still available and that he looked really good.  He’s apparently come out of his shell a bit more and now has painted his nails.  He also wore some Levi’s that were quite flattering for his amazing ass.  Fuck, I’ve got it bad for this guy.  The heart wants what the heart wants and there is no stopping it.  I figured one last try.  When he came to deliver my bill I asked him if his butt was vibrating.  He said yeah a while ago, then he put it together, oh you sent me a message.  He said it would be a bit before he could read it.  They were really busy. 

Much to my surprise he texted back a Thank You but he dodged the question about getting together.  So I sent back a much more direct message letting him know that I’d like to get to know him better.  It’s been radio silence and the message has been left unread.  I don’t think I’m getting a response and so it’s a hard no just he’s not man enough to say it. 

I realize I am chasing him and that I shouldn’t do that but again it goes back to the fact that I have it bad for him.  I love Cracker Barrel’s food but I avoid going there just because there is the possibility of running into him.  He’s caused me a lot of pain and sent some mixed signals.  Well, unless he manages to text me back I’m never going to that Cracker Barrel again so I won’t run into him.  He lives in the area but our paths have never ever crossed anywhere but the restaurant. 

Rejection is a tough pill to swallow but it’s a part of life.  You don’t always get what you want, regardless of what it is. 

When I left the restaurant I was feeling pretty good, so good that I drove to a dealership to test drive a vehicle.  I pulled over to check their hours before I made the trip down there.  The web said they were open.  However, when I arrived there were people inside but the sign on the door said they didn’t open for another half hour.  It was cold out and no way was I waiting a half hour.  I took it as an omen, keep what you have for now.  The real only reason that I’d like to make a move now is because of special 0% financing.  That’s not as common as it was years ago.  However, I honestly don’t want to jump back into car payments.  The plan today if it had materialized was just for a test drive.  If I liked it then I would have talked a bit more, found out what bureau I needed to thaw my credit on and would have confirmed that 0% was still available.  You can’t go any lower than 0%.  However, it just wasn’t meant to be for now. 

I came home and started in on things I wanted to accomplish.  The dishes needed to be unloaded from the dishwasher and a new load was waiting to get loaded.  Took care of that.  Then on to the cat’s water fountain, they made a mess of things and it was time to clean it and change the filter as well as add fresh water.  Knocked that out.  Next it was on to a hallway closet that was full of mostly shampoo and conditioner plus a few other things.  I cleaned that out so much so that I have an entire empty shelf.  I was quite proud of my accomplishments.  By now I was sweating and just wanted to rest. 

Watched TV in the living room with the cats.  Until I got sleepy like an hour later.  Then went to my room to lay down in the hopes of taking a nap.  Well Mora kept me company for a bit and then she left and Rudy came in.  He started making biscuits, it was time for lunch.  I got up and served lunch.  He ate a little bit but was quick to follow me back to bed.  I got on a Swedish Massager that I have, it hurt and felt good at the same time.  Watched more TV and tried to take a nap but my mind went off thinking about how I set myself up to get my heart stomped.  I felt quite alone, despite having a cat in bed with me.  Realizing that I wasn’t going to be able to fall asleep, I watched TV.  Rudy got comfy and managed to drift off. 

I started thinking of what I wanted to do with the rest of the day.  I checked off visiting the cemetery to see my grandparents grave.  I knew the area where it was but didn’t remember exactly where they were it took me a few minutes to find them but I wasn’t leaving until I did find them.  Their headstone needs some work.  It’s been hit by a mower and the vase for flowers seems to be missing.  I knew I was going to cry which is partially why I have avoided visiting for so long.  I talked to them as if they could hear me.  Then left.  Off to try a new restaurant.  It wasn’t easy to find but I got there and the food wasn’t the worst but it wasn’t anything special either.  I probably won’t be back but might give them a second chance if the mood strikes me. 

Got the mail, drove around the neighborhood to see who has decorated their house for the holidays.  We have a few but it’s nothing spectacular.  Surprised my neighbor didn’t lite up his house like he usually does.  I do have one neighbor across from me that just put lights on a couple of his bushes and one of them is quite phallic looking.  Maybe it’s my dirty mind or the fact that I think about dick often, but seriously it looks phallic to me. 

Working on laundry, going to try to knock out some work tasks and catch up a little bit.  Then it will be porn surfing time and eventually time for bed. 

Already plotted and planned out my breakfast.  Still thinking of visiting the buffet but also have an alternate idea, if I decide to not go on that far of a drive.  I still have another week ahead of me and I do plan to enjoy myself. 

