Wake up call

Morning, my day started at 4a when I was woken up by Mora jumping on me.  I was having the best dream.  I was with my late spouse at McDonald’s and we were enjoying breakfast.  I had just taken a job at a place that I used to work at, that was a complete nightmare.  I dream from time to time that I got sucked back in there.  For some reason I was elated about it because I figured I’d be making more money but I would also be doing a job that I really didn’t want to.  Just about the time I was going to bite into my second Sausage McMuffin with Egg is when Mora woke me up. I don’t see my late spouse often enough in dreams and was rather upset that Mora woke me up, I would have loved to at least finish my dream breakfast.  I haven’t had a Sausage McMuffin with Egg in a long time.  

Maybe I was talking in my sleep or maybe she just wanted to cuddle.  At any rate that’s what happened she snuggled up in my arm for a little bit.  Then Rudy came and sat on my chest and pressed on my stomach.  My bladder kicked in and I told them both I had to get up.  I returned to bed after using the restroom and then we all got situated again.  Rudy wound up by my feet and Mora was back snuggling in my arm. 

After a few minutes of trying, I realized there was no getting back to sleep so I turned the TV on and watched an episode of Sanford (this spin off from Sanford & Son).  It was on YouTube and I just wanted something to pass the time until I got groggy again and could go back to sleep.  That couldn’t happen fast enough for me.  After that was over with, I turned the TV off and had to move.  That caused Mora to leave me.  Which was fine because she was nipping at my finger thinking it was a play toy.  It hurts but she hasn’t broken the skin yet.  Her brother does it too from time to time, but he’s a bit gentler than she is. 

It took me a little bit but I managed to get back to sleep for a bit.  Then the trash truck came through and woke me up.  I was able to dose off for a bit before Rudy started his it’s time to wake up routine.  I cuddled with him since he was early and then we all got up to get Friday started. 

As per usual I am done with my morning tasks at work and have the rest of the day wide open just waiting for something to occupy time.  I have gone looking to help out but there isn’t anything pending right now that I can lend a hand with. 

Last night when I took the trash out, I noticed in one of my landscaping beds that there were a bunch of rather tall weeds.  It’s as if the lawn people haven’t been doing their job.  I broke out some Roundup and sprayed.  I will peek at it when I bring the empty barrel in later on today.  The last thing I want is to get in trouble with the city.  I’ve been thinking about buying a weed trimmer for a couple years now.  Every once and a while I find something that they skipped. 

Speaking of the yard since I fired my tree trimmer, I didn’t have any work done last year and managed to skate by just fine.  However, things are to the point now where I need to have work done.  I said I wouldn’t call him back because he charged me for a tool he forgot.  He went to buy one at a local store and magically the price of my bill went up by exactly what he paid for the tool.  Well, his prices are pretty fair and while I really don’t want to call him, I really don’t want to start over with anyone else.  A simple fall clean up that can be done later this year or early next year – it’s no rush. 

Yesterday's post I removed something that I really wanted to put in, it’s the Thirsty part of the post.  I know of one particular porn star that is local to my area (who shall not be named).  I was curious to see if he did escort work and when I went surfing, I didn’t find him but found another Twink porn star.  I actually thought about calling for a split second.  My dick was saying do it, we need this.  My brain however said its trouble steer clear of this.  I’ve never done anything like that before and know that it’s a tricky rope to walk so that you don’t violate the law.  The trick is that you're paying for a person's time and not for a sexual act.  If you pay for a sexual act that’s prostitution and highly illegal.  While I doubt that a porn star would be an undercover cop or wired, they probably approach each person that calls them with some suspicion.  I’m quite lonely and while I don’t want to just jump into bed, I want to form a connection and get to know a person before we go to the bedroom.  Paying for that would get awfully expensive.  That was heart/brain talking.  My dick says pay some money, have some fun – no strings.  However, I don’t know if I could just do casual sex.  I’m sure I’d form some kind of a bond and want more, again it could get awfully expensive.  Part of me felt a little cheap posting about it but another part of me said post it, get it out of your system.  It’s not going to get me laid but somehow it might benefit someone else. 

I am toying with getting back to the dating apps just to see if I can find someone but honestly, I have no hope and don’t think anyone that I’d be interested in (twinks late 20’s to 30’s) would be interested in me.  I suppose every older guy wants someone younger.  I’m not looking to support anyone or to have anyone support me in a financial way.  Spending money on each other is just part of dating and I’m okay with normal expenses in that respect.  Heck I’d even settle for someone in there 40’s.  I’m looking for a one and done, I don’t want to play game or cycle through several guys.  However, something about dating says you have to play games and you will likely go through several guys.  I don’t have the patience or ability to tolerate getting my heart broken.  It’s kind of held together by some crappy super glue as it is and quite fragile.  I’m vulnerable and know it.  I think that I will die alone but I am not expecting to die anytime soon.  Talk about agony and suffering.  However, I know you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take and that I am already alone.  Things are pretty grim in that respect so the only place they can go is up.  I like the single life in that you have no one to report to and there is abundant freedom.  However, I am kind of over being alone.  I guess it all boils down to a catch 22.  If there is a guy for me and he is out there here’s hoping that our paths cross sooner than later. I know that time really isn’t on my side here, as age continues to climb the less appealing I am. However, the heart wants what the heart wants. I'll keep you posted if anything develops.

Speaking of age were getting closer with each passing day to my birthday. That's something I used to look forward to when I was so much younger but ever since my 30's birthdays haven't been that appealing to me. My 35^th birthday was really special and it was all because of a friend I had at work that made things come together. I was so much happier then and just didn't realize it. Nothing yet has compared to the way that birthday was celebrated but I sure do have some great memories to reflect on.

Well, I should stick a fork in this post and call it done. Hope that you all have a great weekend and thanks as always for stopping by. Take care!

Happy Birthday Kids

Morning!  While most of America is celebrating Independence Day I am thankful that today is a dual celebration for me.  Rudy & Mora are one year older, now 6.  That’s still young for a cat and they both jump, run and play just like they did when I brought them home when they were 3.  They have matured a little bit and I have noticed some subtle changes.  Both of them show every sign that they are happy, safe and loved as well as love me.  I am so thankful for them.

Last night just as things were winding down chaos erupted.  Work called they had a power blip and the stupid card system freaked out and wasn’t working.  That meant I had to go in, so no supper for me. 

I was there from 6:30p until 9:20p.  I wracked my brain tried everything I knew.  Threw up my hands and placed a service call to a vendor.  I recapped everything for my team and closed up shop and was about to head out.  I took one last look and I power cycled something that I had done before but not by it’s self.  Turns out that was the secret and damn if everything didn’t come back to life.  I made my rounds to test every door to confirm everything was working and it was.  I was both pissed off and happy at the same time.  I had to log back in, send emails to tell everyone that things were back to normal and cancel the service call.  Then for good measure before I left for good I made one more round to test and everything is still working.  People think that I am some kind of wizard because I can make the system sing.  Perhaps I am smarter than I am giving myself credit for but it all feels like dumb luck to me. 

At least now I can exhale and hopefully enjoy my time off.  I just logged in to confirm things are still working just because I want to be extra sure. 

That was not how I planned on spending my evening and I hated to be away from home for so long but much more driving home in the dark.  As I got close to home I hit something on the freeway, not sure if it was an animal or what.  I looked down for a split second to change songs and when I looked up there was a ball like figure that came flying at my front tire.  Just about the time I sluffed that off I was on the exit ramp and a opossum was rolling around in the lane, it had obviously been hit and was dying but I didn’t want to hit it.  It probably would have been the right thing to do but something about killing an animal just doesn’t sit right with me.  I thought about the poor thing out there suffering as I continued on my drive home.  The image of seeing it is seared in my memory and I wish it would leave. 

Once I arrived home my furry friends greeted me and I passed out their overdue treats.  I had a donut and some milk that was my so called supper.  Watched the news which I never do at night and it was filled with depressing stories so I moved over to YouTube.  Got stuck down a rabbit hole watching video after video and soon it was 11:30p.  I got up took my sleeping meds and brushed my teeth.  I was still very amped up but close to 1a I finally got drowsy and fell asleep. 

I told Rudy that I wouldn’t want to get out of bed come morning.  He took that into consideration and did his best to rouse me at 6a but I resisted and he just camped out on top of me.  My body naturally woke me up closer to 7a and Rudy was right there and he sprung to life.  Making his biscuits, licking my forehead and so happy.  We cuddled a little bit and then I got up.  Gave a little attention to Mora who was at my feet.  Then made my way to the kitchen to get breakfast for them. 

I got a shower and put on a pride flag shirt that I normally wear on the 4th, but I noticed the shirt wasn’t fully clean so I had to scrap it and put on something else.  Not what I wanted to do.  Headed out for breakfast and had what I call Patriotic French Toast.  It was Strawberry, Blueberry with whip cream on top.  Red White and Blue. Pretty good too and I had some eggs to go with it. 

After eating I hit up the post office and then the car wash, saw a hot guy working at the car wash.  Then filled up my tank and came home.  What an expensive holiday morning this has been. 

Looking very forward to seeing my friends this afternoon.  Lord knows I have plenty to yap about. Tomorrow afternoon I plan to return to the buffet for lupper hopefully I will time it just right so that I can enjoy a little lunch and then some supper.  I am mainly interested in their BBQ Pork but the sloppy joes and fried chicken sound really good as well. 

I am so glad that I am done with work for 5 days, just like I knew I wouldn’t want to get out of bed this morning, I know I won’t want to go back but I need the money.  It’s been quite the long week and I hope to enjoy this little break.  Perhaps I will see a hot guy, ask him out and life will just fall into place.  Hey no charge for dreaming!

Thanks for coming along on the ride as I document my life.  I know you’ve probably noticed there was no eye candy this week.  I plan to remedy that soon.  Right now I think it’s time to take off my clothes, bask in the quiet and take a nice morning nap.  Both cats are napping and nothing makes me drowsy quite like watching a cat sleep. 

