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!

Amazed @ myself

Morning world!

We are at the half way point in the week.  I do believe unless something changes that this will be my last non-busy day of the week.  My afternoons have picked up a bit but the last few mornings have been calm and quiet, something I could easily get used to. 

Speaking of work, not sure why but lately when I join a Zoom meeting from my laptop it picks up my microphone and camera.  That never used to happen.  I don’t mind the microphone for audio but kind of prefer the phone.  As for the camera I’m no fan of it at all.  I keep it turned off even when everyone in the meeting has theirs turned on.  You can easily tell who’s in the office and who’s working from home, even if there background is blurred. 

I had two back to back meetings yesterday before my day ended.  The last one I was the hero in making something work on the fly.  I am quite amazed at myself and how quickly my brain worked to figure things out.  It made a huge impression.  I’m still amazed by it all.  I always tell the cats that daddy knows how to do his job and that’s no lie.  I also celebrated 11 years at this same work place this past Sunday.  The day wasn’t marked on my calendar as it normally has been.  I could tell by my photo memories that I was close.  I looked it up yesterday and found the exact date.  The longest I have ever worked at one place.  Here’s hoping for many more years, more money and less BS at the same place.  Hey 2 out of 3 isn’t bad but all 3 would be even better!

I watched that scene from Corbin Fisher I spoke of a few days ago last night.  Also managed to squeeze in part of a new Himeros scene between Grant Ducati and Christiano.  It felt good after several days to finally experience release!

This should also be our last super hot and humid day as a cold front is moving in and tomorrow temperatures through the weekend should be cooler. 

Supper last night was half of a Store made Beef Burrito.  It was pretty good and I polished off the quart of ice cream I had been working on.  I am having the other half of the Burrito tonight.  Desert will probably be ice cream but I might switch that up. 

As for the agenda today there are 2 meetings on my schedule.  I might miss one of them but the other one I have to attend.  There is so much going on at work and I honestly don’t look forward to my turn next week at being back on-call.  However, I am sure enjoying my time this week.  Able to spend time with the cats, get in a nap and just goof off a bit.  No play and all work is dull & boring. 

Hope that your having a great day and all is well.  Stay hydrated!

Connectivity

Hello World!

Yesterday was a little bit of a technology snafu.  My home internet went out around lunch time and didn’t come back up until this morning.  Working from home this obviously presents a challenge.  I need to be able to get on-line at all times.  My phone saved the day as it has many times before.  Visible Plus to the rescue.  I have unlimited data nd unlimited hotspot data.  Your only supposed to connect 1 device but I was able to get away with 2.  1 of which was a computer and the other was my Roku.  When work was done for the day I was down to just my Roku.  I’m not sure what went wrong with my home internet but they have been having issues where we have spot outages for a few hours and then were back up.  Of course my special price just expired so I am paying more now and they don’t give credit for outages.  If you want it you have to call.  I’m getting close to loosing my cool with them and about ready to call to see if I can get the price lower.  There is another fiber company coming to town but they are dragging their feet.  If they were here today I’d make the switch kind of tired of the local cable company.  It wasn’t just internet that was down it was phone and TV as well but I only have them for internet so the rest of my stuff worked.  That’s why you can’t put all of your eggs in one basket, you have to diversify or have backup providers for redundancy.  That can get expensive but Visible has been rock solid for me in every possible way.  I can’t sing their praises loud enough. 

Funny what started out as cell phone service for dating has turned in to my primary service for cell data and has doubled as a work phone.  I’ve become so reliant on it I can’t imagine living without it.  If they just offered to associate your name with your number I’d move my regular cell service over, drop the extra coverage and be able to save a bunch of money.  However, it’s a pre-paid service so caller id only displays as Wireless Caller, which for dating if your making calls is a good thing to help mask your identity. 

I had to fight a little bit to get my desktop and laptop to connect to my phone as a hotspot but got it working and was able to continue with my day.  I only had a meeting that got pushed back to the afternoon and I was able to join it from the comfort of my couch.  Nothing else came about and I was thankful for that. 

This morning is starting off the same as yesterday in that I have nothing to do for several hours and then it’s meeting, meeting, lunch, meeting, meeting.  Unless something else comes in to break up this cycle that’s how my day is looking to shape up. 

Woke up with my back feeling funny the more I started to wake up that funny feeling developed into an itch.  I scratched and it felt a little odd.  I looked in the mirror and I’ve got claw marks on my back.  What in the world happened last night?  Which cat got me?  No one’s talking here cat’s got their tongues.  It’s nothing major and it will heal but damn it’s gonna itch a lot and I hate that. 

Speaking of itches my neck is bothering me a little bit but the peeling has stopped.  I just resist scratching as best as I can.  I’ve got some strong will power if I want to use it but an itch is one of those things that you think will feel better if you scratch it and sometimes that is the case but with this that is NOT the case it only makes things worse. 

Had left over pizza for supper last night.  Broke into my newly found ice cream stash of Haggen Daz.  One more thing I found when I went to work on the freezer.  I’ve got a few pints to go through and it’s so good!

Wanted to really watch porn last night but that internet outage with my home network impacted my ability to stream from my desktop to my TV.  I’ve got an old scene from Corbin Fisher that I am itching to watch.  Not sure if I will make it to tonight but I am gonna try my best. 

Right now it’s time to get away from the computer and go relax, hoping that I am left alone so I can enjoy my down time before meeting season kicks in this afternoon. 

Hope all is well in your world and that your staying cool & hydrated!  Take care.

Caught up

After two days of working steady like my life depended on it, I am finally caught up or so I think.  I am relaxing and trying to take it easy at the moment. 

My massage therapist reached out yesterday afternoon and offered me a 90 minute opening yesterday but I was just too busy to break away.  I’ve got a knot in my left shoulder blade that is really bothering me.  I really wanted to go see her but alas I have an appointment on Friday.  Last night was calm but being on-call you never know exactly when or if something will get kicked up.  I just stay available as much as I can especially during the week.  The weekends are different I throw caution to the wind probably a little more than I should but rarely does something come up on a weekend.  That said I had the opportunity to do something I’ve wanted to do for a while this weekend and while I wanted to give in I thought of Murphy’s Law and opted to decline and push it to another weekend. 