Still feel lonely and hurt, hopeful (but not really) that he will text something positive back.  I kind of think that I am destined to be alone for the rest of my life and it will just be nothing but fantasy and porn for my sex life.  The upside of that is I can’t get any STI’s or STD’s.  The downside is no human contact and nothing beats the real thing!  I really want to have sex again but more than that I want a companion, someone to talk to as well as listen to.  I don’t think my expectations are unreasonable.  I’ve heard everything from your trying to find love too hard to you need to get on a dating app.  Well clearly not looking and jumping on dating apps yield the same results.  It’s kind of like playing the lottery your chances are the same regardless if you buy a ticket or not.  Yeah you might be really lucky and actually win if you get a ticket but the odds clearly aren’t in your favor, that’s kind of how I feel about the search for a man.

That’s it for now.  Time to head up to pass out treats for the cats and then it’s virtually off to the office for me. 

Hope you had a great day!

Christmas Vacation

Happy Tuesday! Two weekdays of my time off have gone by. Today was the most productive I have been. Started off with breakfast at Cracker Barrel. I went there on purpose to see my crush but sadly he wasn’t there. Saw a new waiter and he looked fine; he kept walking by me like he was showing off the goods but perhaps it was my imagination. I’m thinking about going back over the weekend just to see if I can see my crush, but I might talk myself out of it. I saw an ad for a fancy place to eat and for some reason his name popped up in my head. I know he’s trouble but I also know that I’m lonely. Kind of a recipe for disaster.

Moving on I went to the other grocery store. I was very disappointed. They didn’t have the brownies that I wanted, no jelly donuts and no sausage &pepperoni Tombstone. I got Tombstone Pizza but not with my favorite two toppings. Picked up a new frozen dinner by Chef Gordon Ramsay, it was Lasagna Bolognesi. That was supper tonight and it wasn’t bad but also nothing super good. Back at home to unload. Then out again, this time to the UPS Store to return an item from Amazon. Then on to the bank to swap out backup hard drives. The damn bank changed names and never bothered to notify me, not sure how that happened.

Stopped in to get a haircut, the place just opened but they had a color & 2 haircuts booked but despite the fact no one was there I had to go on a waiting list. I got an appointment an hour later. I came home to pass the time. Relaxed with the cats, they were so confused by all my coming and going.

I went back out for my haircut and shampoo. Nothing like a good shampoo if it’s done right. I didn’t go to my usual place because the Barber that cuts my hair normally just doesn’t know how to shampoo. The lady did a decent job with both the haircut & shampoo, but she didn’t follow up with any conditioner. She offered leave in conditioner, and I took her up on that. I was disappointed in no hot towel service after, that used to be a staple for this place, and it felt so good.

I came back home and decided that I was in the mood to argue and went to hunt down my missing package of medicine at the post office. Turns out it was stuck in the wrong box, and I didn’t have to argue at all, just state my case. I’ve got a replacement shipment coming so I will have double medicine but that’s okay. I stopped at a watch shop and got batteries replaced in two watches, that I never wear but might as well keep them running just in case one day I want to put them on. Then finally after that I came home, changed clothes and the cats knew for sure that I was home for the day.

I wanted to get to Sam’s club but honestly, I was bushed and tired of the back and forth. I also seriously thought about driving to the car dealer to test drive a vehicle that I have my eye on. Sam’s will happen tomorrow. As for the car dealer I talked myself off the ledge for now. I figure that a test drive is like a free sample, you get a taste then want more. Not that is a bad thing, but I honestly think what I own now is solid and will last at least another year if not longer. That’s not to say I won’t make a move tomorrow. I am thinking about going to crunch numbers. I know for certain now is the best time of the year to make a new car purchase because manufacturers’ incentives are the highest. I’ve got car service scheduled for Friday anyway, it’s just routine maintenance but if I get any bad news that would probably be enough for me to make a move. It helps that my credit is frozen but just a few clicks and I can thaw it out to get loan approval. If it wasn’t for that I probably would have already made a move.

As for work, I’ve been logging in later in the evening to stay on top of email. Most of it is filed away and there is no doubt that I picked a banger of a week to take vacation. My counterpart is not bored at all. I have lent some help to him by running a report as well as helping to solve a problem. It’s nice to know that things are under control at least for now. They could go sideways at any time. It’s also good to know that I still have another week ahead of me to do whatever I want to, no electronic leash to worry about. Hearing silence instead of the constant chirping of email is something I could easily get used to.

Just wanted you all to know I’m still here. Take care and stay warm!

What’s Good?