In case your wondering no neither of them have used their birthday present.  They get in it and once it moves they freak out and jump out.  I do think it was a waste of money.  I could disassemble it and send it back but that is more work than just eating the financial loss.  Besides that maybe just maybe one day they will use it as it was intended.  Once again no charge for dreaming. 

Take care, be safe and stay cool.  I look forward to our next chat. 

It’s a mistake

Before I left the house to venture out for supper I took my medicine.  Nothing wrong with that until I realized that instead of taking Monday evenings pills I actually took Tuesday mornings pills.  That’s a double dose of blood pressure medicine, diabetes meds and the list goes on.  I realized that I did this after I swallowed the pills. 

I’ve come close to doing this before but have always caught myself.  Today was the first time this happened.  I am a little concerned about it. 

I went out for BBQ and as I waited for my food I felt kind of ill.  I figured that my blood pressure was going to bottom out and I would pass out.  However, that didn’t happen my food came and I ate.  I felt full really fast which is abnormal.  However, I continued to stuff it down as it was good food.  I just ate a bit slower and took what seemed like forever to finish the meal.  Paid the bill and came home. 

I had planned a trip to Best Buy but figured that if there were going to be side effects from my mistake that I would much rather be at home than out in public.  It’s a little after 8p and thus far nothing has happened.  I did think about calling my doctor, going to an emergency room or stopping by the fire station and talking with a paramedic.  However, I did none of those.  Unless something happens I am just going to ride this out and hope for the best. 

Tomorrow morning I will take my afternoon pills for Monday and hope that my blood pressure and blood sugar remain in control.  Wednesday I will go back to a normal schedule if I don’t manage to mess it up again. 

Filled the Water Softener with salt and managed to get the bag stuck in the tank.  That too has never happened before.  Had to get a box cutter and slice the bag open to get all of the salt out and then I was able to remove the bag.  I added a second bag and it’s decently full now and should last me for several months.  Nothing like softened water, once you experience it you won’t want to go back to hard water ever.  Your skin and your clothes feel better and water to me seems to taste better but perhaps that is just psychological.

Got the laundry upstairs and put away.  Joined another OF site.  I’ve got 3 left and I’m not sure if I am going to binge on them or save them.  One thing for sure about porn is that I always want more and there is always a new hotter guy that enters and I become obsessed with their work.  Kind of sad that this is my sex life.  I do hope that I get to experience the real thing again before I die.  Time is not on my side when it comes to my age as we all have an expiration date.  However, sex is not the end all be all but it is highly important to me. 

I peeked at the weather and rain is no longer in the forecast for tomorrow, so the guy doing the gutter cleaning should be able to get the job done.  I hope he’s good looking but more importantly I hope that he does a good job and doesn’t wind up taking all my money.  The guy that did this last year was a cute muscle twink.  I wanted him so bad but just didn’t have the nerve to ask him out.  Especially since Mora was growling after he got out of the truck and was walking up to the house.  She doesn’t normally do that but then again I don’t get visitors often.  Still I place a lot of faith in my animals judgement and kind of took it as a warning sign.  However, the heart wants what the heart wants. 

I need to get up early tomorrow so I am ready when the gutter man gets here.  Plus I have a webinar to attend regarding a new health benefit.  After that the day is all mine and I can do whatever I want.  Here’s hoping I make some good choices and get to have some fun. 

Have a good night everyone and thanks for stopping by. 

Day 1 of Vacation

Good evening!

It’s been a day.  I am glad that it’s winding down and that I can start fresh tomorrow. 

Had Strawberry French Toast & Scrambled Eggs for breakfast just like I planned.  It was so good!  Stopped at the post office but all I had was junk mail.  I suppose that’s a good thing.  Back home and I passed time before it was time to leave for my haircut. 

Haircut went fine.  I bought some of their shampoo & conditioner.  I’ve wanted to do that for a while.  I didn’t ask the price but it was like paying for 3 haircuts.  I hope I like it as much as I think I will.

If I gave you 3 guesses as to where I went next I don’t think you’d guess correctly.  Hold on to your hat, I went to an AT&T store.  Yeah so things went full circle and I wound up switching back to being a post paid customer because AT&T was inflexible and wouldn’t permit me to change the name associated with my caller id.  It was a simple request but based on the “customer class” I was in (pre-paid) they wouldn’t budge.  I’m back to paying more money than I want to for the same service.  I signed up for an unlimited data plan but once I got a discount applied to my account I found a lower cost plan that is more in line with my needs so I switched to that.  The time I spent in the store was minimal.  However, I would spend the next couple hours putzing around on the computer to get my “new” account added and semi-configured the way I want it.  There is a 48 hour hold on my account since it’s “new” so I can’t make changes to the address, which they put in the wrong one or lock my account down.  It’s probably going to take a day or two for caller id to be flushed out so that my name shows up like I want it to.  I spent a couple additional hours putting together an additional complaint letter of new issues that I encountered.  I will likely get more bill credit for those but I am not holding my breath.  I expect that I am done battling with AT&T or I so hope.  It’s been an all month thing.  The biggest take away or lesson learned is NEVER act in anger.  I wish I would have never ported away and then I would have avoided all of this.  However, the things that happened to me shouldn’t have happened to anyone.  I am on the lookout for a new carrier but they have to have robust spam filtering like AT&T does – that’s the only reason why I have stuck with them.  Nothing would make me happier than telling them to pound sand, but I essentially said that in my letter tonight.  One thing for sure is that I will be well known there and not for something good. 

Made it to the doctor and got my blood drawn.  I expected horrible results due to additional stress both from AT&T and my job but things actually turned out okay.  Every time I tell the doc I think your going to get bad numbers I wind up wrong.  It makes me happy to be wrong in this case. 

Were going to keep an eye on my wrist to see what happens.  I don’t have carpal tunnel (never thought I did).  We talked about the medicine to lower my cardiac risk a bit more and after our discussion not taking the drug appears to be the right choice.  My cholesterol is tightly controlled and it’s doing very well.  That doesn’t mean my risk for stroke or heart attack are zero but it sure helps to tip the odds in my favor.  Let’s face it something is going to get us all in the end.  I just don’t want it to be a stroke or heart attack but it’s not like I get to pick from an array of options. 

Hit up Denny’s for supper tonight.  I was in one of those what do I want moods and couldn’t make up my mind.  I had a burger with an egg on it.  Not bad but the burger wasn’t nearly as thick as I had expected it to be.  Kind of wish I would have had the Nachos but I’ve got time so I can go back. 

Trash is finally out.  The cats are upset with me because I am in the basement and normally I am upstairs at this time.  I told them I am on vacation so it doesn’t matter.  It’s super cool outside but it feels humid in here.  Probably because I have been running around.  I just want to cool off and drift off to sleep. 

I had originally planned to waste away tomorrow by taking a muscle relaxer tonight.  It would help with my massage tomorrow evening but the thought of giving up a weekday off just doesn’t sit well with me right now.  I’ve got things I’d like to get done around here and places that I’d like to go.  Time is still on my side but this whole vacation business will be over and feel like a dream rapidly hence why I want to make the most of it. 

Yesterday work piled things on in the afternoon and it was a race for me to get out the door.  I made it but I was 30 minutes later than I wanted to be.  I was quick to turn work email off on my phone.  I absolutely dread the though of going back and having to dig out and clean up a mess but right now that’s a little ways off so I am trying to focus on me – the cats and just in general being away from work.  I need to decompress not only from work but from life in general. 

Tomorrow I’d like to make it to Sam’s Club.  I need to make another trip to the Home Improvement Center more light bulbs for the basement, chain saw oil and I’m sure I will find something else to add to the list.  Cats need more food as well.  If I get Sam’s & Cat Food I’ll consider that a win.  Then the big question is where to eat supper/dinner at. 

Well off to climb the steps and get ready for bed, try to relax a little bit and then perhaps get some sleep.  I wanted a nap earlier today but I managed to keep going.  Looking forward to my massage tomorrow night. 

Hope you all are doing well.  Talk with you again soon.  Take care!

Just do it

Morning and welcome in.  I looked into renting a dumpster and spending part if not all of my upcoming vacation as cleaning the house and getting rid of the crap that I when my late spouse passed. However, the cost was not what I was expecting. Several hundred dollars and you get 9 days to fill it up.

I scheduled the gutters to be cleaned. Last year I got a spot on quote and not a broad range. This year they gave me a broad range and the bitch I spoke with sounded like she was in the middle of Wal-Mart and annoyed that I called and bothered her. She told me that the guy I had last year wasn’t with them any longer. I knew that already. Wish he was still with them because if he would come back to do work at my house I would for sure ask him out. She told me the name of the guy that is coming. They demanded a mobile phone number which I really didn’t want to give. She scheduled me for Memorial Day as if it was just another day. Hey as long as you’re not charging me a holiday rate, I am fine with it. This won’t be an inexpensive job but I do hope I don’t wind up paying more than I did last year. 

Given that I have spent money on a new phone, scheduled the gutters to be cleaned, the last thing I want to do is shell out more money for a dumpster. Perhaps later this year or next year. I don’t want to keep putting that off because I really would like to clean this place up. Plus, I could have a large bed to sleep in. There would be plenty of room for the 3 of us – that is me and the 2 cats.

What a day Thursday is. My co-worker still hasn’t emerged from his leave and I am working on his part of the project. I know my boss is hounding him but by the time he shows up (if that actually does happen) I will have his part done. I am at the half way point now and it’s close to lunch. I’m doing this all on my own, no one told me to do his part.  However, I am being proactive because I just have the feeling that in the end I’d be asked to do his part.  Better to do it now while I actually have the time than under pressure when a deadline is looming.  When I am done I plan to tell my boss.  I figure that if things go well, I can knock out the other half this afternoon or between this afternoon and tomorrow. Since my co-worker had another kid and child care seems to be an issue for him, I am expecting that he will need more money and his wife will probably quit her job. That could very well mean that he changes jobs to get more money. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least. I still want to meet him in person so that I can give him a huge swift kick in the nuts for all of the headaches he’s caused me over the years. When we were on better terms, we had plans to meet up in person but it just never materialized and I don’t think it ever will.