I worked out my most of my PC issues.  Although I still have some issues with visiting blogs that have the adult flag on.  Google Chrome tells me that I have a cookie issue.  I just wind up trying a couple different browsers until I am eventually successful.  I will tackle that problem when I have a bit more time on my hands.

I was able to have a decent evening.  I watched a little TV, had supper and lounged on the couch with the cats until they opted to take their evening naps.  Mora really lets loose when she knows I am close by and she starts snoring.  I think they both feel like I am on guard so they can get some sound sleep for a bit, since they will be guarding me all night long.  Although I am not fully convinced they don’t seriously drift off once I am sound asleep. 

At any rate it gave me the ability to really pour some time into continuing on with a fantasy story I am writing.  I was enjoying myself and before I knew it an hour had passed by.  It’s nice to be able to take an escape from reality even if it’s only for an hour. 

Had a nice hot shower, took some extra sleeping medicine, brushed & flossed then had some play time with the cats.  Once they were no longer interested in playing I went to play with myself.  By then the sleeping medicine was kicking in and I was seriously drowsy.  I felt my self drifting off and wanted to get up to get in bed but didn’t make it in time.  I woke up a short time later and then took the opportunity to climb in bed and turned the TV off.  It was lights out and I was in dreamland.  Slept pretty good. 

It’s a humid rainy day here and that’s the story for the weather for the next few days.  I went up to use the bathroom and both cats were relaxing.  It’s a perfect day for a nap or to call in sick, which I gave serious thought to.  I really want more time away it like everything else in life I get a good taste and I can’t seem to get enough. 

Thankfully the weekend is closer than it was on Monday.  I’ve got my massage Friday night and then on Saturday I am getting my hair cut again.  I wear it short in the summer and I just had it cut in the last two weeks and I am going to go even shorter to buy some additional time between cuts.  The only problem with that is that it itches when it grows back. 

Hoping that the rest of the day is relaxing.  Got my usual Wednesday meeting with my team which is nothing but babble, it’s a way to let the boss know what your working on but truth be told we could easily skip these nonsense meetings.  He (the boss) likes to hear his own voice and tends to talk most of the meeting and then hurry everyone else along.  Once that is done I will be happier. 

Man candy will post in a couple hours so check back if that is of interest.  Back to the daily grind isn’t so much fun but it does pay the bills.  I hope all is well in your world and that life is smiling on you.  Take care. 

Another hot guy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Spending Money

Staycation or Vacation either way I manage to spend money, more of it than I originally planned.  However, something about just throwing caution to the wind is refreshing.  I’m not spending money I don’t have, that would be a whole different story. 

I am working with a point of contact at AT&T.  There was great progress made today.  I am hopeful that come tomorrow being the end of my vacation will also be the end of having to deal with AT&T and issues.  I can just fade into the background and go on with my life, wow that sounds refreshing.  I’m still a little mad at myself for acting in anger that’s what triggered all of this.  However, if it wasn’t for the issues I wouldn’t have such a large credit on my account.  I plan to ask for more once all of the issues are behind me and resolved.  The worst they can say is no.

It was time to get dressed and head out for lunch.  I did that and Mora went to the bathroom and stayed there.  I don’t like it when a cat does that I have had two cats do that and they both died within a short time.  I was worried but brushed it off.  Sure enough when I got home she left me a present to clean up.  She’s back to her normal self.  Phew that’s the last thing I need right now. 

Had lunch with my friend and saw the flowers that I sent him.  They were sure pretty and I know he enjoyed them despite the razzing he got.  While I was there I asked about getting some new wipers.  The ones I have had came with the vehicle and it was time to part ways with them after 8 years.  I wanted to put OEM wipers on but that’s wasn’t a same day option so I went with some aftermarket wipers. 3 wipers (2 for the front and 1 for the back) cost me $80.  I sure hope that they do a good job and last for a hell of a long time.  It was sprinkling on the way back home and I got to try them out and they seem to work pretty good. 

Been home ever since I got back from lunch.  Had a nap late in the afternoon.  Got up and had a light supper and fed the cats.  I was supposed to be cleaning today but I lacked the motivation for that.  I used my old saying, I’ll do it tomorrow.  I’ve said that for a couple days.  Tomorrow is trash day so that will help to motivate me a bit. 

I got on Amazon and ordered a new cell phone case and a couple of other items that I probably shouldn’t have spent my money on.  I really wanted to go to Best Buy instead but I think if I walk in there I might spend more money so Amazon might be cheaper and a better option in the long run. 

Peeked in on my work email it’s piling up but it’s all going to be there waiting for me.  I just don’t like surprises so I peek to get an idea of what I will be going back to.  I can already tell you that next week is going to be pure hell but at least I won’t be bored.  I am not looking forward to it. 

I’ve got one work day of this vacation left.  Outside of cleaning I plan to enjoy a nice dinner out.  I kind of want to go for a drive and hit up the place with the lunch buffet.  Chinese Food sounds good also.  Then there is the super expensive place in the country that I know I will enjoy the food for sure but I won’t like the bill.  Between tomorrow and Saturday I can hit up two of the three places but making a decision is always difficult because I am paralyzed by choice.  I wanted to grab some Italian food at an upscale place that I like as well but that kind of fell by the way side.  I’ve always wanted to eat at The Cheesecake Factory but it would take me forever to make up my mind since they have such a large menu.  I’ll make it there someday, it’s on my bucket list. 

I’ve been on OF (Only Fans) tonight, subscribed to another person and still have a few more that I’d like to see.  That too gets expensive but I get such a rush from seeing new content.  Kind of like seeing a hot guy in public.  Saw a bunch of them today so I am quite horny. 

The best day by far of this whole staycation was yesterday.  I enjoyed the movie, the thrill of asking a hot guy out and getting some good food as well as the drive.  Shame I couldn’t have pressed a pause button because I felt so good but that feeling was fleeting.  Perhaps I will experience some additional joy come tomorrow when I go to fetch my meal. 