Morning

Not a whole lot going on here.  I ended my dating app experience and honestly am kind of glad that it’s over with.  All of the extra emails and alerts were bothersome.  I’m sure at some point I will jump back in and perhaps give different apps a try.  What I dislike the most is the fake profiles and people who are there to try to scam others.  Dating is hard enough, add in the gay factor and that makes it a little more complex, at least from where I sit.  Nothing like meeting someone in person and having a connection, exchanging numbers and meeting up.  I see it in the movies all the time but it seems old fashioned today as the apps are the hip way to meet.  This certainly won’t discourage me from making a move if I see a hot guy in person.

Had a little shake up this morning on my way down the steps, I managed to slip and fell part of the way.  The cats thought I was playing a game and they came to follow me.  It was a little scary and I have some rug burn and am a little sore but otherwise I am fine, at least at the moment.  Perhaps when the adrenaline wears off I will feel differently but I certainly hope not.  I really didn’t want to come to work today considering that I am on-call but here I sit. 

Went out on Saturday with one of my Thanksgiving friends.  Met up at Olive Garden.  It was a spur of the moment thing.  I wanted to go to the buffet but didn’t want to do all of that driving.  I had a backup plan but now don’t remember what it was.  I was surprised to get a yes when I called.  This was a bit expensive but it was a nice time.  I only wish that he would have had some stronger deodorant on.  He looked and smelled like he was out in the sun all day long and it was a bit of a chore to sit at the same table with him.  Not to mention the fact it was embarrassing.  Which might explain why we got poor service and the fact that our soup/salad came out as the same time as our meals. 

Yesterday it was me all on my own.  I took a trip for some pizza.  I hoped to see the hot straight waiter that I have a crush on but he wasn’t working.  I still enjoyed a decent pizza and have plenty left over to make it through the week. 

Both of the cats are doing fine.  Although I heard them fighting a few minutes ago and haven’t been up to check on them.  They love each other but at times one eggs the other one on and that’s how arguments start.  They usually don’t last long, I just hope there is no blood shed that is always my worst fear.  Were near claw trimming time too. 

Today is supposed to be our last day of Summer here with above average temperatures in the 80’s and the AC wondering when break time is coming.  There is a cold front pushing in that will bring some rain and cooler temperatures so said the weather person this morning.  I suppose time will tell. 

Ordered some new computer glasses yesterday from Warby Parker.  I did the home try on thing and picked my frame that way.  All of my computer glasses have come from them for a few years now.  It’s been 3 years since I last got a pair and that’s a bit too long.  My regular daily wear prescription is much older.  However, I see just fine without glasses for the most part.  The computer screen, super low light and fine print are the things that bother me the most.  I know it won’t be this way forever so I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts.  The frame and lens was $95 but then add in some special coatings and thinner lens and the price jumped quickly and drastically.  However, I think it’s a worthwhile expense since it’s my eyes. 

I hope that all is well in your world and that life is being good to you.  Thanks for stopping by. 

Better Day of Food

Happy Sunday!

I had a way better breakfast this morning.  Blueberry Pancakes and 4 scrambled eggs.  I was seriously full when I left.  The guy that I liked came in just before I was ready to leave.  I made sure to eye him up and down.  He was super sleepy and you could tell he just woke up.  He cashed me out and asked how the food was I told him good.  I wanted to say it would be better if I could get your number but I left that part off. 

Made a Target run and this is the second time that I have had to check myself out because no cashiers were working.  If this happens again I will complain about it.  I don’t work there and don’t like self checkout, unless I am at Sam’s – otherwise I’d rather have interaction with a human.  I don’t care if it’s cheaper for the store. 

On to the Grocery store and got to talk with my favorite cashier there.  She only works part-time and they do a decent job of shuffling her scheduled so I might see her one week and then go a month before I see her again or I could go back next weekend and see her.  Anyway, we wound up talking about cats and the conversation went on and on.  She had cats but lost the last one during COVID.  Her and her husband said no more cats it’s just too hard going through the grief.  I told her I said the same thing but I had to have a purpose to go on living and Rudy & Mora provide that for me.  Otherwise, I would want to check out and who knows by now I might have.  I am positive I wouldn’t be the same person I am today without them.  One of her colleagues interrupted us and that brought our conversation to an end. 

I stopped for fuel and then came home to unload.  Mora watched me unpack and bring the groceries in.  She wanted to come into the garage but I kept my eye on her and kept talking to her so she knew to stay put. 

Once everything was put away I watched TV and enjoyed going back to bed and curling up with Rudy.  I think he looks forward to it as much as I do.  We had a solid 30 minutes together.  No white noise I just drifted off holding him.  It was so enjoyable and once he woke up it was on to pass out lunch. 

Got the house cleaned up, brought up the laundry and came down with a second load.  Been playing on the computer for a bit. 