We hired a semi cute guy to work at one of our other offices. He looks almost but not quite exactly like a knock off of Kyle Ross (deceased porn star). I saw his photo yesterday and he’s been on my mind a little bit. Our paths have already crossed by email and they will cross again just because of the nature of both of our jobs. I just hope he’s not a dummy. I doubt that we will ever actually meet in person but I suppose never say never because who knows what the future holds.  I am keeping it professional and keeping my horny dirty minded thoughts to myself, other than sharing this little bit with you. 

It's another cold and rainy day here. No shortage of things to do and I know the cats want their lunch so I am headed up after I get this posted. I hope that all is well in your world.  Take care!

It’s here

My new phone arrived less than 5 minutes ago.  UPS person just walked up and placed it on my porch like it was just another package.  No signature required, which is exactly how my last phone came back in 2022.  I don’t get it with something so valuable you’d think Apple would require a signature.  At any rate I have it and have unboxed it.  It came with a 76% charge on the battery.  I’ve got it charging now and unlike other iPhone’s I have gotten in the past I am not anxious to make the change. 

My Mophie case arrives today as well and after making sure that fits my phone and sticks to the magnet mount in my car, I will charge it.  Thursday is when the glass protection arrives and provided the accessories are in place is on I will make the change.  It will either be a Thursday night or Friday night thing. 

Thinking about all of the things I do like taking screen shots, using tap to pay I think I will probably require some fumbling around before I get used to the new phone and how it works.  It’s so much bigger.  I got the purple blueish one in case your wondering.  The Mophie case only comes in black so the color of the device will mostly be hidden.  I would have much preferred Red but that wasn’t offered. 

Check back and you will here how things are going.  I’ve already explored my carriers websites and know exactly the steps I need to take to get my new device activated.  I am apprehensive, nervous but also a little bit excited.  Not to mention anxious for way better battery life.  Fingers crossed when I am ready that this all goes way better than I am expecting!

Yesterday was a cold day but we made it with the space heater.  It was nice when we went to bed but the house was cold again this morning.  Today the sun is out and it’s supposed to be warmer and more normal in terms of temperature.  I’ve got the space heater on upstairs for the cats but will probably turn it off at lunch.  I’ve got another one in my office that has been going.  It’s always cold in the basement until we get to summer and then temperatures equalize. 

Enjoyed my take out BBQ Turkey for dinner last night.  It was so good.  Rudy didn’t bug me but his nose was going and he looked in my direction.  It was nice being able to enjoy a meal cat free. 

Watched the last episode of The Righteous Gemstones.  Man that didn’t end like I ever though it would.  Sad that it’s gone I thought I had one more week but nope it’s over.  It was a great show!  The cast was really good.  I really enjoy John Goodman’s work.  Adam Devine is pretty good and not bad on the eyes, never thought I’d see him in a gay role but wow he did a great job.  I have a crush on Skyler Gisondo despite knowing he’s straight and married.  Walton Goggins gets on my last nerve, there is just something about him no matter what he’s in I am not a fan of his.  Seann William Scott is also really hot but he was only on this year, I’ve always had a thing for him ever since American Pie.  I’d love to see his Stiffler!

Got in some play time with the cats.  Had some cookies and milk and got ready for the morning.  Watched a comedy crowd work special on You Tube to pass the rest of the evening.  I was supposed to shave and take a shower but I honestly didn’t feel like it and there isn’t anyone here to complain about it.  I will get it done tonight.  Got some new sweatpants to put on, they look really comfy, hope my eyes are deceiving me. 

I am working on a big project at work, most of my part of the work is done but I am waiting on another team to finish their part so I can complete mine.  I am also waiting on the mistake maker to sign in and complete his part.  We talked last week so any day now.  If his part isn’t done by Thursday I will be calling him again and probably will wind up doing his part I really hope it doesn’t come to that. 

Found out that another clusterfuck is in the works a project is starting to take shape and I really think this is money that they are wasting but it’s not my money.  It’s also going to cause a bunch of work for me in the short and long term, so hence why I am not overly excited about it.  No one asks me for my input – management just does their stupid thing thinking they know best when that is not always the case.  Guess that’s why I am a worker bee. 

Today isn’t so bad.  My wrist is bothering me a little bit.  I didn’t sleep in the brace last night and wow that was refreshing.  I had to put it on this morning for a while while I was doing some keyboard and mouse work.  Right now things are okay.  I hope whatever I tore, sprained or messed up heals up pretty fast and that this won’t be another lingering thing that I have to get used to.  I see the doc in a few weeks and I will be sure to mention it to him.  Damn me and my bad luck. 

Well just about time for a meeting so I guess it’s back to work and then I can go up and enjoy some lunch with the cats.  They have both been greeting me at the top of the stairs when I have went up a couple times.  I know they miss me and are both eager for attention plus some food.  I really lucked out with them.  Rudy tried waking me at 6 but since I wasn’t having it he let the alarm clock do the job at 7a.  I set the alarm just in case but most mornings Rudy or my body do the job on their own, the alarm rarely goes off. 

Hope the sun is shining where you are and that your having an awesome day.  Thanks for stopping by. 

Snowy Sunday

I we have had multiple seasons this weekend.  Going from Summer to Spring back to Winter.  Weather is fickle but I know eventually things will even out and then we will be back in the boiler for the summer. 

Rudy woke me up around normal time this morning but I convinced him to lay down on top of me and give me 15 more minutes.  I just needed to pass some time before I got out of bed, only because I was making a Target run. 

Woke up 15 minutes later and passed out breakfast for the cats.  Then I got going.  Headed out for my Strawberry Waffle and scrambled eggs.  It wasn’t bad, but Huddle House still hands down has the best Strawberry Waffle just my opinion. 

Made my Target run and it was 30 degrees out, I saw snow a couple times this morning but it’s all gone now.  Just a dusting like powered sugar.  Heard a fire engine as I was coming out of Target and thought that was rather odd and early for an Emergency vehicle. 

My next stop was the grocery store and there was a serious car crash just in front of where I normally turn to get into the grocery store.  Two fire engines, Two ambulances, Multiple Police Cars and two vehicles.  One of which had kids because I saw the kids seats in the middle of the street as I passed by.  Not the way I think anyone wants to start their morning and I felt bad for both of the people involved. 

I got to the grocery store via another entrance and then made my rounds.  By the time I got back to the Bakery area I heard a helicopter, that’s not a good sound and I knew that it was likely a medical chopper that was flying someone out.  The police still had every thing all blocked off when I left.  I had to go into the on coming traffic lanes for a short bit to get by them.

Made it to the gas station and filled up.  Then headed home.  While I was at the grocery store thinking about the colder weather and realizing that I honestly didn’t want to get back out in it I opted to pick up a frozen pizza.  That’s going to be dinner.  I hope I got something half way decent.  It’s a rising crust sausage and pepperoni.  Not a Tombstone because the grocery store doesn’t carry that brand, have to visit a different grocery store for that. 

Also impossible to find the Late Night Craving Sizzling Cheeseburger Doritos anywhere.  Not at the grocery store and not at Target.  I looked over the bag that I am about to finish, this week and no where does it say limited time but sounds like it might have been.  I am not much of a chips guy but damn these were really good and I’d like to pick up another bag for a reasonable price. 

Gave the car time to cool down and check the battery.  The overall battery health has improved and it was at 95% charged.  Since the weather has turned cold and I have no plans to go back out today I hooked it back up to the battery charger/maintainer.  Buying a new unit was the best decision I could have ever made.  It’s super smart and fool proof plus there are no buttons to press, you set it once and it remembers.  Just hook up the cables and plug it into power and it does the rest automatically.  Guess that’s why it’s called a Genius. 

I’ve got another load of laundry going, it’s the last load that I just didn’t have time for last night.  Rudy is sleeping in my lap as I type this and he looks so damn cute, as usual. 

I have made my rounds on the internet and came across a very interesting article that the FDA is cracking down on poppers producers [ https://www.fastcompany.com/91298370/fda-poppers-crackdow-double-scorpio-stops-operations ].  Apparently RFK Jr. thinks that poppers caused aids, which we all know is not the case.  Many states have also requires that you upload a Government issued ID before you can view porn on-line to make sure that youngsters aren’t viewing the material.  If you know anything about computers at all you can get around that requirement with a VPN.  However, it wouldn’t surprise me if eventually it becomes law in all of the US.  I think that this is just the start of things to come. 

Poppers probably aren’t the best thing to be inhaling but they have a purpose and apparently lots of guys love them.  I’ve tried them in the past and actually have some here still.  They don’t do anything for me really other than make me turn bright red and cause a rush of blood and heat to my head/neck and chest.  Not exactly a pleasant feeling.  My understanding is that is normal reaction.  They are supposed to make muscles relax and cause a euphoric sensation.  That’s just not the case for me.  I mention the article incase you use poppers and are in the US, might want to stock up but I am guessing they will be tough to find given the fact that the FDA is cracking down on them. 

The world would be a much better place if we could all just get along.  I suppose that would make it more like Paradise and less like real life but damn it sure does sound quite enjoyable to me.  I can only hope that our current leadership in the US doesn’t fuck things up so bad they can’t be undone when we get a normal person in the white house, I also feel sorry for the folks that will be stuck cleaning up the mess but sadly we have 4 years of this shit and it’s only just begun that is the part that really sucks. 

Well time to publish this post, check on the laundry and head up to enjoy some TV and relax.  Monday will be here soon enough and I already know my boss will say when we first meet up next “it’s so good to hear your voice, I’ve missed you”.  What a load of horse shit.  I want to say I wish I wasn’t hearing your voice I was doing just fine until you started to speak.  Can’t you go back on vacation, we all got along fine without you and I kind of would like more of that.  Yeah not exactly the right thing to say but I sure can think it.  The only good thing about the boss coming back is that it is less likely that I will have to deal with his boss but not a 100% guarantee. 