Hope you had a great day and thanks for stopping by.  Take care!

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. 

Bad Luck Sunday

Hi everyone and welcome in. 

Today was one of those days for me.  I woke up to feed the cats at their normal time and I just wanted to go back to bed.  Hey, I’m on vacation so I’ve got the option so I took it.  Damn that felt so good! When I woke up around 10a I knew I had a box of Eggo Blueberry Thick & Fluffy Waffles.  I polished the whole box off and had a very large glass of milk.  I put Blueberry Syrup on the waffles and knew that when the sugar high wore off I would be drowsy again. 

Back in my room I powered on my phone and got caught up on what little bit there was in my personal email and notifications.  Work email is still turned off.  Since it was later in the day I plan to do my normal Sunday tasks on Monday. 

Curses but I have 2 outstanding issues @ AT&T so I attempted to remedy them.  I got on the phone merry go round with their customer service.  My fuse is very short with them and I let some supervisor have it.  I started cussing and he got very firm with me and told me I had to keep the call professional.  I told him my problem, professionally.  His response was I don’t know how to fix it.  That’s when I told him to FUCK OFF and hung up on his ass.  Damn that felt so good but I hated that I got to that point.  I was all set to port away from AT&T but considering that my issues all stemmed from me acting out of anger, I thought better take a step back.  I did and inquired about the large credit balance on my account and what would happen to it.  I was told that they would deduct my current months bill from it and then it would just vaporize.  Well glad I asked.  Now I know that I am stuck riding out a few more months with AT&T to use their money and then I will likely part ways with them.  No one was able to resolve my issues after multiple calls, talking with multiple departments and spending hours on this.  I eventually gave up and resorted to letter writing.  I will get a call on Tuesday since Monday is a holiday and hopefully that will bring about an end to this mess.  I just want to do something else with my time other than work with AT&T.  I am starting to think that AT&T stands for All Talk and Turmoil. 

I wound up watching some porn and after I got off, I switched to normal TV and eventually wound up going back to bed.  I woke up around 3p.  I wanted Nachos and headed to a sports bar but damn if they weren’t closed when I got there.  I wound up going to Denny’s because they have nachos but service was so slow that I never did get waited on and wound up walking out.  I wound up at IHOP and had Fish, Shrimp and Fries for supper.  It wasn’t bad but service at IHOP wasn’t a whole lot better.  I got waited on right away and got a drink but my food took forever to get to me.

Finally I was able to return home and I was never so glad to see Mora greet me at the door.  I got food for her and her brother passed out.  Then started working on getting my medicine set out for the week ahead.  I felt pretty lousy from a mood stand point.  It was a little depression mixed with disgust.  I emptied out the cat’s litter boxes and took care of cleaning their drinking water fountain and putting a new filter in it. 

I’ve got my complaint letter off to AT&T and submitted electronically.  Backed up my iPhone and loaded on my music from my iTunes library.  Laundry is in the dryer and I am just waiting for it to go off. 

I don’t really want to go upstairs and I know I am not nearly ready for bed but it’s actually bedtime now 9p.  Mora has already come to get me and I told her that I am working on a few things.  She is sleeping in a chair outside my office and when she wakes up I know she will come nag me again.  She’s got my best interest at heart and I love her so much. 

My friends haven’t reached out about any dinner/get together plans for the holiday like they normally would.  Not sure if they aren’t doing anything this year or if they are pissed at me because I called them out for my Easter invite that I got that didn’t include a time.  I’m super lonely and being around other people would be very helpful but I am not calling and nosing my way into something.  If they are having a get together and want to invite me that’s fine.  I learned a long time ago don’t invite yourself or beg for an invite.  If people want to invite you they will and if they don’t they won’t.  Pretty simple stuff.  Besides that I don’t want to be somewhere that I am really not wanted.  That’s not helpful for anyone. 

I’ve got a small list of things to do that I may work on next after I publish this.  I also know there is an item lingering at work that I really need to knock out to help myself but I am kind of resistant to doing so.  It seems I always wind up working when I am on vacation, that gets old and no one else does it. 

I hope that you had a good day and I really appreciate you dropping by.  Looks like I am off to get into mischief.  I just hope that I am able to force myself to get moving come early morning or nothing will get done tomorrow either.  Take care!

Scrambled Eggs for brains

Happy Friday!  I got all of the project at work done, I made the call late yesterday afternoon to tell my boss.  Thank God that I did have the foresight because the mistake maker wasn’t planning on coming in until next week on Wednesday, which would have been far too late.  I told him to call him back and tell him we don’t need him.  I let loose and vented my frustration but kept in mind that the dummy is still on leave and technically he shouldn’t be working despite him wanting to be apart of this project to “help me out”.  I am glad that I did it all myself because then if there are mistakes I can own them.  There have been a couple but nothing major and they’ve been fixed quickly.  My brain feels like scrambled eggs after all of the work.  It’s really tough to concentrate this morning on any one thing but I have made progress catching up on some things that I let fall by the wayside while I worked on this project. 

Last night I ordered a mount/charger for the car and it arrived this morning.  The magnet in the iPhone SE 3 and the iPhone 16 are vastly different and thus the reason for the change.  I got the same performance I expected with a serious grip from the new mount/charger.  Unfortunately, testing it out I did something stupid and managed to break it and also dropped my iPhone 16.  I was not happy.  However, the phone was in a protective case rated for a 6 foot drop and it only fell about 3 feet.  I was mad that the mount broke and I tried to save it and get it back together but cheap plastic proved that wasn’t happening.  I just boxed it up, got a shipping label from Amazon and it’s ready to go back tomorrow.  Meanwhile I have ordered a replacement and it will be here tomorrow.  Fingers crossed. 

Unless something goes horribly wrong today I plan on making the move later this evening into the new phone.  I am still apprehensive but also curious to try it out.  Just have to make it past the password prompts and get my service activated and then I should be set.  Then it’s time to customize things and adjust settings.  Probably an all night event.  I almost did it last night because I had a nice sense of peace and calm but opted to wait and listen to that little voice that said one more day won’t kill you. 