I am going out for supper and plan to visit the cat food store where I adopted the cats at to see if they have more food.  With any luck I will see the lady that I worked with but I’m not counting on that.  I just hope they have the food that I am looking for.  It’s not like they are going to go hungry but I’d like to feed them what they enjoy and ensure that I don’t have to go back to a pet food store for 2 weeks.  Heck if this keeps up I might just switch back to Chewy. 

Supper well it’s a toss up between Mexican and Pizza.  I am leaning towards Mexican but I could change my mind.  Before I come back home for good I plan to run through the car wash.  Here’s hoping that I see some hot guys.   

I’d love a massage as my upper back has plenty of knots in it.  However, I still have a ways to go before my next appointment rolls around. 

Here’s hoping that it won’t be too hellish this week since I will be on-call.  I hope that it’s a great week for all of us and something good happens to each of us.  Well, time to get moving again.  Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Birthday

Good evening!

I ate the whole slice of Rainbow Cake last night, 800 calories.  It was good though and I am glad I bought it.  Slept pretty good until Rudy decided that 6a was time for breakfast.  I went back to bed.

Woke up with just enough time to have breakfast, shave, shower and make it out the door dressed to see the doctor. 

Got a birthday present from the doctor, it’s a small plastic duck.  Guess it’s not everyday that you go to the doctor and get ducked!  That’s the most action I’ve seen in years.  I digress.  Everything went fine, got stabbed for my blood work.  I’m probably going to have to have some diagnostic testing done but waiting to hear more on that.  Honestly I’d just as soon skip it.  Thus far the blood results that I have gotten all look pretty good.  However, I don’t see an A1C and think that he might have forgot to order that. 

That bill that I mentioned a couple days ago showed up again today in my daily digest of mail that I should be getting today, but it didn’t arrive.  I honestly am starting to wonder if it’s going to surface or not.  The week isn’t over just yet. 

I am still working on getting my porn collection ready for backup, normally I am more on top of this task but work kind of got in the way.  I’m thinking that I will be able to start the process tomorrow if all goes well. 

Made it to dinner with my friends.  It was a great meal.  I had fried cod, mashed potatoes and a salad.  We enjoyed some onion rings and I was able to bring most of them home along with some of my meal.  I got a slice of cheesecake for my birthday, the waiter brought it automatically without anyone asking.  He was super cute and I really wanted to ask for his number.  This place was filled with Twinks and my eyes were quite busy looking at all of them.  It was a nice time that ended way too quickly. 

Washed the car when I came home from the doctor.  Now the windshield is covered in bugs from the trip to dinner and I need to go back through the car wash.  This membership is worth it. 

I plan to stay up late tonight.  I’ve got nothing going tomorrow.  I know that Rudy will wake me early and I’ll get him breakfast.  I should make my Sam’s Club run tomorrow but I will probably put it off just because I can.  Need to visit the home improvement store too and not anxious for that trip either. 

Saved the best part for last.  On the way to the doctors office I saw a vehicle that had my late spouses initials on the license plate.  I took that as a sign he’s watching me.  It was probably just a coincidence.  It’s days like today that I really miss him.  I know that he would have loved the food we had tonight as well as the eye candy. 

This wasn’t the best birthday but it wasn’t the worst either.  I’m glad that my friends make it a point every year to celebrate with me. 

I’m still holding out hope that the other really big thing that I want to do this week happens but at this point since I don’t have confirmation I think that it’s not going to materialize.  There is still a possibility that things will work out.  If that happens this would certainly make my week.

Hope you had a great day and that your evening is equally as enjoyable.  Thanks for stopping by. 

Relaxing

Howdy!

Saturday – Not sure why but Rudy let me sleep in and I was thankful for that.  I woke up and he was sitting on my recliner, as soon as he saw me moving, he walked over and started his morning dance.  His claws are sharp to the point where I’ll break out in a allergic reaction if he starts dancing on bare skin. 

Passed out breakfast for him and his sister.  Played a little bit with Mora and then decided to watch TV.  Thinking about my options for breakfast I just went to the kitchen and had some cereal & the last banana. 

Then I organized a play list on Spotify for the Gay Country songs that I have come to take a liking to.  They make me horny but are also enjoyable to listen to.  Some are quite vulgar but it’s all music to my ears.  Took my new Bluetooth speaker and went to the bathroom for a shower while listening to the new play list. 

After getting dressed I had a little bit of time on my hands but that passed by rather quickly.  Did you ever hear of a left and right sock?  I know technically they don’t exist but if you wear Polo brand socks there is clearly one sock that is meant for the left foot and one that is made for the right foot, based on where the Polo brand logo is.  Sometimes, I just put them on and don’t care but most of the time I am conscious about it. 