Hope the weather is great in your neck of the woods and your having an awesome day.  Talk with you all again soon!

Poked 3 times

Welcome … I hope the weekend is going well for you.  It’s not bad here but I’ve had a couple of issues crop up. 

Amazon never did show up with my battery charger.  I called this afternoon and they are sending a replacement shipment that is supposed to arrive on Monday.  The original unit is still in transit but there was a shipping issue.  I might wind up with two of them.  Although they told me I could send one back if I get two. 

My cyst was driving me nuts and I opted to try draining it on my own, this was a bad mistake.  I used a sterile syringe & needle.  I started by washing my hands and wrist with warm soapy water.  Then dried off.  Swabbed the cyst twice with two different alcohol pads and then busted open the syringe.  I poked it directly in the middle but the needle wasn’t fully in and when I went to draw back on the syringe the needle came out.  I got nothing but a flash of blood.  I poked it again from the side and was able to draw back on the syringe.  I got a little more blood but nothing else.  Finally my last poke I opted to stab it from the top.  I pushed and it hurt but I pushed some more.  I felt it in me and wanted to make sure that I was inside the cyst as much as possible.  I kind of wish I went deeper.  However when I pulled back on the syringe I got nothing but a little bit more blood.  To say that I wasn’t happy was quite the understatement.  All I did was make things worse.  The area is sore now and bruised a bit.  It did increase for a short time in size but has since shrunk.  This morning it’s all red and warm which means it’s infected.  I did a virtual doctors visit and found that it might be a fibrous cyst, not all of them are filled with fluid.  However, it is possible that my doctor may choose to try to inject a steroid into it to see if that will shrink it.  Most likely I am going to wind up getting referred to another doctor for the drainage or surgical removal.  Honestly I am fine with leaving it in just make it go back to being not a huge pain and so swollen.  At any rate I got some antibiotics and they are hitting me hard it’s almost like I am taking the medicine for an infected tooth.  1 pill 3 times a day for 7 days.  I will be at the doctors office on Thursday so he can touch it and hopefully I can talk him in to trying something first before throwing up his hands and sending me off to see a colleague.  I’m looking for relief sooner rather than later.  At least I had the foresight to recognize the infection and caught it in the early stages before it spread and put me in grave danger.  I know that shit moves fast and the sooner you act the better you are.  I am mad that I gave in to trying to fix this on my own but I was tired of suffering and going to the ER probably wouldn’t have yielded any thing different other than maybe some diagnostic testing. 

I did get up super early and got my shower and on the road.  I went to a place that is an hour and half away.  I got curious on the way down and discovered an energy facility.  They had the most amazing smoke stacks.  I’ve seen them before in the distance but never up close.  The smoke was billowing out but the bulk of it was stagnant.  I was enjoying the view and wish that I would have taken some photos and video.  I was in the country and there wasn’t anyone around.  Found out that the restaurant had a breakfast buffet on the weekends, that sounds temping.  However my eyes were set on a Philly Cheesesteak Omelet.  I had to wait forever for it to show up and it was red damn hot.  Tasted delicious but the steak could have been sliced a little thinner.  It was easily 5 or 6 eggs.  I got toast with it and had a soda.  It was $15 and I left a nice tip.  The waitress was really friendly and gave me a large soda to go.  The trip home was a bit of a challenge because my GPS headed me to a road that was closed.  I remembered where I came into town and took that way back home.  I was a little out of the way.  I was on some country roads that seemed like they would never end.  I decided to put my foot on the pedal and was up to 120.  I liked the speed but hate what I did to my gas tank.  That was a huge fuel suck but I did it twice because you know once just isn’t enough.  I wanted to get home to get online with a doctor about my wrist plus I had to use the bathroom.  This was a very enjoyable trip and I might make it again next weekend and try the buffet. 

The vehicle feels pretty good and is running well I think it enjoyed the trip more than I did.  I am interested to see where the battery is now.  I’ve been back out since coming home.  Stopped for cat food, medicine, mail and grabbed something to eat.  I’m giving the network time to go to sleep and for things to cool down a bit.  Then I will go back out with my meter and see what the health check says.  I still think that I am headed towards a new battery the only question is when.  If there is plenty of life left in it no shop will replace it under warranty but I know they would sell me a new one for cost and I am sure that’s up from when I originally purchased what’s in there now.  My late spouse had an SUV and the damn thing ate batteries, winter seemed to kill it quicker than anything.  Even after he passed I think I put at least one battery in it before I wound up getting rid of it. 

In other news I watched the latest episode of The Pit.  Lost it over a little girl passing away.  This show is so damn real it feels like I am in an actual ER.  Then I finished up the Netflix series Zero Day.  It got really good and I just had to watch to the end.  There was a couple plot twists that I never expected but the mystery was solved in the end.  I was all keyed up after watching it but managed to somehow slow things down and watched some Night Court and then I was out like a light until early morning when my bladder woke me up.  The next time I woke up was at 6:30a when Rudy was making biscuits on me.  He wanted his food, I just couldn’t believe morning came around so quickly.  It was a little after midnight when I turned the lights out.  I wanted more sleep but was also excited to get moving.  I didn’t get back home until 10:30a

Almost worked in a nap but I was tired and moved from the chair to the bed, that was enough to wake me up and I couldn’t fall asleep.  Watched some YouTube videos and then just got up and started moving. 

I’ve taken care of my work task.  I need to get up at 6:30a to do testing because of monthly patching.  I want to keep on schedule so that I make it to breakfast, the grocery store and gas station at my usual times so that I have the morning to rest.  I’ve been blessed with the fact that it’s been quiet all day but I have had some spam roll into to my work email account that annoyed me and made me think that I was getting work.  I could go all weekend without hearing the email alert for my work email account.  Here’s hoping that the quiet continues for work. 

Talk with you all again soon.  Stay warm and be well.

Weekend Recap

Friday night I made the Tombstone pizza and it was just as good as I remembered.  The house had a good smell and Rudy really begged me to let him have some, but I didn’t give in. 

Saturday morning it was raining and I just couldn’t bring myself to get out in the rain.  It was much better to be lazy and stay home.  I had left over Tombstone pizza (cold) and some left over cake that I had from the store.  That was breakfast.  Then it was watching TV and loafing.  Until mid-afternoon when I got a shower and then ventured out.  I went back to the Mexican place by the office.  I had a way different and much better experience.  The food was good and I had way too much salsa.  It talks back.  I love it but it just doesn’t love me.  Hit up the post office and pet food store.  Not sure why but the pet food store shelves look like were back in the pandemic.  Not much variety at all.  I managed to leave with an $84 bill but that included a bag of high quality dry food.  Cats are expensive. Then back home to unload and play on the computer. 

Sunday was the normal stuff.  The hot guy at the place I get breakfast from spoke to me, it was a brief and professional encounter.  I learned that he was getting ready to go back to school later in the year.  He’s got to be in his early 20’s.  Nice to look at but I think a bit too young for me.  That won’t stop me from looking though.  Had a decent breakfast.  I wanted more eggs but they had a strict 2 egg limit due to supply.  Wow never encountered that before and hope that it’s gone soon.  I like my eggs at breakfast time.  The grocery store had a few more people than normal but for the most part it was very manageable.  I felt like I dashed through the place and didn’t hardly buy a damn thing.  My mind was on Fried Chicken of all things.  Came home, unloaded and had my nap.  Then started on putting out pills and getting lunch for the cats.  Worked on mopping the floors, that confused both cats but Mora followed me.  I use a steam mop and when it started pouring out the steam that scared her and she ran away.  I am sure that if I used chemicals I could probably get the floors cleaner.  It all stems from a cat that I had a long time ago that had contact dermatitis.  He was allergic to the chemicals and his paw pads would break out in a rash.  Ever since then I switched to steam and haven’t looked back.  I’m sure both of my cats now would probably be okay but I’d rather not take the chance.  I did a short load of laundry from the bathroom floor mats.  Rudy went into to investigate and was confused that there were no floor mats.  He loves to lay on them.  I played on the computer for a while and the cats kept me company.  When the laundry was done I was done with the computer.  I made my way back upstairs and watched some TV to kill a bit of time.  Finally time to leave to get Fried Chicken.  I went to KFC.  Normally I go in and should have stuck with that.  On the way there I hit a doozy of a pot hole.  Then went through the drive up and curbed one of my wheels.  I was so pissed about both of those.  I damaged my wheel, it’s only cosmetic though.  However, I did enjoy my fried chicken when I got home and had to fend off Rudy.  They didn’t have all legs like I like so I got a mix and had a large breast.  It was juicy and delicious.  I was full when done but really felt like one more piece but didn’t indulge.  Just watched TV and did some writing to pass away the rest of the day.

Here we are again at Monday.  Nothing much going on and things are quiet.  I am thinking about more Fried Chicken.  However did some surfing this morning.  One of the content creators that I subscribed to did work with Joshbigosh and had PPV content.  I’ve never ever purchased PPV content but really wanted what he had.  I have always wanted to see Josh in a full scene.  Well I shelled out $20 this morning and have 2 hours of content to watch.  It’s just what I wanted and I am happy with my purchase.  I am letting my OF subscriptions run out and don’t plan to renew any of them.  However, I am sure at some point there will be some content that lures me back and I am okay with that.  As you might imagine I am quiet excited with my purchase and will be taking some time to watch and enjoy.  I just did some quick skimming thus far. 