Watched part of a hot scene last night with Aiden Ward, Bryce Jax and James Cassidy.  It was just what I needed!  I plan to try to finish it up tonight.  There is another scene that was just released yesterday on Colby Knox called Beach Vibe with Colby and a new guy Dave Mitchell.  I got that as well and look forward to watching.  It’s times like this when I see good hot porn that I wish I long for the real thing.  Yeah I know someday but I still have my doubts that day will ever roll around.

That’s about it just watched some old Alice on YouTube and played on my phone while the cats napped.  Of course I had to have a cuddle session with Mora before treat time but once they both have treats they pass out cold.  Rudy came over when he woke up and made some biscuits and gave me a kiss.  We cuddled for a bit.  Then he wanted to play and I gave in.  He was really in the mood and he played more than he has in a while.  Nothing like seeing a happy cat to bring me joy.  I need more joy in my life. 

Just have to make it through the afternoon and then the work day is done.  Next week I am back on-call so more hell awaits.  However, two days of rest sounds really nice.  Here’s hoping I can get some good food.  I know that it’s Mother’s Day and places around here tend to fill up all weekend long because of that.  I won’t go hungry but might have a wait on my hands before I get to eat. 

Here’s hoping it’s a great weekend for all of us.  Take care and thanks for stopping by. 

Porn on the brain

Morning … Another day closer to the weekend!  It’s another rainy day here.  The grass crew usually shows up today.  I do hope they skip me today and cut when things dry out a bit.  They have cut when the grass has been wet before and it just doesn’t do the lawn justice, no matter how sharp their blades are. 

Speaking of blades my shoulder blades have knots in them and I am looking forward to a massage on Friday.  It’s 90 minutes and if she works those two spots I will probably melt like butter and just want to be lazy all day on Saturday.  I long for the knots leaving my body.  It would be nice for me if they never came back. 

Had some strange dreams last night but one of them was a restaurant that I went with someone, I think it was my grandma but I can’t be sure of that now.  Anyway it was three rooms of nothing but food and people.  I left stuffed and looked forward to a return visit in the future.  Then I was going through some stuff and found checks made out to me that hadn’t been cashed, they were at least a year old.  That would never happen in reality.  I deposit the few checks I get per year right away. I woke up and there was some strange lighting on the hallway, it took me a minute to realize where I was.  I was about to freak out when I realized I was at home. 

Today is going to be a little bit of a busy day.  I got a jump on things and all was going well.  I was setting up a new person and he almost got the name of a porn star instead of his real name.  That would have been embarrassing for me but luckily I caught my mistake just after I made it.  This isn’t the first time that I have tried to set someone up as a porn star.  Porn wasn’t even on my mind it was just a subconscious Freudian Slip.  Perhaps that’s more of a sign that I need some action. Celibate life isn’t that grand and it’s a wonder that I haven’t lost my mind yet.  Need some Vitamin D in the worst way!

Browsed a dating site that let you peek at available people in your area without signing up.  Something I stumbled on in a web search.  Looking at the profiles made me realize why I hate on line dating.  There were some okay guys but they were all looking for someone their own age and not an old man like me.  One guy was just looking for sex he was creative with his user name that it was implied that is what he was looking for.  I just want a honest – good looking – younger guy.  He needs to be a great companion and we need to get to know each other.  Then we can jump in bed.  Sounds quite simple but I still think I will die single and alone.  As long as I go out on a full stomach from a great meal that would be nice. 

All of this dreary weather and rain makes me want to go climb back in bed and sleep.  The cats would really enjoy that.  We had a nice napping session yesterday.  Mora curled up under my arm and snuggled in, she was purring and snoring away in no time.  Glad that I can bring that level of comfort and calm to an animal.  She did the same for me I wasn’t purring but I was out pretty quick.  Rudy was curled up between my legs.  I was anchored down by cats but I was comfortable.  That is until the phone went off and woke me up.  That’s the way it always goes. 

Had left over pizza for supper last night.  I have two pieces left and plan on eating them at lunch time.  Probably BBQ for super but I do have some pasta that I picked up so I could eat that instead.  It sounds better at the moment. 

Well guess I should get back to work at least for a little while.  Hope you have an awesome day!   

The Q word

Morning … We made it to Thursday, one more day to go.  I don’t want to say the Q word (quiet) but yesterday things did radically go from 100mph to 0mph.  Damn that felt so good and refreshing.  I am hopeful for a low speed if not 0mph day today.  Yes, it will make the day linger but I can bask and enjoy the downtime which I think is much deserved. 

Our meeting yesterday went really quick.  The boss knows how busy it is and just cut straight to getting to business there were no long formalities and no endless diatribes about the weather or anything else for that matter.  That’s just how I like meetings, get to the point so I can get on with my day. 

I’ve taken my WIN11 machine for a couple more spins.  It appeared that my display issue was fixed but then it came back to life.  I think it’s a graphics driver issue and since it’s a virtual machine it’s not something I can update, it’s something the system administrator has to do as it affects all machines in the virtual pool.  Sooner or later they might get to that.  For now I am keeping my head down.  I’ve voiced my complaint so I am just waiting and watching.  Hoping that the issue is resolved so that I don’t have to make a big deal out of it, but I know how to do that but it’s a big move and something that I didn’t want to lead with. 

Since my day slowed down it afforded me some extra time to spend upstairs with the cats.  Spring time means that mowers are going and my grass mowing team showed up yesterday.  The neighborhood in general sees a lot of these folks and everyone uses someone different.  One thing that comes with mowers is guys (typically) and sometimes they are hot.  None of my team is that way.  However, I saw a new guy on the team that was mowing the yard across the street.  He had a bright orange bandanna on, a little short maybe 5’6 to 5’7.  He was slender and had on a nice pair of blue jeans that showed off his pretty rear end.  He turned me on in all the right ways and I wanted him so bad.  Sadly grass mowing is all about time, the faster you move the more money you can make.  Teams are only at a home for around 10 to 15 minutes and then they move to the next job.  I remember back in the day I had a hottie who did all three tasks of mowing, trimming and blowing in 15 minutes by himself.  Now the standard is 3 people one for each task. 