Anyway, I went on to get my haircut.  Had a random stylist instead of my regular barber.  Funny that no one at this shop knows how to give a good shampoo (which I refer to as a head job).  There is a chain hair cut store in the same complex and everyone there knows how to shampoo but it costs extra and with a haircut it’s super pricy.  The place I go to includes the shampoo with the price of the haircut and it’s quite reasonable, although I still think it’s a bit much for a buzz cut. 

From there it was on to the post office to get the mail.  I was expecting a bill from the grass cutters, it should have been in my mailbox but wasn’t.  I complained about it and was told to refer to the disclaimer in the email notification that I got which says it can take up to a week before the mail piece arrives.  I got a clerk that knows me to check in the back and he found a bunch of junk mail for me but not the bill I was expecting.  Hopefully, it surfaces come Tuesday.  I want to get them their money but without a statement I have no idea what to send because their billing is all over the place and if you send the wrong amount (as in too much) it really screws them up. 

Back to home where I relaxed with the cats and watched some TV.  Wound up taking a short nap.  Then we moved to the couch where I got on my laptop.  I did something for work and then went into searching for more porn photos. 

Wow time got away from me and I was super late in leaving.  It was 4:15p before I got out of the house again.  Headed over to grab cat food and then on to the Mexican place for my usual dish.  Back home and that’s when I realized I forgot to get a cat teaser so I have to go back to the pet food store.  Damn I hate being what was that again, ah yes, forgetful. 

Spent the evening on the computer to the point where Mora was really bugging me.  That didn’t work so she gave up and curled up in a chair and went to sleep.  I woke her up when I finally decided to head up but she took her sweet time in coming upstairs. 

Meanwhile I grabbed Rudy and started brushing him.  I trimmed his nails and he snapped at me.  That was learned behavior from his sister.  Sometimes he does and other times he doesn’t.  Mora was up and saw us but she didn’t want to come anywhere near me.  Finally, I got up and scooped her up.  She loved the brushing but hated the nail trim. 

I tried to stay up until midnight but come 11p I just gave up and knew that the work would be waiting for me in the morning.  This was for the guy that I had to turn off. 

Sunday – Rudy didn’t wake me this morning either but I woke up right on time.  Got breakfast passed out for them.  I got dressed and headed out for my breakfast.  Then on to the grocery store where I picked up something I’ve always wanted.  A slice of Rainbow Cake.  It looks delicious and soon enough I will find out if it actually is or isn’t.  Got some fuel for the vehicle and then came home. 

After the groceries were put away, I headed down to take care of work.  I wound up getting into filing emails away and that really passed the time.  Mora was with me on and off, nagging me for attention.  I knew what she wanted but she didn’t get it until the afternoon, which was a belly rub.  I flip her over and hold her in my arms, she relaxes and she throws her head back and just looks all around but then looks right at me and that motor is on high purring away, while she is making air biscuits. 

Eventually, Rudy joined me and he took a nap in my arms.  Then I started to get sleepy and after a little bit longer I headed up for my nap.  I passed out somewhere in the late 11a hour and didn’t wake up until 1p, when someone came to my front door and set off the camera.  They looked to be campaigning and saw my sign not to bother me, they turned right around and walked away not realizing they had already tripped my camera to alert me to their presence. 

Got up and passed out lunch for the cats.  Had a donut and soda as my so called lunch.  I wanted another donut but didn’t bother to eat it.  Laid out my medicine for the week ahead and then came back downstairs to be in front of the computer. 

I’m compressing porn files into ZIP files.  I delete the originals to help try to save on disk space.  I’ve got my backup drive ready to get hooked up and start the days long copy job.  I’d like to get that started tomorrow just because it will take a few days to finish. 

Mora’s back for more attention and it’s tough to keep her pacified and try to type at the same time.  Now this is why the cats are upstairs when I am working during the day otherwise, I’d never be able to get anything done. 

I’m going out for pizza.  This place takes around 45 minutes to get to.  It’s where a hot straight guy works that I have a massive crush on.  They have good pizza as well. If he’s working I get to see eye candy and enjoy a pizza.  Otherwise, just a pizza.  I already made a pass at him and he was too dumb to pick up on what I was asking.  I’m positive he figured it out after the fact and hasn’t quite looked at me the same since.  He’s in his early 20’s and honestly, he looks better than any pizza ever could. 

I’m headed up to grab the bedding to start laundry.  Then it will be off to the cat food store and then pizza and hopefully eye candy.  Then back home and in front of the computer and finishing up the laundry.

My schedule for tomorrow is totally empty and I am fine with that.  Kind of a day to relax and make some additional plans for my week of staycation.  First thing I am doing come tomorrow morning when I wake up is turning off work email.  I’m on call through tonight and after that it’s bye bye to work for a week.  If I am lucky enough to win the big prize in the lottery then I won’t have to go back but given my luck being what it is I fully plan on returning. 