As for our weather event I heard the forecast this morning it’s a Wintery Mix and it will happen in two parts.  Tuesday will be mild so they say with maybe 2 inches of snow.  It will be later in the afternoon so the commute home could be tricky.  Wednesday morning is when the next round is supposed to hit and they are saying 3 to 4 inches of snow.  I am keeping my eye on what they say but based on what I have heard thus far I am content with staying home.  Not that I really want to. I would rather be able to make it one day in the office just to make an appearance.  Better safe than sorry.  I will be on-call next week so I will be here all next week for sure.  It may very well be later this month or even March before I am back in the office.  On the bright side if things aren’t too horrible I’ve got that extra shovel from the last storm that I can use to help me clear the driveway if I decide to get out.  This round of weather is suppose to be more tame than what we had last month so I am thinking I might just be able to drive through it without doing any driveway cleaning.  If I think that I need it I know from last time to call someone early if I think I will need them instead of waiting until after the storm. 

Well I suppose it’s time to take a break from the computer, go sit with the cats and hope that no one bothers me for a while.  If that is the case then I won’t be back in front of the computer until after lunch.  Today was one of those days that started off with me wanting to just call in and take the day off.  I had some extra sleeping meds and was super groggy but I am proud of myself that I pushed through.  Felt like my reward was the PPV content that I purchased.  I had messaged that content creator a couple times and figured that he would never ever get back to me.  The younger generation moves way too damn slow for me.  I am all about instant gratification and responses. 

I hope you had a nice weekend and that all is well in your world.  Take care!

Popping this morning

Hi and welcome in!  I had a bout of insomnia last night.  Since my bedroom is mostly dark at night I take small steps just incase there is a cat on the floor.  I also feel in my recliner before I sit down.  I was glad I did that last night because Mora was there all comfy cozy.  Not a usual spot where she rests but I know that both cats do sleep there occasionally.  I know that if I would have sat down I probably would have been bitten or scratched and considering I was naked everything would have been fair game.  Since I saw her there I told her to stay put and I got back in bed and turned on the TV.  As soon as I got comfy she got up.  Typical cat.  I got up and took her spot before she had a chance to change her mind.  She opted to roam the house and play since I was awake.  Rudy stayed in bed and just waited patiently for me to return.  Mora came back to bed and stretched out where my feet go.  Just as she got comfy is when I decided to climb back into bed and go back to sleep.  She moved but wasn’t terribly happy about it. 

My body woke me up several hours later about a half hour too early from the time I would normally get up.  I just closed my eyes and waited.  Eventually I attracted Rudy’s attention and since he knew I was awake he started making biscuits.  We got a few minutes of cuddle time and he smiled at me.  He’s always so happy in the morning, doesn’t matter the day of the week.  I think he is more pleased that it’s time to eat than anything but for all I know he’s just happy I am awake or perhaps both. 

I rolled out of bed and made my way to the bathroom where Rudy started his begging dance where he paces a little bit then jumps on my leg and just looks at me cute and with that smile.  I told him I’d take care of him and that he’s never going to starve as long as I am around.  He gets impatient and must think that I’m going to forget him. 

I feel more normal this morning than I have in a while.  I still have a cough but had no sinus congestion.  My neck is clicking and popping with almost every turn.  It doesn’t hurt just is annoying since it’s not the norm.  I’m used to a pop or crack once and a great while.  Hopefully that will calm down as the day wears on. 

Today is an easy day at work at least from the look of my calendar.  I’ve taken care of a couple of issues that have popped up but I’ve only got one task and I usually put that off until the afternoon.  Meanwhile I can take a break and hope that I am not needed.  If that turns out to be the case then I get time away from the screens if I choose to take it and trust me when I say I will be taking it.  Tomorrow looks a lot like today but I have a couple more things to do.  One thing I have learned is that you can plan all you want but the day has plans of it’s own and usually no two days are a like.  However, I am taking advantage of every break or ability to get away this week while I can.  Next week I won’t have that luxury since I’ll be back on-call.  I hate that but then again so does everyone else that has that responsibility.  Sadly it’s not going anywhere.  If I ever would change jobs I’d look for something that didn’t have an on-call responsibility but it’s quite common in IT to have that requirement.  Just that I am not on the front line, those folks really get bothered every damn day of the week and there is no rest on the weekends.  So while I complain I know that it can always be far worse than it is.  The others on my team have no idea what that feels like (to be the front line). 

Our temperatures have normalized but I know that more cold is coming.  Still before I take out the trash I will be pulling the battery charger off the vehicle.  It should be fine come Saturday when I am ready to leave again. 

Hoping that it’s a great quiet day and that I can relax more than I work.  I hope the same for you.  Stay warm & well!

Semi-Satisfied

Last night I found a site that helped to semi-satisfy my request to view Joshbigoshs (aka Ottersquatter) content.  It’s called boyfriend tv. You have to sign up for an account and they do verify your email with an activation link, but it’s totally free and no credit card is required.  They do tag the video and have a banner scroll across the top a time or two but it doesn’t really detract from the content, it’s just an annoyance.  I found some additional content for other stars that I wanted to see.  Granted the content is dated and not current but then again you get what you pay for.  I am still on the hunt for more current content but don’t want to shell out a small fortune for it.

An update on our snow, looks like were fine today.  The snowfall will occur overnight into the morning commute just enough to louse up Friday.  I already see ads on social media for companies saying to sign up now to get “on the list” for snow removal.  It’s 4 inches while it’s an inconvenience if that is all I had in my driveway I’d be perfectly fine.  I don’t have an overwhelming desire to clean and clear the driveway and sidewalk each and every time it snows.  I just wait for Mother Nature to take care of it with some warmer temperatures and rain to melt and wash it away.  If I was expecting company for some reason then my approach is different, it’s more of a deterrent for people to stay away and leave me alone, which might I add does work wonders.  Although I am still waiting for someone to knock on the door asking about snow removal, this is the one time I’d make an exception to my no soliciting sign. 

Finished up watching an hour long harassment video at work and taking a quiz.  I’ve sat through so many of these that it’s kind of pointless to watch.  I am an adult and well aware of how to conduct myself.  The only really new thing I learned is that if you cuss that could be construed as unwelcome conduct and could cause problems.  Thankfully in professional/business conversations I don’t use foul language.  Not saying it never happens because I do slip now and then.  While it’s colorful and can help express tension in a conversation or even convey some levity it’s got no business in a professional environment.  I’ve been told in the past at a different employer if you like someone and want to ask them out, you can make one request.  If they decline your done and can’t continue to ask or beg.  It’s wise to read and know your companies policies on this subject as well as what the law says both Federal and State.  However, most of it is just common sense stuff.  If you know right from wrong the odds of you getting into trouble I’d say are pretty slim, unless you talk with your emotions (ex. thinking with the wrong head). 

In other news last nights supper I wiped out the last of the pizza.  It was good, added some ranch to the first few bites to help spice it up but the dressing gets to me after a while and I know my limit.  I’m fine eating a salad covered in the stuff but I suppose its the pizza grease mixed with the dressing that causes the issue.  Anyway after a while I had a large slice of Peanut Butter Silk pie.  This was about an hour after I passed out treats.  Rudy still thought that he was entitled to something but I shut him down.  He ate his treats and pouted a bit.  Then we snuggled back up on the couch for about an hour and then it was time for bed.  I gave into his playtime request before I went to bed.  He also nagged me for cat nip.  It was like excuse me but aren’t you forgetting something?  Mora came to bed right away but Rudy lingered and was playing on his own until he wound down and came in.  He guards me all night long like a military solider on watch.  I think that if someone actually came in he would probably be friendly with them but not Mora.  Hopefully, we never ever get to find out at least it is not in my plans. 

I did watch some porn before bed and man that sure was a good time.  Then it was just finding content to watch while I waited for my sleeping meds to kick in.  They always sneak up on me.  One minute I think I am fine and the next thing I know I am waking up and getting up and climbing in bed. 

It’s going to be a long day I think.  Not much is going on this morning.  I’d love to take a stroll outside and see what kind if any progress I could make on my driveway but I think doing anything else is just a summons to “The Gods” that I get overwhelmed with work and I had plenty of that yesterday.  I was damn busy at this same time yesterday.  I am thankful to say that I am caught up and current at the moment. 

I felt so good yesterday and I don’t feel bad right now.  However, I have had some issues this morning that make me think I am far from done with this damn infection.  I continue to move forward taking my pills and hoping for the best.  I am more than ready to be done with this.  I used to get sick all the time when I was younger now not so much but when something attacks me it tends to linger and fester.  It’s not a fun fight.  I still to this day blame my childhood family doctor who passed out injections and pills of Penicillin like it was candy.  It made me well then but now I am allergic and not just to that but to other antibiotics as well so my treatment options when I get an infection are severely limited.  I am just waiting for the day that I am told to report to the hospital for IV antibiotics.  The last thing I ever want is a hospital stay but I suppose if I was sick enough it wouldn’t matter a whole lot. 

Hope that your warm and well.  The rest of today and one more day then the weekend is here.  Here’s hoping that I continue to improve and I can be well again soon.  Take care!

Back 2 it

Not exactly sure how I managed to make it through this morning.  I had a sleepless night woke up around 2a and got a little bit of sleep around 6a.  I snuggled with Mora in bed for a bit and she did help get me back to sleep.  I’m sure it was anxiety from all of the digging out at work.  I didn’t exactly feel the greatest but some how I pulled it together had breakfast, got dressed and made it downstairs and logged in. 

I had no idea where to start so I just dug in and went from issue to issue until I started seeing my way clear.  The team left me a ton of work in our queue and I plowed through that as well.  By lunch time I was sitting pretty. 

I did go up a bit early to grab my lunch and as luck would have it had to come back early because of a crisis that has long since been dealt with.  It’s been from one thing to another all day long and were not done yet. 

I have caught up on all of my personal surfing, bill paying and finances.  Now just have to manage to make it 2 more days before the weekend arrives to hopefully provide me some rest. 

I feel okay but am battling a cough right now and my nose has been bothering me a little bit.  Still taking the pills.  Funny thing is when I get sick my gag reflex kicks in and I get nauseated just to take pills.  It happens also from time to time.  I can think of something better that I would love to gag on but that’s my dirty mind. 