I’ve missed people watching since I have been immersed in work.  It’s nice to see folks out walking and if I get to see a hot/cute guy every now and then it is worth it for me.  Looking is the only action I’ve gotten in a very long time. 

Brushed and trimmed claws on both cats.  Mora put up a little bit of a fight but she didn’t snap or bite me, just cried a little bit.  They both had quite the long sharp nails that could have easily done damage to me or to each other.  Normally I am the victim.  It’s either an accident, were playing or Rudy just makes biscuits and whatever bacteria is on his claws causes my skin to break out with bumps and itch.  Scratching makes it far worse.  I like to stay ahead of this but I do hate holding them down while I hack away at their nails.  The way they both act at times you’d think I was really doing something awful to them. 

While I was eating my snack I caught Rudy he jumped on the counter.  He took his sweet time and hoped that I wouldn’t notice.  I yelled at him right away and he knew to get down.  I think when I am sleeping or away he climbs up there to check out what is going on outside.  It’s the same view just a different vantage point than going to the patio door. 

Man I was so tired last night, just to ensure a sound nights sleep I took an extra sleeping pill.  I was up 3 times to use the bathroom, which is totally not normal.  I didn’t load up on water or anything before bed.  Makes me wonder where did all of that liquid come from?  I didn’t get a great nights sleep but it was average.  What hurt me was that I was a little chilly when sitting in the living room so I had a space heater on.  That got the house up to 77 and it was a little miserable to try to sleep in.  However, once I felt the meds kick in I made my way to bed and it wasn’t long after that I was sawing logs.  I was up at 11p, 12a and 5a.  Kind of felt like a longer night than day.  I could sure use some quality sleep.  Haven’t had a single nap that I can recall all week long.  Last one I took was last week. 

In a perfect world there would be cats, a great man for me (for some hot sex), food, naps and a quality nights sleep.  An ocean front view would be an added plus along with world peace.  What does your perfect world look like? 

Ah Friday again

I am so glad that it’s finally Friday.  I will get a couple days of rest and relaxation away from work and am very much looking forward to it.  Had a meeting with the boss yesterday and he thanked me for being such a workhorse this week.  At least he acknowledged that he sees what I am doing and at least told me that he appreciates it.  Even if it was just empty words, it was good to hear.  I always go above and beyond, it’s something I am known for.  It’s always noticed regardless of where I have worked.  I feel like it’s helped me a lot in my present position.  Sometimes it’s just the little things that turn out to make a huge difference.  Shame I don’t see huge payment reward for that but I look at it as just doing my job.  It also makes me feel good at times. 

This week has been such a whirlwind that I was shocked when I went to the fridge last night and discovered there was no Spaghetti to heat up.  That’s when it hit me that it was just so good I couldn’t stop eating it.  The freezer isn’t nearly as well stocked as I thought it was but I did find a Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo dinner that I had.  It started out good but I soon grew tired of it and wound up throwing the last few bites out.  I had a piece of double layer yellow cake iced with chocolate frosting for desert.  As I was eating it I kept thinking about packing weight on from WFH and being so sedentary.  I don’t want to blow back up like a blimp.  Not that I am exactly thin but I am lighter than I was during the pandemic. 

It probably doesn’t help the fact that tonight’s dinner will likely be a piece of German Chocolate Cake.  I will most likely wait to eat it until after my massage.  If I don’t have that then it will be a Grilled Cheese.  I know I don’t eat healthy but it’s like I told the doctor a long time ago.  There are two things in this world that I absolutely love.  The first is men and the second is food.  If I can’t have one then I am damn hell sure having the other.  Regardless of what I do I am still dying and damn I’d like to go out on a full stomach.  Sure would be nice to get some dick too but at least food is readily within my reach.  He smiled when I told him that.  My doc is a chubby short guy so it’s not like he can complain too much at me for my weight. 

Last night was over with way too quickly.  I took one extra sleeping pill and damn I was out.  Didn’t hear any banging of the cans this morning when the trash people came.  I woke up on my own but Rudy was right there and sensed that I was about to fall back asleep.  He stuck his cold wet nose against mine and damn that woke me up in a hurry.  I sure do love my Rudy wake up calls, they are the best and I hope they never ever end. 

It’s been a busy morning.  There is no time for lunch and I have 3 meetings today which is highly abnormal for a Friday.  There is a slight lull now and I think I am taking advantage of it and will run up to take a bathroom break and perhaps have a little relaxing time with the cats, that is if my phone doesn’t start blowing up. 

I do hate this extra on-call duty and will be glad when the mistake maker gets back.  Until then I suppose I will survive or die trying. Here’s hoping that today speeds by so that I can get on that massage table sooner rather than later!

Have an awesome weekend and take care!

Beep Beep Now you SOB

That photo described exactly how I felt last night.  The timer didn’t turn on at noon, which is good.  However, it is supposed to turn on at Dusk.  I fiddled with it some more before I just opted to yank the fucker from the wall.  I figured a hard reset would be the best. I removed the backup battery and then ripped it out of the wall.  I held it in my hand and the fucker was still alive and refused to die.  I searched on line for a reset button location but couldn’t find one.  Just found some cute verbiage that said push and hold the reset button to return to factory settings.  Shame there wasn’t a diagram or photo.  I’m not in MENSA but damn I’m not stupid.  Guess they forgot to put the reset button on the unit I got. 

Thought about buying a new one, found the exact same thing on Amazon but it wouldn’t be here until Sunday, I don’t have patience to wait that long. 

The house once again was 80 degrees because it got that hot outside.  I had windows open and an exhaust fan going.  I manufactured a breeze but it did little good.  I was fine until I started working on the timer.  I was under hot lights and had a high beam flashlight out. 

Finally after much to do I gave up and decided it was just best to put it back in the wall.  I had moved some of the other switches in the panel and then had a hell of a time getting things to line up.  I was pissed and not thinking clearly.  The best decision I made was to walk away after I got the damn thing mounted correctly back in the wall. 