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.  Thanks for dropping by, take care!

Pizza & Eye Candy Time

Happy weekend, hope all is well.  It’s super hot here and not a whole lot of fun to be outside unless it’s for short periods of time.  Yesterday I loafed for the morning.  I didn’t get that good of a nights sleep and kind of knew what my future would be, which is okay. 

I had fun napping a little bit but mostly awake and watching TV.  A great old movie came across my YouTube feed called The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again.  It’s a western movie but had some slapstick comedy with Don Knots and Tim Conway.  I’m not one for western movies at all but this one just pulled me in.  I watched half of it before I had to get going and finished it when I retired for the evening.  It was very enjoyable and I got a couple laughs. 

I ventured out for cat food.  The pet food store now seems to have an issue with the wet food hairball formula that I feed the cats, it’s not in stock.  I had issues last time as well but at least they had a few cans in a couple different variety's.  This time nope nothing at all.  I was thankful they had Duck that’s one of their favorites and it’s for Sensitive Stomachs.  Gator liked it and it took me a little bit to get these two hip to it but now when it comes out they gobble it up quickly.  Long story short I got food just not what I had planned on, so the cats won’t go hungry. 

After that I returned to the car and as soon as I sat down I felt it, my blood sugar was tanking.  That hasn’t happened to me in a long time.  It’s quite uncommon with the medicine I am on now but not out of the realm of possibilities.  I had some gum in the car show I popped a piece of that in and headed for pizza.  It was a difficult ride but I made it. 

The place was packed and it was much later on Saturday so kind of expected.  I got to see some hot guys.  I wanted to get some food fast so I asked for a small side salad.  They brought me this giant bowl of greens that was lightly dipped in Ranch dressing.  I forgot the rule not to order salad here but got my reminder.  This was horrible and I didn’t eat much of it.  My waiter used to be what I call a food runner, they just deliver food.  I got to know his name and he took okay care of me, he got swamped.  He’s a bit young but damn I wouldn’t kick him out of bed.  He’s legal enough because he serves alcohol and you have to be of legal age to do that here.  I didn’t hit on him.  I saw the blond hunk of a guy that caught my eye last time but he just came out to get a drink.  I stared at him hard and I’m sure that got some peoples attention. 

I was about half way through my meal when 3 guys walked in.  A couple of them were okay but one for sure wasn’t my type.  Anyway, one of them got up after a few minutes and grabbed his phone.  He started wondering around I knew he was looking for the bathroom.  A friend of his got up and they both went to the bathroom.  I couldn’t help but think they were filming an Only Fans scene.  I’ve never been to the bathroom at this place, I kind of steer clear of public bathrooms unless it’s a necessity.  I really wanted to walk in though thinking that I would have seen a show.  They never came back out before I left, so they were up to something.  I don’t know about you but I don’t keep my phone in my hand when I am walking into the bathroom.  I know some people like to multi-task and use the restroom and surf or even talk on the phone.  I go in for one task only and if my phone goes off it has to wait until I am out of the bathroom.  There isn’t anything that is that important, I mean we all need some alone time.

I grabbed the mail on the way home.  Spent time catching up on finances, doing laundry, passing out attention, food & treats to the cats.  Surfing for porn and resolving a computer issue.  Got the dishes going and then I turned in for the night finishing that movie I spoke about before. 

This morning was back to normal or so I thought.  My usual waitress wasn’t there.  However, I changed up my order slightly and got Blueberry French Toast & Eggs.  It was really good.  Made it to the grocery store.  I was supposed to stop at Target but just wasn’t in the mood.  Hit up the gas station on the way home and then back home to unload. 

I was surprised to see Pumpkin Spice Krispy Kreme donuts out so early.  I couldn’t pass them up and brought 6 of them home with me.  I had two of them for lunch.  Wow, once that sugar rush wears off I am going to tank.  However, I was able to clean the house and put out my meds.  Working on more laundry and just playing on the computer. 

I don’t plan to stick around in front of this machine too long considering that I will spend more time in front of it next week.  I am planning on heading out for supper getting Mexican food.  Then I will be done for the day. 

It did sprinkle a little bit yesterday when I was out but I managed to avoid any real rain.  Thus I haven’t been back to the car wash.  Might stroll through there on the way home from supper.  The car looks so much better and brighter with regular car washes.  That became apparent to me yesterday. 

Here’s hoping for a great rest of the day and to enjoying some good food.  Talk with you all again soon. 

Forgot to hit publish

Welcome.  I had a nice post all composed, I thought I hit publish got side tracked with work.  Saw that I had a window open with my post and I closed it.  I was prompted about backing it up before closing but I said no.  Damn that was the wrong answer!