Speaking of dirty mind I was scrolling through social media last night and saw a photo of Ottersquatter (aka Joshbigosh) with some porn stars that film on Only Fans.  Man he really gets me going.  I’ve always wanted to see him in a video but never had the luxury yet.  I was subscribed to his so called free OF but that’s just a scam as he has some content that he will release but it’s all pay per view but he did release some teasers from time to time.  Since my juices were once again flowing and still are since I am thinking of him I took time to watch some porn last night.  Here’s hoping that I get to see Ottersquatter in action on video soon.  He’s super cute at least to me. 

Since were talking cute, Rudy curled up next to me on the couch and fell asleep in the cutest position.  The sun was out when I was up for lunch and both cats love to sun bathe every chance they get. 

As if we don’t already have enough snow there is about four more inches on the way tomorrow evening into Friday.  My neck of the woods got 8 inches from our last storm.  I haven’t shoveled my drive way yet so if we get those 4 more inches I will have a foot of snow to content with.  My only fear is getting stuck in my driveway or worse not being able to get back in my driveway all the way.  As for getting out that seems to be the easy part.  I have plans to try to tackle this on Friday because that’s when the trash can is supposed to be set out.  Trash is running a day behind because of Monday’s snow storm.  The trash provider usually calls but this time they just plastered it on social media in hopes that everyone would see it.  I just don’t want to kill my poor back and be laid up for a day in bed or worse get even sicker on top of what I am trying to get rid of.  I did think about calling someone but most people want cash or Venmo.  I don’t use any apps to send money like that, I’ve got the old fashioned checkbook and while I am sure that sounds fishy to the younger crowd I’ve never written a bad check in my entire life and don’t plan to start.  I also was surprised to see posts of people who said they called certain companies who promised to show up but never did.  It’s so much easier to say were booked or we don’t have the bandwidth rather than outright lie.

Kind of feels nice to be back in the so called groove.  Still hate having to work for a living but I know for sure it could be worse so I am thankful for what I have. 

Hope your having a good day and thanks for stopping by!

Sleep Issues

Hello and thanks for stopping by. I’ve been having some sleep issues. I will pass out at a decent hour but then after a few hours I am awake. Be it a call to the bathroom or the temperature in my room (I get hot at times under the covers and have a heat intolerance). To fix it I typically have to stay up for an hour and then I am drowsy and can go back to bed. Problem is that whatever time is left to sleep goes by way too fast. Usually if I am worried about something I run into trouble like this. I have had a few worries and a couple of long-time co-workers that just vanished was quite a shock to my system. I often worry or am bothered by things that are out of my control, yet I still worry as if that’s going to help things.

I thought that since we made it to the weekend that I could at least get a decent night’s sleep Friday night into Saturday. However, I woke up to use the bathroom and now suddenly I can’t go back to sleep, despite trying. What to do? Watch tv is my usual go to. Silly me I picked a movie out. Carry On from Netflix. It’s an action movie. Once I started that movie I couldn’t stop. It was a damn good movie and I was interacting with the TV as if my voice was somehow going to change the story line of the movie. I bothered the cats a little bit but they fell back to sleep like nothing ever happened. I should have stuck with a YouTube video or something mild. Normally I like to hear a podcast some talking will usually lull me back to a drowsy status.

I made an agenda for today last night and am proud to say that I accomplished everything. I got up early thanks to Rudy who wanted breakfast. Then I got a shower, put on some fresh clothes, threw on my hat & coat and headed out. First stop was fast food breakfast. Then to the post office and finally to get my haircut. It was cold out and pouring rain. Once I was done with all of that I came back home. Opened the mail and watched TV with the cats to pass the morning into early afternoon by. Then I left and headed into the office. Turns out this was my first time there in a month. I didn’t think it had been that long but the last time I was there was late October, according to the calendar in my office. I hung up a new calendar. Changed the day at a glance calendar that my employer provides. Passed out a couple of cards. Grabbed my water bottle and headed out. On to food, BBQ more specifically. I knew I had reward points and it saved me $6 so not a bad deal. Then last stop before returning back home was the pet food store.

I changed clothes and headed down to work on laundry and of course I had to pay some attention to Mora and give her a belly rub as I tried to work/play on the computer. Finances are taken care of. Caught up on email. Thinking about what to eat for breakfast.

Tomorrow is just the usual run morning errands of breakfast, grocery store and gas station. Then maybe out for a meal later in the day. After that I will be “trapped” here since I will be on-call next week. Working at home has its perks but I have zero social interaction and I wouldn’t have much if I went in. Driving in today in heavy rain made me appreciate the luxury that I have. I do feel better when I make it in though. I do think if I wasn’t on-call next week that I’d be in the office. However, unless something goes seriously wrong, I won’t set foot in the office until January 2025.

On a different front I found a hot guy on YouTube. He’s hot to me but might not appeal to you. He goes by the name Chariotz (@xxchariotz). He has some hot sex stories that are censored for YouTube. Turns out he’s got an Only Fans account. Last night I went exploring and found his profile on X (F/K/A Twitter). Damn he’s packing some wood and I am seriously thinking of paying the $5 for one month just to see his content. I haven’t pulled the trigger on that just yet. It’s tempting and I know that I will want to subscribe to more than just his channel. Kind of like opening the refrigerator when you’re hungry you grab a soda and a snack, next thing you know you’ve emptied out an entire shelf because it’s just so good. As you might imagine X is more explicit than YouTube and it’s honestly why I have an account there just for the porn clips and to keep up with some of my favorite porn stars. I need a man badly not only for companionship but for sex as well, that would certainly help keep my porn habit more under control. Chariotz is my type of guy, younger than me and sexy AF. While I am sure that if given a chance, we could have some chemistry in bed I don’t know that we would be compatible otherwise. That’s kind of the downfall of being into younger guys (late 20’s to 30’s). Not to mention his sexual history, his body count sounds like it’s way higher than mine, that is scary to me. However, I think if I was given a chance to repeat my youth again and my life went in a different direction my body count would probably be higher but I’m not ashamed of having a low body count.

On a different note, I just started listening to the audio book of Matt Rife’s called “Your Mom’s Gonna Love Me”. It’s pretty good thus far I am in Chapter 6 I believe. That is just from the running I did today. Might listen to more of that if I can’t find something of interest on TV. Audio books are so cool.

Well now it’s time to climb the stairs and go do my next least favorite activity of unloading and reloading the dishwasher. Then to search for something to watch on TV or perhaps look at what is on the DVR and play catch up as well as freeing up some disk space. Poor thing has tons of content. I just finished with the Thanksgiving Parade from last year, have yet to watch this years. Also have some Independence Day celebrations that I need to watch. Something about seeing fireworks in the winter sounds appealing to me. Watching a Thanksgiving Parade in the middle of July makes me feel good. I know it’s strange I never used to be like that but here I am.

Enough yapping I’m publishing this and then heading up. Hope all is well in your world. Stay warm and take care.

Finally Friday

Welcome!  I woke up to find that my Cologuard results are back.  They show as negative.  I am so thrilled to see that and can exhale now.  I was fully prepared to wait longer but am glad that I don’t have to. 

Last night in browsing social media I saw a post that indicated another gay young porn star has passed away.  There were no details and I can’t find anything through a google search.  The guys name is Keagan Case.  He worked for Helix Studios and if the data that I saw on him is correct he was 24.  He did some good work that I enjoyed.  For closure and just to be nosy I’d like to know what happened but there are many times that someone passes where the details are never published.  That could very well be the case.  Three days had passed since this came across my social media feed.   

I know that most people probably just think of them as porn stars and watch their content and move on.  I appreciate the fact that they are humans and it takes a lot of courage to put on a show in front of the camera for the world at large to see.  Plus their work lives forever.  There is no erasing or hiding it.  That can impact their futures as well as future employment.  It’s a decision that one can’t make lightly.  Being individuals they have lives that are separate and often way different than what they portray in front of a camera, much like a regular actor/movie star. 

Helix Studios has been embroiled in a lot of turmoil and chaos over the years.  Back in the day they had some of the most attractive twinks, which are all grown now.  Blake Mitchell, Joey Mills and Travis Stevens are models that started with Helix.  Joey is still doing studios work but all of them have Only Fans accounts.  It’s interesting to see how far they have come and to have watched them grow up before my eyes. 

Switching gears back to my hum drum life, not a whole lot is new here.  I got the trash out and cooked a Tombstone Pizza last night.  The label said that it was bursting with flavor but it hardly tasted like the Tombstone that I grew up on and have come to love & enjoy.  I normally devoured the entire pizza in one sitting but I only ate half of it last night.  I’ve got the other half for lunch or supper.  It will be gone today for sure.  I was kind of caught off guard that I didn’t have as many choices of frozen items that I thought I did.  I’ll remedy that with my trip to the grocery store on Sunday. 

Had a great night with the cats.  Rudy has become super clingy he will sit on my lap and fall asleep as I watch TV.  He loves to be next to me.  He’s started bugging me at every meal like he wants food.  I think it might be more about attention.  I brushed him and his sister last night.  I have worries and concerns about both of them checking out way sooner than I want them to.  Right now I am just enjoying them for all they are worth and am thankful and appreciative that I get the pleasure of having them in my life. 

No real plans for the weekend, probably loaf around tomorrow and head out for some Mexican food and get the mail.  However, who knows what will pop in my mind between now and Saturday that could alter those plans. 

If you like Taye Diggs, Anthony Anderson, Chris Jones, Tyler Posey, Bruno Tonioli or James Van Der Beek they will all be appearing on Fox on Monday night in The Full Monty.  They will all be naked but who knows what the network will actually permit to be seen.  I’ve got my DVR set.  James and Tyler are the only two that are of interest to me. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Hope that you have an amazing day and weekend.  Stay warm and take care!

Sore on Sunday

All that work I did on the dryer vent caught up with me on Sunday.  I was really sore.  My legs and back.  The only comfortable position was either sitting or laying down.  Needless to say I made it to breakfast and the grocery store.  Those were my only stops and I stayed upstairs all day long.  Spent the day in my room with a heating pad.  I also took a nap after my usual morning TV.  The cats stuck by me all day. 