I was making myself sick.  My back hurt and my stomach was starting to cramp and I felt like I was going to barf.  I stopped and just breathed but I didn’t rest long enough.  I’m convinced that if I kept going I probably would have had the cardiac event I am so concerned about. 

Rudy wasn’t happy with me because I just went to bed and didn’t have play time for him.  I did watch some porn and how I managed to make that work is beyond me but the release helped me a lot.  Didn’t stop the back pain though. 

Had a dream last night where I was visited by my late spouse and a former boss who has passed away.  I miss both of them.  The boss who passed away is the person who hired me to work where I am at now.  She had terminal cancer and I remember when she called to say goodbye to me.  It was in the middle of the morning on an average work day.  Talk about not knowing what to say, I was so out of sorts.  That’s only happened a couple times in my life. 

I did have some sleep interruption around 3a.  Rudy was right there to tell me everything was okay and he cuddled up with me.  I tried to fight it and go back to sleep but that didn’t work.  I wound up watching some TV.  He told me when it was time to go back to sleep again.  Mora made her self known as well and jumped into bed with us. 

Woke up and a little groggy but I pushed forward and got us breakfast.  I didn’t realize that I got out one of the Flaked cans that drives Rudy crazy.  He likes to gobble up the whole thing.  Sometimes he barfs after wards.  I opened a second can of something different for Mora and served her in the living room.  Rudy followed me because it’s about food.  They ate together and then she came in the kitchen and barfed a little bit.  Not the ideal start to the morning but nevertheless a start. 

I got breakfast and meds, dressed and then went out to fetch the trash can.  It’s going to be super windy today and we have storms coming this afternoon/evening that could bring us a Tornado.  Temps are going back in the 80’s but I know after the cool front arrives that is bringing the storms things will cool off.  It’s probably still going to be a hot evening in the house but I hope it’s not too bad. 

To error on the side of caution I took the battery charger off the car.  Last thing I need is for a lighting strike to hit the house and fry the car, that would be major expensive – regardless of who is paying the bill. 

Then for some dumb reason I went back to working on the plate for the switches.  I finally got them just right and the plate fits, it was forced a little bit but nevertheless it’s back on the wall.  I’m going to watch a YouTube video about programming the timer to see if that will help me sort out getting the stupid thing to turn on at dusk.  It still turns off at dawn.  I’m baffled but not defeated. 

I hate these little battles and I managed to be my own worst enemy here but logic applied no power you’d think that the damn timer would cease to function just like anything else that runs on AC.  I had the timer in my hands for easily 10 minutes, pressing buttons thinking that I could make it die but no luck.  Shame they don’t make more things “indestructible” like this. 

Thank God we made it to Friday.  It’s been one hell of a week and damn I need a Saturday to waste away in bed, really bad!  Hope that you have a great weekend and an awesome Friday.  Take care!

No Temperature

Woke up this morning to find out there was no temperature outside.  It was zero.  Yikes, it’s damn cold here.  We should be out of the deep freeze by Saturday or so they say.  Meanwhile my poor car battery is suffering.  The charger that I had claimed it would trickle charge but I found out with some testing last night that is not the case.  I placed an order for a better battery charger from Amazon and it should be here bright and early tomorrow morning.  I look forward to getting it hooked up so that it can take better care of my battery.  It’s supposed to be able to repair damage but I’m not holding my breath on that.  According to my test tool the life of my battery has declined since I started this charging cycle over the weekend we went from 70% life to 65% life.  I don’t know if that’s totally accurate or if the cold factors into it.  It wouldn’t surprise me that the cold has a lot to do with it. 

I am eager to get on the road on Saturday but that won’t happen without some testing first.  I want to make sure that everything electrical is working so I don’t wind up on the side of the road or worse yet stopped dead in traffic.  I don’t believe there are issues just that the damn cold weather wreaked havoc on the battery.  It will be in the shop next Friday and I will have them do a double check for me.  It’s time for an oil change.  Actually I am early but oil is cheap and engines are expensive, no reason not to change it early.  It’s worked well for me thus far and I see no reason to change. 

I’ve seen some ads and New Car Fever is still in my blood but I continue to resist in the hopes that I can build up my savings.  I am also not yet convinced the auto makers aren’t producing quality products just yet.  I don’t want to buy something only to have some silly recall issued.  I know that happens from time to time but I want to avoid it if at all possible. 

Supper last night was a Chicken Pot Pie.  It was frozen and when I put it in the microwave I saw that it was actually expired as of last month.  Still it tasted fine and was quite good.  Tonight is Chicken Fried Steak from the grocery store.  I will half it and that will cover me for tonight and tomorrow.  Then I can eat out or do whatever come the weekend. 

I got a task to take care of on Saturday for work.  It’s quick but requires me to be at home in the late afternoon.  It makes sense to me to do a breakfast run and then get an early lupper (lunch & supper combined). 

After Mora got her treats last night both cats passed out.  To wake them all I had to do was tell them I was headed to bed.  That seems to stir them up and they both were waiting for me to play with them.  I took care of them and wore them out or so I thought.  Rudy had some excess play left in him and he took care of that on his own. 

Meanwhile I was back in my room having some much needed fun of my own.  I’ve been so tired this week and last night I vowed that I would enjoy some alone time.  That was fun and so much so I wanted to do it again.  Once just isn’t always enough for me. 

Went to bed a little too early because I woke up a couple times during the night.  Both cats were in bed with me.  Mora by my feet and Rudy was by my side or on top of me depending on which time it was that I woke up.  I think they were both cold more than anything but I didn’t turn the heat down at all last night and it felt quite comfy in here. 

Watched DOC and St. Denis last night sprinkle in some music and YouTube videos.

On the work front on of the meetings the vendor never showed up so that was good for me.  My boss flooded them with emails as he waited on the line for 15 minutes.  I’ve got a 5 minute rule and no matter who it is if your not there in 5 minutes then I am gone.  I’ve got a meeting that the boss will be at tomorrow morning and as per usual I don’t look forward to it.  However, unless something changes today is meeting free so I can savor and enjoy that.  It’s been a little busy but nothing I can’t handle. 