Things have calmed down at work or at least they did for the morning.  I am at an afternoon lull but that could change at any moment.  I’ve got 2 meetings this afternoon before the day is done. 

Tomorrow being Friday is a great thing but work is going to suck.  My afternoon and evening will be busy but it’s nothing I haven’t been through before.  Organized Chaos or something like that.  I have no concerns about making it through and I will be glad once tomorrow is over though. 

No specific plans for the weekend, thinking about Pizza from the place where the cute waiters usually are.  The last few times I have gone it’s been nothing but girls working and well that does nothing for me, but the food is still good.  I like food and eye candy its a great combo. 

Speaking of pizza I finished the Stromboli last night.  I had some cheese sauce that I put on one piece and it helped a little bit but honestly it needs pizza sauce.  I had another Apple Fritter with Cinnamon Sugar and a glass of milk for desert a few hours after I had my dinner. 

I wanted to go back to writing last night but I really wanted to watch TV as well.  I was torn but chose to watch TV.  Nothing specific just random You Tube videos.  I found an interesting conversation about VPN’s that I watched to the point where it started to lull me to sleep.  I stopped it and went to bed.  Resumed it this afternoon it was interesting not really entertainment per se but enjoyable to me. 

The cats are doing okay, still not playing with there birthday present.  In fact they don’t even sleep in it anymore, they just walk right by it like it’s not even there.  I’m going to bait it with some cat nip to see if I can get there interest back.  I honestly feel my gut is right that I wasted $70 but if I hadn’t I’d never know their reaction.  I put Rudy in it earlier in the week and he was just starting to get the hang of it when he ran away from me.  You can’t make a cat do something it doesn’t want to do but you can die trying. 

Super hot here and it’s going to get worse so says the weatherman the next two days will be the hottest days of the summer yet.  Nothing new really, were about to approach August so it’s on par weather.  Summer lives for a bit longer maybe 1 to 2 months and then we will jump into Fall. 

Hope you enjoyed the MAN CANDY that I posted.  I threw in a few extra photos for good measure.  Thanks for stopping by time for me to get to a meeting.  Take care!

Raw-Dogging It

Morning … Hope that everyone is doing well on this Friday eve.  Yesterday evening I reflected back on what an awesome time I had last Wednesday.  From watching the movie to asking the cute guy out who turned out to be straight.  That was the most thrilled/excited/happy I have been in a while.  Shame I can’t bottle that feeling up so I could have a little bit of it every day.  You’d think that hearing the word no would have gotten me down but nope I was just thrilled that I took a shot and even though I didn’t get the results I was expecting I was quite proud of my accomplishment.  It takes some nerve/guts to ask a complete stranger out.  Normally I’d have butterflies in my stomach but not this time.  I was a tiny bit nervous but more interested in the outcome than anything. 

Anyway here we are a week and a day later and I am back to the old grind.  I got a new Windows 11 machine at work.  I finally had time to configure it and get it the way I wanted it yesterday.  I started using it this morning.  I still miss my Windows 10 machine but this is the way things are going so it’s just a matter of getting used to something different, despite not liking it.  I don’t know why but my machine came to me without any protection.  So I was raw-dogging it until this morning when I gave in and put on Anti-Virus protection.  I thought about just keeping it raw but with the amount of crap that I see everyday it would only be a matter of time before something malicious occurred and then I’d have to get another new machine and go through the configuration steps all over again.  I’m not the normal user as we don’t let just anyone configure their machine.  It’s one of the minor perks and professional courtesy's that I get.  Now I the only thing I have left to worry about it getting my laptop swapped out in the office.  Yes, I have two machines 1 virtual so that I can work from home and 1 laptop.  I should carry the laptop home and make it my primary machine as that is what the rest of my team does but I hate lugging a piece of equipment back and forth, plus the laptop is a small form factor and it’s nice if your moving around the office but to sit at a desk or anywhere and plug away for hours on end from a tiny screen, no thanks.  I’ve got a docking station in my office so that the experience is more like a desktop than a laptop with 2 monitors, it’s kind of nice.  I was supposed to get new monitors over a year ago but that never happened and I could honestly care less.  Especially considering that I spend the bulk of my time at home. 

The rain moved in last night and it poured all night long.  I watched as my neighbors gutter overflowed as I looked at mine, all clean and wide open flowing normally.  I know mine won’t stay that way forever but it’s nice to see while it lasts.  I got the chicken wire guards on but stuff manages to sneak past them.  No matter what kind of gutter guards you have there is some maintenance required, at least that is my understanding.  Guess that is why my mind is always in the gutter.  Yeah I know poor attempt at humor but I liked it!