They got lunch and I ate some junk food before I put out my pills for the week.  Then it was back to my room to the heating pad.  I did a little bit of scrambling to find something to watch but kept myself entertained.  I also enjoyed not being chained to my phone.  It spent the bulk of the day in the living room which is where I placed it after I returned home from the grocery store. 

I’ve been craving donuts and made sure to grab 6 of them, mostly jelly because they are my favorites.  Something about the Raspberry jelly just hits the spot regardless if it’s warm or cold.  Also saw that the frozen grilled cheese that the other store I visit on occasion is getting rid of is now stocked at my regular store.  That was a nice find.  My freezer is quite full so I didn’t buy any but I am having one for lunch.  I was planning on eating them slowly but now that they are a regular thing I will be enjoying them more on the regular. 

I really hated coming back to work this morning.  There was plenty to catchup on but thankfully that is all done or so I think.  I’m on-call but this is traditionally a slow and calm week also a lot of people take this entire week off.  My boss just called to tell me that I will be getting a bonus on my next check.  He submitted for a large amount but only got approved for half of it.  Hey, something is better than nothing.  I was starting to think he forgot about me.  Kind of wish that I was off this week as well.  I’ve certainly got the time but being on-call is what kind of throws a wrench in the mix.  I’ll push through this. 

I got in a small amount of play time last night with the cats only because they begged.  They weren’t happy that it didn’t last terribly long but I told them I hurt and needed to get off my feet.  I put out some cat nip to help make up for it.  That seemed to cheer them up. 

My porn backup finished on Saturday it was in the verifying state.  It gave me a ridiculous estimate as to when it would be finished with the verify process, 29 days.  Yeah it only took two to backup.  Well, this morning I checked and it’s done.  Got that all tucked safely away. 

Worked until I got to a good stopping point.  Both of my machines needed to be rebooted, so I did that and then stepped away for a bathroom break.  Also said hi to both cats who were eagerly waiting for me at the top of the stairs.  I brought them back their fish toys, which I had to bend over to pickup.  Yeah that hurt but I told them they would get them back today.  I keep my word as much as possible regardless if it’s to a cat or a person. 

I’m still battling a sore left side.  The doc said that it was chest wall pain.  Whatever that means.  I just want it to go away.  I had chalked it up to Rudy walking on me and making biscuits.  Both of my sides have been slightly sore for months but this one is way worse.  The right side doesn’t hurt at all.  Planning on using my heating pad on that to see if I can get it to ease up or just go away. 

I am super horny but don’t know if I have it in me to work on that.  I just keep telling myself it’s going to feel extra special good when it finally happens.  Here’s hoping that is sooner rather than later. 

Started watching Cruel Intentions a new series on Prime.  It’s based off of the movie but in a series format.  There is both straight and gay sex in it which is part of why I am watching.  There are a lot of cute guys.  It’s about 8 hours (give or take) with there being 8 episodes in the series and they average between 45 and 50 minutes.  I am sure that I will be done with it soon given that it’s going to be a long weekend. 

Sadly, Saturday I will have to go cat food shopping again.  I won’t be looking forward to it given that all of the holiday shoppers will be out.  No word yet on when Dinner is on Thursday.  I am sure that my friends aren’t terribly eager to celebrate the holiday after losing so many cats but life as they say goes on.  As far as I know dinner is still on so I am just waiting to hear a time.  It’s supposed to turn really cold this week.  So much for a short sleeve funny thanksgiving t-shirt.  I will wear it anyway and bring a coat along.  I didn’t buy it to have it sit in my closet. 

Enough rambling from me.  Hope that all is well on your end.  It’s about time to wrap for lunch and go microwave that frozen grilled cheese.  I hope it’s a great day for you!

Vacation continues

I am in the middle of my time off and I know the rest of it will go by super fast.  I’ve checked my email at work a couple times.  That is something that I normally DO NOT do.  However, it paid off in this case.  I found that there was an issue I could fix and I went in last night and took care of it.  I surprised my boss and called him to let him know what I had done.  He was impressed.  Nothing wrong with earning brownie points, even if I am on vacation. 

Our weather has flipped back to Summer.  It’s been in the 80’s here and I had to turn on the AC much to my chagrin.  I just couldn’t live with the humidity. 

I made it to Sam’s today and actually had to make a repeat run.  I bought this large platter of holiday cookies, I think it was a 60 count.  Special flavors that I haven’t had before and I wanted to treat myself. It’s a $20 platter so quite a bit for cookies.  Damn if the whole thing didn’t spill on the garage floor when I opened my tailgate.  I was pissed.  I of course cleaned up the mess and trashed all of the cookies.  Had to get the vacuum cleaner out to get the crumbs out of the trunk.  Meanwhile once I got the replacement platter I made sure to pull the majority of the cookies out and get them into food saver bags that I sealed up.  There is no way in hell that I will consume 60 large cookies before they expire. 

Had lunch with a friend, it was an okay time and was glad to be able to catch up on things.  I called my other friend who lost her cat and she is doing much better.  That cemented my decision to not make a trip to her vet to donate money.  I am confident that I made the right decision and glad that I had the patience to let this play out.  That’s so not like me but I am learning more and more time can be your friend. 

Got my haircut yesterday and there was a hot guy getting his haircut.  I was hoping to see his body once they removed the cape but damn if he wasn’t still in the chair when I left.  I got a haircut and shampoo from a place that I only visit on occasion and only because they give a great shampoo.  Their prices are out of control but I managed to score as I went on a day when haircuts were discounted so that helped a little bit. 

Did my Sunday vacuuming routine tonight and cleaned underneath the fridge.  It wasn’t as dirty as I thought it would be.  I cleared off a lot of room on the top to provide better air flow as well as getting rid of junk that was just sitting.  I also pulled the unit out and cleaned the floor.  The cats were a little confused but interested that is until the vacuum came out. 

Tried a new diner that is in town for a burger.  I hit them up after I was at the Dentist on Monday.  Nothing special and I might go back but it’s not on my immediate must go back soon list. 

Got a gift card that I plan to use Friday for lunch at my favorite Italian place.  Not sure if I will use it all up but I am craving Spaghetti & Meatballs.  I expect to have some left over or at the very least get more to go as well as maybe some desert to bring home. 

Tomorrow I am thinking of hitting up a place that I went to last time I was off.  Instead of getting breakfast I want their lunch buffet, which looks good.  Hopefully, I can keep my stomach at bay. 

My sleep scheduled it all kinds of crazy.  I’ve decided that Rudy & Mora should be renamed Biscuits & Gravy.  Rudy makes biscuits to wake me up and he will sleep on top of me as well just laying in wait for me to wake up so he can get those paws going.  Mora is Gravy because she loves to roll over and let me rub her belly, she jumps on the bed after breakfast and just lays there.  She will follow me downstairs and jump in my lap rolling over and getting that belly rubbed.  She just lays there like gravy and soaks it all up.  I’m not changing their names but I’ve been calling Rudy Mr. Biscuits all day.   

It’s Trick or Treating time and my lights are off.  The little ghouls & goblins are out and the subdivision is lined with cars and plenty of people out walking around.  It’s warm so it’s a great time unlike most Halloweens when it’s brisk or down right cold here.  We do have some rain moving in but that will be later tonight and early tomorrow. 

I’m finishing up laundry that I started a day or so ago and going to surf away for a bit.

I got the cowboy boots that I have always wanted.  Damn I didn’t know how difficult they were to get on and off.  One is just as bad as the other.  Today I learned all about a boot puller to help get them off.  I added that to my Amazon cart and it will be here on Friday.  I’m kind of on the fence about keeping them but they are paid for. 

Off to surf away for a while and then I will climb the steps and browse TV.  Got a few things on the DVR and who knows what I can find on YouTube. Plan to enjoy the rest of my time off because I will be on-call when I go back and my inbox is already a small disaster I am sure it’s gonna grow given that I’ve still got a couple days. 

Well Ms. Gravy just showed up and doesn’t want me to post this.  I need to tend to rubbing her belly. I am still fighting off some allergy or illness.  My nose goes crazy for a bit when I wake up and then after a couple hours all is fine.  Hope your all doing well, just wanted you to know I am still among the living.

One Day Left

Today I was woken up by Rudy around 5a and managed to go back to sleep.  I had a dream that I was in the Marines at boot camp.  I was having problems remembering a combination for my lock and a Drill Sargent was yelling at me.  Next I found myself walking into an exclusive museum reserved for Military members.  The next thing I know I woke up.  Rudy was on top of me sleeping away and I managed to go back to sleep again. 

It was tough getting out of bed but I managed and part of it was due to a persistent cat that wouldn’t let me rest once he knew the sun was up and that I am normally up.  He was hungry. 

I managed to roll out of here around 7:30a and head for breakfast.  Had a Carmel Apple Pancake with some eggs and sausage.  It was delicious.  Next stop was the car wash.  No hot guys working today. 

Then I stopped at grocery store #1 that I have been meaning to get to for the longest time.  I couldn’t find a couple items that I wanted and I had just talked myself into going home when I was done.  That went out the window and I went on to grocery store #2 to get the items I wanted, then finally back home to unload. 

I said I wouldn’t take a nap today but I was tired after all of that walking and getting everything put away.  I changed some camera batteries as well.  Then got out of my clothes and watched TV with the cats in my room. 

Of course I wound up taking a nap and damn it felt so good!  Woke up and got working on the cats lunch and eating a snack myself.  It was junk food but it was so good. 

Put my medicine out and loaded up the dish washer.  Then it was time to clean the house and get the trash out.  Next up was filling my car tires with air.  Not sure why but they were all at different pressures and that’s not how I keep them.  Now everything is even so it should ride a bit better and more like I am used to. 

Next up was time to finish laundry and get on the computer.  Email, Finances and of course porn.  No computer time is a good time for me without porn.  I’ve been looking at photos and I am all horned up now. 