No one here has bothered to shovel their driveways.  I just see tire tracks which tells me it’s not that bad outside.  I will find out first hand this afternoon when I set the trash barrel out.  I know just going in the garage in a t-shirt and sweats is uncomfortable I know it’s got to be worse if I raise the door.  The sun is outside so it looks deceptively warmer out but trust me when I say it is not.  Haven’t picked up any movement on the cameras but I do see some paw prints on the back deck. 

Happy Friday eve here hoping that today goes by fast and tomorrow even faster.  I am eager to get to the weekend even if I have to do some work over the weekend.  I’m looking forward to the drive and just relaxing if that is possible. 

Take care and stay warm.  Thanks for dropping by!

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!

The last laugh

Friday afternoon was not a whole lot of fun.  Things were calm and boring at work.  I decided that I would have some fun on Only Fans and check out a former porn star.  I subscribed to his OF and then my internet went down.  This was 3p and it didn’t come back up until 7a on Saturday. 

I had to get connected for work never mind porn.  Thankfully I turned on the hotspot on my phone and was able to login with my laptop to work.  I also connected my Roku player and was able to stream content so I wasn’t stuck bored with absolutely nothing to do. 

That pretty much took care of Friday night.  I couldn’t sleep very well because I was concerned about the internet but I had no control over that.  I woke up a couple times during the night and it was still down. 

Woke up at my normal time and decided to just get up and get ready.  I showered and just waited for my haircut time and left.  As I looked out my front yard I saw something sticking out of the snow but couldn’t identify what it was.  When I left for my haircut I got a closer look.  Those kids that cleared my driveway left one of their shovels.  They actually buried it with the snow they were clearing.  Looks like I got the last laugh there because it’s a nice shovel, not that I will ever use it.  I kind of felt like calling the guy up and holding the shovel for ransom but I know that wouldn’t go anywhere so I am just telling you about it and keeping the shovel.  I thought it was quite funny. 

After my haircut I went for Blueberry Pancakes that I had been craving.  It was damn cold outside but wasn’t a whole lot warmer inside of the restaurant I went to.  A hot young blonde stud came in with a small family.  Of course he sat facing me so I never got to look at his rear end but damn I just imagined that he was probably hung because he was super skinny and had the deepest voice.  He probably was somewhere between 18 and 20 if I had to guess.  I enjoyed breakfast and behaved myself. 

Next stop was the post office and wow there was a lot of mail.  Of course I get home and got an email that a package of medicine was just delivered.  I debated if I should go back.  However, I was in my nice warm home and there was no way I was going right back out. 

I loafed with the cats as we waited for the Amazon person to arrive.  I got immersed in a new series on Amazon called Cross.  It’s a mini series based about homicides that play out in the cast of characters.  It does get pretty sick and twisted but I was roped in and just finished it this morning.  Lots of plot twists and turns that kept me wanting more.  I hope they make a second season of this show. 

Went out for BBQ in the afternoon.  The meal it’s self was horrible but I didn’t leave hungry but didn’t exactly enjoy my meal.  An older guy walked in and my little voice spoke to me to buy his meal.  I haven’t done that kind deed in several months.  I got his waitresses attention about the time I was wrapping up with my meal and paid his bill.  She asked me why I was paying and I told her it was a random act of kindness.  I told her my line about the magic trick and about all of the crazy ass responses I’ve gotten.  Nothing could prepare me for the response I was going to get from this guy.  Once I paid my bill I got up and walked over and threw my line on him.  He told me that he doesn’t like magic.  I told him that I made his bill disappear and he just looked at me and said okay.  He acted like he didn’t believe me.  I said I really paid your bill. He just said yeah, okay whatever.  I told his waitress that she would have to explain it to him.  That is the first time I didn’t get a thank you.  That bothered me but I know I did the right thing.  My little voice doesn’t typically lead me in the wrong direction.  His bill was peanuts so it’s not like it’s going to break me. 

After doing that kind deed you’d think the universe would be kind to me.  Nope I went back to grab my medicine from the post office and damn if I didn’t step in chewing gum.  I didn’t figure that out until I got inside of the house and my shoes were sticking to the carpet.  Why do people not use trash cans. 

I worked on laundry and got on Only Fans.  Damn it was late when I was done like 10p and I came down around 5p. I did break to pass out cat treats and throw the laundry into the dryer.  I was just determined to make my way to the end of the page.  There was lots of good content but most of it was solo.  I was all horned up but damn tired.  I gathered the laundry headed up and the cats followed me.  It was time for bed.  I had zero energy left.  Just watched a little TV and I was out. 

Rudy woke me this morning and I hit snooze on him. He gave me 15 additional minutes before he began his biscuit making routine.  I got up and passed out breakfast for them.  I got dressed, took my pills and headed out for breakfast.  The car said the outside temp was 11.  I was damn cold and after I ate and was on my way to the grocery store the outside temp was 10.  It’s supposed to just get colder all day long.  Although right now it’s 13 and windy.  The high for today is 22 but I don’t think we are going to see it and the low is 5. 

Silly me decided that I would go to a favorite chain Mexican place.  The problem is that this place is not terribly far from work so it’s about 40 miles from home.  The food is good but I don’t know that it’s worth the trip but my taste buds are telling me to go, but my body says stay home.  I am going to venture out for a bite to eat just not sure that today is the day I am going to that Mexican place.  Might just go to a place that is closer to home. 

I’ve had my nap after the grocery store and gotten my medicine out as well as cleaned the house.  Came down to do more laundry and play on the computer.  I found a podcast called Out ‘N Proud on YouTube.  The hosts are two hot blond kids and of course they have Only Fans accounts.  One of them said that he was really super hung and well I got curious.  I signed up for his OF and turns out he’s a total tease.  He never shows the goods just photos of him hard in underwear.  I didn’t pay that much for joining but damn I did feel like a sucker.  I was afraid he would have all PPV content but he doesn’t.  Everything he has is just a tease to get you worked up and of course take your money.  That and apparently PPV content is the new thing that younger generation is using to make their wealth.  I felt like a sucker for giving into my hormones and joining but you do get what you pay for. 