Finished off the pizza from Sunday yesterday for supper.  Tonight I will be forced to open the freezer and fetch something frozen.  I’ve been eating pretty good for a while but just like going back to work, all good things must come to an end.  At least the weekend is in sight so I can dine out and get some better food (not necessarily healthier or better for me) than frozen.

I wracked my brain yesterday looking over my Google Chrome settings as to why it doesn’t permit me to login to the Adult Content Blogs and if it will permit me to login it won’t permit me to comment.  I really wanted to hit the reset to default button but I’ve got so many adjustments in Chrome that it would take longer to reconfigure.  My work around appears to be to use Duck Duck Go’s Browser, so far nothing but good luck with that.  I hate the Google makes you push so many buttons now to get into an Adult content blog, I understand the need for safety but it’s way more complicated than it needs to be.  However, that old saying you get what you pay for applies – it’s free so I suppose I shouldn’t complain.  But I just did :). 

Thursday’s are usually calmer days so I am hoping that is true today.  Thus far it is but it’s still very early in the day.  I hope that all is well in your world and that life is treating you well.  Not sure about you but I am very much looking forward to the weekend.  Take care!

Another hot guy

Woke up super early and fed the cats, came back to bed since I still have that luxury.  I am gonna miss that come next week.  Woke up a couple hours later and got moving. 

House cleaning was my #1 priority and I knocked it out.  I put off taking the trash out until later in the afternoon. 

I was waiting all day for a call from AT&T but it never came.  I believe I am down to 1 issue and once they fix that I should be good.  Just waiting to hear back and that probably won’t happen until next week. 

While I was waiting I dove back into OF and found a Male photographer that caters to porn stars.  Damn he’s really good and he’s worked with a lot of good looking guys.  He’s got plenty of photos and video on his site.  Oddly he came up in my feed because he was having a sale.  I went to get my monies worth. 

Things were moving along nicely and then all of a sudden my monitors shutdown it was as if my machine went to sleep or was in hibernation.  I have both of those features disabled as I want my machine up 24/7 unless I choose to power it off. I had to force power off and then power back up. 

Once I got everything back up I knew I had lost my place on his page so I would have to start over and I had already been on it for a couple hours.  Yeah when I said he’s got a lot of content I am not kidding. 

I went upstairs and got a shower and dressed.  I wanted a good meal and knew I was going to shell out some serious money but this was the last hoorah so might as well go out with a bang. 

I got on the road and made it there just in time for the doors to open.  I was the first customer.  I was hoping for some Italian food to be on the list of special items but nope I settled for my usual Chilean Sea Bass.  It was good but as if someone dumped in a salt shaker with the meal.  Had some Snickers cheesecake for desert and I was quite full when I left. 

There was this hottie working with the normal bar tender.  I found out that he will be working tomorrow night all by himself.  Blond hair, Blue Eyes, a little muscle and of course a nice butt.  My mouth was watering all through dinner and I took every opportunity to stare at him.  I worked up a little bit of a conversation.  I had an opening to ask him out but I chose to forego it.  Just like the last guy I had no idea if he was gay.  However, it came up that he was only going to be there for the next month and then he was leaving.  If he is leaving the area no sense in starting something that would only be temporary.  He might have got a better job up the street but I didn’t inquire and just assumed that he was leaving the area.  I kind of want to go back and ask but considering that for my meal with tip I spent $66 that would be quite the expensive venture for another nights supper.  It’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s that I don’t want to spend it. 

I’m cautiously optimistic that the air is right and that a guy will come along.  He may or may not be the right guy but I am willing to give a chance to someone that I am attracted to if they are willing to give me the same chance.  Fingers crossed that positive change is in the air!

I have not looked at work email but the desire is there.  It’s going to be there on Monday and I have all weekend if I want to peek.  I just don’t look forward at all to Monday.  I’ve also got a Dentist appointment so that will be how I spend my lunch.  I probably won’t hurry back home. 

We are in for some nice weather.  Today was sunny and in the upper 70’s.  I pushed the trash out about an hour ago and it was actually pretty comfortable.  Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be in the upper 80’s and all sunshine.  Here comes the heat.  Perhaps I can get out and spray the perimeter of the house for bugs.  I really don’t want the cats to eat any bug even though I know that they can. 

Rudy just jumped up in my lap and he is ready to nod off.  He loves sleeping in my arms but that does make it a little difficult to use the computer.  This will be his second nap in my arms today.  Mora has got in her snuggles, belly rubs and petting.  So neither of them is starving for attention. 

Well time to get back to it.  Hope that you had a great Friday and that your weekend is awesome.  Talk with you all again soon.