Had my left over lasagna for supper, it tasted better reheated.  Got supper for the cats and their treats put out.  They each got brushed and their nails trimmed.  Damn they were long.  I know they like their nails long and sharp but it doesn’t feel good to get gored or have biscuits made with claws on exposed skin. 

Need to head back up and get the laundry put away.  There are a few more things on my list to get done and I know that with the time I have tomorrow I should be able to knock them out. 

Tomorrow I’ll be another year older and another year single.  Hoping for some good food at my friends house but I don’t know that will come to pass.  I want to balance my time their and have some left over for myself and the cats so that I can prepare for back to the old bump and grind which will come Tuesday.  Yuk!  I’ve not peeked at work email but I am so tempted.  I know that if I do I will start reading, responding and trying to put things together and that’s working something that I don’t need to do when I am off.  It’s all going to be there come Tuesday. 

With that in mind I anticipate that I might not be able to post anything for a couple days while I play catch up.  I’m scheduling an eye candy post for Wednesday so you will all have something to look forward to.  I think I will probably post tomorrow but you never know for sure.  Just in case I hope that all is well and that your staying cool. 

Every vacation or time off there is always something that I wanted to do but never got around to.  In this case it was getting a Library Card.  Sounds kind of silly but it’s my tax dollars that fund it and I can get online access to some local newspapers for free.  Otherwise I pretty well accomplished everything but the trip to the buffet for the Taco Bar.  I think I did pretty good and it was sure enjoyable to get away.  I’m looking forward to scheduling more time, got to make sure I use the bulk of it otherwise I loose it and I can’t let that happen. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Take care!

THE WEEKEND

Saturday…. I woke up early thanks to Rudy my biscuit maker. Both cats happy as always to see me and start yet another day. I passed out breakfast for them. Then took a shower. Afterwards while I was getting dressed Rudy camped out in the bathtub to get some fresh water. He loves the privacy of the shower curtain, like he’s on some secret mission and I can’t know about it. If I try to peek, he stops and gives me the death stare or it will spook him and he will just abort his mission. Mora goes in as well but not nearly as often as Rudy. I walked in to get some deodorant and he saw me through the curtain, I suppose he thought that I was going to mess with him and he kept his eye on me. I just got what I needed and got out.

Off to breakfast and I had my Greek Pizza like thing and it was delicious but quite messy. The one I had last weekend was made a little neater and was easy to pickup and eat. This one was more a mission for a fork. I still got it in my gullet and enjoyed every last bite.

Then off to see my friends and make someone’s day with a special gift. It worked and I got my satisfaction from seeing his face and the smile. I hung out for a bit and chatted. Then someone said something that rubbed me the wrong way and I decided that it was time to leave. No one knows I was upset I didn’t argue raise my voice and my face didn’t turn bright red. I’m kind of amazed at that. People don’t realize that they can hurt you even with just words. It wasn’t intentional but they could have said what they said differently to sweeten it up a bit so that it didn’t come off so abrasive.

I came back home and took a brief nap. Then it was back outdoors. I took care of changing the battery on the garage camera. Then mixed up some insect spray and sprayed the perimeter of the house. I am not a fan of that job but it costs a lot less to do it on my own. It was nice out but the sun was beating down on me. I found some hail damage in my siding, not something I wanted to see but it’s fixable. Manage to stumble upon some baby wasps and find a gap in an exterior outlet, which is also fixable. Rinsed out the sprayer and set it to dry in the garage.

Back inside and to the basement with the cats. Got myself all horned up surfing the web for porn. Scott Finn one of my all-time favorite performers had a new scene out. I love all of his work and had to have this to add to my collection. Kept thinking about what to do for supper. Since I was all horned up, I opted for (as you probably guessed) pizza so that I could look at cute guys. Lucky for me my computer work was wrapping up just as both cats got to nagging me that it was time to go back upstairs. They were hungry and it just worked out well for both of us.

Once I made sure they were up, I passed out some food for them and threw on my shoes. Told them that I would be back and went off for pizza and guy watching. I tried to talk myself into going some place else but couldn’t’ really think of anything else that I wanted. This was one of those times that I should have listened to that feeling and skipped this place. Of course, a sunny Saturday and it was later in the afternoon. The place was packed. I had two guys to watch and they both had on shorts and nice butts that were perky. I changed things up and ordered a Cesar Salad. I’ve been craving one of those for days. I didn’t know that it was possible to fuck up a Cesar Salad but this place did. It had some oil dressing on it and tasted nothing like a Cesar Salad should have. Each one of the guys that was running food brought me my dishes. The second one looked a little like the guy that I have had my eye on for a while. However, he wasn’t quite as friendly to me. Like he knew I was gay and wanted him. All I said was thank you when he set my pizza down and I got a slight attitude but he was still professional. Service sucked, no one came to refill my drink. I waited forever to get the check. Then the guy forgot the box but rushed to take my money. I got my fix of guy watching and wished that I could touch and feel some flesh.

Made my way back home. Stopped off for cat food, also managed to somehow forget that as well. Stayed upstairs with the cats and they settled down. I began playing on my phone. Wound up buying a one-month subscription to a dating app. I’ve got no matches. I’m growing tired of being alone. It’s not so much about sex but that is part of the equation. I want to go somewhere and do something, just spice up my life. Not looking for drama or problems, I’m sure that will follow as it always seems to be apart of life. However, it would be nice to not have so much alone time. I like my alone time and need some of it but not nearly as much as I have. That feeling is what lulled me into just take the plunge and subscribe. I spent more than I wanted to for the 1-month subscription but my goal is one month and I’m done with the app. I might move to a different app but not sure about parting with more money but that is not totally out of the question.

After that fun was over with, I was thinking about an old co-worker who was straight but I had feelings for. I had a plan to make a pass at him but another colleague foiled my plan. I started writing the story and time got away from me. I can really get lost in writing or when I concentrate on something that I enjoy regardless of what it is. The cats were stirring again and it was time for bed. They got their cat nip and I brushed my teeth. Managed to put off doing the dishes and forgot that was pending so it was a last-minute scramble to load the dishwasher and get that going.

Then on to the moment I had been waiting for. Watching Scott Finn’s new scene. It was amazing and hot enough that I was able to let off some pressure. I hope that he keeps on working for a while. After that fun I found something on Amazon Prime to occupy me until my sleeping drugs kicked in and I called it a night. Had to move a cat to climb in bed. They both love to stretch out and hog as much as they can. I wish my room was bigger so that I could get a larger bed and still be able to maintain my recliner. Right now, it’s either larger bed and no recliner or keep things as they are. Some how with a larger bed I still think I’d have space problems because the cats would still be with me.

Sunday…. The biscuit maker woke me up way early. I just laid and enjoyed cuddling with him and trying to wake up. Finally, I let them both know I was awake and got my morning greeting from both of them. Off to get them breakfast. Being Mother’s Day I was early but the place I went too was still busy. Service absolutely sucked. I got my order in and got my drink right away. However, it took forever for food to come out. No one refilled my drink, someone offered but forgot me. The food was okay, nothing to rave about. It was a simple meal that I had been craving for a little bit. I paid my bill and made my way to the grocery store.

Luck was on my side they had three Chicken Cesar Wraps. I was tempted to buy all of them but only picked up two of them. That’s dinner tonight for sure and I am so looking forward to it. Hopefully it will be just as tasty as the first one I had a couple weeks back at the office. There is no way I would even try to get in the door at any place given that it’s Mother’s Day, it’s a busy day for all of the restaurants and I just as soon skip the chaos. I did have the thought of trying for Mexican but finding the Chicken Cesar Wraps took that desire away.

Filled the gas tank and then came home to unload and put away the groceries. Mora met me at the door, she just loves to greet me. Normally they are both there but I can always count on her. Rudy was loafing and sleeping in bed. I guess he was just too comfy and didn’t want to move. I get it. Came back to my room and talked with him for a bit while I got out of my clothes. Mora joined us and I sat down and watched some normal YouTube Sunday videos and managed to get sleepy as per usual. Wound up crawling back in bed slept right next to Rudy he didn’t move and was so warm. I was out for 30 minutes to an hour.

Once awake I made my way to the kitchen. Passed out lunch for the cats which was nibbled on and quickly shoved aside. I had a couple pieces of left over pizza. Then on to the fun task of putting my medicine out. Then on to the thrill of the day, cleaning the cats water fountain. I’m just not a chore kind of guy but I get that things have to be done. That was done and plugged back in. Fresh water flowing and Mora watched me like a hawk. She’s possessive of her fountain but she shares it with her brother. I told them the story about how the water fountain came to be, which they have probably heard three or four times. That’s the best part about talking to an animal, you can say whatever you want and they don’t talk back to you or judge you.

On to cleaning the house a bit. Then off to the basement to update finances, surf for more porn and up date ye old blog. Today is also the day that I will finally swap my long sleeves for short sleeves. I don’t look forward to that task either but I do have way more short sleeve shirts than long sleeve ones. I’m all about short sleeves. I’ve also got a project to clean off my dresser and do some other cleaning. My dresser probably will happen but as for the rest of it, ah there is always a tomorrow.

Best thing about this week is that it’s only three days. I thought about reconsidering my plans and actually going into the office but since it’s only three days I figured no one is going to miss me. I plan to work in a haircut along with my doctor’s visit on Thursday. Friday, I found a new place that I plan on checking out. They serve fish but only on Friday’s and it just sounds so good. I want to take care of the rest of the gutter project and possibly power wash the deck but Friday has rain in the forecast. I might get the gutter project finished on Saturday morning if I get up early enough and feel like it. In my mind it’s a super simple thing just put a screen in place. It’s a matter of cutting it to size and moving the ladder as well as some patio furniture/objects a few dozen times. It will also be a nice treat for the cats to watch me, hopefully if I get it done, it won’t involve any injuries or disasters.

As for the rest of today I’ve got a bit of time on my hands. Here’s hoping that it will be the best week yet for all of us.

Take care and thanks for stopping by!