Oh yeah, the Amazon person did come yesterday.  I got a new heater for my office in the basement.  It’s Chinese made and while it works it’s nothing like the USA brands that I have seen before nor does it work exactly the same, close but not the same.  It was also a disaster to get the base on the thing but after much trial and error I succeeded.  The one thing that I do like about it is there is what I call a dead man switch.  As long as the switch is in contact with the floor the until will operate but the second it loose contact with the ground the unit grounds to a halt.  This thing seems to think that it’s 68 degrees in the basement and I’ve got a thermometer here that says different.  Not sure if this thing is in Fahrenheit or Celsius and there doesn’t seem to be a way to tell or change that.  Nevertheless it does put out some decent heat.  Once again it goes back to you get what you pay for. 

I want to make it to Sam’s Club tomorrow that’s my only goal for the day.  Thought about trying to grab lunch with a friend but talked myself out of that.  I may dine out tomorrow as well just because I can and it’s more enjoyable than eating at home.  Although it’s not going to be any warmer tomorrow than it is today.  Were not going to break out of the serious cold until Wednesday and even then the high is only 30.  Not sure about you but I am over winter already. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope that you are warm and well.  Take care!

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!

Getting it

Well the more the thought I put in to an iPad and the use cases that I am thinking of I opted to give it a go.  Here’s hoping that I won’t be sorry.  I purchased a refurb iPad 2021 [WIFI ONLY] 10.2 inch model from Amazon in Space Grey.  Got a keyboard case and a knock off Apple Pencil.  It was around $300 total, which isn’t horrible.  The trio of technology if Amazon’s website is correct will all be delivered to me on Tuesday aka Christmas Eve.  Perfect timing.  Lots of time to charge everything up and then work on setup and playtime.  Considering that I will have 5 days in a row off once I end work on Tuesday.  So looking forward to it and hoping that all of these arrive on time.  If I use this 1/2 as much as I think I will it should really cut down on the battery use for my iPhone and help to preserve it a bit longer.  It’s 2 years old and still running with 80% battery life.  I just tamed some applications that were hogging the battery and the performance now is decent.  A benefit to getting the iPad is that I will have to get used to no home button and face id, which will help me when ever it is that I finally do upgrade my phone. 

Here’s the best part of the whole purchase is that it’s all paid for or will be come Tuesday.  The money will actually go out tomorrow morning and my bank aka credit card company will process it on Tuesday.  I sent them an excess of money so if my math is correct I will have around a $95 credit balance which won’t be hard to go through. 

I had some great plans for last night but by the time I got the bed made, fought with Mora to get her back upstairs and worked with the dishes and my normal shutdown routine I was quite tired.  The sleepy time meds kicked in what seemed like in record time and I was super drowsy so I just opted to watch TV and I was in bed and passed out pretty fast. 

Chariotz the You Tuber I spoke of had a new story out and I was eager to hear it last night.  I had forgotten all about it.  Rudy woke me up at 6:30a this morning and I had time to kill.  That’s when I turned on the TV and that video was the first thing in the list.  I listened to it and he got me all worked up.  Had to watch some porn after that and wow what a great way to start the morning!  Morning time is usually the time of day that works best for me to be super horny but unless there is something that turns me on it’s not something that happens automatically any more.  Used to be when I was younger morning time was always a good time. 

Got dressed and headed out for breakfast.  Ordered a burger with an over hard fried egg, got fries with it and it came with soup but I upgraded to chili.  Kind of to relive the good old days of when I went to Steak N Shake for breakfast and would order the same thing and finish with a milkshake to help calm my stomach down a bit.  No milkshake this morning.  The idea was great but the taste wasn’t there.  Only thing that was really on point was the fries.  The chili was good for the first couple bites but then I could just taste salt and grease.  Cheese on the burger was salty and the burger was way oversized to the point where I think I ate more like a burger and a half. 

Next stop was the grocery store.  I got a lot of Christmas junk food.  Chocolate and more cookies, along with more pie.  I told myself that I would get some decent food so that I wasn’t going to starve and picked up a few frozen items from Stouffers.  Also got a couple pints of Hagen Daz.  I did get another ham holiday meal for one and know that will be delicious.  Finally last thing on the list that I promised myself I would buy this week and that’s eggnog.  I didn’t get a lot but am sure that once it chills up to my preference it will be delicious. 

Came home and put everything away.  Started my morning tv watching and preparing for a nap.  Just fell asleep when the damn phone rang and it was the trash company reminding me that pickup this week due to Christmas would be a day late.  I don’t mind the call but their timing could have been better.  I tried to go back to sleep after that but it was pointless.  Just laid in bed with both cats and eventually Rudy had enough and left.  He begged me to get up and I wouldn’t budge that is until after he stormed off.  Mora stayed behind to help coax me along and that worked.  They some Salmon for lunch.  It’s been out of stock everywhere for a couple weeks, so I was thrilled to see it back in stock even if I did have to pay grocery store prices for it.  The cats deserve something as well. 

Now I just want to see some hot buns and I’m talking on a hot guy.  The best way I can think to accomplish that is to head out for pizza.  Going to a place that is a bit out of the way and taking a chance that the hot straight guy I like will be working.  That would help make my Christmas.  Nevertheless I will be having pizza.  I could go local to a place where I know I’d see a hot guy or two but I really want the drive.  My poor vehicle has sat idle longer than I want it to and I thought up this trip idea for pizza last weekend.  Despite being on-call it’s a trip I am going to take and hope for the best outcome.  Pizza and some guy watching is the perfect thing for me on a Sunday or any day for that matter. 

It’s warmer out now than it was this morning but I still don’t relish getting out in the cold.  At least the roads are dry and we have no snow or rain to contend with as that would probably work to help keep me home. 

I’m hoping that this two day work week will be quiet and fast moving because I am ready to disconnect for a bit if not from the world as a whole at least work.  The last week of the year will be very busy for me even though that is only two days as well but I will be earning the time I took off.  Last business day of the year is always when all of the “fun” happens. 

Well the dryer just went off and I guess I should get going.  Hope your Sunday is going well and that you too only have a short work week ahead.  Stay warm and well.  Talk with you all soon!
